Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Turn around and shoot the switch to reveal the entire 1024x1024 playable area, which consists of a single room divided into 225 small squares. Your objective is to press seven switches dotted around the area, which will lower the barriers in the north-east corner and allow you to reach the exit switch behind them.
Stepping on most of the squares will cause various species of monster to teleport in, which will rapidly teleport around the map in unpredictable patterns, making them extremely hard to hit. Additionally, closets containing zombiemen, shotgun guys and imps (or chaingunners and revenants on Hurt Me Plenty skill level or higher) will open around the outer walls as you advance - cover is virtually non-existent, so it is best to step on one square at a time and deal with the monsters in small groups as they appear. Running across the room will bring in too many monsters, leaving you overwhelmed. Try to remember which squares you have already stepped on, and avoid stepping on any new squares while dodging enemy attacks.
On Ultra-Violence and Nightmare, a cyberdemon will teleport in when you step on the last four squares in the north-east corner. You should therefore save this switch for last, then dodge the cyberdemon's rockets while you wait for the exit switch to be revealed.
Other points of interest[edit]
Approaching either of the two megaspheres in the north-west and south-east corners of the room will cause six of the squares to rise up to the ceiling, providing some much-needed cover.
Secrets[edit]
There are no official secrets on this map.
Bugs[edit]
If not all of the barriers blocking access to the exit switch have been lowered, it may be possible to get stuck between them, rendering the map unwinnable without using the noclip cheat.
