This level uses the "Core" mode, where the objective is to prevent monsters destroying a computer core.

Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
As soon as the level starts, head across the bridge to collect a backpack and shotgun then go north to find the item pads, which hold ammo as well as a rocket launcher and chaingun; from here, head north to reach the core room.
Monsters will spawn from two burning caverns on the east side of the level; they will then head west until they enter the building, following three wide corridors to reach the core. If possible, destroy as many enemies as possible before they exit the burning caverns; once they emerge from the caverns they will be able to spread out. The BFG9000 is best used outdoors, while the plasma repeater works well in the corridors. Be ready to use powerups on the final wave to contain the large number of monsters
A second ammo pad can be found in the corridor north of the core, while a second health pad can be found by entering the north-east corridor from the core room then heading due east up some steps.
