Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials[edit]

Secrets[edit]

After going through the blue door, turn left. On the south wall of this corridor, there is a very well hidden switch. Pressing it opens an adjacent compartment, containing a rocket launcher, and some rifle cartridges. (sector 588)
In the room after the cacodemon ambush corridor, jump down into the slime river. To the immediate north, open the "POISON" sign on the west wall. Rifle cartridges, a chaingun and a blue armor can be found inside. (sector 960)
After opening through the triple-locked door, open the wall on the immediate right. The soulsphere secret has been moved here. The original was replaced with an ambush by a single lost soul. (sector 2232)

Areas / screenshots[edit]

The start area of the original level. This time though, the demons are already dead.
As mentioned in the secrets section above, the soulsphere has been moved. Instead, have a taunting message!
Don't dawdle on the pathway to the lift this time, as it will start to collapse.
The new arena for the first and third boss fights with barons and Bruiser Demons repsectively. The red light at the centre of the arena is a portal to hell.
The region of hell you visit after the first boss fight.
A similar arena in hell. The second boss fight - with more barons - takes place here.
