Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start in a small room with a walkway in front of you with a shotgun on it. Take care not to fall into the water on either side as the pools are 20% damaging floors with no escape. On both sides of the walkway are windows with chaingunners in them. Kill them if you want, then proceed forward and grab the megaarmor. In this room are two columns blocking access to hallways behind them. Hit the button on either one, and both columns will lower and release barons of Hell. Kill them, then proceed down either hallway, wary of the revenant at the end. You will be overlooking a large courtyard with cacodemons, demons, and mancubi. There are also a pair of raised platforms at each end with chaingunners. Clear out the room in whichever way suits you, then proceed to the south-east walkway.
Take a few steps into the room, and you will be greeted by chaingunners on each pillar and a spiderdemon, as well as a pair of arachnotrons on raised platforms. Move out, kill whoever is in sight, and move back to cover. When they are dealt with, collect the rockets on the platform the spiderdemon was on, and grab the blue keycard in the room leading off of the one you are in. This will release a bunch of revenants, so run back to the courtyard fast, where more chaingunners have been released.
Head to the northwestern walkway, and slay the chaingunners on the platforms in the room leading off. Behind the northeastern platform is a rocket launcher which you can get if you want. Head into either hallway, grab the armor, and head into the room with the stairs. Kill the chaingunners at the top, and quickly run all the way up the stairs. Peek down and you will see some arch-viles coming after you. Once they are dead, kill the chaingunners that also showed up, then open the door, which will release six barons and an arch-vile, so run down the stairs, then kill them. Go back up, kill the arch-vile, and hit the switch, which will open the door you tried to open, releasing three more barons. Kill them, then step on the exit pad.
Secrets[edit]
- Once in the grassy outdoor area, climb either staircase in the southwest corner. There is a teleporter in a recessed corner up here; take it to get to the raised ledge with the plasma gun on it. From here, you can drop onto the nearby megasphere. (sector 35)
