Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start the level in a small white corridor, with a shotgunner in front of you. Follow the path and kill the enemies; you will reach a room with multiple paths. Follow the east path. In the computer maze, go straight ahead until you reach a triangular shaped platform. Climb up to the upper area and keep going east until you reach a door with red marks on it. Inside is the red key. Be careful not to run in because of the high amount of demons inside.
Once you have the key, return to the starting area and simply go through the red door. The next area is full of enemies. If you don't have enough ammo try to infight them. At the back of the room is the blue key.
Go the way to the blue key door, the path is linear so you can't miss it. At the end you will find an area with torches, barrels and enemies. At the bottom is the yellow key. Once you have it, go back to the start and go through the yellow door.
The final area is a single path, however, it is plagued by a lot of enemies. Remember to pick up the megaarmor and ammo in the small room pointing north. When you reach the end of this area there will be a small fight against a cyberdemon. Try to take him out of hiding and fight in the open area. On the other hand, you can simply dodge it and keep going until you press the exit switch to end the level.
