    From the start, kill Imps and activate a hanging body on the left wall using the Circle button to reveal a secret room.

  4. 4
    Clear the room of Shotgun Guys and Zombiemen, using a BFG or Chaingun if needed.

    Turn right and follow the path to a door shaped like a demon head. Open it.
  6. 6

  7. 7
    Follow the walkway to another demon head door, open it, and step on the teleporter.
  8. 8
    You will arrive in a large room; kill the Imps and Shotgun Guys, then head up the stairs.
  9. 9
    At the top, go right to another staircase, then head down it.

    In the area surrounded by pillars, lower each pillar by pressing Circle to collect items like a Backpack, Energy Cell Pack, Light Amplification Goggles, Soulsphere, and Boxes of Shotgun Shells.
  11. 11
    Head back up the stairs and follow the pathway straight until you hit a wall, eliminating any Spectres or Cacodemons.
  12. 12
    Go down the stairs to your left and through the opening.
  13. 13
    Kill the Shotgun Guys, turn right, and hit the switch to lower the floor to your left. Drop down.
  14. 14
    Follow the hallway to find the Yellow Key, defeating any Demons, Cacodemons, and Shotgun Guys. Pick up the Yellow Key.
  15. 15
    Turn around and head up the staircase to your left.
  16. 16
    At the top, kill the Shotgun Guys, then go down the staircase in this room to collect a Soulsphere.
  17. 17
    Step on the nearby teleporter to be transported back near the start of the level, in front of a building with Yellow and Red Doors.
  18. 18
    Open one of the doors and kill the Cacodemon inside, then hit the switch.
  19. 19
    Go to the other door, open it, kill the Cacodemon, and hit the switch.
  20. 20
    Exit the small room to find a new walkway across the lava pit. Head up the stairs at the end.
  21. 21
    Open the door at the top and enter the final area. Kill all the Hell Knights on the other side of the pillar to win.
  22. 22
    Once all Hell Knights are dead, the central pillar will lower, revealing the exit teleporter. Collect any remaining health and ammo, then step on it.
Tips
  • For groups of Hell Knights, 2-3 BFG shots are effective; otherwise, use the Shotgun, Chaingun, and Plasma Gun.
  • Use pillars and openings for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) when needed.
  • If you run out of ammo, staircases to the left and right of the main pillar lead to a Rocket Launcher and Plasma Gun respectively, with their corresponding ammo.
  • A hidden BFG can be found: with your back to the door, go to the other side of the pillar and press Circle on the walls until a hidden door opens, revealing Energy Cell Packs and a BFG.
  • For health or armor, two pillars in the room contain a MegaArmor and a Soulsphere; use Circle to lower them.
