Follow this Doom walkthrough to find the hidden switch behind the pillar, lower it, and retrieve the Red Key. Learn how to navigate the lifts and secret areas.
Walkthrough
- 1After activating the initial switch, step on the teleporters to avoid being teleported away, then leave the room.
- 2Head up the stairs in front of you, then down the staircase below.
- 3Follow the hall until you see an opening to your right. Clear out any Imps, Hell Knights, and Lost Souls.
- 4Enter the opening. Head straight and go up the staircase to your left.
- 5At the top, open and go through the door to your left.
- 6Kill any remaining enemies in this room.
- 7Open the Red Door to your right and go through it.
- 8Kill the Hell Knight across from you, then hit the switch at the other end of the room.
- 9Leave this room and open the door across from you to re-enter the hall.
- 10You will be in the room with rising and dropping lifts. Kill any remaining Imps.
- 11Use your Automap to reach the southeast corner of this room.
- 12Face forward from the southeast corner. You will see a pillar between two lifts.
- 13Switch to your Automap and zoom in (X+L1). Facing the pillar without a lift, you should see lines forming a triangle in the back of the pillar. This is a hidden switch.
- 14Wait for the lift to the right of this pillar to rise.
- 15After the lift rises, wait a few seconds and drop down to the pit below.
- 16Get in front of the pillar and press Circle to lower it, revealing a switch. Hit the switch.
- 17Step back through the teleporter. The lift in front of you should be lowered.
- 18Run and step through the lowered lift. When teleporting, back up until you fall to a floor below.
- 19Turn right to a secret opening and go through it. This switch opens a secret opening for a few seconds. If it's there, go through it.
- 20If the secret opening is not there, return to the room, lower the pillar, hit the switch, step back through the teleporter, and RUN to the teleporter very fast when it's lowered. Drop to the floor behind you and go through the secret opening to the right.
- 21In this secret room, there is a teleporter and a switch. Do NOT go through the teleporter, or you will need to repeat the process of hitting the switch behind the pillar. Hit the switch to be transported to another secret level.
