Find the Blue Key in Duke Nukem 3D by navigating the bank's exterior, alleyway, and office. Includes enemy encounters and item locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start in rubble with Pipebombs. Grab the Shotgun from a ledge and a Portable Medikit from a dumpster. Find Shotgun Shells behind the dumpster. Beware of a COP that spawns when entering the dumpster. Three garbage cans are present; one contains a Slimer, another contains Steroids. Enemies on a ledge across the way can be taken out with RPG blasts. A Jetpack allows access to an RPG and two boxes of Shotgun Shells on a higher ledge.
  2. 2
    Proceed down the street, engaging three Enforcers and a hidden Pig Cop. An RPV appears further ahead.
  3. 3
    Enter the bank area with pillars. You will be attacked by a Trooper. You can choose to go into an alleyway, towards ATM machines, or into the bank itself.
  4. 4
    Enter the dark alleyway to your left. Be prepared for four Pig Cops and an RPV to emerge from a door and window. Pipebombs are located near the window in the alley.
  5. 5
    Inside the large door in the alley, jump on Cola machines to reach an Atomic Health. Find a Freezer on a wall shelf and Chaingun Cannon Ammo on a vending machine. Use the elevator at the end of the room to reach an office.
  6. 6
    Upon entering the office, two Enforcers will enter through the window. Use a Pipebomb to clear enemies inside a cubicle. Find Steroids, Freezer Ammo, and RPG Ammo in the room. The window offers a vantage point to target three Pig Cops and two Mounted Guns outside the bank, though aiming may be difficult.
  7. 7
    Locate the switch in the office. Activating it opens a bookshelf, revealing the Blue Key.

SECRET 1

  1. Find a switch on the desk within the cubicle. This opens a painting, revealing a Devastator.
  2. Drop out of the office window onto a ledge that is inaccessible without a Jetpack.
  3. On this ledge, you will find two Laser Tripbombs, Body Armor, and an Atomic Health.
Tips
  • Use RPG blasts to clear enemies on ledges from a distance.
  • The office window provides a tactical advantage for engaging enemies outside the bank.
  • Pipebombs are effective for clearing enemies inside the cubicle in the office.
