Duke Nukem 3D Hotel Hell walkthrough: defeat enemies, find RPG, and open the Red Key Door to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the main station area, open the double doors to reveal a Commander and an Enforcer. Defeat them.
  2. 2
    A Chaingun Cannon is on the table, and Chaingun Cannon Ammo is on the left bookshelf.
  3. 3
    SECRET 4: Go behind the red curtain at the back of the room to find two Freezer Ammo and an Atomic Health.
  4. 4
    To exit the building, go onto the roof. You can find Devastator Ammo and a Shotgun there. Be aware that some Sentry Drones (flying robotic enemies) will spawn on the roof, so using a Jetpack (a power-up allowing flight) might be a safer approach to collect these items.
  5. 5
    Return to the waterway and emerge at the Red Key door you've seen previously.
  6. 6
    Warning: Prepare for a difficult fight as three Enforcers and two Battlelords (powerful armored enemies) will be waiting. Use the water to your advantage by going in and out as needed.
  7. 7
    After defeating the enemies, a switch on the wall opens a compartment containing an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher).
  8. 8
    There is a crack in the wall that can be destroyed to proceed.
  9. 9
    Inside the crack, you will find a couple of Large Medikits on a ledge and the Exit Symbol shortly after.
Tips
  • To end the E3L08 Hotel Hell level early, toss a Pipebomb (an explosive thrown weapon) through the crack in the wall and detonate it. This will open the passage to the exit much sooner.
  • This section is part of E3L08 Hotel Hell, with a par time of 02:15. It has 3 secrets and exits to E3L09 and E3L11s. Access to Secret Level E3L11, Freeway is also available.
