Secrets 8. Update History 9. Credits =========== 1. Controls =========== A: Open Doors, flip switches, select stuff from the pause menu D-Pad: Move B (held down): Run when moving *Y: Shoot *X: Change weapon L and R: Strafe left or right Select: Views Automap Start: Pauses the game *Cannot shoot or change weapon if Automap is displayed. On the Automap, X and Y will zoom in and zoom out. ========== 2. Weapons ========== Fist: A useless arm, but upgraded with a Berserk. Should only be used on Zombiemen and Shotgun Guys. Chainsaw: Better than the fist, but not too powerful. Should be used on Zombiemen, Shotgun Guys, Imps, Demons, Cacodemons. First found in E1M2, Nuclear Plant. Pistol: Another useless weapon. This should only be used on Zombiemen, Shotgun Guys, Imps, and Lost Souls. Shotgun: A pretty decent weapon, and knocks many of the small enemies in one hit. This should be used on Zombiemen, Shotgun Guys, Imps, Lost Souls, and Demons. First found in E1M1, Hangar. Chaingun: Uses the same type of bullets the pistol uses, but is much better. Sort of like a machine gun, and best used on Zombiemen, Shotgun Guys, Imps, Lost Souls, Cacodemons, and Demons. First Found in E1M2, Nuclear Plant. Rocket Launcher: One of the most powerful weapons in the game. Be careful, because if the rocket explodes right next to you, you will lose a lot of health, possibly death. Should be used on anything, first found in E1M3, Toxin Refinery. Plasma Gun: Pretty much like the Chaingun, but more powerful. The only disadvantage of this weapon is that if you fire too much, the cell projectiles could take up the screen, and enemies could take cheap shots on you. Useful on everything except for Cyberdemons and Spider Masterminds, for the projectile screening. First found on E2M1, Deimos Anomaly. BFG 9000: The most powerful weapon in the game. It's possible that this can clear up a whole room of enemies, and this can't damage you. Best on everything, and first found on E3M3, Pandemonium. ========== 3. Enemies ========== Zombieman: The weakest enemy in the game. All weapons are useful on him, as he attacks with his Pistol. First found on E1M1, Hangar, and uses his Pistol for attacking. Shotgun Guy: Just like the Zombiemen, but a lot tougher. All weapons will do, and killing him gives you a nice Shotgun. On skill levels lower than "Ultra Violence", first found on E1M3: Toxin Refinery. On "Ultra Violence" and "Nightmare", first found on E1M1: Hangar. His Shotgun is his only offense. Imp: About the size of the Zombiemen and Shotgun guys, but does not use a gun. They are almost 100% brown, and they use fireballs and they scratch for attacking. Any weapon powerful than a Pistol is good, and they are first found on E1M1: Hangar. Demon: They walk on four legs, and they are pure pink. They bite you for their only attack, and weapons powerful than a Pistol are good. First found on E1M3, Toxin Refinery. Lost Soul: Annoying little suckers that can fly and bite you. All weapons are god, as these are small. Killing them is a good thing, because if you don't, they can annoy you for the whole level. On skill level, "Hey, Not Too Rough", they appear first on E2M1, Deimos Anomaly. They appear on E2M3: Deimos Lab first on skill level: "Hurt Me Plenty". Anything harder than "Hurt Me Plenty", they appear first on E2M2, Refinery. They are skull heads that are on fire too. Cacodemon: They can fly like the Lost Souls, and they look like a big round red monster with one eye. Their only attack is a fireball, and if you have anything powerful than a Shotgun, you should be okay. On skill level "Hey Not Too Rough", they appear first on E2M2: Refinery. Anything harder than that and they appear first on E2M1: Deimos Anomaly. Baron of Hell: They can stand up on two legs, and these are powerful. They can use their fireballs and they scratch for attacks, and 2 of these are the boss of E1M7: Phobos Anomaly (which is their first appearance), and weapons powerful than Rocket Launchers are useful. Cyberdemon: One of the toughest in the game, and these are dangerous. They fire out rockets for attacking, and the BFG and Rocket Launcher are your best choices. They are on 2 legs, and these are the biggest in the game. First found on E2M5: Tower of Babel (this is the boss there). Spider Mastermind: If you don't know what this looks like, this is a big spider found at the end of the game. They have a Super Chaingun for attacking, and the BFG and the Rocket Launcher will do. This is the final boss and its first appearance is E3M7: Dis. ======== 4. Items ======== First, the ammo: Note that whenever I say "harder skill levels", that means anything harder than "I'm Too Young To Die". Clip: Ammo for your Pistol and Chaingun. On "I'm Too Young To Die", these are worth 20 bullets picking up of the ground, not enemies (Zombiemen on this skill level give you ten), and is half the amount on both on harder skill levels. Box of Bullets: These are Clips, with more ammo. Contain 200 bullets in them, 100 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Pistol and Chaingun. Shotgun Shells: They look like a red rectangle on the ground, and is worth 8 shells from the ground, and 4 from enemies. Half the amount on shells, but not from Shogun Guys on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Shotgun Box of Shells: Picking these up gives you 40 shells, 20 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Shotgun. Rocket: Worth 2 rockets, 1 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Rocket Launcher. Box of Rockets: Worth 10 rockets, 5 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Rocket Launcher. Cell Pack: Worth 40 cells, 20 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Plasma Gun and BFG 9000. Energy Cell Pack: Worth 200 cells, 100 on harder skill levels. Ammo for the Plasma Gun and BFG 9000. ***** Items ***** Stimpack: Picking these up adds 10% health to yourself. Medikit: Picking these bigger health packages up adds 25% health back. Health Bonus: Worth 1% health when picking up, this can go past 100% health. Armor Bonus: Worth 1% armor when picking up, this can go past 100% armor. Green Armor. If your armor is below 100% this puts your armor at 100%. Blue Armor: These will put your armor to 200%. Soulsphere: Picking these blue spheres up adds 100% health back. Berserk: Picking these up powers up your fist, and this effect wears off at the end of the level. This will set your health to 100% if below 100%. Radiation Suit: Putting these on allows you to cross toxic pools without being hurt. This effect is temporary, and the screen goes green until it wears off. Computer Area Map: Fills up your Automap 100% (except for objects), and the gray areas are the areas you haven't explored. This effect lasts for the rest of the level. Blur Artifact: These turn you invisible for a short amount of time, and enemies can't see you from a distance. Light Amplication Visors: These can brighten up the level for a short amount of time. Useful for when you're in a dark area. Invincibility Sphere: These turn you invincible for a short amount of time, and the screen goes white while this effect lasts. Barrels: Not an item, but if destroyed, enemies could be weaken or killed if near these things. The weakening and death can go to you too. Crushing Ceilings: These can hurt you, and can weaken/kill enemies. Obviously not an item. ============== 5. Walkthrough ============== Super Nintendo Doom is divided into 3 episodes: Episode 1: Knee Deep in the Dead (8 levels) Episode 2: The Shores of Hell (6 levels) Episode 3: Inferno (8 levels) ------------ E1M1: Hanger ------------ At the start, there is a health potion to the left and right of you. Go straight and enter the room to the left, and beware the Shotgun Guys on skill levels 4 and 5. Take their Shotguns, including the Combat Armor, health and armor potions too. When you are done, leave the room, and head left into the alcove, and go through the door. Kill all the enemies in this room, and watch out for the Shotgun Guys on skill levels 4 and 5. When this room is empty, collect all the items and ammo here, and go through the passage at the northernmost part of the room. Kill the Zombieman at the stairs, and collect the health bonuses, and go down the stairs. Kill every enemy here, including the Imp(s) on the platform. Get past the zigzag floor to the other side of the room. Before you open the door, check the walls to the right until you find a secret area. In here, go down the stairs and kill the Shotgun Guys on skill levels 4 and 5, and collect the ammo and health here. Go outside and collect the Mega Armor, and go back to the zig zag room, and now go through the door. Kill the enemies here, and get the health, and go to the exit door. But before you go into the exit room, go back to the zig zag room (again). Remember that platform that had the Imp(s) on it? It's now been lowered. Go into the new room that was behind the platform, and get yourself a Shotgun on skill levels 3 and below, with a box of shells and health, and a Shotgun Guy on skill levels 4 and 5. Now go to back to the exit door, open it, grab the items, and hit the exit switch. ------------------- E1M2: Nuclear Plant ------------------- Get out of the starting alcove and go right. You will be in front of a door, but go left, and kill any enemies there. Now check the wall across from the wall in between the 2 doors until the wall opens. Grab the goodies in here, and flip the switch (don't forget the backpack), and leave this room. Take the door to the left, and kill the enemy in front of you. Go up the stairs, and while you're climbing up, go through the opening to the left when you see it. On skill levels 4 and 5, beware of all the nasty Shotgun Guys here. But out here you can get a Soulsphere and a Chaingun and some Chaingun ammo. Now go back through the opening. Climb up the stairs in front of you, and when you get to the top, skill the enemies here, and get the Red Key in this little room. Now go back to the room we started in. Get to other side of the room, killing any enemies in your way. Go through the Red Door. Kill all the enemies in front of you, and head straight, going up the stairs. From the edge of the stairs, get to the other side of the room, and collect the health and ammo, and go down the elevator. Down here is an "ambush" of enemies. Kill all of them, even the enemies on the high platforms. Hit the switch , and 2 doors will open. Take either one, and go right down the stairs, and open the exit door. Kill the enemies, go down the lift, and watch out for that nasty Imp there on hard skill levels, and hit the exit switch. -------------------- E1M3: Toxin Refinery -------------------- Open the door in front of you, kill all the enemies in here, and go left, following the hallway into a door. When you open it, shoot the barrel to see those 2 zombiemen go to waste. Go right up the stairs, and take a left, going down some stairs. Kill any enemies to your right, and use the barrel (stay a safe distance), and watch many enemies get killed. Go to where all the dead bodies are (you'll see them on high skill levels), and it you don't know what I'm talking about, It's the alcove to the left of the last staircase we took. Hit the switch over here. Go back upstairs and to the right. A new passage in this room has opened. Go up the stairs, killing any enemies in your way. Leave the room once you do (down the stairs), and go back up. As you are getting up the stairs, you should hear the sound of an elevator. Here's a little map where the sounds are coming from: A1 A2|------------------------------------| | | | |-----| |---| |-----------| | | | |-------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------| | | | |-----------| |------------------| | | | X | Say the X is you. The sounds are coming from A1, and A2, which are the platforms in front of the "computer wall". Run to A2 first (get on the platform that dropped, and walk to the "computer wall" and it should open. Go downstairs, and kill any Imps there. Hit the switch on the pillar and get the Soulsphere when it comes down. Go back, exit A2, and run to A1, and do the same thing as last time. When it does open go straight, kill any enemies here, and get the Rocket Launcher and Armor. Go right, jumping in the toxic river, entering the slime tunnel. When you get to the end, hit the switch, get the backpack, and check the walls to the right of the switch until the door opens. Go inside, get all the goodies in here, hop on the elevator, and check the wall at the end of the room, and it should open. Grab the stuff in this room, and take the lift down, and go back up the stairs from this familiar room. Go right again, open the door, and cross the new bridge made. When you get to the wall. It should open. Walk up and kill all of the enemies, and watch out for the wall that opens which has a few enemies. Walk straight some more for more of this room to be revealed, and then go in this new area. Take the alcove here, open the exit door, and hit the exit switch (this was to the secret exit ;)). ------------------- E1M8: Military Base ------------------- At the start, collect the two clips to the left and right of you, and get out of the alcove. Kill all the Imps in the Imp Cage, and kill any Zombiemen/Shotgun Guys that come for you. Take the staircase to the left of the starting alcove, go down, and kill all the enemies down here. Walk around the cage to get the Yellow Key. Now go back upstairs and take the staircase to the east and go down. When you get to the bottom, go left, down the stairs to the Yellow Door. Kill all of the enemies in front of you, and when the room is empty, get the Red Key, but watch out when you have a little ambush of enemies. Kill them when they appear, and grab anything you need from this room. Exit the Yellow Door we came from, and get to the other side of the room to the Red Door. Open it, and kill all the enemies, and then go to the other side of the room and enter the little alcove. Destroy the barrels (stay at a safe distance), and hit the switch. Go back out the Red Door we came from, and a little Demon Pen has been released. Get the demons out of the way, and collect the Blue Key from the Demon Pen. Go upstairs from this room, and take the staircase across from us. Open the Blue Door, and kill any enemies in this room. When you're done, jump into the slime pit, and take either way to this switch. Activate it, and go right from the switch, and this door should open. Go through it, kill all the Imps, and take the lift up. There may be another Imp there, so watch out, collect the health. Check the wall in front of you, and it should open. Go across the new bridge, get the health in front of you, and exit the level. --------------------- E1M4: Command Control --------------------- At the start, go to the door, but check the wall to the left and it should open. Take the backpack, health, and Shotgun Shells, and go back out to open the door. Kill the enemies to the left, and take the middle entrance. Kill the enemy in here, and hit the switch and a lift should lower. Take it up and go right, and walk up to the doors in this room. They should open by themselves. Go in, kill the Imps, grab the health bonuses and Chaingun, and pick up the Blue Key. If you are locked it, stand on the light the blue key was on, the doors will open. Get out of this room. There are 4 ways out of this room. Look for the entrance that has white lights to the left and right of the opening. When you do, go in and go left. Kill the Shotgun Guys here, and enter the Blue Door. Watch out for Imps and Demons in this maze (try to kill them if they get in your way). To get out, go right until you hit a wall, and go right again into this little small room. Take a left, and go left again, and you're out of this maze. Turn right to get some health, armor, and the Yellow Key. Go up the stairs in this room, and hit the switch next to the Yellow Door.

Leave the room, kill any enemies in your way, going straight. Keep going until you find a staircase to your right, and then climb it. Destroy the 2 barrels and check the wall they were in front of. In this secret room, grab the Shotgun, the ammo, and the health and armor bonuses. Get out and go right onto the new bridge, and follow it to an opening. Kill the enemies, and go forward to get the Health and Yellow Key. Leave this room and jump into the slime pit, go straight, check the brown wall, and it should open. Collect the armor, Rocket Launcher, and ammo, and go into the opening. Go straight, collecting health and ammo, but when you try to pick up the small Shotgun Shells in front of the wall, the wall should open, and get out of this secret room. Back in this familiar room, kill any appearing enemies coming from the door. Now open the door. Kill all enemies here, and when you're done, open the Yellow Door. Take the lift down, and kill any enemies there. Go either left or right, there's no difference, but watch out for the doors that open, containing enemies. When you've reached the other half of the room, jump in the acid, run across it, and hit the switch, and then two pillars with enemies will lower. Kill them, and get back to (and open) the Yellow Door. Run across to the new opening, killing the enemies in your way. At the top of the stairs, turn left and kill the enemies, and grab the health if necessary. Go up another set of stairs killing all of the enemies. In this room is a switch (which is a door), but before you open the door, check the walls to the right of the door until you find a secret area. In this secret area, there's a Chaingun, Health, Backpack, and a Computer Area Map. Now go to the door. Watch out in this semi-dark hall. Follow it, killing the enemies, and at the end of the hall is another room. Kill the enemies, grab anything you need, including the Blue Key. Hit the switch, turn around, go down the stairs, kill any Spectres that should be there, and enter the Blue Door. Be careful in this dark room....actually you don't need to! There are some Light Amplification Visors in here, and I'll show you where they are: |----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |----------------| |--------| | | | |-----------------| |------| X |---------------------| | A | |---| |-------------------| So say you're the X, and the Visors are "A". At the start of the Blue Door, turn left, and looking to the left, look for an alcove. This is an easy to miss alcove, so watch out. So turn left when you see it, and follow the passage to the Visors, along with so other goodies. This does count as a secret too. When you are done with that, get to the northern half of the room, killing all enemies in your way, and open the exit door. Kill the Demons there on skill levels 4 and 5, and then hit the exit switch. ---------------------- E1M6: Computer Station ---------------------- At the start, collect the ammo here, and open the door. Kill all the enemies in your way, and from the door, go left, and follow the hall to a bigger room. Go into the alcove, and take the lift up. Kill all enemies in your way, and follow this ledge into a dark room. Grab the health, kill the enemies here, and take the Yellow Key. Get back out, jump off the ledge, and go straight (not up the stairs) to the Yellow Door. Open the Yellow door, killing any enemies in your way, going straight. At the end, go left, and go all the way straight, and at the stairs, destroy the barrels, and kill the Zombiemen there. Go up the small set of stairs, and kill the Shotgun Guys from the pillar that lowers. There are two passages to take: take the one on the right, and kill the enemies in your way. Go straight until you get to the door, and open it. Kill any enemies that are there, and get the Northwest part of the room, and take the lift. Grab the health if you need to, and when the lift reaches the top, follow this hallway to the Red Key, killing enemies. Once you get the Red Key, backtrack your steps to the lift, and take it down. In this room, avoid the new enemies, running to the door. Run straight out of this room too, and get past the pillar down the stairs, keep going straight, and get back to the Yellow Door. Open it, go left, and take another left up the stairs. Go straight to the other set of stairs, and descend them. At the bottom, go right all the way, then turn left to the Red Door.

Go right until you see the Blue Door, and open it. Kill the enemies in your way, and go up the stairs. In this room, go straight, into another room. Follow its hallway to another room, killing the enemies in your way. In this dark room, hit the switch, and leave this room, going into the room near the Blue Door. On the other side of this room, a door has been opened. Go into the new room, kill any enemies in your way, go through the exit door, and hit the exit switch. -------------------- E1M7: Phobos Anomaly -------------------- You've made it to the final level of episode 1! Anyway, hit the switch at the start, and the wall will lower. From where you are, shoot a barrel and watch many of the Demons die. Kill the leftover ones, and get off the platform you're on, and turn left down the stairs. While going down the stairs, check the walls to your right, and you should find a hidden Soulsphere. Now, enter the door at the bottom. If you need ammo, there is some Shotgun and Chaingun ammo in the rooms to the left and right, but watch out for the Demons there on hard skill levels. Now get out of the room you are in, and get to the other end of the room (from the door). Hit the switch, and take the lift. Walk up forward, and 2 doors will open, both will have 1 Baron of Hell. Here are some tips for beating them: 1. If you have plenty of Rocket Ammo, use it on them, no matter how many rockets you have. 2. Watch out for the Demons on skill levels 4 and 5. Get them out of your way. 3. Run around the room, taking potshots now and then. 4. If you find you are low on ammo, you can lure them to the barrels, and at least damage/kill one. 5. On skill levels 4 and 5, you can have the Demons get in a fight with a Baron to weaken him (the Demon needs to be hit by one first though). 6. The Barons will respawn on skill level 5, so finish them off quickly. Once you've defeated both Barons, at walls will lower. Jump down to the lower ground, and down there is a "building". Hit the switch on it, and the stairs will rise. At the top, take the teleporter, let the enemies kill you inside, and you've beat episode 1! Now, you get a little story: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you beat the big badasses and cleaned out the moon base you're supposed to win, aren't you? Aren't you? Where's your fat reward and ticket home? What the hell is this? It's not supposed to end this way! It stinks like rotten meat, but looks like the lost Deimos base. Looks like you're stuck on The Shores of Hell. The only way out is through. Continue the DOOM experience and play The Shores of Hell and its sequel, Inferno! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ///////////////////////////// Episode 2: The Shores of Hell ///////////////////////////// -------------------- E2M1: Deimos Anomaly -------------------- You start out in an alcove. Get out and go right, skipping the teleporter (but grab the Shotgun that's there on skill levels 1 and 2 next to it though). Kill the Zombiemen in your way, and pass the evil red cross, going right. Kill the Zombiemen here that appear on skill levels 3 and above, and grab the Medikit and Blue Key here. Go through the teleporter we skipped. Kill any enemies in your way, and head straight, on skill levels 3 and above, grab the Shotgun on one of the red triangles, Continue through more of the room, killing any enemies in your way. Cross the red blood pit, and hit the switch on the right wall. A little lump with a switch on each side behind you will rise. Hit the switch on both sides, and go through the last teleporter we visited. From here, go past the red cross again go right, and go through the new teleporter here. In this room, kill all enemies (watch out for the Cacodemon on skill levels 3 and above), and once the room is cleared, grab the Plasma Gun and Cell Pack here. Leave this room, go through the teleporter near the start, and go across the blood pit (don't go to the teleporter yet). To the left of the teleporter is a small opening. Enter it, and in this small hallway, collect the health and Red Key. Exit this secret room, and now go through the teleporter. In this room, go through the small alcove in the left wall, and flip the left switch. Where the switch we flipped is, a secret area will appear (this only happens once), and enter the teleporter in the secret room. Rush through this secret hallway, collecting the armor and health bonuses, and go through the teleporter at the end of the hall. If the secret door closed, hit the switch to open it. Now hit the other switch we didn't flip yet. Leave this small alcove, to find that a platform is lowering. When it does lower, kill the enemies there, and when it is clean, go straight, and enter the Red Door. Kill the enemies inside, and grab all the goodies here, and leave this room, going straight to the Blue Door. Open it, and take the teleporter. Kill the enemies in here, and grab the health in here. Hit the switch in this room, and the stairs will raise in the alcove. Kill the Lost Soul/Cacodemon there (skill level varies), climb the stairs, hit the switch, and exit this alcove. Go through the new teleporter that lowered, and enter it. Walk forward, and the wall in front of you will lower. Watch out for the Cacodemon on skill levels 4 and 5. Kill it, or avoid it, open the exit door, kill the Imp there, and hit the exit switch. -------------- E2M2: Refinery -------------- There is a door to your right. Skip it, and go straight. In this room, go left, and then right, and right again to grab some goodies. Also, there are 2 rooms to enter here. Enter the one on the left, and follow the passage beyond the Blue Door. Kill any enemies in your way, and before you enter the room with all of the moving pillars, check the green walls before the room. Here's the spot you should check: -------------------| --------------|--------------| | < Blue Door | Pilar Room |Secret | |------------| | ---------| |-------| | | | | Another |E |-------|------| | | | Room |n | | | |e |Slime Pit | | |m | | | |i | | | |e |--------------| | |s | ----------------------------------| When you do find the secret, go inside, and flip the switch to your right. Take another right, jump in the slime pit, and cross it to get the Backpack. Get back, go in the pillar room, and cross the them. At the end are some health bonuses and a Medikit. Go left to find a slime pit. Jump in it, and go left. Get into the opening, and turn right. Go in the room across from you, get to the end, and jump in the lava pit. Hurry and go right where there is ground, and at the top, grab the Plasma Gun and some ammo. On hard skill levels, there are Lost Souls there, so watch out. Kill the demons below us, and when you do, jump down. Look behind the pillar for the Blue Key, and then enter the door. Turn right, and at the end of the hall, take a left. Go straight, skipping the first room, into the next one. Kill all the enemies here, and there is an alcove here. Go in for the Megaarmor. Then, search this room for a secret door. If you have trouble finding it, here's a map: |---|-----|---------|----|--------| | | | Enemies | | | | | | | | |-----| | | | | | | | | | | |-----| | | ^ | | Blood Pit | | | | | |------------| |-----| |--| | | |---| | | -- -- -- -- -| |---| | Slime Pit | | | -- -- -- -- -| |---| |------| <-Another room | |Door with Blue Key inside| v | |-------|----| |-------| | | |--| | | | | | | | Check in between the two "|'s "on the right. The wall should raise, and we will be in the room before the pillar room. Instead of going back there again, go straight and follow until you get to the Blue Door. Open it, go in, turn right, kill the enemies, and when the hallway is clear, go through it. Follow it to another room, kill the enemies, and grab the goodies. On the NW part of the room, go into the next room, where you finds a whole bunch of pillars. To make sure you don't get lost, head right, and when you run into a wall, turn left and head to the first right. Go right again to you hit a wall, and then left again until there's an opening. Go into it, kill the demon to the right, jump in the slime pit, head right, follow this passage into a bigger room, hop onto the alcove in here, grab the SoulSphere, enter the exit door, kill the Imps, grab all the ammo, and exit. Or, if you don't have enough health to do this, just cross the pit, follow the passage into a hall, kill the Demons, and enter the exit door. Hit the switch to exit (this takes you to the secret exit ;)) ------------------------- E2M6: Fortress of Mystery ------------------------- If you didn't take the secret exit, skip this and read the next level. Equip the Plasma Gun, and then hold down until you hit a wall. If you grab the Chainsaw, re-equip the Plasma Gun. When the Barons of Hell are on your view, take your Plasma Gun and fire until every last one dies. When the room is empty, go into the other alcoves for weapons and powerups. When you're done, one of the alcoves has a door in it. Enter it, and kill all of the Cacodemons here. If you run out of Plasma Gun ammo, use the Rocket Launcher you got in the other room, and use that to kill them, but watch out: if you are in the blast zone of the rocket, you could get hurt. When you are done, grab the Soulshere in the middle of the room. From where the door was, go to the other side of the room, and search the wall. If it opens, hit the switch inside. A door will open, it get the Blue Key inside. Get out, open the Blue Door for the Red Key. Get out again, open the Red Door for the Yellow Key. Open the Yellow door and jump on the exit teleporter. ---------------- E2M3: Deimos Lab ---------------- At the beginning, you see a flashing light in front of you. Check to wall to the right where it's shining, and a door should open. Go inside to get some goodies, and go back out and take a right into the teleporter. Go straight until you see an opening to you left, and just run straight until you hit a wall. Follow this hallway until you have two ways to take: the right or straight. Go straight, kill the Demons and Imps here, and open the door. Kill the Baron of Hell or Demon, depending on your skill level, and go in the room. To the left is an elevator, and hit the switch, hop on, and when you get to the top, grab the Blue Key, then jump back down and leave. Go straight, take a right, and then go left. Head straight to the Blue Door, look right, and kill the Imps before they start to bug you. Now go inside the Blue Door, and follow the hallway until you see the Yellow Door. Instead, go left, and grab the Yellow Key and watch out if the crushing ceiling above the key gets you. If they're there, kill the Shotgun Guys and grab their ammo, and enter the Yellow Door. Inside, head left, and you'll see stairs. Ignore them, hugging the left wall until you drop down. Search the walls down hear until a door opens, go in and get the Plasma Gun. Equip it, go through the teleporter, and blast the enemies. Go into the alcove, and jump off the ledges, ignoring the switches. When we're at the bottom, head straight and kill the Cacodemon, and go through the teleporter. Go right and kill the Demon, and then jump in the lava pit and go left, get onto the platform, but not the teleporter. Hit the switch, then go into the teleporter. In here, go straight, and then back into the teleporter we were on. Head right, walk slowly on the new platform the exit door, but turn around right when you get there. Another platform has been raised, and use it to get to a Soulsphere. Now go back to the exit door, open it, kill the Imps, and then hit the exit switch. ------------------------- E2M4: Halls of the Damned ------------------------- Go straight into this room, and kill the enemies there. Grab the power-ups, and then open the door here. Kill the Cacodemon on harder skill levels, and flip the switch on the other side of the room. Go back out, into the alcove we came out of at the start, and enter the new opening. Grab the ammo here, and get outside of this room to a wide open one. At the end of here, hit the switch, get on the platform, and grab the Berserk. Now the platform behind us has lowered, but jump in the toxic pit, head straight, and then left into a new opening, and go into the new hallway, grab the health if you need it, hit the switch at the end, get back out, go left onto the platform. Another new opening is here, and go through it. There's a Blue Door, and a Normal Door. Go through the Normal Door, head straight killing the Zombiemen and Shotgun Guys, and then head left at the end. Then take another left to find the Blue Key. A wall behind you will open, and kill the Demon there. Now head right and straight until you see 2 openings that lead into a dark room. In this maze, look around for goodies, watching out for enemies. When you find a door, enter it, and head right. When you get out of this hallway, head left until you see an alcove to the left. Go to it, and go left in here to get the Red Key. Now work your way out of the maze, and when you do, head left, where there are 3 doors. Enter the middle one, and kill all of the enemies in your way. At the end of the hall, turn right and open the door. In here, flip the switch, and the door behind you will open. Follow its hallway into a new room, and when you get there, head right and open the door. You'll find that it has Yellow Lights, so you just locked yourself in here. Get to the other side of the room, and grab the Yellow Key. Now, overrun the enemy across from the Key and escape. New alcoves with enemies have been opened, but these can be easily over-ran. Go back into the long hallway, take the door to your right, and you'll be in the hallway outside the maze. Run back to where the Blue Key was, killing any enemies in your way. Instead of going to where it was, go down the hallway to the left just before it, kill the Demons, and open the door. Now we can open the Blue Door, then the Red Door, and then the Yellow Door. Hit the exit switch in here. -------------------- E2M5: Tower of Babel -------------------- You start in a small room. Flip the switches on the central pillar and stairs will appear. Go up any staircase, and open the door in front of us. On hard skill levels, there will be Lost Souls here. Grab the Rocket Ammo, the Soulshpere, kill all Lost Souls, equip your Rocket Launcher, and go out there and kill the Cyberdemon. Hints: They made it much easier, and had to eliminate the fun and challenge. The Cyberdemon can't see you from a distance. So get as far across from him as you can before he sees you, and just fire rockets until he dies. Even if there's a gunshot and you can't see him, we won't groan and run around, unlike the PC version. If he already saw you, run around the level and take potshots now and then, shooting randomly at him when you two meet up. Don't worry if you die. You will start with the weapons you had in the previous level, with 100% health, and whatever your armor was. Don't use the Plasma Gun. If you fire it at him for too long, the cell projectiles can take up the screen, and since you can't see anything, he might get a cheap hit on you. Once you've destroyed the Cyberdemon, congratulations! Now, you get a little story: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've done it! The hideous cyberdemon lord that ruled the lost Deimos moon base has been slain and now you are triumphant! But...where are you? You clamber to the edge of the moon and look down to see the awful truth. Deimos floats above Hell itself! You've never heard of anyone escaping from Hell, but you'll make them sorry they ever heard of you! Quickly, you rappel down to the surface of Hell. Now, it's on to the final chapter of DOOM! -- Inferno. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ////////////////// Episode 3: Inferno ////////////////// --------------- E3M1: Hell Keep --------------- Hit the switch in front of you at the start. Then, when the platform lowers, go to the door across from you. To the left and right of the door are switches. Hit the one on the left, and the door will open. Go through the door, and turn right. Open the door, and kill the enemies in here. Then from the door, go right and open another door. Follow the hallway to another door, killing any Demons. When you get to the door, open it, and open the door across from you. Kill all the Imps in this room, and the next door is the exit door. Before you open the exit door, check the walls to the left of the exit door until you find the secret. In the secret room, there is a Stimpack, Shotgun Shells, and a Rocket Launcher. Now open the exit door, collect the health and ammo in here, and go through the exit teleporter. ----------------------- E3M2: Slough of Despair ----------------------- At the start, keep to the left hand wall and just keep running along it until you get to the Blue Key. Then turn around, go straight, and when you're out of the alcove, take 2 lefts into another one. Walk up to the wall in front of you. Kill the Lost Souls that were behind the wall (or avoid them), and go into the room they were in. Open the Blue Door in here, hit the switch, turn around, go right, grab the health and ammo, and get to the exit teleporter. ----------------- E3M3: Pandemonium ----------------- On skill levels 4 and 5, there will be a Demon in front of you. Kill it, otherwise get out of your starting alcove, turn left, and then right up the stairs. Kill the Imps in here, hit the switch on the north part of the room, and the pillar behind you will lower, containing the Shotgun. With your back against the last stairway you took, go straight, and then take a right, going up a different set of stairs. Up here, go right, and work your way around over here until you see a pit below you. Jump in it, go straight, down the stairs into a Silver Room. Go right and grab the ammo and the Blue Key. Now head back up the stairs, and hit the switch in this pit. Then the floor you're on will rise (don't jump off). At the top, take a left, and jump back into this familiar room (the room where we got the Shotgun). Now, with your back against the stairs we took to get up here at the start of the level, go straight, and then left up the only staircase we didn't take. Up here, go right again, and then work your way around until you find a pit below you. Jump in it, go straight, and collect the health. No go down the stairs in this ledge, avoiding the opening to the right as you progress. At the bottom is a Invincibility Sphere. Take it, go back all the way up (skip the opening), back into the pit. Now kill the Lost Souls and Shotgun Guys here, and look around the other areas in this pit until you find a BFG (YEAH!!), and a Soulshpere. Now go down the staircase again, and go to the opening we skipped. Then go all the way right, killing any enemies in your way. At the door you'd stop at, turn left up the stairs, and kill the Imps in here. In this room is a gray platform that has a ledge you can step on. It can trigger a secret. Here is a map to show how to open it up: | | X | | <-- Blue Door |---------| | |--|_________|--| | |_______________| | Say the X is you. Get on the small ledge, and walk forward. A wall in front of you should open. Kill any enemies that appear, and grab the goodies behind the wall that just opened (the ledge is the --- part, and you walk up to the ___ part that's shorter, and the other ___ part is another ledge). In this room also is the Blue Door. Open it, and go inside. Kill the Imps in here, and then open the exit door. In here, walk up to the exit teleporter. ------------------- E3M4: House of Pain ------------------- Collect the Rocket Launcher and Rockets in this starting room, and go straight, heading up the stairs. Once you get to the top, just follow the hallway to a door. Open it. Follow this hall to a bigger room, and kill all the enemies in here from where you are. Then, run up to the 3 switches in this room. Hit the one in the middle, and turn around to see a platform rise (it won't if the crushing pillar has lowered into the pit), and collect the Chaingun and goodies. Then, go back and hit the switch on the left, and turn around again and see a platform rise (like I said before, it won't rise if the crushing pillar has lowered into the pit). From the new platform that just raised, collect the Invincibility Sphere and health. No go back and hit the switch on the right. Then enter through the opening to the right of it. Follow this hall to another opening. Go through the opening, and go straight. Go through the next opening, and then go all the way straight in this large room (skip the two large openings to the right), and then there will be another opening to your left. Skip it, and go into the opening we're heading to. Kill the Lost Souls and the Baron that appears in here on skills 3 and up, and get the Blue Key in this opening we're in. Then turn around, get out of this opening, go right, and take another right into the opening we skipped. Get to the other end of the room to the Blue Door. Open it. Kill the Imps in this room, and go straight, opening the door (across from the Blue Door, not to the left, the wall across from the Blue Door is a door). Then take a left, and in this room is a blue square. Step on it a few times, and a door should open that we can't open on our own. When the door is open, run through it, and go right. Follow this hall to another room, turn right, kill the Imps in here, and run to the pillars that have switches. Go to the pillar on the left, and hit the switch on the west side of the pillar. Turn around, go right until you bump into a wall, and turn right again. Go through the opening we just opened, and get the Yellow Key. Now go back, and hit the west switch on the right pillar. Now go straight, and left until you hit a wall, and go right, into another opening we just opened. Now open the Yellow Door, and get the Red Key. Now return to the pillars, and hit the south switch on the right pillar. Now go right, take a left, and then right into this opening. Open the Red Door in this room. Go left, until you hit a wall. Turn to your right and kill the Lost Soul. Check the wall he was guarding, and it should open. Grab the Radiation Suit, turn around, run straight through the lava pit, grabbing the health if you need to. Then, run into the pit. Open the door down here. Follow the hall to the exit door, and then go through the exit teleporter. ---------------- E3M5: Mt. Erebus ---------------- You need to be quick with my instructions on this level. At the start, go left, and cross the lava pit, and stop when you get top another platform. From where you are, look around for a staircase. Climb it, and when you get to the top, jump off to the floor in front of you. Kill the enemies here, and on this platform, collect the weapons, and the Invincibility Sphere. Once you have it, facing the platform (from the stairs), go right, cross the pit, and get in front of the green skull wall. Once you're touching it, go left, into the lava pit, and drop down into the pit in front of you. Down here, take the only teleporter. When you teleport, open the door in front of you, and kill the Zombiemen, Imps, and Shotgun Guys in front of you. From the door, check all the walls to the left until one opens (the secret wall has a tiny candle in front of it). Inside the secret alcove, go through the teleporter. When you get teleported you here, turn around, and when you do, go *slowly* right onto a smaller ledge. Facing the wall, to the right on the smaller ledge, switch to your Automap and make your you (the arrow) has its back to the Blue Box. Now, turn around and face the Blue Box. *Run* straight to get in the box, and in here, hit the exit switch (this takes you to the secret exit ;)). ------------- E3M8: Warrens ------------- Hey, this level is a replica of E3M1! How cheap! Anyway, hit the switch in front of you. When the platform lowers, head straight to the door and hit the switch to the left of it. The door will open. Go through the opening to the right, and open the door. In this room, open the door to the right. Now, open the door at the end of this hallway. In this room, open the door across from us, and kill the Imps inside. The secret to the left of the exit door is still here. Open the secret wall and get the stuff. Now go through the exit door and step on the exit teleporter. Hey! The wall in front of us is lowering! Get to the other end of the room, grab the Blue Key, avoiding the Cyberdemon in here (you don't need to kill it, don't bother). If you can, grab all the new goodies in here, and when you are done, backtrack to the starting room, avoiding any new appearing enemies. In the starting room is a new alcove. Take out your BFG, and go through the alcove. Sooner or later, you'll teleport. When you do, take that BFG and kill the Cacodemons in front of you. If you have enough ammo, use it to kill the Shotgun Guys that will ambush you from both the right and left. From where the Cacodemons were, go left and grab the Red Key. Turn around, go straight, and when you get to where the Cacodemons were, go left, and exit this room back into the starting room. Go to the door, hit the right switch (it is a Red Door, and you may need to hit it a couple of times), and go inside, through the exit teleporter. ----------- E3M6: Limbo ----------- At the start, go straight, into a bigger room. On the western part of the room is an opening. Go through it. Then, go left, and right. Follow this hallway to a blood pit. Pass it. After you pass the blood pit, there will be an alcove to your right. Go in and hit the switch. Turn back around and head right, and then get the Blue Key. Kill any Demons that come towards you. Now, backtrack your way out of this maze, to the big "O" room. Cross this room (or take the platform to get around safely), and go in the opening across from the one we just came out of (avoid any new enemies). In this room, there are 2 Blue Doors. Take the one on the left. Go through it (pick up the Shotgun Shells next to the Blue Doors). Cross the bridge in front of us, and still head straight. Jump into the small pit, and go straight. Kill the Cacodemon in here, and pick up a Radiation Suit. From the alcove we just came out of, take the opening on the left. In this small hall, go straight, getting into another room. Kill the Shotgun Guy, and go straight into another opening. Now, follow this hall to another opening. Follow it to a teleporter. DO NOT GO THROUGH IT. Before it is an opening on the left wall. Go through it, and at the end of the opening, turn left into another platform. Kill the Shotgun Guy on this one, collect the Cell Ammo, and pick up the Red Key. Open the Red Door in here, and flip the switch. Now turn around, go straight, and then right. Now go through the teleporter. You will be right near where the Blue Key was. Get out of here again back into the large "O" room. This time, go through the opening to the left. To the leftand right of you, there are 2 pillars. On the northern part on both are small openings that lead to a teleporter (each pillar I tell you to go to will have a small opening leading to a teleporter). Get the the pillar on the left, and take the teleporter. On this platform, hit the switch. Now, take the teleporter back, and go through the teleporter on the eastern part of this room. When you do teleport, get the Yellow Key across from you, and take the teleporter back. Before leaving this room, get on the platform to the left of the opening, and kill the Demon. Grab the health and a Radiation on this platform, and now exit this room. Now go right, and through the opening. This time, go to the large blood pit we passed on the way to the Blue Key. Get to the pillar in this pit, and go through the teleporter inside. When you get to this room, go straight, and turn right and hit the switch. Get out of this room, and back in this huge blood pit, get out of here and go to the "O" room again. Get to the middle, and go through the teleporter inside the pillar. In here, go straight. Open the Yellow Door, collect the Health, and hit the switch. Return to the teleporter. When you get to the "O" room again, go right, into here again. Instead of going left this time, go right, take another right, and then left, into the blood pit. In the blood pit, take the teleporter inside the pillar. In this room, open the Yellow Door, cross the bridge, open the exit door, and go through the exit teleporter. --------- E3M7: Dis --------- Congratulations, you've made it to the final level of episode 3, and this game! Anyway, open the door in front of you. Go straight, and get out of the opening. Go right and kill and kill The Spider Mastermind. Here are some tips: 1. If you have a BFG with at least 120 cells, you can use that to kill her. It will only take 3 blasts. 2. In the center of the room, open the door. Inside is some Armor and a Plasma Gun. 3. You can stay in the center room, and take potshots at the Spider Mastermind every now and then. Once you defeat the Spider Mastermind, congratulations! Now you get a little story: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The loathsome spiderdemon that masterminded the invasion of the moon bases and caused so much death has been beaten for all time. A hidden doorway opens and you enter. You've proven far too tough for Hell to contain, and now Hell at last plays fair -- for you emerge from the door to see the green fields of Earth! Home at last. I wonder what's been happening on Earth while you battled the evil unleashed. It's a good thing that no Hell-spawn could have come through that door with you... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================== 6. Comparisons with PC Doom =========================== Note that these are major differences, not every little change of the game. 1. 5 levels were taken out of the SNES version: Now there are 22 levels in the SNES version, and here are the deleted levels and the ones that hung on: Deleted Levels: E1M6: Central Processing E2M2: Containment Area E2M5: Command Center E2M7: Spawning Vats E3M5: Unholy Cathedral Levels that hung on: Episode 1: Knee Deep in the Dead E1M1: Hangar E1M2: Nuclear Plant E1M3: Toxin Refinery E1M8: Military Base E1M4: Command Control E1M5: Phobos Lab E1M6: Computer Station E1M7: Phobos Anomaly Episode 2: The Shores of Hell E2M1: Deimos Anomaly E2M2: Refinery E2M6: Fortress of Mystery E2M3: Deimos Lab E2M4: Halls of the Damned E2M5: Tower of Babel Episode 3: Inferno E3M1: Hell Keep E3M2: Slough of Despair E3M3: Pandemonium E3M4: House of Pain E3M5: Mt. Erebus E3M8: Warrens E3M6: Limbo E3M7: Dis Note that in Episode 2, the secret level was accessed from Command Center, which was taken out of the game. Now the secret level is in Refinery. 2. Episodes 2 and 3 can't be accessed from a low skill level. Ok, here's how you access the Episodes: If you beat Episode 1 on skill level 1, the game will return to the title screen. If you beat Episode 1 on skill level 2, you will go to episode 2, but beating episode 2 returns to the title screen. On skill level 3, episode 1 or 2 can be picked, and finishing episode 1 will go to episode 2, and episode 2 finished will allow you to go to episode 3. On skill levels 4 and 5, any episode can be picked, and you will go to the next episode if you finish one. 3. No Spectre Demon If you wanted to know, a Spectre is an invisible demon. 4. No Cheat Codes There are no codes in this game, but you can use the game genie for some other codes. 5. Some levels are missing their music Ok, E2M1 now has the E1M9 music instead of its own. Refinery has Containment Area's music instead of its own. Pandemonium has Mt. Erebus's music instead of its own. 6. Sound Effects Are Missing The Rocket Launcher, BFG, and Plasma Gun have their PC sound effects missing now. This includes the sound effects when the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind walk, they're gone too. 7. The Automap is now updated at all times Now you don't have to turn back to the first person view it have it updated, it now can be updated while being viewed. 8. The Rocket Launcher won't push you back if it explodes right in front of you. 9. The Cyberdemon is now easier Come on! Now the Cyberdemon can't see you from a distance in Tower of Babel, and now he's easy! They had to eliminate the fun and challenge, didn't they. :-( 10. Enemies won't respawn in Nightmare Once you kill an enemy in Nightmare, he's dead forever, he won't come back to life. 11. Small enemies won't explode if hit by a Rocket Launcher or BFG No matter how direct the hit is to a Zombieman/Shotgun Guy/Imp from a Rocket Launcher or BFG, their bodies won't explode to blood. 12. No saving You can't save in this version. If you have a lot of time to spare, this function could be useful. 13. When you finish an episode, the Phobos/Deimos/Hell landscapes will be the background, and when the story text is finished, you can press A/B to go to the next episode. Instead of pressing Escape, New Game, and then pick the next episode, you can just press A/B in the SNES Doom to go to the next episode when the story text is done (this is when you finish an episode). Also, the Phobos/Deimos/Hell landscapes as the background too. 14. You can't get a weapon directly. Weapons are cyclic access only, so instead of pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0r 7 to get a weapon, you need to press X until you get the weapon. You can do this while pausing. Here's the order the weapons are accessed from: Fist, Pistol, Shotgun, Chainsaw, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Gun, BFG, and back to Fist. 15. When killed, you don't start with a Pistol with 50 bullets, 100% health, and 0% armor Whenever you get killed and restart the level, you start out with the weapons you had before the level started, 100% health, and whatever your armor was. 16. Before Invincibility, Radiation Suit, or Blur Artifact wears out, no warning is displayed In the PC version, the screen would flash back to normal when one of the above items was about to wear out. It returns to the normal screen without flashing in this version. 17. You mug on the status bar doesn't animate It still moves from left to right and it still has the mug faces for having a certain amount of health, but what I really mean is that the mug won't smile for picking up a new weapon, it won't react to pain, and it won't react if you fire a weapon for too long. 18. Monsters won't fight other monsters In the PC version, when a monster hits another monster (no Imp hitting Imp, Cacodemon on Cacodemon, Baron on Baron, no Spider Mastermind on Spider Mastermind, Cyberdemon on Cyberdemon, Demon on Demon), they may fight. They will not fight in this version, but when an enemy hits another enemy, they can weaken them, including the enemies that won't fight their own kind stated above. 19. Floor textures were deleted In order to get this game on the Super Nintendo, they had to delete floor/wall textures, such as the dead Cacodemons in the starting room of E2M9, Fortress of Mystery in the PC Doom, or the human heads that were sliding on the walls in some levels. 20. All Monsters only display a front side In the SNES Doom, they had to give monsters only a front side due to the memory in the SNES. This means that you can only see the front side of any enemy, and they do a "crabwalk" to get to you. You will never see the back of an enemy, etc. That is the main reason monsters are not able to fight each other, because they'd need to turn in directions in order to fight. 21. When you fire the Plasma Gun, it's missing many projectiles. What I'm saying is when you fire the Plasma Gun in the PC Doom, you could see all the projectiles being fired at once. In the SNES Doom, when you fire the Plasma Gun and hold the fire button down, you'll notice that many of the projectiles are missing. 22. You can't strafe forward. Unlike the PC version of this game, your player cannot strafe forward (hold L or R and go forward). This is kind of annoying, since you can't run and strafe forward at the same time now. 23. No "Green Spark" when you teleport When you teleport in this game, you won't see the green spark in front of you. I think the green spark disappearing is good, since you won't have it in front of you when you try to kill enemies. 24. Even when enemies see you, they still growl every now and then In the PC Doom, enemies would growl when the see you, then they attack. In the SNES version of Doom, they growl multiple times when they attack you 25. When you die, you drop down to the ground faster Once you die in the SNES version, you notice you fall to the floor faster than you did in the PC version. ========== 7. Secrets ========== ----------------------- E1M1: Hangar: 4 Secrets ----------------------- 1. In the room with a zig-zag floor, walk up to the door, but check the walls to the right of it. One should open, so go through. In here get the health and ammo, then follow this hall to an opening, and go through. Out here, get the MegaArmor in the middle of the room. 2. Now go back and open the door, and in here, get to the exit door. Then turn around an go back to the room with the zig zag floor. Remember the platform with the Imp on it? It has lowered. Go inside and get the Medikit, Shotgun, and Shotgun Shells. 3. From Secret 2, get back to the Zig-Zag room. See the light posts at the north part of this room? Get to them. Now, turn around and face the opening that lead to Secret 2. Facing the opening, and with your back in between the light posts, back up. You should then see a wall lower in the Secret 2 room. *RUN* to the lowered wall, get on it, and ride it to the top. Up here is a hallway of Armor Bonuses and a Box of Shotgun Shells, and an opening back to the zig zag room. If the wall/lift raises before you get to it, get back to the light posts, back up a little bit, and the wall/lift will lower again (there is a trapwire you must step on that's between the opening in the light posts). Note: At the start, go to the room to the left. Between the staircase are pillars. On the east part on the right one is a switch. Flip it. Get back into the starting room, and to the right of the windows is a new opening. Go through it, and you'll be in the room with the MegaArmor. This can cut through the whole level almost. This is an Ultimate Doom Only Secret (this "secret" does not affect your secret %). ------------------------------ E1M2: Nuclear Plant: 6 Secrets ------------------------------ 1. At the start, take a right, and then left. See the walls to your left? Check them until a hidden door opens. Go inside and get the goodies in here. 2. In the previous secret room, hit the switch in there. Then get out of that room, and there is a door to your right and left. Take the one on your left. Climb up the first set of stairs, and you'll see an opening next to you. Out here has a Chaingun, Box of Bullets, and a Soulsphere. 3. When you have the Red Key, go through the Red Door, and go in the room to your right. Hit the switch on the pillar in here, and leave this room. Across from you is an opening to a maze. Go inside. In the southeastern part of this maze is part of a wall in between 2 poles. Check it, and it should open, revealing a Backpack. 4. Also in this maze is a room with a flashing light. Shoot the wall where the light is flashing, and go inside. Going in here is a secret. 5. In here, get past the first 2 sets of stairs (don't go up any further). Check the walls after the second set of stairs, and a hidden door should open. Get in this small room (it has Armor Bonuses), and you have another secret. 6. Exit this maze, and go left, heading up the stairs. Cross this bridge, and get to the opening where 3 Medikits are. Before going down the lift, check the walls to the left of it, and part of it should open. Go inside (this has Health and Armor Bonuses), and here's your final secret! ------------------------------- E1M3: Toxin Refinery: 7 Secrets ------------------------------- 1. In the room with the Yellow Key (you climb stairs to get to here), climb the stairs, and you'll hear the sounds of 2 platforms dropping (both are in front of "Computer Walls". At the top of the stairs, go left, then right, and you should see one of the dropped platforms. Get on it, and when it gets as high as it goes, walk up to the "Computer Wall", and it should open. Going in here counts as a secret (there is a Soulsphere in here). 2. From secret 1, go straight, and you'll see the other platform being dropped platforms.
