E3M2: Slough of Despair (Doom)

E3M2: Slough of Despair is the second map of Inferno in Doom. As can be seen from the map, its plan is based on a skeletal human hand. The name may be a reference to "the Slough of Despond", from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. It uses the music track "Donna to the Rescue." The par time is 0:45.

Walkthrough
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.

Secrets

 * 1) In the "thumb" is a small lava pit. Walk over it to lower a nearby wall, revealing a chaingun.
 * 2) Below the little and ring fingers is a rock shaped like an arrow if you look at the automap. Open the wall this arrow is pointing to; inside is a plasma rifle and a medikit.
 * 3) At the end of the middle finger is an arrow on the floor pointing to a switch; flip it to get a soul sphere.
