MAP12: Altar of Pain (Doom 64)

MAP12: Altar Of Pain is the twelfth map of Doom 64 and has the secret exit to MAP30: The Lair. In order to find the secret exit you need to find a column with a soul sphere on it (the column is shaped like an arrow towards a wall). If you run into that wall you will end up in a cave with a Baron of Hell and the secret exit switch. The rest of the level consists of breaching a fort and fighting lots of demons along the until you find the actual altar of pain and the exit. The music for this level is the same music as PlayStation Doom's MAP21: Mt. Erebus and MAP36 The Crusher, which features babies crying and a sad music on Doom 64 it has been lowered to make the sound even more scary.

Secrets

 * 1) When the level begins, turn around and enter the cave behind you. You will see a gap in the bottom of one of the walls here. Examine this wall to reveal a secret room and Soul sphere.
 * 2) (Exit to Secret Level 30: The Lair) Once you collect the yellow key, stop and look ahead. In front of you are the switch on the lower level, and a pillar with a Soul sphere. Make a dashing jump off the platform the yellow key was on, over the switch below, and stop on top of the Soul sphere platform. Turn on your automap, and you'll notice that the platform you are on is shaped like an arrow. If you run full speed off the platform in the direction it is pointing, you'll fly through a fake wall in the cliffside and wind up in a cave. After you kill the Baron in here, you will see an exit open up to the secret level.
