Walkthrough
1. You start in the center of the most southern area. Walk straight up the stairs to enter a wooden room with a switch in the end and two stairs on the sides (close to the switch). The switch lowers the pedistal inside the room with a shotgun on top. 2. Take the right stairs (looking towards the switch) and enter a red bloody roof. Turn right and right and walk forward. Take right again ones you got the option of left and right. You be lowered be a elevator and enter a spacier and pinker corridor. 3. Walk forward. You will see one elevator more, but choose to go down the metallic stairs and you will find the blue key. Go back the same way you came back to the start. 4. This time take the western road and pass a room with green toxic and a room with moving walls. Go up the stairs in the next room and pass it and to a wooden door far away. 5. To the left of the door (looking at it), there is an area with the blue door to the right. Inside there is the exit.

Secrets

 * 1) From the start, hang a right, then turn left into a hall with several lion-faced walls. Between the last two on the right is a dark hidden hallway leading to a secret area.
 * 2) In secret 1, cross the bridge and follow the path to the end. Flip the switch to raise the sunken floor. The next room counts as a secret also.
 * 3) At the end of the lion-faced hall is a circular room where the path splits off in two; follow the left one and drop into the slime pool. Hidden around the right corner is a chaingun.
 * 4) Once you've reached the cement-walled room in the northwest (with two balconies overlooking it, one of which is fenced in), follow the narrow hall next to the fenced-in balcony. Go up the stairs to the left; the balcony itself counts as a secret. A nearby blood/lava pool contains a soul sphere and a BFG9000.
 * 5) In the outdoor area with the blue door at the northern end of the map, there is a raised platform in the center of the room resembling an altar. Walk around to the back and step on the brown floor. A wall across the way and to the right will open up. Inside is a computer area map.
 * 6) Similar to secret 5, but on the opposite side of the entrance to the area. This wall must be opened manually, however.

Bugs
Two energy cells (Things 19 and 20) have no flags set for any of the difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
