E2M8: Tower of Babel (Doom)

E2M8: Tower of Babel is the final map of The Shores of Hell in Doom. It features a boss battle with the Cyberdemon.

Walkthrough
You start the level in a small octagonal room. Pick up the combat armor here before you do anything else. There is a short pillar in the center of this room with a switch on each of it four sides. Pressing one causes the stairs in front of it to raise. Press all four switches. Walk up any of the four sets of stairs until the wall with the crucified Baron of Hell ahead of you opens, but do not walk through yet. Open the three remaining Baron-walls in this manner as well -- this allows you to re-enter the starting area if you need to. Once they've all been opened, exit to the huge outdoor area. There are a number of Lost Souls outside; you'll want to destroy them so they don't get in your way later. Walk around the building until you find the Cyberdemon -- or he finds you. Use the pillars for protection if you need to. The four rooms inside the main building contain rockets and occasionally soul spheres if you need them. Don't be afraid to waste ammo, because this is the last level of the episode anyway. Once the Cyberdemon dies, the level, and episode, end.
