E1M1: Hangar (Doom)

E1M1: Hangar is the first map of Knee-Deep in the Dead in Doom. It was designed by John Romero and uses the music track "At Doom's Gate".

Secrets
There are 3 secrets in this map.


 * 1) Blue armor. In the corridor at the end of the zig-zag room, the wall on the right is miscolored and has a corpse lying next to it. Activate the wall to get access to the courtyard with the blue armor.
 * 2) The shotgun. After having entered the dark room with the exit door, return to the zig-zag room. The platform with the imps has now been lowered, yielding access to a secret room containing a shotgun.
 * 3) Secret passage. After opening #2, go near the entrance of the zig-zag room. As you cross the shadow line, a lift will lower in the shotgun alcove, visible from where you are standing. Run and you'll catch it before it goes up.

As a curious note, all the secret sectors are lined up next to each other.

Routes and tricks
For a straight speedrun, the simplest path through the map is also the fastest one, and there are no tricks. However, the route through the outdoor area is often used in episode runs since this gives a blue armor (which helps surviving E1M3) and a shotgun.
