Walkthrough

 * Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

You start in a room similar to Doom II's "Icon of Sin" level. Make sure you walk all around the room as its darkness may prevent you from seeing the remaining stuff.

The teleporter takes you to a large room. There are dozens of Barons of Hell in the room. There's a large pillar in the middle with ammo and some surrounding pillars have a Soul Sphere and some extra ammo. Additionally, each side of the room has a raised section containing even more ammo, and a teleporter which takes you to the other sides of the room.

After you kill all Barons, two corners of the room will lower, each revealing a Spider Mastermind. Get the attention of one without firing your weapons, then (strafe)run to the other Spider Mastermind and make them infight. If you have a BFG, you can easily kill the remaining one. After both lie dead, a door will open with a hallway that leads to the exit teleporter.

Secrets
There are no official secrets in this level.

Trivia
As this is the last level of the game, this is the only other time the player will come across intermission text spoken by a deep, ominous voice-over. The text itself is completely new, not at all coming from an earlier version of Doom, stating that "by turning the evil of the horrors of Hell in upon itself", the player has destroyed the power of the demons, stopping their invasion cold. The voice-over then claims, sardonically, that the player can "retire to a lifetime of frivolity" and congratulates the player before the cast of monsters begins.
