Strategy

Walkthrough

Map of E3M1

You start in front of a closed eye, which is a switch. Press it and the platform you're on will rise, revealing a big outdoor area, a red wall with a door ahead of you, and some imps, ammo and (on I'm Too Young To Die and Hey, Not Too Rough) health. After you have taken down the imps, press the switch to the left of the door to open it.

On Hurt Me Plenty and higher, there are cacodemons on the other side. Kill them and move forward to a fork in the path. Go straight and turn left into a curved bridge with blood on both sides. There is a shotgun here. Run quickly across the bridge through the fake wall before it lowers (and pick up the box of shells on the other side). There may be imps on the other side of the fake wall, which depends on your skill level. When you're done with the imps (if any) go to the right and open the door with the face on it. Then go to the fork and take the other path.

(If you ran too slow or fell off, you'll be in the blood and you'll take damage. In this case, run to the wall at the left and turn left when it ends. Run to the end of the blood and go up the stairs. Then go the other path in the fork.)

Open the door and kill the enemies that you see. Then open the door to the right and go into a narrow hallway with demons. Kill them and open the next door into a room with red vases and a few items. Pick them up and enter the next room, which is filled with imps. Once you are done with them, collect secret #1 and go through the exit door. Collect some health and ammo, then go on the teleporter to exit the level.

Secrets

1. In the room before the exit room, open the hidden door on the left to reveal a rocket launcher, shotgun shells, and a stimpack.
