One Way Trips And Branches

1. Clicking to exit Caverns-Area 2 and transferring to Primary Excavation Site is a one way trip.

Sub Station 3

• Read the Intro: Caverns-Area 2 as the level loads.
• You still have the mission Destroy The Hell Gate.
• Enjoy the elevator ride down.
• Step out and collect 2 Small Health (1-2) on a crate.
• When you go around the corner an Archvile (1) appears and 2 Hellknights (1-2) teleport in. It's a tough battle in a tight place, use your best weapons.
• Collect 3 Armour Shards (1-3) by a door you can't yet access since you don't have the access card - you'll be back later.
• Open the other door out of the room to Main Dig Junction.

Main Dig Junction

• Follow the path as rocks fall and strange animal noises echo.
• Trigger 6 Wraiths (1-6) as you near some crates and mining equipment.
• Find 1 Large Health (1) to the right by a crate.
• Find 2 Small Plasma Cells (1-2) and 5 Armour Shards (4-8) on the floor.
• Keep walking until you come out to Main Excavation.

Main Excavation

• Do a right wall hug at the entrance around to some scaffolding.
• Find 1 Combat Armour (1) down the slope.
• Jump on the scaffolding and drop down to collect 1 Large Plasma Cells (1), 1 Ammo Belt (1), 1 Small Clips (1), 1 Small Rockets (1) and 1 Small Shells (1).
• Climb back up and return to the cave entrance.
• Walk down toward the lights at the bottom.
• You can climb the scaffolding in the corner and find 1 Grenades (1) and 2 Small Health (3-4) on the top ledge.
• Climb onto the lower ledge and jump, duck into a section to collect 6 Armour Shards (9-14) on a crate.
• Approach a table and collect the Storage Room 11 Key.
• Also on the table is 1 Adrenaline (1), 2 Armour Shards (15-16) and 1 Small Health (5).
• Find 1 Armour Shard (17) on the ground.
• Locate your 1st Power Generator. This one is a trap. If you click it then 2 Hellknights (3-4) and 3 Cacodemons (1-3) will attack. You don't seem to get any recompense for the pain.
• Before proceeding into the next section, backtrack to Sub Station 3. You will trigger an Imp (1) and 2 Wraiths (7-8) on the way back - see below.
• Now enter the large doorway in front of you and trigger an Archvile (2) in front and 2 Imps (2-3) behind.
• On the left is your 2nd Power Generator. Click it to light up the dark passage you are about to follow.
• Walk forward into Chamber Junction 1 - see below.

Sub Station 3

• Scan your Storage Room 11 Key and enter Station 3 Storage.

Station 3 Storage

• Find an Emergency Medical Station (1) with 74 Health on the right wall.
• The back left shelves contains 2 Ammo Belts (2-3), 3 Small Shells (2-4), 2 Small Plasma Cells (3-4) and 1 Grenades (2).
• The right back shelf contains 1 BFG Cells (1), 5 Large Clips (1-5), 6 Armour Shards (18-23) and 1 Large Rockets (1).
• Open the door back to Sub Station 3 and kill 12 Trites (1-12) that try to ambush you.
• Return to Main Excavation, along the way you will trigger 5 Trites (13-17) and 1 Cacodemon (4) in Main Dig Junction - see above.

Chamber Junction 1

• Kill 6 Trites (18-23) that attack at the corner.
• Notice the strange writing on the wall.
• To the right on a crate is 1 Machine Gun (1) and 1 Small Clips (2).
• Climb the scaffolding and collect 6 Armour Shards (24-29).
• Go left past a light and around the corner and see 4 stones fall from the ceiling.
• Go down the stairs, beneath the evil growth on the ceiling as more rubble falls.
• Go around to the left and into the Levitation Site.

Levitation Site

• Notice 4 egglike containers in front of you, the front left on is half buried. They seem to be eye candy only.
• Move into the room and 3 Imps (4-6) and 3 Wraiths (9-11) spawn.
• Approach the two makeshift desks on the right.
• The right desk contains the Video Disk (1) titled Tablets. You first heard this video disk back in Site 3: Artifact Research.
• The left desk contains 1 Small Shells (5), 2 Large Clips (6-7) and 1 Combat Armour (2).
• The left desk also has Video Disk (2) titled Ancient Civilization. You should have already collected this video disk back in Site 3.
• Notice the disabled emergency medical station lying on its side. A thick cable extends from it into the the next hallway.
• Head through the next doorway to Chamber Junction 2.

Chamber Junction 2

• Follow the path around into the Room Of The Stars.

Room Of The Stars

• A Hellknight (5) breaks through a wall on a ledge above and jumps down to greet you.
• Then 8 Trites (24-31) appear then 2 Imps (7-8) attack, one from the left ledge and the other from the right.
• Betruger says "Destroy him" and another Hellknight (6) appears.
• On the left side of the room is the 3rd Power Generator. Turning it on enables the Emergency Medical Station (2) with 100 Health back in the Levitation Site.
• Find 2 Armour Shards (30-31) along the left wall, triggering an Imp (9) when you collect them.
• On the right side is an Ammo Belt (4). Nearby is a trigger point for a Hellknight (7).
• Enter the open doorway to Chamber Junction 3.

Chamber Junction 3

• In the hallway notice the Vagary thorned projectile, giving you a warning of what to expect in the next room.
• Enter The Gallery.

The Gallery

• You are attacked by 2 Vagary (1-2) from the other side of the room and 5 Trites (32-36) from the walls.
• I recommend a fully charged BFG blast in the face for one Vagary and a Soul Cube to finish the other. Be quick so they don't have time to hit you with their telekinesis skills.
• Find 1 Small Rockets (2) on the left side of the room.
• Climb the scaffolding for 1 Small Clips (3).
• On the right side of the room find 1 Large Health (2).
• Climb the stairs toward the ornate door.
• Find 1 BFG Cells (2) to the right in the corner.
• Open the next door to Excavation Transfer Lift.

Excavation Transfer Lift

• To the left find a 4th Power Generator, turn it on to light the room.
• Find 1 Large Rockets (2) and 1 Large Plasma Cells (2) near a crate at the back of the room.
• To the right find 3 Machine Guns (2-4).
• If you go back through the level to fetch goodies you will probably trigger 2 Wraiths (12-13) and 1 Imp (10). This should be enough to activate your Soul Cube, perfect preparation for the final level.
• Click to exit Caverns-Area 2 and transfer to Primary Excavation Site.
• This completes the mission Destroy The Hell Gate.
