Access the exit in GERYON.WAD (original) (raw)

How to reach the exit in the Master Levels map GERYON:

You begin this level in a dark room at the south edge of the map. Leave this room through the doorway in the west wall, and you'll drop down to the ground below. Turn right and go through the door you'll see there, and enter the long rectangular room ahead. Go forward (north) and up the curving stairway at the far end of the room. At the top of the stairs you'll emerge at the west end of a large, oblong outdoor area. Go east, to the far end, where you'll find a door. Go through the door to enter the south end of a rectangular room. Go to the north end of the room and look in the northwest corner for a curving flight of stairs. Go down the stairs and through the door at the bottom. You'll enter the south end of another room. At the north end is a locked door, and on the east and west walls are large, square panels. Activate the left-hand (west) panel like a switch, and it will open. Step through to enter another room. There are open doorways in both the northwest and southwest corners of this room. Go to the left-hand (southwest) doorway and step down through it, to land in a corrosive stream. Immediately Run along the stream to a platform you'll find nearby. Activate the switch you'll see here, and then Run back the way you came along the stream, to the doorway you just stepped through a moment ago. Activate the switch here to lower a small lift that will let you get back up and through the doorway. Turn right and go to the wall panel you came through a few moments ago. Go through, and you'll find that the other wall panel, on the east side of the room, is now open: Step through that panel to get the blue key. Once you have the blue key, go to the locked door on the north side of the room, and go through. On the north wall of this room are 2 switches. Between the switches is a semi-camouflaged panel. Open this panel and step north into the next room. Go to the middle of the room and you'll see a stairway to the north. The east and west walls of this room will also open, but these wall panels are triggered by switches that are located in the next room to the north. (Remember the location of these panels; in a moment you will need to Run through the west one.) Go north down the stairs into the next room. Turn left (west), and Activate the switch you'll see in an alcove ahead of you. Next to you a lift drops down momentarily: Get on, ride up. At the top, look southeast for a nearby switch. Activate the switch and immediately step left (northeast) out the window, and Run south, up the stairs, and turn right to go through the open panel on the west wall of the room. Follow the short path to the teleporter and step on. You'll appear in a circular chamber at the northeast corner of the map, and you'll be facing north, towards a switch. Activate the switch, and a wide circular column behind you will sink down, revealing a narrower 4-sided pillar in the center of the room. On the south face of the pillar is a switch. Activate it, then go to the teleporter at the south side of the room, and step on. You'll appear at the south end of a large open area at the northwest corner of the map. Go down the steps ahead of you, then go up either one of the curving stairways to the east or west. Follow the stairs up to the platform to the north. At the middle of the platform, turn south and go down the narrow walkway to the switch ahead of you. Activate the switch to open a square chamber behind you to the north. Go north to the newly opened area. Step on the teleporter there to exit this level.

Done!
