Inaccessible tunnel in Doom II map 10, Refueling Base (original) (raw)

Inaccessible hole/tunnel in level 10, Refueling Base:

(Note: For a video demonstration of the walkthrough below, click here.)

Background: In a room in the southwest corner of the level, there is a square hole in a wall, near the ceiling. This hole is the one open end of a short T-shaped tunnel. Here's how to get up in there:

Look on your Automap. Dominating the northeast corner of the level is a large, somewhat-squarish room, where the walls are lined with cubbyholes, and each cubbyhole contains a Zombieman or Shotgun guy.

Go to the very southeast corner of this room, and look for a cubbyhole which has one, large UAC logo on the back wall. (This cubbyhole is on the east wall of the room, second one up from the south.) Use your fist, chainsaw, pistol, shotgun or chaingun and attack this wall. (One punch or bullet will suffice.) The wall will rise up, revealing a short, bracket-shaped ("]"-shaped) passage, that leads counter-clockwise up and around to the back of the next cubbyhole up from the south. Walk to the end of this passage and you'll see a wall with two, side-by-side Baron faces. Walk up to this wall and activate it like a switch. It opens up. Now simply walk forward (west) as if to walk back into the main room. As you cross the boundary of the Baron-faced wall, you're teleported to the southwest corner of the level, and you'll be looking out from behind that raised-up hole you saw. From here you can either walk out and drop down into the room ahead, or look left or right for some goodies.
