Get the chaingun/backpack in Doom 64 map 14, Eye of the Storm (original) (raw)

Get chaingun/backpack in Doom 64 map 14, Eye of the Storm:

From your starting position at the beginning of the level, look for the 2 stairways that lead up out of the water. The backpack sits on a battlement to the right of the right-hand stairway, the chaingun is on a battlement off to the left of the left-hand stairway.

To get to either battlement, go up the nearby elevator so that you're on the highest level above it. From atop the elevator you can Run (remember your Run or Speed button) to jump to the chaingun/backpack. Note however that you only have a moment to do so before the elevator drops back down again. As such, you may find it easier to back up onto the elevator so that you're already facing toward the object when the elevator reaches its highest point.

An alternative method is to ride the elevator up, then step up onto the nearby wall, and run along the wall to jump to the chaingun/backback. The surest but trickiest way to do this is to Strafe-Run, using a simultaneous combination of Run-forward plus Sidestep. This moves the player character at an odd angle, but is a bit faster than normal running.
