Plasma rifle on Doom II map The Abandoned Mines (original) (raw)

To get the plasma rifle on Doom II map The Abandoned Mines:

When you begin this level you'll first appear in a small raised chamber near the center of the map, and you'll be facing north. From this starting point, turn around and Activate the secret panel in this chamber's south wall.

Step through the new opening and follow the raised walkway until you see an opening in the bars to your right, and another opening to your left. If you look left (east) you'll see a plasma rifle sitting on a tall pillar nearby.

To get it, first turn around on the walkway to face the opposite (west-side) opening. Step through, and you'll drop down into a large, dark, slime-covered room. Immediately turn left (south), and Run onto the teleporter pad you'll see a few steps ahead of you in the slime.

You'll appear on top of another pillar, located just north and east of the pillar where the plasma rifle sits. Turn to face that pillar, and Run to jump to the plasma rifle.

If you have the plasma rifle and you're still on its pillar, simply turn right (west), and Run from the top of the pillar to land back on the raised walkway. Or, if you fall off the plasma-rifle pillar to land in the slime, look left (east) for another teleport pad a few steps away, and Run onto it. You'll then appear on top of another pillar to the south (where a cell pack sits), and you'll be facing an opening in the bars to the north, where you can jump back to the walkway again.
