Walkthrough And Strategy Guide

The Cesspool (E3M2)

 

Ignore the first room and proceed directly to the 2nd one. Right after the entrance, turn right, race up the steps, take the right-hand entrance, and grab the Crossbow. Clean out this water-filled tunnel first, grabbing goodies on the way and throwing a switch. The tunnel takes you back to the courtyard.

     
 

Back in the courtyard, get rid of the annoyance (be it of a flying or of a running type), grab the Yellow Key, then activate your Wings to get the goodies from the top of the columns.

Time to head back to the start room. When you come from the courtyard, turn left and open that Yellow Door. At the first turn, there's a secret room with a couple of items. Proceed down the stairs, and make sure to enter the alcove on the left, among other things there's a Hellstaff in there.

     
 

Ignore the Green Door, rather walk up the steps to the teleporter. Before entering it, prepare your Morph Ovum.

Once on the other side, maneuver around until the Disciples are more or less in one bunch, then fire the egg. If you're a good shot, you won't have to fight any wizards but only chickens...

     
 

Time to grab the Green Key. Be aware that once you walk up to it, a couple of Ophidians will attack you.

If you face the alcove with the Green Key, there'll be a teleport on your right leading back to where you came from and one on your left that you should now enter. It'll teleport you to a room with Ophidian crossfire (thankfully, the animals are caged). You'll also see a Dragon Claw on top of a stairway. Grab it and exit through the hallway.

     
 

You'll see a Green Door on your right. Open it and you'll stand face-to-face with a Disciple. I trust it won't be him standing there after the next 5 seconds...

After the first turn of the corridor, on your far left you'll find a room with a low ceiling, near to it there's a banner on the wall. Push it and you've found a secret with an Ophidian and the Phoenix Rod in it.

     
 

Proceed further down the corridor. There's a wooden door on your left, throw the switch in the room behind it.

Time for some jump'n'run. Once you stand on the ledge where the Map Scroll floats in the air, just push the wall section with the banner and you've found another secret with a Ring of Invulnerability.

     
 

Once you climb the wooden structure with the Green Key on its top, a wall section will raise and an awful lot of Disciples will try to rip out your throat. Just leisurely activate that Ring and anything else you might have, and mow 'em down. If you're fast enough, the effect of your artifacts will hold out until you grab the Blue Key, get back to the Blue Door and smash the Iron Lich. Which means you're free to leave this cesspit of evil (pun intended).
