50.1Help needed!!LARVAE::GILBERTLThu Sep 01 1994 12:2010
    Well. I've tried this particular level several times and I still can't
    see how to reach the exit. It sits just beyond a pool of fire, up on a
    pedestal. (Top, left of the map) I presume that either a bridge needs to 
    appear or something.
    
    I've got the Red, Yellow and Blue keys and explored everywhere (I
    think).
    
    Can someone help, please.

Is this the level that has 3 rooms at the top left and the teleporter
takes you into each one (been a while since I played ). If it is you 
need to get into the left hand and right hand rooms and press the
buttons. I think you need the yellow key for the left hand room( i
think the teleporter in the middle of the big swamp takes you there). 
You then use the teleporter at the bottom right to get to the middle
room and finish the level. But then again I might be thinking of the 
wrong level in which case you can ignore this!
50.7Rings a bell.IOSG::CHEWTERTue Sep 06 1994 11:047
    
    That sounds familiar, the three pillars are in the big swamp and I
    think one of them is what raises the bridge.
    
    I'll have a look tonight if I get the chance.

50.8need to get to a switchDAVE::MITTONToken rings happenTue Sep 06 1994 18:076
    one basic rule of Doom: if you see a switch, throw it.
    
    I haven't seen a switch yet that didn't have a desired behavior....
    though there are some that open doors best left closed....;-)

50.9Hit them switches.IOSG::CHEWTERWed Sep 07 1994 05:0818
    
    OK, Did this level again last night, I didn't have any troubles
    finishing it but I think there might have been a switch you missed,
    this is in the south east corner of the map, you need to push the
    switch and then *run* back out of the little passageway it is in, in
    front of you a large wall will have decended and various monsters come
    out, kill them all off, then you have to do the switch and run part
    againt to get into the area behind the wall, in there is another
    switch.
    
    Other that that it's as mentioned previously, just a matter of hitting
    all the switches. The one that raises the final bridge to the exit is
    accessed by using the transporter in the centre of the main map.
    
    If you still have troubles I'll give a more full description.
    
    Cheers,
      -John.
50.10Did it - many thanks!LARVAE::GILBERTLWed Sep 07 1994 08:4111
    YES! Did it. Somehow I did miss a switch and when I went over it again
    more methodically it all worked out. 
    
    Went on and finnished final level (a bit disapointing the last level),
    although the final graphics are good. Bring on Doom2 :-)
    
    Thanks to all who helped me.
    
    regards,
    
    Lawrence.
50.11Did it (at alst)MOEUR2::SMITHFast as a Mamba, Brave as a Lion!Tue Sep 13 1994 08:548
    
    I've now been there and done it, and not noticed anything unusual!  I
    even went on to complete the 'final' mission.  So, specific help I
    cannot give you, but non-specifically I didn't find it difficult to
    complete!
    
    Cheers,
    Ian
