  
You've successfully passed through the Door of Chthon,
and you've now arrived at its House. Who - or what - is
Chthon? To find out, grab the silver rune at the
entrance.
If you don't want to spoil the ending of this episode,
stop reading now!
Defeating Chthon - Emptying your weapons into Chthon
is futile. Even with the sole power-up found in this
level (a 100 health bonus), you can take only a couple of
hits before you are fried to a crisp. Put your gun away.
Brute force doesn't count here. To beat Chthon, you're
going to have to use your head.

Your final Quake conflict...at
least until the episode |

Step on a switch... |

...to lower an electrode |

Throw the central switch
trigger to fire the electricity |
After Chthon dies, a platform appears over the lava
pit. Walk to its center, jump into the marked shaft, and
step through the teleporter. And what of the other 20
enemies that are supposedly in this level? Watch the
level's ending to see their fate.
Instead of grabbing the rune at
the beginning, it's a good idea to explore the level and
get some practice tripping the switches.
There are no secrets in this
level. Nor are there additional weapons to be found.
It's not necessary to run (the
Shift key) as you move along the upper deck. A brisk walk
will suffice. Unless you actually stop, Chthon isn't
likely to hit you.
