The Crypt of Decay is another relatively linear level.
You have to do a great deal of backtracking, however,
returning to previously sealed areas after they have been
opened. This level will introduce you to a new monster,
the death knight. With devastating fireballs and a mighty
sword, this towering paladin of doom is pretty lethal -
both at close range and at a distance. The super nailgun
is a particularly effective means of keeping him at bay.
The entrance to this episode's secret level, Underearth,
is also located on this level.

The maze of underwater
doorways lake will lead you to this red suit of
armor |

Hurl a few grenades at these
zombies to open a passageway to their roost |
If you're having trouble getting
a 100-percent kill ratio on this level (which you can
check by pressing the TAB key), take a little dip before
you exit. The numerous fish in the water will apply
toward your kill count.
Secret Area 1
From the opening bridge, jump into the water. Go through
the tunnel located under the bridge, and follow the
arrows. Take the first right and you'll come upon a set
of steps that lead to red armor and a teleporter. The
teleporter will take you to the sealed door near the
first "T" intersection.
Secret Area 2
Near the gold door, at the second "T"
intersection, you'll see a ledge with two zombies. Aim
your grenade launcher into the air and hurl some
explosives their way. The blast will not only take out
the zombies, but it will open a corridor leading to their
roost, where youll find some rockets.

After you grab the gold key,
you'll have to face these bad boys |

This room houses a shambler,
but it also has this button mounted on the
ceiling. Shooting it will help you find the
secret level |
The Gold Key The
gold key room can be found by taking the right passage
from the second "T" intersection. Taking the
gold key triggers a trap, and the panels on the walls of
the room will open. Several death knights will step from
the shadows and quickly get to work on your puny frame.
To minimize damage, grab the key and run backwards,
giving yourself a bit of a time advantage over the
knights.
Secret Area 3
After defeating the knights, walk back into the gold key
room and enter the alcove on the right. Hit the wall to
open a door, leading to 100 health kits and, if you
explore underwater, yellow armor. Note the underwater
barrier, as it will be mentioned later.
Secret Area 4
After you fight the shambler near the exit, walk into the
room full of boxes. Look up and shoot the button on the
ceiling. Jump up onto the boxes to the open passage, take
the 100 health kit, and push the button. You'll receive
the message "The Underwater Barrier is
Lowered." This will allow you to access the secret
level. You can go there directly from Secret Area 3, but
there is a much more interesting method.

"The Dopefish
lives!" |
Secret Level/Easter Egg Go
to the bridge leading to the exit, just after the hall of
nails. You'll notice a thin ledge running along the
perimeter of the castle. One side contains rockets, the
other a Quad Damage. Jump and grab the rockets, then jump
back to the bridge. Jump from the bridge to the side with
the Quad Damage. Walk along the thin path, and you'll
come to a corridor with some health kits. Drop down into
the water, where you'll receive the message "Welcome
to the Well of Wishes." This area contains a variety
of goodies, as well as a bizarre portrait and the message
"The Dopefish Lives." Swim to the niche to the
left of the portrait, where the wall will open and you
can access the Slipgate to the secret level.
