Alien Vendetta MAP01

[Ed the Bat]

Ok, for years now, I've heard many say that Alien Vendetta is an excellent mod. I'm afraid I'm not able to make any judgement, because my friend and I have yet to find a way to complete Map 01. We see an exit sign on a solid brick wall, and nothing we've tried gets us through. I even tried watching gameplay videos for help on this, and the wall just isn't even there when those players get to the end.

Try as I might, I've found no other word on the difficulty I'm having, so I guess I'm the only one. I'm totally at a loss here, and if this mod is as good as they say, I really want to give it a full playthrough...

In the room with the slime pit next to the exit "wall" there are torches. One of the torches is green, press use on it and it opens up the wall to the exit.

I never would have thought of that in a million years. Thank you so much. Now, I am off to tell my friend how stupid he and I are for having been stumped on this for this many years.

I guess the map author was scarred by Hell Beneath.

That one stumped me for a while, too. Probably not the best choice for part of the main level progression.

That trick is even used in Doom II MAP05 for the plasma gun secret.

The mystery of my childhood finally revealed!

Admittedly that same secret has an overwhelming number of triggers, including one of the walls that comes down can also be pushed to drop the platform that lets you get the same plasma gun. The torches don't HAVE to be used for it.

Wait, you can use torches to get to the PG secret in MAP05? That's actually news to me. o_O

The green torches in the Blue Key room.
I feel special for being one of a limited few (apparently?) that knew about this.

Using the wall is more practical: if you use the torches, you have to go through that wall anyway.
