Your Doom 64 walkthrough for Level 31: In the Void. Learn how to navigate the maze, grab keys, and secure the final Demon Artifact to upgrade your Laser.
Alright, so Level 31, "In the Void," is a bit of a maze, but don't sweat it. We'll get through this together. You start by just falling down, so don't worry about that part. Once you land, you'll see two doors: one red, one normal. Head through the normal one first.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll be in a room with a normal door. Head straight for the bars at the far end, taking out any Spectres you run into. Walk through the bars – yep, you'll just phase through – and you'll teleport.
- 2After teleporting, keep going straight to the next set of bars and walk through them. Another teleport!
- 3This time, hug the left wall. You'll find a room with a Baron of Hell and some Hell Knights. Clear them out, and grab the Red Key sitting in the middle.
- 4Now, you need to backtrack all the way to the very first room where you started the level.
- 5Use that Red Key to open the Red Door and go through.
- 6Head straight through the bars at the other end of this room, and you'll teleport again.
- 7Keep going straight to find the Blue Key. Grab it – and seriously, try to remember exactly where this is, because we'll need it later! You might run into some Mancubi on the way, so deal with them.
- 8With the Blue Key in hand, backtrack *all the way* to the level's starting room again.
- 9Go back through the normal door you used earlier.
- 10Head straight to the teleporter at the far end of this room and step through.
- 11Take the next teleporter you see right after that.
- 12You'll be on a bridge. Follow it to the next opening and go through.
- 13Inside, you'll spot a Demon Artifact on a platform, but you can't reach it yet. Just make a mental note of its location. Hit the switch to your left.
- 14Backtrack to the starting room *again*.
- 15From the starting room, go through the normal door. Head straight through the opening at the other end.
- 16You'll encounter a Hell Knight here; take it down. Then, head up the stairs.
- 17At the top, turn left and go through the opening you see.
- 18You'll find a platform with the Yellow Key, but it's guarded by rising and falling platforms. Wait for them to rise, then carefully cross to grab the Yellow Key.
- 19Once you have the Yellow Key, drop down to the floor below. You'll be back in the starting room.
- 20Go through the normal door again.
- 21Head straight for the teleporter across from you.
- 22After teleporting, follow the right-hand wall until you find a switch. Hit it.
- 23Turn around and walk straight ahead. An earthquake will hit – don't fall into the pit, or you'll end the level prematurely!
- 24Once the earthquake stops, head back to the room where you saw the Demon Artifact earlier.
- 25You'll notice a new pedestal with a switch has appeared near the Demon Artifact platform. Hit this switch. The Artifact will teleport.
- 26Now, remember where we found the Blue Key? Turn around and *RUN* back to that exact spot. You need to be quick!
- 27When you get there, a platform should have risen, leading to an opening. Use it to get up there.
- 28Inside this new area, *RUN* straight to the other end of the room. If you were fast enough, the Demon Artifact will be waiting for you. If not, you might have to go back, hit the switch again, and hurry back.
- 29Grab the Demon Artifact! This is the third and final one, and it'll upgrade your Laser to fire three rounds at once. Pretty sweet! The message you'll get is, "It must do something..."
- 30Another earthquake will happen. Head back to the level's starting point.
- 31Go through the normal door, then take the teleporter at the far end.
- 32Follow the left-hand wall until you reach a gap. Drop down, and you'll exit the level.
Tips
- Don't get too caught up fighting every enemy if you're trying to be fast, especially when backtracking for the final artifact. Spectres and Mancubi can often be dodged.
- The timing for the Yellow Key platforms can be tricky. Be patient and wait for the right moment to cross.
- The biggest challenge here is the backtracking and speed required for the final Demon Artifact. Keep the route memorized and don't hesitate!
