Guide Opening

Embark on a comprehensive walkthrough of Doom II's Hell on Earth and Master Levels for PS4. Discover secrets, strategies, and master every challenge with this expert guide.

Hello and welcome once again everyone, to yet another RJ & BK collaboration guide! Anyone who has seen my resumé of reviews at GameFAQs will have probably seen this coming as well – from one of my favourite classic first-person shooter series, it's a guide for the PS4 downloadable port of _DOOM II_! This game can be downloaded directly from the PlayStation store, and it also comes included within the PS4 compilation games _DOOM Slayers Collection_ and _DOOM: The Classics Collection_.

First developed by id Software, released on PCs in 1994 and given the sub-title of "Hell on Earth", while this game plays almost identically to the original 1993 _DOOM_ game, the addition of plenty of new and quirky enemies, a new workhorse weapon and a mixture of Earth and Hell-based maps that are several times larger and more intricate, not to mention challenging than those of the first game, it still holds its own as a firm favourite amongst shooter fans nearly three entire decades later, which is testament to how precisely-crafted, and well-designed this game really is.

While on vacation over to the United States at the end of 2022, my good buddy Gregory "Bkstunt_31" Wright and I co-authored a complete, all-secrets-revealed guide to the original _DOOM_ game – also ported to the PS4 at the hands of Bethesda, and wasted no time in getting started for the sequel, which we thought only made sense! We aim to cover every level and secret there is available here, and are also going to cover each of the "Master Level" maps, originally released in 1995 as an expansion pack to the original game, and included as standard within the PS4 port. Again, we're not going to dissect everything within the game to the absolute finest detail, but there are plenty of great YouTube channels devoted to covering the various aspects of _DOOM_ ( _II_) including Decino, Coincident, Civvie 11 and (GameFAQs' own) Ledmeister's "Classic _DOOM_", which have also been of great reference to ourselves while we worked on this, and our previous _DOOM_ guide.

Thanks once again everyone for reading, we hope this guide will be of great use to you, and please feel free, as ever, to throw any feedback or useful information our way. Once again, let's rip and tear!

Why hello there! Welcome to Ryan Harrison and Bkstunt's _Doom II_ guide! We started this one shortly after the first _Doom_ guide and, well... this one took forever to actually finish! Mainly because ol' Ryan went back home to the United Kingdom, so we worked on this sporadically for sure. Still, it's always fun to write with ol' Rybear. Anytime you see words like "centre" or "favourite" you can bet who is writing after all! We also randomly chose who got what level, so sometimes you'll get one of us for multiple levels in a row!

As for _Doom II_, I am way less familiar with it in general than Ryan is. I played through the original _Doom_ back in the day and then... just didn't have much interest in _Doom II_. Maybe a quick playthrough of it back in the day, but nothing as close as this guide is, with all secrets (as much as we can... some of them are glitched even on the PS4) and all kills. Going through this project with Ryan has definitely made me a much better old-school _Doom_ player. I also got to see where a lot of _Doom_ (2016) and _Doom Eternal_ got their inspiration from. Also, the Super Shotgun may be the best boomstick in the history of gaming after seeing it in action here!

So with all that said, I'm glad to cover _Doom II_ with ol' Rybear. It was definitely a ton of fun when everything was said and done. As long as I don't ever have to play through "The Chasm" again. So, as Ryan says... Once again, let's rip and tear!
