Find the Blue Key in Duke Nukem 3D. Includes walkthrough for secrets, ledges, and building interiors.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the entrance, grab Shotgun Shells and a Large Medikit to your left and right. Find Pipebombs at the end of the pipe. Deal with a Pig Cop outside the pipe and find Shotgun Shells near a pole.
  2. 2
    SECRET 1: Blow up the crack on the wall to your right to find a Freezer. This counts as the secret.
  3. 3
    Access a ledge with fans to get an RPG and RPG Ammo. Climb to higher ledges on your left to find Freezer Ammo and a Portable Medikit.
  4. 4
    Jump to a lower ledge where three Pig Cops are located. Use an RPG blast to defeat them and collect two Chaingun Cannon Ammo.
  5. 5
    Follow a curving ledge to find RPG Ammo and Chaingun Cannon Ammo. Fight four Pig Cops on the next ledge and collect two boxes of Shotgun Shells, an RPG Ammo, and two Large Medikits. Be aware of Enforcers attacking from all over the level and a Commander above you.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the street and fight through the Pig Cops. Locate the big screen with a face on it and note the Blue Key door's position. Use an RPG to take out Enforcers on the upper levels.
  7. 7
    Find a low ledge with two Laser Tripbombs and Body Armor. Nearby, there is also RPG Ammo and a Large Medikit. As you move along this ledge, the ground below the movie screen will explode.
  8. 8
    Go down the ramp and defeat the four Pig Cops surrounding a babe. Collect Pipebombs, Shotgun Shells, Pistol Ammo, and a Large Medikit.
  9. 9
    In the building, confront a Captain and a Trooper behind a desk. Open a nearby wall to find Devastator Ammo and a Large Medikit. Behind the desk, find Night Vision Goggles and a Large Medikit. Use the Night Vision Goggles on the dark portion of the wall for a hint to Secret 2.
  10. 10
    Enter the next room where two Enforcers will attack. The Blue Key is in this room, along with Steroids in a medical compartment. Blow up the crack in the wall to continue.
  11. 11
    SECRET 2: Locate a knife on a counter. Search directly beneath it to lower a counter, revealing an Atomic Health.
  12. 12
    Enter the crack in the wall to reach the Elevator Room. You will be attacked by at least four Pig Cops initially, with more arriving. Find a Portable Medikit near the large open elevator and a Devastator inside it. Use the elevator when ready.
  13. 13
    At the Building Top, defeat two Captains and a Trooper. Collect two Devastator Ammo and a Portable Medikit.
  14. 14
    Jump from the building towards the movie screen, landing on a platform with two Atomic Health. Climb the rubble and pick up the Shrink Ray. Eliminate the Trooper in the window and jump inside.
  15. 15
    Defeat a rising Commander. Search the cubicles for a Holoduke, Pistol Ammo, and a Small Medikit. A Shrink Ray Ammo is located behind an Enforcer in a corner near the cubicles.
  16. 16
    Climb the stairs, defeat a Pig Cop, and enter the next room. Fight two Captains and a Mounted Gun.
  17. 17
    SECRET 3: At the entrance of this floor, the picture on the right side of a wall (facing into the room) can be opened to reveal Devastator Ammo.
Tips
  • Using an RPG blast on the Pig Cops on the lower ledge can make collecting the Chaingun Cannon Ammo easier.
  • The Enforcers attacking from all over the level and the Commander above can be dealt with using the RPG.
  • The Night Vision Goggles can help reveal a hidden path for Secret 2.
  • Be careful not to harm the babe when fighting the Pig Cops near the movie screen.
  • The Mounted Gun in the final room can be a significant threat; prioritize taking it out.
