Find the Yellow Key in Duke Nukem 3D's Demolished Building. Learn how to bypass the Security Checkpoint and defeat Pig Cops.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the demolished building. You can find Pistol Ammo there.
  2. 2
    Locate the Yellow Key. Be aware that a Pig Cop will appear behind you as soon as you see it.
  3. 3
    Turn right to find a Portable Medikit and a manhole.
  4. 4
    You can blow up the manhole, but it leads to a secret area from which you cannot exit until later in the level. You will need to use the Jetpack to ascend the manhole to escape.
  5. 5
    Return to the booth.
  6. 6
    Use the Yellow Key to open the door at the Security Checkpoint.
  7. 7
    Two Pig Cops will be present inside. Use a Pipebomb to defeat them and then take the Shotgun located there.
  8. 8
    Proceed up the ramp.
  9. 9
    Do not go through the archway. Instead, kill the Trooper visible ahead.
Tips
  • Be prepared for a Pig Cop to ambush you immediately after spotting the Yellow Key.
  • The manhole leads to a secret area that requires a Jetpack to exit, so consider if it's worth the detour.
  • Use Pipebombs strategically to deal with multiple enemies like the Pig Cops at the Security Checkpoint.
