Detailed walkthroughs and item locations for Quake III Arena's Tier 2 maps: The Place of Many Deaths, The Forgotten Place, The Camping Grounds, and The Proving Grounds.

This section covers four maps in Quake III Arena, detailing their layouts, available weapons, health, armor, power-ups, and ammo. Each map has a specific frag limit and a list of potential players.

The Place of Many Deaths

This level features 6 main areas. Upon spawning, players can find Heavy Armor and yellow health behind them. Three paths lead from the initial stairs: right and left paths lead to symmetrical rooms with stairs, culminating in the Rocket Launcher (main area 2). Dropping down leads to the central room with the Quad Damage. Further left and right symmetrical rooms contain shotguns (areas 4 and 5). A large room opposite the initial stairs contains a portal back to the top of the first stairs and the Plasma Gun (area 6).

  • Frag Limit: 20
  • Players: Orbb, Bitterman, Grunt
  • Weapons: 2 Shotgun, 1 Rocket Launcher, 1 Plasma Gun
  • Health and Armor: 5 Health 25, 1 Health 50, 1 Heavy Armor
  • Power-ups: Quad Damage
  • Ammo: 2 boxes bullets, 2 boxes shells, 2 boxes rockets, 2 boxes cells

The Forgotten Place

This level consists of three rooms. One indoor room contains a shotgun and a jump pad. Two large outdoor rooms are connected by walkways. One large room has a Pulse Gun at the bottom and a Grenade Launcher on the walkway. The other large room has a Rocket Launcher on the ground and Heavy Armor on the walkway. The complexity arises from the connecting passageways.

  • Frag Limit: 15

The Camping Grounds

A large arena with multiple rooms, walkways, and stairs. The main battle area is the stairs with armor, and ammo boxes at its base. A jump pad near stairs with four large blue pillars leads to an upper level with Heavy Armor, Mega Health, a personal teleporter, and ammo boxes. From this upper level, players can find the Quad Damage by jumping down to the bottom of the blue stairs and heading towards it, after obtaining the Plasma Gun. The Rocket Launcher is accessible via a jump pad.

  • Frag Limit: 20
  • Players: Orbb, Bitterman, Hossman, Grunt, Daemia

The Proving Grounds

Considered one of Quake III's best levels, it features a teleporter connecting the top and bottom floors. The bottom floor has a Lightning Gun and yellow body armor. Jump pads and the Rocket Launcher are located underneath the main room. Armor shards are plentiful throughout the level, as is ammo for the Shotgun and Rocket Launcher. However, ammo for the Lightning Gun is found far from the weapon itself.

  • Players: Hunter
  • Weapons: 1 Shotgun, 1 Rocket Launcher, 1 Lightning Gun
  • Health and Armor: 3 Health 25, 1 Health 50, 2 Armor, 14 Armor Shards
