/vr/ - Retro Games

Ok so this bothered me, so I opened e5m9 in slade. Turns out that in order to get the yellow key you need to:
- walk around the wall on the cyberdemon castle
- hit the switch at the end
- walk over the line (screenshot) on the platform the switch is on (!). only this will raise the platform to the yellow key door!
- walk to the yellow door AND TRY TO OPEN IT WITHOUT A KEY (this is so stupid!). this will lower the small walls of the tech pillars (next to the platform that leads to the yellow door) and reveal 2 switches
- press both switches. this will raise the rocks and lower the wall to the yellow key cage
- only then you can pick up the key and enter the yellow door

if this was a secret, it would be fine, but this is mandatory progression. I can understand john made this map the secret map...
