Quake END: Shub-Niggurath's Pit Walkthrough (All Secrets)

When the level begins you'll be dropped into water with some fishies. Defeat the fish and don't fry yourself when you pick up the Thunderbolt (don't worry, we've all done this at least once). Once all the fish are gone swim through the available tunnel and surface in the area with a Double-barrelled Shotgun, a bunch of ammo and a Scrag.

Go through the portal and follow the linear path through the hallway picking up all of the guns and ammo as you go. This will get us equipped again since we start with nothing when we begin this level. Once you reach the area with lava and a Shambler, this is when the fun starts.

Defeat the Shambler to open up the wall near you, this will spawn another Shambler. You will now need to fight an onslaught of enemies as you work your way through this area. For Shamblers you should use the Thunderbolt and Super Nailgun and for the Vores you'll want to use your Rocket Launcher.

The enemies will spawn on a timer, so you need to go quick otherwise they will all spawn and you won't be able to reach the Quad Damage in time. I'm not the best at this game but if you'd like to see me play through this mission and what strategy I used, watch my video. There are better examples online if you are playing on Nightmare or Hard. The main thing you're going for initially is the Quad Damage which is found in Secret #1 of this level.

If you kill the monsters fast enough you can get to the Quad Damage before they all spawn. This will allow you to use it on the last few monsters that remain. Once you have taken care of all monsters in this mission you will need to jump into the portal to telefrag the boss. To be more specific...

See that orb that floats around the room? It starts right next to you after you went through the first portal and it flies around the room during the whole "boss fight". This spiky orb thing is actually telling you the destination of the portal at the end of this level.

When this spiky orb thing flies through Shub-Niggurath you will need to jump inside of the portal. This will do what's called telefrag the boss; basically all this means is you kill the boss by teleporting ontop of it. A rather anti-climactic way to end the game but that's all there is to it.

Secret #1

Secret #1: The one and only secret on this map is found by falling down to the slim arch next to the portal (pictured below). This will lead you to a Quad Damage power up as well as another portal that teleports you out of this area.
