The Edge of Oblivion is a rather unique map, it's basically a balls to the wall combat map with no secrets. When you start this map you will be inside a building, clear it out and collect all of the ammo available then step outside. Unlike previous maps this one is entirely outside floating in a black abyss. If you jump off the edge, you'll fall to your death - so I advise against that.

Our goal for this map is to get the Gold Key and open the door, the exit portal is found inside of there. However, reaching the Gold Key is easier said than done. This map is filled with Vore, Scrag and Shambler enemies which will spawn almost every time you pick up a power up.

For this map there is an ideal route that you should follow throughout, I strongly encourage you watch my video to learn it. This is a fast paced game and it is hard to explain it all through text, but I will try to give you some tips and tricks in text. My first tip is to check behind the building that you spawned in, there is a +100 Health crate hidden back there along with a lot of Shells and Nails.

The second tip I have for you is to use the Rocket Launcher and keep moving! Like I said before, Vores will spawn all over this level and they're typically easiest to take out with the Rocket Launcher. If you're good you can eliminate them from so far away that they won't even shoot back. This mission also provides you with an abundant amount of Rocket Ammo - so don't be shy about using it!

Tip: Shamblers take 30% less damage from Rockets! Use your Nails, or Cells on them instead!

When you're ready to complete the mission you will want to head up to the highest point and jump ontop of the building with the Gold Key. The door that this key opens is on the same platform - just below where you found the key. Be prepared, once you open the Gold Key Door you'll have to deal with more Vores and Shamblers!
