Crypt'o'Death is a Single Player and Multiplayer level. This level was created with the Shareware release of Quake and took Daniel Rammelt about two hours to create. This was Daniel Rammelt's first level. There are no differences between the Single Player and Deathmatch versions of this map. This level is intended for 16 players or less.
This level has the same geometry as Crypt'o'Death (Dark Hour). Weapon and Ammo placement are nearly identical. Spawn locations are also nearly identical, though this version has two extra spawn locations. Unlike the Dark Hour version of this level, this level has no Enemies but is still intended for Single Player as well as Deathmatch use.
Walkthrough
As soon as you spawn into the level, you will pick up the Nailgun. Collect the Nails to your right, then turn left and go through the doorway. Collect the Nails and enter the next room, then turn left. Proceed forward into the next room. Collect the Rockets to the left and Shells to the right before going through the next doorway. Turn right and proceed into the small room. Collect the Nails in the upper left corner, the Shells in the lower right corner, and the Grenade Launcher in the upper right corner. Ignore the doorway to the left, instead turning around and proceeding back up the corridor you just came down. Collect the Double-Barrelled Shotgun in the room on the opposite side, then proceed up the staircase to the left while ignoring the doorway to the right. Ascend the staircase overlooking a pit of Lava to reach the next room. Collect the Shells to the left and Rockets to the right, then proceed into the next room. This is a balcony overlooking the starting room, collect the Super Nailgun from this platform before returning to the last previously ignored doorway. Proceed down the stairs and turn right at the end. Enter the next room and collect the Rocket Launcher. The doorway straight ahead leads back to the other previously ignored doorway.
