Mortum's Keep is the fifth and final level of Dominion of Darkness. Most of the level takes place within a castle, yet there are also some outdoor areas and flooded Zombie-infested tunnels. There is a large power generator at the end of the level, which must be shut down by the player, in order to foil the enemy plans.

Walkthrough

The power generator at the end of the level will be somewhat tricky to deal with, as it Lightning Traps will electrocute you if you wander into the open area that it is guarding, which includes the exit out of the level. But it does take a second or so to wind up and send out the electricity, and if you leave its range, it will miss; and this is the key to destroying the generator. After taking out the Shamblers and Ogres in the area, you will have to trigger the generator once (to buy you a little bit of time), leap over the fence while the generator is recharging, push the button on the front of the generator's panel, and leap back over the fence and back out of the danger zone before the next jolt of electricity kills you. Following this, more Shamblers appear, and you have the option of diving into the exit before the Shamblers take you out. On Hard and Nightmare difficulty, you will be low on supplies, so ration them carefully.

Episode Completion

After destroying the power generator, you pass beyond the gate of Mortum's Keep. A wave of nausea suddenly flows over you and you find yourself cast out into a liquid void. You float lifelessly, yet aware, in a lavender sea of energy. After what seems like an eternity, you feel the presence of a diabolical intelligence. You are held helpless for a moment as your mind is open to that of Armagon -- Quake's general and master of this realm. Recognizing you as the one who foiled his attempt to conquer Earth, a hellish howl fills your mind and blots out all consciousness. When you awake, you find yourself on the shores of reality, but in a time and place unknown to you.
