As with many other levels in Icarus that have "teleporter" or "begin simulation" exits, a [[death slide]] can be performed on this level in the exit hall. Because the only [[rocket launcher]] on this level is [[multiplayer]]-only, you must let a monster kill you to pull it off.

Routes and tricks

As with many other levels in Icarus that have "teleporter" or "begin simulation" exits, a death slide can be performed on this level in the exit hall. Because the only rocket launcher on this level is multiplayer-only, you must let a monster kill you to pull it off. It is possible to lead imps from the final, wooden room through the simulation portal, and let them damage you heavily, before running toward the exit as they throw fireballs at you, making sure one kills you. If done correctly, your corpse will slide under the barrier, and into the teleporter, ending the level.
