This level occupies the map slot MAP32. For other maps which occupy this slot, see Category:MAP32.

MAP32: Go 2 It is the super secret level of The Plutonia Experiment. It can be reached from MAP31: Cyberden, and uses the music track "Nobody Told Me About Id" from Doom. This level is a highly modified version of Doom II's MAP01: Entryway.

Go 2 It is described in the intermission screen immediately before it as "the hardest map we had ready for ya". This frightening introduction is due to the unmatched quantity of tough monsters for an IWAD map; an army of 206 enemies, most of which are of the more powerful varieties (scoring a total of 138,820 hit points) will attack the player packed in large groups. Among them, 11 pain elementals, who will generate countless lost souls, and nothing less than 19 arch-viles who can resurrect previously killed monsters, meaning that the final number of monsters can quite easily exceed the starting amount.

However, the player is presented with all the weapons and plenty of ammo in front of them when they start and 9 megaspheres can be found around the map.

StrategyEdit

WalkthroughEdit

Immediately in front of the starting position are every weapon in the game, plus a fair amount of ammo. On your left you’ll see a BFG with some ammo, entering this room will cause the walls to rise revealing a lot of Mancubi, use the BFG to take them all out.

From where you took the BFG, turn left and you’ll see a hole with two Arachnotrons in it and three paths, one that leads to the yard, take the path next to the one that leads to the yard (turn left and when you’re facing the entrance to the yard turn right again). This path will take you to the second floor of the yard where there are a lot of Arachnotrons coupled with a Spider Mastermind.

Go straight forward and push the switch on the corner, which will lower the yellow card and a Megasphere along with the wall behind revealing a lot of Revenants and a Cyberdemon.

Quickly go down to the yard and open the hidden door that’s in front of the stairs next to the hole with stairs, (also there usually a Mancubi here). Here you’ll find two Archviles and a Mancubi. Fight them and then go through the hall with bricks. Once you get to the end of the hall turn right and a Cyberdemon will be there blocking the yellow card door. Kill it and then open the door to find another Cyberdemon and the red card.

Kill the Cyber and take the card, go back to the yard and go down the hole with the stairs (remember, it’s next to the door that leads inside the fortress), in the middle if you turn right you’ll find another stairs, this time going up, go through them and you’ll get to the second floor of the yard again, you’ll see that, now, there is a third floor, go all the way to the corner on the third floor and take the blue card.

Go all way back to the place where you found the yellow door, now, go through the hall in front of the yellow card door and look for the blue card door on the right open it to find a third Cyberdemon blocking, this time, a switch. Kill it and push the switch, now, almost at the end of the hall there’s a path on the right that leads to the Mancubi room from the beginning, only this time the walls are open and a lot of Barons and a Cyberdemon are waiting there.

Go quickly to the blue card door, open it to find a yellow card door and a red card door, once you open all of them you’ll find the exit.

HintsEdit

• Picking up a key, opening a door or moving to an unexplored place always reveals plenty of enemies, who can circle the player and push him into helpless positions, but all these traps can be easily avoided if they are known.
• The player can always engage enemies from spots out of reach to them as long as he knows where to hide; using this strategy a player can also succeed using only the single or double-barrel shotgun.
• It is easy to instigate infighting in the courtyard area, so many potentially dangerous enemies can be distracted long enough for the player to grab the blue and yellow keys.
• Three waves of monsters will infest the west courtyard, but the player can hide in the central room and wait while the enemies kill each other, and can even draw in there a group of pain elementals from the southern room and a group of mancubi from the north-western corridor.
• Demons from the northern chamber and monsters revealed after the blue key is taken can be mixed in the central-western room while the player hides in the central room.
• While Arch-Viles are usually priority targets, on this map they can be used to resurrect weak monsters in order to damage the stronger enemies via monster infighting as much as possible.
• Take advantage of Cyberdemons' power in infighting to thin out the monsters.
• Do not be fooled by the original exit from Doom II's MAP01: Entryway because opening it will release yet more Arch-Viles. On the contrary, this room is plentiful of rockets.

SecretsEdit

1. The outdoor area (analogous to the secret outdoor area of Doom II MAP01: Entryway) counts as a secret.
2. The room containing the red keycard (analogous to the secret room containing a rocket launcher in MAP01: Entryway) counts as a secret.

Similar levelsEdit

Because of Go 2 It's infamy, it has inspired several other maps and map sets:

• Hell Revealed and Hell Revealed II are megawads entirely comprised of extremely difficult monster-filled maps.
• The Plutonia 2 megawad features MAP32: Go 4 It, a map meant as an unoffical sequel.
• "Speed of Doom", which is a pwad of Doom 2, features an insane super secret level that contains 1184 monsters in "Ultra-Violent" or "Nightmare!" skill level.

BugsEdit

Not really a bug, but rather, it's a glitch: if using the port "JDoom", it is possible to go out of the map without the noclip cheat code. Go up the stairs behind the Arachnotrons leading to the upper ledge of the courtyard. If the player uses JDoom and pushes along the wall while going up, they can go out of the map but not very far from it. They can also go back in from the same angle.
