At the request of several people, I've put together the following information as a walk through and informational reference for the shareware version of 3D Realm's Duke Nukem 3D. I wrote this in a relatively short amount of time, so you may find that some areas are not complete. Where possible, I've attempted to include all the secrets of each level (at least those that I know). I've also included some points of interest, as well as some tips and tactics for single play, as well as Dukematch. DISCLAIMER: In no way is this file an "official" FAQ, or in any way related to 3D Realms or Apogee Software. All information contained within this file was obtained through my own experiences with the game. Any similarities to other FAQs, Walkthroughs, or Help files is purely coincidental and unintentional. CONTACT: As stated, some areas of this file are not complete yet. Specifically, all of the secrets for levels 4-6 are not featured (mainly because I haven't been able to find them all yet!). If you are aware of any secrets that are not listed, or you'd like to post some additional tips that you feel would be of interest, you can send an E-mail to: Alex M. 74724,3545 (For CompuServe members) 74724.3545@compuserve.com (Via Internet) You will of course be credited for any contributions that you make.

GENERAL TIPS AND POINTS OF INTEREST ***************************************** - If nothing else, learn to strafe left and right. It will prolong your life. - If low on health, you can destroy a fire hydrant or toilet, and then walk up to the water spout and hold the space bar. Duke will continue drinking the water until his health is eventually restored. - If low on health, using a toilet or urinal will give 10% health. - Try to USE an electrical outlet; the results can be shocking. - From a high point, rather than wasting jetpack fuel by hovering all the way to the bottom, simply drop off the edge and free fall. Just before reaching the ground, hit the 'J' key and it will stop your fall (But be CAREFUL). - If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move, shoot it. And if in doubt, shoot it. - Trash cans, potted plants, cocooned women, and other shootable objects often hide bonuses. Shooting them can prove rewarding. - The dancers will give you a show if you offer them cash. - If you shoot the dancers, enemies will show up to "punish" you. - There are a lot of undocumented secrets in the game. These are "Supersecrets", and you don't receive credit for finding them. However, many of them prove humorous or rewarding to find, so be thorough in your search of each level. DUKEMATCH TIPS ************************************************************** - Learn to use HoloDukes effectively. I've found that they don't tend to fool other players when placed in open areas. Instead, they seem to work best if dropped in areas where a player might be likely to hide. Or, place them in front of a video monitor, as if they are accessing it. - Holding the 'crouch' key while dropping a pipebomb will allow you to roll it rather than throw it. As well as making it easier to more accurately place the bomb, it drops them silently. An added feature of this is that if you hold the 'crouch' key and drop them from a high place, the pipebomb will not make a sound. This can be used to drop them onto unsuspecting players without alerting them. - Lifts and pipebombs can make a great combination. Place a pipebomb on a lift and then wait for the other player to activate the lift. When the lift rises (or lowers, whatever the case may be), detonate the bomb. - You can drop a series of pipebombs without detonating them by hitting the number 6 key after each bomb is dropped. Use this to set up a series of traps. - Unlike Doom/Doom2, the nightvision goggles in Duke work very effectively. In a dark room, your opponent will glow like a candle. - Steroids are an underrated item in Duke. I've found that using the steroids in a Dukematch will make the other player look like he's standing still, and he'll find it almost impossible to hit you. Combined with the nightvision goggles, the other player won't have much of a chance against you (if you can control yourself at that speed, that is). - If another player is under water, you can track him by the bubbles coming to the surface. - If a player is using the periscope in the submarine in level 3, the scope outside the sub will move. - Weapons fire transports. If a player is chasing you, you can jump into a teleporter and then turn and fire back through it. A pipebomb in this case works very well. Just toss it through, let it transport, and then detonate. - Using the Remote Ridicule taunts can help cover up your actions. If you are going to carry out a task that you know will make noise, you can send a remote message with one of the <ALT>+F keys. While the message is being played it will help cover the noise. REMOTE RIDICULE MESSAGES **************************************************** <ALT>+F1: "You're an inspiration for birth control." <ALT>+F2: "You're gonna die for that." <ALT>+F3: "It hurts to be you." <ALT>+F4: "Lucky son of a bitch!" <ALT>+F5: "Hahaha, pay back time!" <ALT>+F6: "What are you, some bottom-feeding, scum-sucking algae-eater?" <ALT>+F7: "Damn, you're ugly!" <ALT>+F8: "Hahaha, wasted!" <ALT>+F9: "You suck!" <ALT>+F10: "AAAGHGHGHGHGGHGHGHGH!"

Get the shotgun. - Use the switch on the right side of the window in the security room to open the curtains to the viewing area. - Break glass to the viewing area and exit the electric chair room. - Look for a discolored wall to the left of the window in the viewing area. It's a secret compartment that holds a HoloDuke. Chapel: - Shoot stain-glass windows. - Throw switch at the foot of the alter to open the secret area behind the cross. - Enter the secret area and retrieve machine gun. - Back in the chapel, position yourself against the wall set between the two entrances. Turn and face the alter. Above the alter you will see a switch. Shoot the switch, and the portion of the floor you are standing on will rise. When it stops, you'll have access to a small, hidden loft area. Get the health powerup that's hidden here. - Before leaving the loft, turn and shoot the hanging monk. Another health powerup will drop to the floor. Cell: - Move the bed, which will reveal a small crawl space. - Get ammo from crawl space. - Check out small tunnel and get more ammo.

You can obtain it by jumping from the low gear. If you then follow this ledge to it's end, there is a compartment hidden in the wall that holds a pair of night vision goggles. Hallway Around Central Control Room: - Shoot yellow tanks, which will open the tunnel to the outer cell room. - Check out showers, get boots/ammo/health. - Get Yellow keycard from secured area. Outer Courtyard: - Get red keycard and ammo from lower floor. - Destroy turrets. - Jump on sloping supports surrounding outer door. From the supports, you can jump up onto the ledges where the turrets are. Collect ammo and weapons from these areas. (Forget about trying to open the door itself...it only opens from the opposite side). - From the ledges where the turrets are located, there is another sloping support along the side wall. Jump on that, and enter the secret room above the door. Collect the health powerups. - There is a destructible wall to your far left as you enter the courtyard from the main facility. It's not really noticeable, but it's located just to the left of the last turret, in the rock portion of the wall. An RPG shot will open a hole in it, revealing a passage that leads into Cell Block 1. Central Control Room: - Enter one of the red keyed doors. - Hit the switch that will rotate the main control room. - Get the machine gun from the pedestal with the floating holographic head on it. - Shoot or hit the switch that rotates the room (make sure that you get back inside the room before it revolves). - Shoot the grate on the back wall and get armor (if you drop down the shaft it will lead back out to beginning hallway). - To either side of the grate in the wall is a small security door. Enter each door, and throw the switch on the wall. You can use the video monitors to verify that you've now lowered the forcefields in the Cell Block. - After lowering the forcefields, open the red door on the other side of the control room. Be careful not to trip the laser bombs. You can successful detonate the lasers by throwing a pipebomb through the field. - Once you've eliminated the lasers, walk through the door and open up the map display at the end of the small catwalk. When you do so, it'll open up a small compartment on either side of the bridge. Jump into these and collect the Health powerup and pipebombs. Cell Block 1: - Blow up the yellow tank (will open hole in floor leading back to outer hallway. - Collect ammo/weapons/health from individual cells. Cell Block 2: - In cell 3 you'll find a poster on the wall. The poster is covering up a hidden passage. Walk though the poster and into the passage beyond. Collect the pipebombs there, and use them to destroy the walls with the cracks in them. This will eventually lead you to the sewer, which will give you access to the submarine area. Submarine Area: - You can now open the door back to the courtyard by throwing the switch set in the support to the right of the door. - Jump on the support, and open the secret compartment above the switch. Get the night vision goggles from the compartment. - Use the 'crouch' key to dive below the waters surface. You'll find some pipebombs under the submarine. - Position yourself under the submarine and use the 'jump' key to rise up into the sub. (Forget about the door in front of the sub, it doesn't open). Inside Submarine: - Set in the rear wall of the sub is a secret door that leads to the engine room. Hidden there is a medkit. - At the front of the sub is a switch that will allow you to access the periscope (video monitor). - End the level by hitting the detonator at the front of the sub. LEVEL 4 - Toxic Dump ******************************************************** Trapped in Submarine: - To exit the submarine, use the following switch combination: O X (X=RED, O=GREEN) O - Once you throw the correct switches, you can exit the sub through the emergency hatch that will open. Outside Submarine: Under water: - There's a small passage off to one side of the sub. One of the walls has a crack in it. RPG or pipebomb the wall to open up the entrance to the area beyond. There you'll find a health powerup and some pipebombs. Above water: - Jump up on the very top of the sub. After doing so, dive back below the surface and enter the submarine again. Once inside, rise to the very top. A compartment should have opened, revealing some bonuses. - Back outside the sub and above the water's surface, you'll find another side passage. Follow this one up to the top where you'll discover an RPG and the blue keycard (watch out for the turrets!) - Once you have the blue keycard, use it to gain entrance to the Nuclear Waste Disposal Unit. Nuclear Waste Disposal Unit: - Inside you'll find a main room with a conveyer belt, and a mechanical arm that drops from the floor and transports barrels of toxic waste. After killing all the enemies inside, stand on the pick up point of the conveyer belt and the arm will come down and grab you by the head. It will then transport you up and across the room to the next conveyer belt. Again, stand at the pick up point and allow the arm to transport you up and across the room again. It will drop you off on the final conveyer belt. - Once the arm has finished transporting you, you'll find a small control room behind a glass wall. Break the glass and enter the room. Get the red keycard from the compartment in the wall. You may also open the access door to the hallway that leads back to the main entrance. - After getting the red keycard, ride the conveyer belt up to the next control room. Again, break the glass and enter the room. You'll find a switch on the far wall that will open the storage tanks, inside of which is a health powerup. Follow the conveyer to it's end and drop back down into the main room. - Use the red keycard to activate the shrink ray in the next room. You'll know that you've been shrunk when your weapon turns into a fist in front of you. Once shrunk, RUN as fast as you can through the small access tunnel to the right of the shrink ray. Follow this passage to the right and into the room beyond. Make sure not to get trapped in the tunnel when the shrink effect wears off, otherwise you'll be killed. - In the next room, you'll find a switch on one wall, as well as another active shrink ray. Throw the switch and then once shrunk again, RUN back out the way you came (Note: Any enemies that get shrunk while you are normal sized may be stepped on. Just walk up to them, and Duke will squish them with his boot!). - Once you get back to the room with the first shrink ray, you'll see that a door has been opened. Go through this door and into the underwater facility below. Underwater Facility: - Underwater, you'll see several spiked mines on chains. If you shoot these from a distance they'll explode. One of these mines will blow up a portion of a wall, exposing a small secret alcove containing a machine gun and some ammo. - Find the small control room with a switch near the window. This switch will raise the water level. Once the water level has been raised, you may float to the surface and access the area above. Above Surface of Water: - You'll find a tall sloping slab of rock. You'll need to run along this slope and jump off the edge to the rocky area on the other side of the water (Note: there is also a small alcove just to the right that you can jump into...it contains some ammo. - Once on the other side, you'll find a small niche with a video monitor and two switches. The first switch will lower the surface of the water again, while the second switch will open a large door under water marked 02. Use the video monitor to verify that you did indeed open it. - Just outside the niche is a wall with a crack in it. You can destroy this wall to open up a passage. You can continue opening up this passage until it reaches the submarine area. - After you've opened up the #02 door under the water, dive back down to the underwater facility. Underwater Facility (revisited): - Enter area beyond the door that you opened. - You'll find another small control room with a switch that will open a set of swinging doors, beyond which is a pair of revolving gears. You'll need to run through these gears. Each gear has a broken tooth indicated by a gray stripe. When the gray stripes are facing each other, that's the time to run through. Using the map overlay can also be useful for navigating this area. - Once through the gears, rise to the surface of the water and follow the stream to the area beyond. - As you're traveling downstream, watch for a crack in a wall on the right hand side. Destroy the wall and there will be a teleporter beyond. This will teleport you to a small secret area. You can then follow the stream to the large waterfall area beyond. Waterfall Area: - At the ground floor of this area is the entrance to a small room. At the top of this room is a switch. When you hit the switch, a panel across the main arena will slide up, revealing yet another switch. - Exit the room and then climb the waterfall adjacent to the second switch. At the top of the waterfall, jump on the ledge opposite the switch, and stand on the platform at the end of the ledge. Now, shoot the switch, and another platform will slide across the room to meet you. You'll have to be quick and RUN/JUMP onto this platform. It will carry you across to the other side of the room, giving you access to the sewer (You may find it helpful to have the CAPLOCK key on while you do this. This will put you in RUN MODE). Sewer: - At the entrance to the sewer is a spinning fan. Shoot the spinning fan to gain access to the ventilation shaft. You can enter the shaft by standing on the ledge to the right and jumping inside (this jump can be a bit tricky, since the current wants to pull you off the ledge). - Follow the sewer downstream. Once you get pulled into the current, keep your eyes open for a wall with a crack in it. It will be on your left hand side as you move down stream. - When you spot the wall, destroy it and you'll gain access to a teleporter. This teleporter is the entrance to the secret sixth level, The Launch Facility. - If you do not wish to go to the sixth level, you may continue downstream until you reach the End-Level detonator, which will end the level and allow you to go on to the final level, The Abyss. LEVEL 5 - The Abyss ********************************************************* Starting Point: - Follow sewer to exit...take right hand walkway around corner till you find a door. Inside the room beyond is a pair of protective boots. You'll need 'em. - Go explore outside canyon area. Outside Canyon Area: - Find blue keycard on rock pedestal. - You'll locate the blue keyed door below and to the side of the sewer exit, in the green slime. - The area is extensive, so search it thoroughly. Blue Keyed Door: - Once you go through the blue keyed door, there is a dark area just inside and to the left. If you have night vision goggles, use them to view the message on the wall, and find the ammo. - Continue down the path until you reach the outside area again. - You'll come to a wide spot in the path before it ends abruptly at a cliff. Back into this wide spot and face the cave opposite the gorge. RUN/JUMP across the gap and into the cave. - Once you reach the safety of the cave, go around the corner and jump back across the gorge to the next ledge (It's the one where the cactus is). - When you've reached the ledge with the cactus, walk to the end where the "San Andreas Fault" sign is. When you walk up to it, you'll trigger an earthquake that will open up the area down below. - Go explore the area below until you find the entrance to the caves. Just make sure not to fall off the ledge and die from the fall. Caves: - The caves are also extensive so search them thoroughly. - If you see a waterfall, try hopping inside. - If you find hand prints on the walls, try switching them on. - You need to find a circular area with a fire burning in the center. Once you find this area, use the hand print switches to open the hidden alcove with the RPG, and the passage into the cave beyond. - Follow the passage until you drop into a much larger circular room. On one wall will be another hand print switch. This switch will build a set of stairs. At the top of these stairs is a cross- shaped window. Make sure to walk right up to the window and look out. By doing so, you'll trigger a small quake that will open up a passage in the large lava area. - At the top of the stairs is also a rock ledge and another hand print switch. Jump up on the ledge and hit the switch. Immediately turn and jump off the stairs and run across the room and jump on the platform that is rising. You need to do this before it gets too high. If you're too late, you'll have to go back up the stairs and reset it. - At the top of the platform is another hand print switch. This switch will activate a shrink ray in the lava area. The shrink ray will come through the cross shaped window and shrink you. When it does, drop off the platform and walk under the wall to your right. This will lead back to the lava area. Lava Area: - Explore the lava area until you find the ledge to the right of the green falls. Climb this ledge and continue upward until you reach a lava stream with a rock pedestal in the center. Jump on the pedestal and hit the hand print in the wall. - The hand print will open up a stream of lava just to your left. Jump up onto the stream and run upward into the passage. At the top, jump the ledge and enter the cave with the Wildwoman. There you can collect several health powerup. - After collecting the powerups, jump back on the stream and follow it all the way to the bottom. At the bottom, you should find an open passage to your right, and stairs leading upward. Take these stairs and follow them all the way up into the caves. - You'll know you're going the right way when you reach a window and can see the spaceship through it. - Continue onward through the passage until you come to the area outside the ship. Ahead of you will be a series of rock columns that you'll need to jump across until you reach the stairs beyond. - If you have the jetpack, you might want to explore this area to find some of the secrets, and check out the outside of the ship. Ship: - After navigating the broken columns and climbing the stairs, you'll finally reach a large steel oval door. Open this and proceed into the alien ship. - When you reach a large black hole in the floor, drop down into it. You'll end up in a circular room. Make sure to explore this area well. It contains some needed supplies. - When you're ready for the final fight, open the last door and enter the arena with the Boss. Final Fight: - I beat the Boss simply by running continuously and firing rockets. Also, I made sure to make effective use of the many medkits lying around, not using them until I was very low on health. Using this strategy I found that he was not that difficult. - There are additional caches of ammo on the raised platform, behind the cocooned women. Shoot them to gain access. - You might want to make sure your CAPLOCK key is on in this area, so that you are in RUN MODE. LEVEL 6 - Launch Facility *************************************************** Starting Point: - You'll find that a forcefield bars your path in the early part of the level. The switch to lower the forcefield is behind the revolving wheel in the toxic waste. You might want to get the protective boots out of the compartment next to the forcefield before you access the switch. Also, there is some armor in a small alcove that will open up in the hallway prior to the forcefield. It will be closed when you first pass it, but if you backtrack you'll find that it has opened up (it also will have released some enemies for you to fight). Circular Room: - After lowering the first forcefield, you'll enter a dimly lit circular room. Walk up the spiraling walkway until you reach a set of four switches. The correct sequence for the switches is as follows: O X O O (X=RED, O=GREEN) - Once you enter the correct sequence, you'll gain access to the small control room at the top of the spiraling walkway. Inside is the blue keycard, and a switch that lowers one of the forcefields in the circular room. - After lowering the next forcefield, follow the passage that it was protecting up to the top of a slope. There are niches on either side that contain pipe bombs. Directly ahead of you in the darkness a health powerup rests on a pedestal. You'll need to give yourself some room, and then run and jump off the slope and onto the platform. - In the room beyond the slope, follow the walkway up to the next room. Part way up you'll find an RPG underneath a spinning fan. The fan can be destroyed with a pipebomb or RPG, and you can jetpack up through the opening to find some pipebombs. - In the room at the top of the walkway, there is a switch that can only be accessed by the blue keycard. This switch will raise the rocket out on the launch pad below. - Go back the way you came and find the room inside the hangar bay that contains the red keycard. A switch near the window will open the hangar doors and allow you access to the launch pad. Launch Pad: - There is a lift located to the left of the rocket. Ride it to the top and find the jetpack next to the video monitor. Use the teleporter to gain access to the inside of the rocket. - Inside of the rocket, use the red keycard on the switch in the wall. - Exit the rocket via the teleporter, then either jetpack down to the bottom of the rocket, or take the lift. - Back on the ground floor, enter the small sunken room to the side of the hangar doors. You'll find a switch there that will destroy the rocket. - There is another lift on the right side of the rocket. After you have destroyed the rocket, use the lift to access the area below. Find the switch there that opens up the entrance to the sewer. - Follow the sewer to the End-Level detonator and end the level. You'll then go on to the final level in the game, The Abyss.
