Caverns Area 2

Walk around the opposite side of the room (armor shards are on the floor). The lights dim, you hear Betruger cackle, and this Archvile spawns.

You've got to work fast, because two Hell Knights are about to spawn as well. Ready your chainsaw and decimate the Archvile as quickly as you can. You can see the first hell knight has spawned already in this shot.

What you want to do is circle around the lift, herding the two Hell Knights so that both of them are blocked by the lift as seen here. Ready your BFG 9000.

When you've got a clear shot at the front runner, hold your trigger to blast a double load of BFG goodness his way. Reposition yourself and repeat on the second Hell Knight. It is a difficult fight and may take a few reloads but it is doable. Of course this is easier if you have the Soul Cube ready, and more difficult if you are out of BFG ammo, in which case you should use rockets.

Exit through this door with the green lights. The door with red lights, storage room 11, is locked for now.

Follow the cavern to this clearing. Grab the storage room 11 access card from the edge of the table. Also on the table is an adrenaline hypo, armor and a medkit. The scaffolding can be climbed for cells, an ammo belt, rockets, shells and clips. An armor vest is hidden in the rocks to the right of the scaffolding.

Press on through the site and a Hell Knight attacks, surrounded by Trites. Retreat through the tunnel and hit the Knight with rockets. Their splash damage will pop any Trites near the explosion.

This second Hell Knight chased me all the way back to the Levitation Site, where I finished him off with the BFG. Ideally, at this point you want to conserve your BFG ammo for the upcoming boss battles.
