A followup/companion video to • Doom II level 19, The Citadel: Escape...
This shows that the impact from a punch or chainsaw blade (in addition to bullets or pellets) can cause the pedestal to rise in the corner of the 'D-shaped room' in PC Doom II level 19, The Citadel.
The room is in the southeast corner of the main citadel building. See https://classicdoom.com/maps/d2maps/19.htm for a map of this level.
Note that a triggering impact can occur anywhere on that specific wall panel, including the section below the red window.
This works in original PC Doom II (v1.9) and in fully-accurate ports of that game.
