Legacy of Rust Episode 2, Counterfeit Eden: Secret exit
11Shows one path to access the secret exit in Legacy of Rust Episode 2, Counterfeit Eden. Note: This video starts from a point where the player has entered the main building, and a mandatory 30-second delay has elapsed. Enable Captions for on-screen notes, and see below for additional info.
The secret exit can be found in level E2M3/MAP10, Dis Union, and leads to level E2M0/MAP16, Panopticon.
This is a 'no monsters' demo, played keyboard-only at Ultra-Violence Skill. Note that when playing at lower Skill levels there will be an extra teleport pad next to the Invulnerability Sphere, and its destination is the base of the stone stairway that leads up to where the rocket jump is made. At Skill 1 or 2 there is also a Radiation Suit in the room where the red key is found.
At at few places here the player Strafe-Runs to 'jump' across gaps. This is done with a simultaneous combination of Run-forward plus Strafe-sideways. This moves the player character at an odd angle, but at a speed above that of plain forward running.
There are other routes to get through this level. The path shown here can be shortened a little with a Strafe-Running trick or two; or, some extra time could be spent grabbing a Radiation suit before entering the red-key room. Also, if your health is high enough you can survive a rocket jump without being invulnerable, but it's not recommended. ;)
