PC - Wolfenstein 3D - E2M8 "Aardwolf" Video

Note: Skip to 4:39 minutes for the long secret maze navigation.

"... So, not much to say about the level itself. It's a bit small, and easier than most of the episode - not many mutants.

The reason for this is that much of the level is hidden behind secret doors. Specifically, there is an enormous maze of over 175 secret doors. There are a number of different paths you can take - some lead to treasure & extra lives, some lead to Hans Grosse (yes, the first boss), and then there's the one I show you here...

See, there was actually a contest involving this level. If you find the correct way through this maze, you will reach a sprite saying "CALL APOGEE SAY AARDWOLF." If you followed those directions, you would win a prize!

Nobody ever actually did, though - within days of the game's release, people were writing editors and discovered the sprite while doing so. Additionally, the game itself had a cheat code that allowed you to see the sprite. Obviously, once Apogee learned about this, the contest was off.

So, since there are so many ways through the maze, and you can't take them all, it is impossible to achieve 100% anything in this level. Thus, my approach is to get all kills/treasure/secrets in the "normal" part of the level, find the "Aardwolf" sprite, and then exit the level.

One last note: All of my other videos are made with the Activision re-release of this game, which is v1.4. However, they removed all references to Apogee, including this graphic. So for this particular level, I am running v1.1..."
