Head around the ramp to collect the 3 Nails, then return to the starting position of the room. Behind you is another Window to return to the Fiend corridor.

Furthermore, by using a converter like QVER (which converts Shareware to Registered levels), the player can play this level in the registered version of the game. This means the player could directly play this level in the original shareware version of Quake. Beta3 lacks any support for Deathmatch.Īs Beta3 was made only a few days prior to the initial shareware release, the BSP files are identical to the final product. Unlike the other levels in Beta3, the level is entirely different from the final product, and can be seen more as a placeholder due to the inability to end the level. This level is the precursor to Shub-Niggurath's Pit (Quake). The portal to this map is hidden under Introduction but can only be accessed once the player has completed the four Episodes and obtained all four Runes. Shub-Niggurath's Pit is the final level of Beta3, accessed after the player has beaten all four Episodes.
