E1M4: Steamworks

**Steamworks** is the forth mission of The Foothills, taking place at an underground sewage complex. It introduces the Super Shotgun.

### Main Areas

#### Starting Area

You start in a sewer, immediately alerting a Leatherneck, which will come towards you. Further down, there are two Rats to the right and a Shotgun. To the left is the Weapons#Soap and both Pistols, going down the left path will alert another Leatherneck. Continuing down the right leads you to a room with a Mage and the other Shotgun. After that, you encounter another Mage. Finally, down the path, is a room with a Super Shotgun.

#### Super Shotgun Room

After picking up the Super Shotgun, the walls drop to reveal multiple Mages, as well as a Yellow Key. After this, you will notice that the entrance you came from has changed to reveal a room with three Mages. This opens to a stairwell, with two Mages overlooking it. At the bottom is a Possessed Scarecrow. Finally, flicking a switch opens the door, which has a Rat in it.

#### Fast Fire Totem Arena

This leads to an area with an Assault Rifle and a priceless diamond. In the arena, is two Mages and two Possessed Scarecrows, as well as a ledge with a Fast Fire Totem on it. This ledge leads to a room with multiple Leathernecks as well as multiple Mages. Inside the room, there is a Yellow Key door. If you explored the Super Shotgun room properly, you should have it already. Inside the door is an area below with two Mages, as well as two Leathernecks. There are two Mages on the staircase of this room. Pressing a switch will open a door at the top of the staircase, which reveals a teleporter.

#### Blue Key Room

After taking the teleporter, you are taken to a room with a Blue Key and a switch. Flipping a switch opens two doors, which both lead back to the room with the Yellow Key door. A room to the left has opened up, revealing three Mages. With the Blue Key, we must now backtrack. The place where there used to be a Fast Fire Totem now has two opened compartments, containing Mages and Rats. From there, we go back to the room with a Blue Key door. The Blue Key door opens to reveal two Leathernecks, and Mages guarding a door which is the exit. Interact with the door to exit the mission and enter E1M5: Sawdust.
