DOOM 3 Hints

How can I fix the reactor coolant rod problem that Bravo Team clumsily caused?

  • 1 of 7: After you get through the Power Core Access area and enter Chamber 1 Upper, make your way to Chamber 1 Lower.
  • 2 of 7: You can't get directly there, so you will have to go through Chamber 2.
  • 3 of 7: From where you enter Chamber 1 Upper, go along the catwalk and past the locked hazard doors until you find an unlocked door leading to the Storage Hall.
  • 4 of 7: Go through that to get to the upper part of Chamber 2.
  • 5 of 7: Take the lift down to the lower part of Chamber 2 and then go through the Lower Storage Hall to reach Chamber 1 Lower.
  • 6 of 7: The only other door down there leads to the Reactor Control Room, so enter it and find the command console.
  • 7 of 7: Press the "Replace Rod 2" button to quickly solve the reactor problem and finish the first of your two main objectives for this area.
