DOOM 3 Hints
Is there a way to get past the jammed door in the Hazardous Materials room?
1 of 16: Looking around the room, you should notice a ledge fairly high up on the wall that the door is in. There's a backpack and some cell ammo next to a crawlspace on the ledge.
2 of 16: You need to figure out how to get up there and use that crawlspace to get past the broken door.
3 of 16: Check out the big bin loader gadget in the middle of the room.
4 of 16: There's a control panel at one end of it. Try messing with that.
5 of 16: You'll find that there are two things you can do with it:
1) If the loading platform in front of you is empty, you can press the number of a slot with a bin in it to transfer it to the loading platform.
2) If the loading platform has a bin on it, you can press the number of an empty slot to move the bin to that slot.
6 of 16: NOTE: Even though the bins are numbered, you can move them around to other slots -- putting, for instance, bin 1 into slot 8. The console buttons always refer to slot number, not bin number.
7 of 16: Remember your goal here. Which of those bin slots looks like it's close enough to the high-up ledge that you could jump onto it if you were standing on the bin in that slot?
8 of 16: Slot 6 looks promising. Stick a bin in it and see what you can do.
9 of 16: Ah, but how are you going to get up there? You need to be on the bin in slot 6 before you can jump from it to the ledge.
10 of 16: What if you were to ride the bin up as it went? The crane grabs onto bins' sides, so you wouldn't get crushed if you were on top of one during a loading operation.
11 of 16: After you put a bin on the loading platform and before you press the number 6 on the control panel, jump up onto the box to the right of the panel.
12 of 16: Then press 6 and quickly jump over to the top of the bin.
13 of 16: But wait! Think about the fact that your marine is more than a foot tall, even when crouched.
14 of 16: You need slot 3 to be empty before you ride a bin up to slot 6. (The easiest way to do this is to move the bin from slot 3 to the platform, then ride it to slot 6.)
15 of 16: Once you're standing on a bin in slot 6, it's easy to jump over to the ledge, claim the backpack, and use the crawlway to get to where you can drop down on the other side of the jammed door.
16 of 16: ALTERNATIVES: You could instead ride a bin up to slot 3 and then drop from there down to the ledge. Also, you could do a running jump to the ledge during the loading operation as the bin is being swung around.
