DOOM 3 Hints

How can I free the scientist I see from the Reactor Control Room's window?

  • 1 of 6: Well, you are in the control room...
  • 2 of 6: ...so find the control panel.
  • 3 of 6: The scientist says to release the door locks, so try "Open Chamber."
  • 4 of 6: ALTERNATIVE: If you touch "Activate Chamber" instead, the reactor will start up and turn the guy into a bloody skeleton. This is perfectly acceptable in DOOM social circles, so go right ahead if you want to (but you won't be able to get into Reactor Sub Station 1 and collect all its goodies).
  • 5 of 6: To get to where the scientist is (if you didn't toast him), take the Reactor Room Lift to the north down and then go to Reactor Junction 1.
  • 6 of 6: Once you're in Reactor Sub Station 1, don't neglect to use the control panel to open the nearby weapon cases. They're very well-stocked!
