Shows how to open the hidden exit in Doom 64 that leads to level 32, Hectic. Using this exit during a normal game will meet the requirements of the 'RVNH3CT1CD3M0???' Achievement (100G) or Trophy (Gold) in the 2020 re-release of Doom 64. Enable Captions for on-screen notes, and see below for additional information.
Note that using cheats (cheat codes/functions/parameters/console commands) in a game of Doom 64 can prevent Achievements/Trophies from being unlocked during that game. This includes running the game in 'no monsters' mode, as seen here. That mode was used for this video in order to bypass all combat and quickly show how to open the exit.
This hidden exit is on level 1, Staging Area. Opening it requires that the player destroy all of the explosive barrels on this level. They can be destroyed in any order, and with any weapon. NOTE: When the last barrel explodes, this exit opens for a few moments, then closes permanently. For that reason it is strongly recommended to save one of the starting-room barrels for last.
To view a map that shows the location of this hidden exit, and all of the barrels (numbered in the order that they are encountered here), access classicdoom.com/d64secx1.htm
Note that there are 2 teleporters that can be used to get back to the starting area. The one used here is an ordinary multi-use teleporter. The other is a hidden (but not Secret) teleporter that can only be used once. Also, using it during a normal game will cause Sergeants to spawn into the starting area. This hidden teleporter is in the same long hallway where the blue-keyed door is found, and can be revealed by Activating the wall panel directly across from that door. (See youtu.be/KkY9gQsUgsI for a similar video that shows the use of that hidden teleporter.)
