Saw your note. I didn't mention it in my review but I warped to the secret map after I wrote that (I didn't realized there was one until I read other reviews) and I enjoyed it a lot. Forcing the player to swap between the lightning gun and grenades on a map where you're regularly underwater is fun.

I mistyped in one thing I said, the shambler/fiends flood not shambler/vores. If it was just fiends it might have been okay but I had like 4 chains left, picked up the quad, and suddenly had the furry near-hitscan parade running at me.

If you put out an update I'll do another run.
 
- added auto-saves to starts of all levels

Quake always lacked this function. It should be added to ""to do" list in all popular now source ports. It is weird why id decided to remove this in Quake, because it is present in Doom (I/II) before and Quake II after.

A little strategy note/tip:
the quad is an effective way to get rid of chains. And, as you're descending before the fight, you can take out one chain with rockets. Eliminating Chthon is definitely a priority, and the quad is the best way to get rid of the chains. Though, the challenge there is getting rid of shamblers simultaneously - that's why I might suggest saving up cells until the shambler swarm during that quad run.

Also, in general, the GL deals much more DPS than the RL, so it's better to use the GL for the ogres and fiends as you kite them up.

And lastly - very importantly! - take the megahealth ASAP, as it respawns (more quickly/slowly, depending on difficulty). So the sooner you take the megahealth, the sooner it respawns.
 
Really enjoyable, of cause. But in bv3, I can't find a way out of this room after grabbing the gold key (and finding the gilbert secret).

Okay, I'll watch TV a little bit

jump in the lava and turn right. IMO this is easier to find than the secret. I missed the secret at my first attempt.

When you first enter that lower area, you should notice the gold key on a pillar. Once you look at it, it begins to lower into the lava.
