Doom 64: How to get yellow key on level 18
Matt Koster
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to get the yellow key on level 18 (Spawned Fear)?
It's behind a grate in the radiation area but I can't seem to get at it.
It's driving me nuts!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mk..

Okay, go through the red door and hang a hairpin right,
then seach the bookcases on your left to reveal a passage.
Walk up the stairs to a big, open, irregularly shaped area.
There's one ground level switch right around the corner to
the right, activate that to drop a platform, then go run
and get on the platform before it rises again. When you're
at the top you'll find another switch; hit that to drop yet
another platform. Get on that and ride it up. Throw the
switch you'll find there. Now jump and run to the last
lowered platform. When you're at the top you'll see
another switch. Activate this and the ground will shake to
indicate a change in the map. Now jump down and follow the
right-hand wall 'til you come to another ground-level
switch. Activate that to reveal a Soul Sphere. From
there, walk ahead and look for a structure that, on your
map, looks vaguely like a backwards 7 or backwards capital
L, depending on how your map is oriented. On one end of
this will be an open door. The door lets you walk up
stairs and into a little chamber ahead where you see a
switch. Activate the switch and quickly back out and turn
left, and jump down to where a platform is about to rise up
again. Once you make it on there, and the platform rises,
jump ahead and to the right, and you should see a switch
close by in a small cul-de-sac. Activate this switch and
turn around. Nearby you'll see a place you can jump down
into. This place is where a series of tunnels come to an
end, and the tunnels are lined with corrosive slime, so be
careful here... Jump down in here and turn to face down the
corridor. Ahead of you, the tunnels branch off to the left
and right. Two tunnels branch off to the right; take the
left of these 2 right-hand tunnels. This leads into a
short dead-end passage, at the end of which is radiation
shield which you'll need here. Grab it, then walk back
out, hugging the right hand wall. Continue to carefully
follow the right-hand wall around the contours of the level
until you come to some stairs. Walk up the stairs and
follow the path 'til you come to a gap. Getting a running
start (hold down your run button) and jump this gap.
Continue on 'til you come to another gap. You should see
the yellow key ahead of you. Again, back up and get a
running start to run and jump onto the little raised
platform holding the yellow key. You may have to attempt
this jump more than once. Using a combination of
Run-plus-Strafe works well (it makes you run slightly
faster, therefore you can jump slightly farther), but is
very tricky, as it moves the player character at an odd
angle. Anyway, once you have the yellow key, hug the
right-hand wall and run until you come back to your
original starting point (the ceiling overhead will be
open). Look left for a slightly yellow-tinted panel.
Activate this like a switch to drop a lift down. Get on
and ride up. Done!
Hope this helps... I have to run so don't have time at the
moment to edit this into a more sensible description... But
if you need further help let me know and I'll try to make
more sense next time.

I have no idea, you will have to talk with my man Frank Stallone.
