After the destruction of the Old One in the original game, the Ranger must return to the land of Quake in order to nullify the newest threat: Armagon.The episode is set in a military complex, and is composed of four levels and a Secret Level: "The Pumping Station", "Storage Facility", "The Lost Mine" and "Research Facility".
This episode shows examples of:
- Cosmetic Award: The 2021 remaster offers the following achievements for this episode:
- Reaching the Secret Level earns you the achievement "Military Complex".
- Completing the episode earns you the achievement "Gateway Traveller".
- Developer's Foresight: “HIP1M4: Research Facility” features an extra super-secret location, not counted in the “Secrets” stat, on the roof of the main building, which can only be accessed through a particularly tricky rocket jump. Once you’re up there, you’re granted a yellow armor and a special message reading, “thought you’d get up here somehow…”
- Guide Dang It!: There's a switch at the top of the second room after entering "HIP1M2: Storage Facility". This switch temporarily opens a door and summons a bridge that leads to a corridor that leads to a teleporter. The intended method of accessing the secret is by firing a proximity grenade on the switch and waiting at the ledge overlooking the force bridge until the grenade automatically detonates.
- Non-Indicative Name: The episode is set across multiple military installations (including an abandoned mine and a research facility), not a single “fortress”, and except for a few zombies in Map 3, the setting has nothing to do with “the dead” in any way.
- Secret Level: "HIP1M5: Military Complex".
- Spoiler Opening: The opening demo of the expansion's Attract Mode takes place in the Secret Level.
