Abstractions

Abstractions is a Single Player and Multiplayer level in Dark Hour. It is the sixth level of a "campaign" created by a chain of levels being linked together. If considered to be a campaign, this level brings back the Shambler. This is a very large level with every conceivable peril. Lava, Elevators, Teleporters, and Water Elevators; the player must watch their step here if they are to survive. This level is lacking a soundtrack.

In Deathmatch, it is intended for 13 players or less. There are no differences between the Single Player and Deathmatch versions of this map.

Walkthrough
Turn right and proceed to the wall to collect the 25 Health and Shells. Turn left and ignore the Elevator straight ahead, instead going towards the corridor to your left. To the far right is a Brown Water Elevator, ignore this for the time being. Beware the walls around here, walls made of Lava can kill you almost instantly. Collect the Shells and four 25 Health near the middle of the corridor. Turn right and go around the Blue Water Elevator to collect the Pentagram of Protection. Return to the previous corridor, cross to the opposite side of the room, and evade the 2 Zombies. Go through the passageway to the right, evading another Zombie and collecting the two 25 Health. Collect the Shells and 25 Health beside the Teleporter to the right, then turn left and proceed up the room. Collect the two 25 Health and Pentagram of Protection about halfway down the room. Collect the Shells to your left between the walls of Lava and 3 Shells to your right beside the Blue Water Elevator. Return to the Elevator and collect the Pentagram of Protection before riding it up.

Turn around at the top and kill the Death Knight across the Water. An alcove to the left could allow you to return to the first floor by usage of that wall of Brown Water Elevator you ignored earlier. Drop into the pool of Water in front of you and turn right while collecting the Rockets. Kill the Death Knight in the alcove to the right. Follow the Water to collect the Yellow Armor, 2 Double-Barrelled Shotguns, Nailgun, Thunderbolt, and Grenade Launcher. At the end, climb out of the Water and go around the Lava. Turn right and press the Button, then go through the Movable Wall that opens beside it. If you walk towards the Movable Wall before you press the Button, you will receive the message "Die Die Die!!!". If you need to return, a Button to your left will reopen the Movable Wall after it closes. Proceed down the corridor to your right and kill the Death Knight at the end. The staircase to your right leads back to the pool of Water. Above you is another pool of Water that is too high to reach, so instead drop into the Blue Water Elevator to descend back to the first floor. Kill the 3 Zombies you previously ignored.

Head to the Blue Water Elevator on the opposite side of this floor and start to ascend. Turn around and collect the Nailgun on a small alcove between the floors. Carefully step onto the small ledge that sticks out of the Blue Water Elevator and jump straight ahead to land on the next floor. Kill the Enforcer. Ignore the Brown Water Elevator to the left for the time being and instead start to ascend the ramp to the right. Be careful not to fall off the ramp into the Lava on either side. Collect the three 25 Health and proceed until you hit a sloped surface that is aimed downwards. A similar sloped platform exists straight ahead, in the middle is a couple of tiny platforms. Kill the Shambler on the opposite platform, then descend to the tiny platforms to collect the Nails and Nailgun. Climb onto the platform that previously held the Shambler. Straight ahead is a Brown Water Elevator that leads back to the Water pool, on that level it was right next to the Brown Water Elevator leading to the first floor. Instead of going into the Brown Water Elevator, turn left and jump to the platform overlooking the area you are at.

Continue forward past the railing, then turn left. Proceed down the corridor to collect 2 Rockets and kill a Death Knight. Turn left at the end and drop off to the corridor below. Collect the Rockets while killing the Zombie and Fiend. Straight ahead is a Blue Water Elevator, this is a higher floor of the one you used to jump to the lower platform. Ignore the Blue Water Elevator temporarily and instead turn left. Proceed down the corridor to collect the Rockets, two 25 Health, and Pentagram of Protection. At the end of the corridor is a Teleporter, ignore this for the time being and instead return to the Blue Water Elevator. Swim up to the top floor and turn left. Kill the Rottweiler straight ahead, then turn left, ignoring the Teleporter straight ahead for the time being. Proceed down the corridor while killing the Rottweiler and Scrag. Ignore the first opening to the right and proceed to the end, then turn right and kill the Rottweiler. Temporarily ignore the opening to the right, instead proceeding straight ahead to a Button. Pressing the Button opens a Movable Wall beside it, revealing a small alcove with a Rocket Launcher overlooking the area with the railing below. Return to the last ignored opening and proceed down to the intersection. To the right is the opening you ignored, while straight ahead is another method to allow access to the Teleporter you ignored. Instead of going towards either, turn left and proceed up the ramp while collecting the Rockets and 25 Health. Kill the Spawn at the intersection at the top. Turn right and proceed down the corridor, then turn right to reach a small balcony. Collect the Rocket Launcher, then return to the intersection and proceed down the opposite corridor. Turn left at the end to reach a small balcony with a Ring of Shadows and 25 Health.

Return to the last ignored Teleporter and go through it. Turn around and start to proceed down the corridor, avoiding the pit of Lava. Temporarily ignore the Button to your left and instead proceed to the end of the corridor to collect the Nails, two 25 Health, Rockets, and Pentagram of Protection. Return to the previously ignored Button and press it to open up a Movable Wall beside it. Go through the Movable Wall to return to the top floor, you will find yourself between the middle and far left separations. Use the Blue Water Elevator to return to the second floor, the one you need to jump from. The Teleporter on the bottom floor leads to the Rocket Launcher platform on the top floor, while the Teleporter on the third floor leads to the Ring of Shadows platform on the top floor. Ride the previously ignored Brown Water Elevator on the second floor to the top. Turn right to collect a Quad Damage on a small platform, then follow the corridor to the left. Turn left at the end and kill the Grunt. Continue to the intersection, then turn left into an alcove. Collect the Rocket Launcher, then return to the intersection and proceed to the opposite side. Collect the Nails at the end, then turn left into a corridor filled with Water. Swim to the opposite end while collecting the 2 Rockets. Turn left and collect the Quad Damage beside the Lava cross. Drop into the gap between the current platform and the Lava cross to land in a Teleporter. Turn left and start to proceed down the corridor to kill an Ogre Marksman. In front of you is a pool of Water, this is that pool that you saw earlier in the ceiling. Go around the pool and go through the exit Teleporter.
