PC - Wolfenstein 3D - E2M8 "Aardwolf" Video

gonna keep my old long-winded description here since this level actually deserves it. without further ado...

So, not much to say about the level itself. It's a bit small, and easier than most of the episode - not many mutants.

The reason for this is that much of the level is hidden behind secret doors. Specifically, there is an enormous maze of over 175 secret doors. There are a number of different paths you can take - some lead to treasure & extra lives, some lead to Hans Grosse (yes, the first boss), and then there's the one I show you here...

See, there was actually a contest involving this level. If you find the correct way through this maze, you will reach a sprite saying "CALL APOGEE SAY AARDWOLF." If you followed those directions, you would win a prize!

Nobody ever actually did, though - within days of the game's release, people were writing editors and discovered the sprite while doing so. Additionally, the game itself had a cheat code that allowed you to see the sprite. Obviously, once Apogee learned about this, the contest was off.

So, since there are so many ways through the maze, and you can't take them all, it is impossible to achieve 100% anything in this level. Thus, my approach is to get all kills/treasure/secrets in the "normal" part of the level, find the "Aardwolf" sprite, and then exit the level.

One last note: All of my other videos are made with the Activision re-release of this game, which is v1.4. However, they removed all references to Apogee, including this graphic. So for this particular level, I am running v1.1.

Dr. Schabbs and Hitler knew they couldn't beat B.J. by throwing hordes of Nazis at him, so they built this maze instead to break his sanity.

Hey, it IS possible to achieve 100% kills in that level !!! I got 100% kills, 83% secret and 75% treasure only with a map. To do this, I had to destroy both bosses. I led the first out of the maze and easily killed it and the second I killed with a knife!!! :D Right after opening the door I started snabbing him and his shooting didn't affect me at all (I don't know why). This definitely is my favourite level of the great game WOLFENSTEIN and if you haven't tried it yet, you should do it!!!

I always wanted to see this. I think a Google image search would be quicker though LOL

What's the difference between all the versions (v.1.0, v.1.1, v.1.2, v.1.4)? The only thing I've noticed is that secret walls move 3 squares in version 1.0.

fegel-stein 3d is better

The best ultimate and longest secret mazes on the world to find Aardwolf sign!

Currently on a second run of Wolfenstein. Just as I was ready to celebrate Aardwolf's discovery, pushed a wall nearby to where the "message" was located and got stuck doing so :)) Need to be careful there. Last time I got spanked by Grosse. Wolfenstain is such a great game!

@antudude Yes, it's certainly true. On my own skin I've found out!

would'nt it be awsome if all of those hidden doors led you to the key to open the doos at 1:03
