Ziggurat Vertigo is the 8th and first secret level of the heckin' epic 90's shooter Quake.

Despite it's relative obscurity compared to most known FPS levels, it was one of the first to incorporate low-gravity physics into it's core gameplay thanks to the engine and programming made by tek-fag and potential inventor of the matrix John Carmack.

The low gravity is a blessing and a curse in which it makes it easier to traverse large gaps and heights, but at the same time you fall as slowly as a pebble seeping through a layer of shit which leaves you much more exposed to flying projectiles and hit-scan enemies like the shambler.

The main thing you want to do playing this level is find the rocket launcher and use the invulnerability power ups to kill the shamblers hanging on the higher platforms. Otherwise, most of it is a cake-walk.
