The Research Facility is the final level of Fortress of the Dead. It's mostly indoors and has multiple floors connected by elevators and stairs. Some areas of the base have been infiltrated by monsters from the other dimension. The level's ending is particularly spectacular - it's a huge dimensional gateway which the player has to pass through.

Secrets
| Secrets | ||
|---|---|---|
| (#1) |  |
The room with a Silver Key: go up the ramp, when you reach the top you hear an opening door. Drop down to bottom to see a new opening containing a large box of Nails and Yellow Armor. |
| (#2) |  |
After the Silver Door, up the lift, you reach a room with some terminals. At the other end of the room, one row of terminals has a Button at the side. Press it and two terminals slide open to collect a large box of Nails. |
| (#3) |  |
Facing the Gold Door, turn left and shoot the small blue light. Collect a large box of Nails below it. |
In addition to official secrets, grabbing the armor on top of the roof above the front gate earns the message "Thought you'd get up here somehow..."
In addition to official secrets, from the room with the silver keycard door, head down the ramp then rocket jump into the ceiling near the right wall. A message will display ("Nice rocket-jumping!") and a wall panel will open revealing two energy cells.

Episode Completion
| “ | Deep within the bowels of the Research Facility, you discover the passage that the followers of Quake have used to enter our world. The bastards used some type of gigantic teleporter to overload one of our own slipgates! As long as this portal exists, Earth will never be safe from Quake's cruel minions. If you can find the source of the portal's power, you can shut it down -- possibly forever. With only a moment's consideration for your own safety, you re-enter the dark domain, knowing Hell would be a better fate than experiencing the reign of Quake. | ” |
