E1M1 is the first map in Wolfenstein 3D, the first map in Shareware Wolfenstein 3D, and the first map in Episode 1: Escape from Castle Wolfenstein. It is perhaps the most recognizable map in all of Wolfenstein's history.
Following this map is E1M2. If the player finds the secret elevator then the following map is E1M10.

The Map for E1M1 is very straight forward. The player starts in a dungeon in front of a dead guard. Leaving the dungeon, depending on difficulty setting, there may be some guards blocking the player's exit into a castle lobby area. From here the player may detour into another dungeon where they may find health items but come face-to-face with more guards and some dogs.
Proceeding further into the castle area, there is a hallway with a suit of armor where the player may find one of their first secret push-walls, revealing a machine gun and some other valuable pickups. Continuing forward the player will find a mess hall area to clear out, followed by some castle chambers which are lightly guarded, and an outer cloister-like area with some small rooms full of pick-ups and a door to a vestibule before the elevator. From within the vestibule the player may find a chain of secrets which ultimately lead to a 1-up and an elevator to E1M10
"Get Them Before They Get You" plays as the track in this level
