Plot outline
- Mission 0: Prologue (console version only):
This series of missions shows what B.J. and Agent One did prior to their capture. While fighting Erwin Rommel's forces in North Africa, B.J. suddenly finds himself assigned to a secret mission in the town of Ras El-Hadid in Egypt. Accompanied by Agent One, he makes his way through the town and infiltrates a secret archaeological dig site where Helga Von Bulow and her SS Paranormal Division are attempting to acquire a pair of ancient magical tablets from a cursed tomb. After fighting his way through both Nazis and undead, B.J. makes it through the tomb but ultimately fails to capture Helga. He and Agent One pursue her in a stolen Ju-52 transport, only to be shot down near Castle Wolfenstein, where they are captured.
- Mission 1: Ominous Rumors:
While investigating the activities of the SS Paranormal Division in Germany, B.J. Blazkowicz and Agent One are captured by the Nazis. Agent One dies while being interrogated by a Nazi torturer, but B.J. manages to kill the soldier guarding his cell and escapes Castle Wolfenstein's dungeons. Armed only with a Luger and a knife, he has to find a way out of the castle, fighting through platoons of guards, and ultimately using a tram car to leave the area and meet up with a member of the German resistance in a nearby village.
- Mission 2: Dark Secret:
The SS Paranormal Division under Oberfuhrer Helga von Bulow has been excavating the catacombs and crypts of an ancient church within the village. Their sloppy precautions have led to the awakening of hordes of undead creatures, including zombies and skeletal Saxon knights. B.J. descends into the crypts where he finds isolated German soldiers fighting the undead for their lives. Blazkowicz himself destroys many of these creatures and eventually arrives at the ancient church which the locals call the "Defiled Church". Nazi scientist, Professor Zemph, is conducting an experiment on the corpse of a Dark Knight. Blazkowicz fights Helga's personal "Elite Guard", made up of female soldiers, and finally encounters a hideous beast which has killed Helga (Zemph was executed for trying to back out on the plot). Notes the player can acquire in the game state clearly that the monster's name is The Olaric, contrary to what many players believe (if players proceed to the mausoleum where the Dagger of Warding was housed, they would find Helga in pieces).
- Mission 3: Weapons of Vengeance:
One of Germany's leading scientific researchers and Head of the SS "Special Projects Division", Wilhelm Strasse, (known as "Deathshead"), has prepared to launch an attack on London using a V-2 rocket fitted with an experimental chemical warhead from his base near Katamarunde in the Baltics. Blazkowicz is parachuted some distance from the missile base and smuggles himself into the base in a supply truck. Inside the base, Blazkowicz destroys the V-2 rocket on its launchpad and fights his way out of the facility towards an airbase filled with experimental jet aircraft. After fighting his way through the airbase, he commandeers a "Kobra" rocket-plane (Based on the Bachem Ba 349 Natter) and flies to safety in Malta.
- Mission 4: Deadly Designs:
Eager to know more about Deathshead and his secret projects, the OSA sends Blazkowicz to the bombed city of Kugelstadt, where he is assisted by members of the German resistance in breaking in to a ruined factory. There he discovers the blueprints for the Reich's latest weapon, an extremely high-tech small arm called a "Venom Gun", capable of inflicting appalling casualties on Allied forces. Blazkowicz eventually breaks into Deathshead's underground research complex, the Secret Weapons Facility (SWF). There he encounters horrific creatures (pictured above), malformed and twisted through surgery and mechanical implants, which were created as test subjects for the Venom gun's firing rate. The creatures had just become self-aware, and were killing all humans in sight. Blazkowicz sees Deathshead escape the SWF by U-Boat, and learns of its destination by interrogating a captured German officer. He is later extracted by unknown means.
- Mission 5: Deathshead's Playground:
Blazkowicz is parachuted into Norway, close to the revealed location of Deathshead's mysterious "X-Labs". After breaking into the X-Labs, he sees several of the twisted creatures (deemed "Lopers") he encountered in Kugelstadt released from their cages and immediately turn on the laboratory's staff. The lopers infiltrate the facility, killing its staff and attacking Blazkowicz. Fighting his way through the facility, Blazkowicz retrieves Deathshead's journals and confronts several prototype Ubersoldaten, towering monstrosities coated in armor, powered by hydraulic legs, and carrying powerful fixed weapons. Finally, he confronts and destroys one of Deathshead's ultimate Ubersoldaten and kills the researchers who had developed it. Deathshead himself escapes in a rocket-plane and Blazkowicz is again extracted by unknown means.
- Mission 6: Return Engagement:
After studying the documents captured by Blazkowicz, the OSA has become aware of a scheme codenamed "Operation: Resurrection", a plan to resurrect the corpse of Heinrich I. Despite the skepticism of senior Allied commanders, the OSA parachutes Blazkowicz into the Harz mountains of Germany, close to Castle Wolfenstein itself. He arrives at the village of Paderborn and, after assassinating several senior officers of the SS Paranormal Division including Major Hochstedder, General Von Stuff, Colonel (Oberst) Strache, General Burkhalter and General Haupman, fights his way into Chateau Schutzstaffel, where he encounters members of the Elite Guard including the main leader General Von Shurber. Blazkowicz then fights his way through the grounds of the chateau, facing opposition from members of the Elite Guard and two of Deathshead's Ubersoldaten. Having destroyed the mechanical soldiers, Blazkowicz enters an excavation site near Castle Wolfenstein.
- Mission 7: Operation Resurrection:
Inside the excavation site, Blazkowicz fights Nazi guards and prototype ubersoldaten, and makes his way to a boarded-up entrance to Castle Wolfenstein's crypts. There, he finds that the castle has become infested by undead creatures, which are attacking the castle's desperate garrison. After fighting his way through the castle, Blazkowicz arrives at the site of a dark ceremony to resurrect Heinrich I. At the ceremony, SS Psychic Marianna Blavatsky conjures up dark spirits, which transform three Ubersoldaten into Dark Knights, Heinrich's lieutenants. She ultimately raises Heinrich I, who "thanks" her by stealing her soul and turning her into his undead slave. In a climactic battle, Blazkowicz destroys the three Dark Knights and Heinrich I as SS chief Heinrich Himmler watches in horror from afar.
