MAP29: Dust to Dust (Scythe 2)

MAP29: Dust to Dust is the second-to-final level of Erik Alm's Scythe 2. Its music track is "Pestis Cruento" by, taken from .

Essentials
Unlike many other maps of the megawad, the monster count here is only moderate, but it manages to still be very challenging. There is a lot of damaging lava to trek through. The environment is hellish, with a hint of medieval. The music is quiet but sinister and that sets the tone for the atmosphere.

Secrets

 * 1) Run up the stairs at the start and head left. You should see a well. It is possible, although difficult, to run from the slab of red rock to the top of the well to fall in. If you successfully do so, you will get a radiation suit, a super shotgun, and a wall will lower allowing further access to the underground passages. (sector 127)
 * 2) Head up the stairs at the start and take the south opening. You should spot a gibbed carcass here. Lower the wall where this carcass is to get a medikit and a green armor. (sector 226)
 * 3) In the southwesternmost portion of the underground passages where the yellow key is located, you can find a soul sphere. (sector 252)
 * 4) Press the switch inside the tower that requires the red key, then return to the valley south of that tower. There will be an alcove open in the northwest containing a megaarmor and a radiation suit. (sector 620)
 * 5) Enter the teleporter in Secret #6 for a soul sphere. (sector 728)
 * 6) In the lava caverns at the northeast end of the map, exit them to the south and press the switch. Return to the cavern you were just in to find an open passage, where you can get a BFG9000, a radiation suit, a berserk pack, an energy cell pack, and a box of shotgun shells, as well as a teleporter to Secret #5.
