MAP15: End of the Line (Scythe 2)

MAP15: End of the Line is the fifteenth map of the megawad Scythe 2. It was designed by Erik Alm and uses the music track "Gut Wrencher" by Robert Prince from Duke Nukem 3D. It is the last map of the industrial episode, and there is an entry to the secret map, MAP31: Secret.

Accessing the secret exit
Immediately from the start point, you can see a yellow keycard on a tall pillar some distance to the north. Exit the starting tunnel and make your way to the northwestern corner of the chamber. From there, straferun eastwards and try to land on a stack of crates nearby; do not decelerate, run up the crate stack and you should be having enough momentum to grab the keycard from the pillar. Go through the yellow-keyed door and note the switch panel outside the elevator (not the one in the elevator car). It opens an entrance to the secret level on the surface.

Take note that said switch will not be there if you play through this level in the conventional way as it is lowered by a walkover linedef (3452) located at the entrance of the sewer tunnel that leads to the yellow keycard, behind the revenant (thing 174). It can be operated even after it has been hidden in the floor, however.

Secrets

 * 1) The slimy passageway leading to the secret level. (sector 1202)

Bugs
There is a room in the middle of the map (sectors 290, 297, 320 make up the main part) with a super shotgun on a pillar. This room can be reached by a door not far from the starting point. When approached from that side, the door opens and stays open. However, the room is also reachable by jumping down from sector 682. If you take the latter course without first opening the door, you will become trapped, as the door does not open from the inside.

Things
This level contains the following numbers of things per skill level:
