MAP23: Tricks and Traps (The Long Trek Back Home)

MAP23: Tricks and Traps is the twenty-third map of The Long Trek Back Home. It was designed by hervoheebo, based on MAP08: Tricks and Traps from Doom II by Sandy Petersen, and uses an edited version of the original music track "The Dave D. Taylor Blues" by Robert Prince, distinct from the ones used on MAP09: The Catacombs and MAP17: The Inmost Dens.

Secrets

 * 1) Get the rocket launcher at the southeast end, then backtrack and use a lift to the south. Ride up to get boxes of ammo, shotgun shells, and a box of rockets. (sector 159)
 * 2) Open the blue door in the hub and open the next door. Go around the block and flip the switch, then head south and take the teleporter to get a radiation suit and armor bonuses. (sector 183)
 * 3) In the S-shaped hall at the north end, head to the northwest side and press the lion switch to get armor bonuses. (sector 308)
 * 4) In the hall north of the hub, enter the second alcove on the left side to open a teleporter south of the alcove close to the entrance. Use it to get an invulnerability. (sector 342)
 * 5) In the area northwest of the hub with the rising and lowering platforms, get on the rightmost platform and straferun northeast to get the blur artifact. A better method of getting it is to enter the north hall from the hub, then enter the second alcove on the right, which opens a teleporter south of the alcove near the entrance. This teleporter takes you directly to the blur artifact. (sector 345)
