Walkthrough

Map of Castle to Hell

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. Open the first two doors and open the wall directly to the north to find armor bonuses, a green armor, shotgun shells, a box of shotgun shells, and a medikit. (sector 9)
2. In the same big room, open the west door, then open the southwest wall with slime to find a hidden hall. You can head up to get an armor bonus, a chaingun, and a box of ammo, or south to get a box of ammo, shotgun shells, a stimpack, and a medikit. (sector 85)
3. Get the blue key, then return to the room to the north to get a BFG9000 and an energy cell pack. (sector 177)
4. After entering Secret #3, go back to where the blue key was and use the switch. Return to the north room and head into the southwest alcove. Go on the south floor and it will rise, leading to armor bonuses and a soul sphere. (sector 178)
