'''Castlem.wad''' is a single-level [[PWAD]] for [[Doom]], designed by Jon Mandigo and released in September 1994. This map is an early example of a [[castle map]], which also tries to be accurate in its design, possessing features common in real life castles, such as: moats, watchtowers, throne rooms, dungeons and a gatehouse.

  If it is a secret level: [[Category:Secret levels]].
 
−
  If it is missing most of its walkthrough information: {{Level stub}}
 
−
Additionally, the {{map}} template below will automatically categorize it by slot (see Category:Levels by slot).  For single-level PWADs, add the parameter "nocat=true" to avoid this (otherwise Category:MAP01 would be swamped).  It will also automatically categorize the article by name, sorting it as if the specified slot was missing (see Category:Levels by name).  If the level title starts with "A" or "The", for proper sorting, add the parameter "name=X" where "X" is the name of the level without "A" or "The" at the beginning.

  1. In the southwest room, take the east passage and head all the way to the southeast area. The rocky area counts as a secret and can be raised by pressing the southeast wall. (sector 20)
  2. Press the wall in Secret #1 to get to a plasma gun. Press on the south wall to find steps leading to energy cell packs. (sector 21)

  4. In the southwest room of the castle, take the southeast steps and open the south wall to get a chainsaw. (sector 195)
  5. At the outside walls, head to the north end and use the slimy wall to access the outer hall. (sector 240)
  6. In the room with the chaingun, get the chaingun to open six compartments. Enter the northeast compartment and open the east wall, which leads to a stimpack, a computer area map, and a backpack. (sector 246)
  7. Open a wall west of the red key to find a corridor with a stimpack. You can also access this secret by going to the halls north or south of the throne room and opening the east wall there. (sector 253)
  8. In the outermost hall at the south end, head east and take a lift down to two stimpacks. (sector 311)
  9. Head southeast of the northeast steps and open the first door. Head west and two compartments open. Enter the west one and open the south wall to get this secret. (sector 322)
