Walkthrough

Map of Creeping Death

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. Head north and northwest from the starting point until you spot the pentagram. Look south and find the stack of four crates. Lower them to get a chainsaw. (sector 21)
2. Go through the hall north of the blue key area and the central wall opens. Enter this area and open the west wall to get a rocket launcher and rockets. (sector 79)
3. Head north and northwest from the starting point until you get to the pentagram, then enter the small hall to the south and open the west wall to get rockets and a backpack. (sector 165)
4. In the southeast area, climb the steps to the west and go south, then east until you hear something lower. Backtrack quickly and you can get the megaarmor to the north. (sector 167)
