Walkthrough

Map of Atmospheric Processor

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.

Essentials

Other points of interest

The secret exit is located to the west of the normal exit, and is accessed from the central building via a yellow door (there is a yellow key inside the building).

Secrets

Four sectors are marked as secret: (sector 233), (sector 293), (sector 301), and (sector 316). However, none of these have any sidedefs, so do not actually appear in the level, thus the maximum obtainable secret percentage is 0%.

Speedrunning

As the secrets in this map can not be activated without cheating (see secrets), a NM100S run for this map is redundant. Other categories may ignore the secret requirement in this case.

Technical information

Inspiration and development

During development, this level became so large that it was split in two, the other part being E3M1: Bonus Level.
