Walkthrough

Map of The Gate

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. After going through the first teleporter, leave the cage and head north. A podium with four switches will rise from the floor. Press the northern switch 22 times to raise the nearby floor to the required height, then press the western switch to lower the floor as a lift. When it is at the bottom, press the eastern switch then take the lift up. Jump across to the west to a soul sphere - a door will be briefly opened behind it, revealing a plasma cannon. (sector 52)
