Walkthrough

Map of The Styxs

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. In the southern part of the level is a room with two switches flanking a fire. One switch opens up an area near the exit revealing a soul sphere as well as a baron of Hell (a cacodemon on easy skill), and the other opens up a room immediately south with three imps (two on easy skill), a clip, 4 shotgun shells, a medikit, and an armor. (sector 218)
2. En route to the blue key, you will go through a small beige room with two grey walls in the corner. These grey walls are a secret door leading to a soul sphere. (sector 411)
3. Behind the blue door, there are two switches behind floor lamps. Shooting these switches open up secret doors. One of them opens up a nearby soul sphere. (sector 428)
4. The other switch (see #3) opens up a room to the south-east of the room with the arrow on the floor. This room contains two medikits. (sector 445)
