Walkthrough

Map of Earth, Blood and Fire

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. At the start, the switch behind the starting point lowers the big lift to the east. Face east as it is rising up, and when you can, make a strafejump to the eastern ledge. You can get a chainsaw, a medikit (not on Ultra-Violence or higher), and three armor bonuses. (sector 37)
2. Use the teleporter behind the red door at the east end of the map, then go southeast. Just before the teleporter, use the red button on the wall. Now enter the teleporter and quickly run south, then through the open wall to get a plasma gun and other supplies. (sector 84)
3. At the west side of the map with the green torch on the block, you will have to jump onto that block, which will trigger a teleporter to the northeast. Quickly run and jump to the platform with the teleporter and head inside before it closes, and you can get a soul sphere (Hey, Not Too Rough or lower) or four medikits (higher skill levels). (sector 136)
