Map of First Matters

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.

EssentialsEdit

At the start, head into the room to the left where there is a pillar in the center. Go to the other end of the room, and you will be in a corridor with two windows. Go to the end and you eventually get outdoor. There, turn left to enter inside the other portion of the building. You will in a room with nukage/water. Head to the east of the room and enter the middle corridor. Once you find a lift, take it up into another room, in which you need to press the switch to get the exit accessible.

Return to the liquid room, and notice an opened wall in the west. Go there to get outdoor and walk on the staircase to the north. Jump over the central pillar and to the northern side, so you can finish the level.

BugsEdit

A chaingun (Thing 156), a rocket launcher (154), a plasma gun (155) and a BFG9000 (153) are all flagged to appear in multiplayer mode, however they also lack any skill flags, so they are never spawned in the game.
