Secrets[edit]

  1. At the west wing, head to the north end and flip the switch to the south. Quickly run back around to the middle to see an open compartment with a megasphere and a medikit. Attempting to enter it will teleport you to a box of ammo, a green armor, and a medikit near the start. (sector 0)
  2. Go back to the switch that opens the compartment with the megasphere and medikit and attempt to enter it again, this time you will not teleport and you will trigger the secret. (sector 139)
  3. At the bridge of the ship, use the gray terminal to the west of the front window to lower a lift to the southeast, leading to a teleporter. (sector 114)
  4. Take the teleporter in the previous secret to wind up in an alcove near the starting point containing a soul sphere, a medikit, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 101)

Trivia[edit]

  • This map is impossible to complete in ports based on old versions (prior to 2.3.0) of ZDoom, as the level relies on the occurrence of a spechits overflow in order for the exit to work. Later versions of ZDoom identify the map and automatically apply the required compatibility flag.
