Walkthrough

Map of Gateway

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 southeast hallway, use the metal wall at the west end to find a teleporter to a soul sphere. (sector 152)

Bugs

A super shotgun (Thing 108) in the north has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
