Walkthrough

Map of The Chapel

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 easternmost room of the chapel, the east switch raises the steps and large platform in the middle. Before climbing up there, head to the northeast corner and use the south side of the metal block to reveal another switch. This raises a bridge leading from the large platform to the north switch. You can then go up to the large platform and go behind the switch to get a BFG9000. (sector 189)
2. In the central library area, head to the middle of the south end and find the small, red button on the north bookshelf. Use it and head to the east side to get armor bonuses, a soul sphere, and partial invisibility. (sector 273)
