Map of The Pits

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. After going through the large dark hallway, press on the double gargoyle switches to reach the next room. There is a trail of armor bonuses going west, then south, but instead of following them, look a bit to the south and press on the wall as you do. When you hit a switch, quickly go up the steps on the trail and into an alcove on your left. (sector 334)
2. Use the switch inside Secret #1 to access one of the corner compartments in the large dark hallway, then press on one of the walls at the south end. An arch-vile teleports away when you open a corridor, and you can then access a secret room with ammo clips, a super shotgun, a box of shotgun shells, a computer area map, a green armor, and stimpacks. Taking a lift up leads to another one of the corner compartments, where a soul sphere is. (sector 338)
3. In the dark room with the cross-shaped lights on the floor on the east side of the map, walk through the north wall to find a secret lift. Follow the passage to reach a chainsaw, medikits, a rocket launcher, boxes of rockets, and a green armor. (sector 426)
4. In the brightly lit room at the southeast end of the map, there is a slightly recessed wall in the southwest corner. Open it to find a passage, with a lift leading up to one of the corner compartments in the big hallway where a megaarmor lies. (sector 531)
