Walkthrough

Map of Black Mass

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. When you go along the southeast or southwest edges of the cathedral (by the main altar with the megasphere, you open up several walls with enemies inside. When you do, go to the pentagram walls with the candles in front of them (either side works) and press on the candle to raise a step. Go through the fake pentagram wall to find a secret corridor with a megaarmor. (sector 572)
2. Climb the steps on the right side of the cathedral and go east, then north. Notice the two windows on the wall to the left as you go west. Jump out of the first window and you will be inside a prayer booth where you can grab an invulnerability. (sector 82)
