Walkthrough

Map of Downtown

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 west side with lava and crushers, open a wall to the east for a radiation suit. (sector 593)
2. At the west side of the map, lower the southeast lift and when you get on, you will teleport. You will be on the opposite side of the lift. Quickly head to the west side and enter either the north or south alcoves for a plasma gun. (sector 577)
3. In the southwesternmost hall, lower the lift at the south end via the switch and take it up to a thin opening. Take the teleporter there to teleport to a soul sphere. (sector 275)
4. Get to the building southeast of the starting building and go around its perimeter until you are at the north end, where a teleporter lowers. Take it to return to the starting building. Open the cracked wall to find a Commander Keen and partial invisibility. (sector 478)
5. Kill the Commander Keen in Secret #4 and head to the northeast side of the map, climbing up some steps. Jump to the south and take the lift up to get a light amplification visor and a BFG9000. (sector 548)
6. At the yellow key, lower the lift to the north and ride up to get two plasma guns. (sector 305)
7. At the east side of the map, find the blue switch on the east wall and use it to reveal an energy cell pack. (sector 195)
8. Enter the southernmost building at the east side and take the teleporter. Fall to the east to get an invulnerability. (sector 490)
9. Enter the southernmost building at the east side and take the teleporter. Take the next two teleporters and head east, then drop off to the platform nearby with a radiation suit. (sector 496)
10. Enter the southernmost building at the east side and take the teleporter. Take the next six teleporters, then re-enter the last one and fall to the north to pick up a megaarmor. (sector 498)
11. Enter the southernmost building at the east side and take the teleporter. Take the next seven teleporters and press the switch to lower a lift. Head across to the east and through a wall for another teleporter, which takes you to a soul sphere and a backpack. (sector 555)
12. In the southeast building, as the lift lowers, stick to the southwest side and head to the blood when you see it to find a teleporter, leading to the last secret sector. (sector 542)
