Walkthrough

Map of Urbnbeta

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 north-east is a building with a chainsaw. Pressing the northernmost part of the eastern wall inside this building lowers a platform with a rocket launcher. (sector 200)
2. In the centre is a room with two switches which close various doors. There is a metal section of wall in the western part of this room - opening it reveals two medikits on a lift - press the eastern wall by this lift to lower it. (sector 212)
3. From #2 head south and east through secret doors to reach a computer area map. (sector 210)
4. The switch by the computer area map (see #3) lowers the wall, allowing access back to normal territory. This wall can also be lowered by pressing the southern side of the arch to the south-west. (sector 204)
5. From #4, head south then west through the arch and north through a door to reach a room with a shotgun and 8 shotgun shells. Pressing the wall immediately west of the door in this room lowers a wall which reveals a switch which re-opens the doors closed by the switches in the central room. Note that this sector is too narrow for credit to be obtained. (sector 207)
6. #4's room has a fireplace to the south which can be walked through, where there is a rocket launcher. (sector 177)
7. The room east of #6's room has a blood-covered bed which it is possible to jump onto from the west. Pressing the western part of the wall here lowers a lift to the east, allowing access to a BFG9000. (sector 176)
8. From #7's room, head north then east and climb up onto the south-western platform. Pressing a section of the western wall here lowers a nearby lift, allowing access to a backpack, two boxes of bullets, and a box of shotgun shells (not on easy skill). (sector 71)
9. The room to the north of #8's room has an arch leading east with curved sides. Pressing the north side reveals an armor to the south-west. (sector 127)
10. Pressing the northern part of the east wall of #9's room opens up a door next to #9 with a plasma rifle. (sector 168)
11. North of the exit is a bathroom. West of the sink is a secret door to the west leading to the dark room with the crates. After going through the door, turn left and press the eastern wall - a switch is revealed to the south. (sector 173)
12. Pressing the switch accessed via #11 lowers a platform with a berserk. (sector 144)
13. The path to the exit counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 203)

Bugs

Due to secret #5 (above) being too narrow, the maximum achievable secret percentage is 92%.
