Baron's Realm is a vanilla-compatible single-level PWAD released by SMG_Man in December 2021, who originally created it back in August 2021 for a speedmapping project held on the Doomworld forums. It is a loose remake of Baron's Den, it requires TNT: Evilution as the IWAD, and it features the MIDI piece "Astral Dreadnought" by Jimmy.

Map of Baron's Realm

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. Immediately fall at the start to get a rocket launcher, boxes of rockets, and stimpacks. (sector 4)
2. In the southeast library, find a backpack in the bookshelf maze at the southeast end. (sector 658)
3. Head northwest from Secret #2 and go through a shelf with a picture. There is a hidden skull switch to the south here. Use it and head out of the maze to the east. Take the right of two paths here which leads downward, collecting armor bonuses and ammo clips. At the rocket launcher and rocket, open the door to get health bonuses, energy cells, and shotgun shells. Take the teleporter to get a megaarmor, a berserk pack, and medikits. (sector 140)
4. In the small room with shelves at the northeast end, go to the red banner at the northwest end and shoot it, revealing a teleporter. Take it and cross over to the east side to get energy cells and a computer area map. (sector 75)
5. After you get the red key, head southwest from the hub to two red doors, entering the southwest one. Here, go through the northwest corner to get a stimpack and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 666)
6. In the same room as Secret #5, press the switch, leave, and head back east. You can get the megaarmor in the area just before the hub now. (sector 639)
7. After you get the red key, head north of the hub and open the red door. Cross into the canyon area, then quickly run back, onto the northeast ledge, and to the megasphere and energy cell pack before the wall rises. (sector 84)
8. In the blue key area, open the red door and take the teleporter to get to a box of shotgun shells and partial invisibility. (sector 193)
9. From Secret #8, jump west to a ledge, then continue west and jump to another one with nukage. Go through the west wall, up the steps, and jump south. Jump two ledges southwest to pick up energy cell packs and a BFG9000. (sector 199)
10. After you get the blue key, head back to the canyon area and enter the nukage to the east. Open the blue door to get a plasma gun and energy cell packs. (sector 211)
11. After you get the blue key, return to the hub and head northeast. Follow the path in the water around to get a soul sphere. (sector 292)
12. Take the red door southeast of where the red key was and follow the path until just after the second torch. Lower a wall to the west here to get stimpacks, rockets, and an energy cell pack. (sector 646)
13. In the canyon area, find the blue bars on the east ledge that conceal a switch and open them. Press the switch, then head to the southernmost arena. The invulnerability in the middle will be accessible. (sector 492)
