Walkthrough

Map of Dave

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 east of the level is a dark passage with red floors and ceilings. In the north-east of this passage (near the four armor bonuses) is a secret door leading to a light amplification visor. (sector 76)
2. In the far west, near the twitching impaled human, is a secret door to the west (marked with a misaligned texture) leading to four demons and two boxes of bullets. (sector 57)

Bugs

The player 2-4 starts (Things 114, 115, and 116) have no flags set for any of the difficulty classes, but because of special handling in the engine, they function normally in the level.
