Walkthrough[edit]

Map of E3M1 - Phobos Spaceport
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.

Essentials[edit]

Climb the steps to enter a courtyard then head straight forward (north) down some more steps to reach a junction. Open the eastern door and kill one or two shotgun guys, then enter the next room and head around the walkway on the east side until you come to a tan door. Go through the door to get back outside, kill any waiting imps and zombies then run north to an exit door and open it to find an imp blocking the exit switch.

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Climb the steps at the start and go to their east side. Press the button and go back to the starting point to get armor bonuses. (sector 24)
  2. Head to the armor at the west side, then use the wall with the poison sign to the east to find health bonuses and a clip. (sector 126)
  3. Head north-west from secret #2 into the nukage and you will find a megaarmor. (sector 153)
  4. Open the wall west of the exit door to find a rocket launcher and a stimpack. (sector 157)

Bugs[edit]

A bloody mess (Thing 31) has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
