Walkthrough

Map of The Warehouse

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. Head to the area west of the start and go southwest. Open the south wall, then head east and use the terminal to find a chaingun. (sector 30)
2. In the area east of Secret #1, after using the terminal, you will find a switch on its backside. Use that switch to lower the water to the east where you can get health bonuses. (sector 44)
3. At the west end with the blood pool, open the south wall to find a radiation suit. (sector 113)
4. In the hall with the crushers and pit falls, you will reach a part with three pits. Drop in the westernmost pit to find a light amplification visor and a megaarmor. (sector 145)
5. At the east hall, once you get past the tech column with the red floor and health bonuses, open the southwest corner to get a rocket launcher. (sector 170)
