Walkthrough

Map of Carnage

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 east from the start room along a ledge. Part of the wall along the left has a misaligned texture which is a secret door, leading to a plasma rifle and two energy cell packs. (sector 16)
2. At the end of the aforementioned ledge, head down the steps and continue north to a switch. Pressing the switch reveals a room with a walkway over some nukage. Head towards the north-west of this walkway into the building and go down two floors to reach a chainsaw. Pressing the west wall here lowers the wall, allowing access to a soul sphere which is visible in the nukage. (sector 39)
3. Near the yellow key is a walkway surrounding three pillars. This walkway has a secret door between two candles leading to a shotgun guy, a soul sphere, and two imps (multiplayer only). On hard skill, there is also a BFG9000 and an energy cell pack. (sector 131)
