Map of The Old Base

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. Go to the green armor and quickly return to the start. Go through the southeast opening to head to a chaingun, boxes of ammo, and a soul sphere. (sector 2)
2. In the room west of the yellow key room, open the wall with metal ridges around it to find a passage with a berserk pack (not on I'm Too Young to Die), a box of shotgun shells, and health bonuses. (sector 13)
3. Go to the exit door and lower the west wall. Ride up and head to another lift to the west. Take it up to get a megaarmor. (sector 29)
