Walkthrough

Map of The Wailing Halls

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. At the southeast end of the map, enter the nukage and enter the southeast alcove. Use the south wall and enter the east alcoves with vines to pick up an energy cell pack and partial invisibility. (sector 37)
2. In the room at the north end with two teleporters, take the red one and jump down to the platform that has a plasma gun and energy cells. Quickly run south when you do this, all the way to an open window, then quickly press the switch before either the window or the switch closes. The floor will lower, so head south to a teleporter to teleport to a soul sphere, a medikit, and another energy cell. (sector 237)
3. Jump west from the chaingun to the wall and go through it to get a chainsaw, a stimpack, a box of ammo, and rockets. (sector 451)
