E2M4: Mortuary is the fourth map of episode (The Collider's) New Clothes in Return to Hadron. It was designed by Matt Powell (cannonball) and uses the music track "Mist Ache," originally composed by Lee Jackson for Rise of the Triad (original episode) or "Arcadia" by John Weekley (PRIMEVAL) (Ultimate edition). In the Ultimate edition this level received notable changes in both geometry and things population.

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. Open the left and right doors at the start and take the left path. When you reach the torches, look towards the right torch to find a button to shoot, which opens a secret room ahead containing a medikit, an energy cell pack, and a plasma gun. (sector 112)
2. In the large cavern, go to the lit area where the shotgun is. There are two columns nearby, one of which has a button at the south side. Push this button and quickly run all the way to the right, towards where the rocket launcher is. Quickly enter the room before it closes to reach armor bonuses and a soul sphere. (sector 173)
3. At the northwest marble room with the switch to open the yellow key area, there are two columns in the middle of this room which have gargoyle faces on them. The left column has a lion face at its north end. Push it to open the wall to the west, which leads around to a computer area map, a soul sphere, and boxes of rockets. (sector 266)
4. In the yellow key area, go towards the south side of the rightmost column and press on the face to reveal rockets and an energy cell pack. (sector 343)
