E2M6: Aqueduct of Agony is the sixth map of episode (The Collider's) New Clothes in Return to Hadron. It was designed by Matt Powell (cannonball). In the Ultimate edition, which saw no changes in the level, it uses the music track "Paint the Town Red" by James Paddock (Jimmy).

Walkthrough

Map of Aqueduct of Agony

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. East of the rocket launcher platform in the blood, press on the wall without slime to reveal a hidden switch. Use it to open the path to the north with rockets and a soul sphere. (sector 277)
2. In the room past Secret #3, press on the third terminal from the left to find a hidden switch, which will lower a lift leading up to a medikit and a BFG9000. (sector 282)
3. As you head up the steps at the southeast end of the map, the compartment ahead will be open with several monsters inside. The southwest corner has a tucked-away switch, which will open a passage back where the steps were. The room you find will have a megaarmor, a medikit, and energy cells. (sector 283)
