Walkthrough

Map of Falls of Death

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 start, turn round and press the door, raising some stairs ahead of you. Now press the western ledge, lowering it and raising you to a switch. When the stairs have finished rising, press the switch raising another floor (the floor will not raise fully if the stairs have not fully risen). This gives access to a soul sphere. Note that this area will close off after 30 seconds, at which point the secret will become inaccessible. (sector 3)
2. In the north-west of the level is a nukage room with six pillars and a teleporter allowing access to the pillars. Jumping over the pillars will allow you to reach a plasma cannon and a radiation shielding suit. Note that straferunning is required, and that the eastern side of the third pillar and the eastern and northern sides of the fourth pillar are impassable. (sector 179)
3. Heading south from the octagonal room in the west, there is a darker section of wall ahead. This is a secret door - behind it is a switch lowering a lift in the room to the east, allowing access to four boxes of rockets and (via another lift) a partial invisibility. (sector 158)

Bugs

It is not possible to complete this level with 100% items as there is an invulnerability located in an inescapable nukage pool.
