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.

Other points of interest

In the westernmost room, if you get closer to the south wall and look west, you will see a switch to the left of the pillar. Shoot it and a wall lowers northeast with a HE gauss shotgun and a light amplification visor.

Secrets

1. At the north end, head east to the underpass and use the wall with hieroglyphs just before the underpass. There are boxes of rockets and a megasphere to the east, and you can get another megasphere by taking the teleporter. (sector 125)
2. At the south end, use a green wall on the west side and ride up to get armor bonuses and energy cell packs. (sector 212)
