Map of Gauntlet of Hell

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. Leave the portal and head behind it to get boxes of rockets, a chainsaw, a backpack, a rocket launcher, a megaarmor, and a soul sphere. (sector 37)

Bugs

A whopping 28 stimpacks (Things 828 through 855) have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
