Walkthrough

Map of Vaw Complex

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. From the central hub, head southeast, then go north and use a green button on the terminal. Head northeast, follow the path over nukage, then take the lift to get a chainsaw. (sector 141)
2. Go north on the west bridge, then at the other side, go to the health bonus near the southwest side of the nukage. Quickly run back on the bridge to get the backpack. (sector 43)
3. Cross on the east path at the northwest end, then climb the steps and go south. The next area has a deep pit. To get this next secret, you need to jump to a small, recessed section on the east wall below. Lower the wall to get a berserk pack. (sector 171)
4. From the northwest end, take the southeast steps down and into the nukage. Go east to a switch and use the computer next to the switch. Enter the nukage and take the southeast path to head out to the north, with armor bonuses and a chaingun. (sector 96)
