Walkthrough

Map of Bridge to Despair

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. Both sides of the bridge at the start have shallow alcoves in both the north and south walls. The northern one on the east side of the bridge (which has a different texture to the others) is a secret door leading to a chaingun and a backpack. (sector 176)
2. The west wall of the yellow key ledge (coloured pink) is a secret door leading to a passage with an energy cell pack. (sector 166)
3. There are two sections of pink-coloured wall in #2 - the western one leads to a soul sphere. (sector 168)
4. The southern section of pink wall in #2 leads to an energy cell pack. (sector 84)
5. After going through the yellow door, it is necessary to press a switch to lower a wall. North-east of this wall is a secret door (marked with a green texture) leading to a plasma rifle. (sector 114)
