Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Jovian Déjà Vu Again
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.

Essentials[edit]

Flip the switch in front of you, wait for the platform to rise and open the door in front of you for some energy cell packs and a supercharge.

This level is a near exact copy of E1M1: UAC Spaceport. To win, you must kill the spiderdemon in the pit near the start of the map. You can easily do this with the BFG9000, if you have one.

To get the yellow skull key, grab the red skull key at the start, activate the lift the spiderdemon is on, wait for it to rise then slip by the monster. Then, go to the right into the nukage room, and go to the lift on the left. Open the red door to find the yellow key.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Head east of the nukage bridge and run to the east lift. Quickly enter the teleporter to go back to the second room and fall to the left to get a box of bullets, a backpack, and a supercharge. (sector 12)
  2. In the second room, open the south-east wall to find an invulnerability. (sector 33)
  3. Head east of the nukage bridge and to the east lift. Open the south wall before the lift to find medikits. (sector 36)
  4. Head east of the nukage bridge and open the north wall to get medikits. (sector 37)
  5. Open the north wall past the spiderdemon to find a berserk pack. The north wall here can be opened with the yellow key to get armor bonuses and a BFG9000. (sector 39)
  6. Head east of the nukage bridge and lower the east lift. Lower the south wall to find a plasma gun and boxes of shotgun shells. (sector 58)
