Map of The End of Roads

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. Behind the first building, head to the northeast side to find a golden medikit. (sector 4)
2. Next to Secret #1, get Frost Ovums and a literal chaos device to the east. (sector 176)
3. On the outer wall of the first building, head all the way around to get a hi-powered revolver. (thing 441)
4. On ground floor of the tower, head to the northwest wall and lower it to find a secret elevator. (sector 1207)
5. On the third floor of the tower, you can jump through a translucent wall to the east for crowns and a Hell scepter. (sector 628)
6. On the third floor of the tower, a wall on the west side counts as a secret, but it does not have anything behind it and is too small to register. (sector 629)

Inspiration and development

This map is strongly inspired by Castle Brannoch, the penultimate area in Quest 64, down to the upward tower climb they have in common.
