E4M1 is the first map of the fourth episode of Heroes. It was originally designed by Kevin Haley and Bill Courneya as TOWN.WAD (The whole city's gone to Hell!), then modified by Albert Dewey for the compilation. It uses the music track "".

Secrets[edit]

  1. Part of the wall on your left at the start lowers on pressing to reveal a shotgun and a rocket launcher. (sector 124)
  2. The start of the path leading from the main courtyard area to the blue key counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 18)
  3. The door to the teleporter leading out of the red key area counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 75)
  4. After going through the red door, you will drop down to an area with a window to the lava area. There is a secret door to the east here, leading to a stimpack, two imps, two energy cells, and two rockets. Both the door and the area with the ammo count as separate secrets. (sector 101)
  5. See #4. (sector 98)
  6. Between #4 and #5 is a section of fake wall to the south leading to a shotgun guy and a BFG9000. There are two secrets here, however the former is too narrow for credit to be obtained. (sector 126)
  7. See #6. (sector 99)

Bugs[edit]

As one secret (#6 above) is too small, the maximum achievable secret percentage on this level is 85%.
