Walkthrough

Map of Serene Shadows

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. Head behind the throne where the cyberdemon is and use the metal wall to reveal a teleporter. This will telefrag the cyberdemon and allow you to get a BFG9000. (sector 67)
2. Head into the water at the north end and find the corridor to the right, where you will see a candle near a hanging corpse. Use this corpse to reveal a teleporter, which leads to an outside area behind the throne. Out here you can find a baron of Hell and lost souls (Ultra-Violence or higher) guarding a box of ammo, a box of shotgun shells, a box of rockets, and a soul sphere. (sector 106)
