Walkthrough

Map of Cerulean Escape

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. In the area west of the start, unlock the switch to the north and go to it. Look behind it and shoot a button in the distance. Go south to the hall with blue lights and head west to a new teleporter, which takes you to a soul sphere. (sector 43)
2. In the red key area, head to the southeast cage and shoot the switch in the distance. After doing so, head south and east, taking a lift up to get a megaarmor. (sector 221)
3. At the first yellow door, head west through the waterfall and take the teleporter to get an energy cell pack and a berserk pack. (sector 314)
4. At the northwest end, after telefragging the two cyberdemons at the top, go north from the second cyberdemon platform and use a wall in the northwest corner. Flip the switch there, then go south of the pad and west to find a teleporter leading to a soul sphere. (sector 741)
