Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Phobos Garrison
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]

Go straight forward to a door and open it to enter a room with a large brick column, then go down the steps on the east side before continuing east and south until you walk over a gray step. Continue east into the next room and climb up the steps by the west wall to a switch, which will raise a bridge over the nukage trench to the south, then head over the bridge and step round the column in front of you to see a door ahead. Go through the door and head down some steps to see a few zombies guarding an exit door, which you can open to find a demon guarding a switch.

Flipping the switch will not end the level, but will instead drop you into an open area where a large number of zombies, demons and lost souls are approaching from the west. Use the chaingun below the fake exit switch to help you kill them, then enter the tower on the west side and flip the switch inside it to raise a bridge over the blood pool ahead. Cross the bridge and climb the steps to another exit door, then open it to find a cacodemon guarding the exit teleporter.

Secrets[edit]

  1. At the east end, drop into the nukage on the west side and go on the winding path until you reach the outside courtyard with a supercharge. (sector 5)
  2. At the east end, drop into the nukage on the east side and go to the end of the path here to get the secret. (sector 56)
  3. Enter the nukage at the north end of the map, flip the switch, and take the lift up. Up here are shotgun shells and a medikit. (sector 118)
  4. If you flipped the switch in secret #3, head to the room south of the northern nukage pit and the middle wall will be open. Flip the switch inside to lower a wall to the north. Take the lift up to health bonuses and a megaarmor. (sector 114)
  5. When you reach the fake exit door, open the dark green wall at the bottom of the stairs to find a radiation shielding suit, medikits and a chainsaw. (sector 144) The door here provides an alternate route to secret #1.
