Walkthrough

Map of Eden

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. The lift leading up to the yellow key counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 31)
2. The blue key platform counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 79)
3. The room north-east of the room with the red cross on the floor has a secret door directly opposite the one used to get to the red key, which leads via a lift to an area with a backpack and a stimpack which overlooks the outdoor area with the berserk. (sector 125)
4. Just east of the secret door mentioned in #3 is a dark grey computer wall in between the two blue doors. This is a secret door leading to a room with an imp and a chainsaw. (sector 129)
5. The room with the red key counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 135)

Bugs

Behind the yellow door is a switch which raises a bridge across a nukage pit. On versions of Doom after 1.2 the bridge does not raise properly (however, it is still possible to run across to the other side). To get the bridge to raise fully, it is necessary to use either version 1.0 or 1.2, or, if playing with PrBoom+, using -complevel 0.
