Walkthrough

Map of Escape from Castle Chezcrea

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 big area with the conveyor belt in the southeastern part of the main section of the map, get to the southeastern corner of the area and press the switch to your right. This will open up several areas in the level, including the northern room with imps and a yellow key. Next to the yellow key is a pickaxe. Press use on it to grab it. Now, return to the high ledge from where you entered the area and go to the southwestern corner of the previous room towards the cracked brown wall. By pressing on this wall after grabbing the pickaxe, you will open the passage to a rocket launcher. (sector 554)
2. Open the yellow door and go down the hall, stopping at the first door you see. Look through the hole in the door to spot a hanging body. Shoot this body (it functions like a Commander Keen), then go back through the yellow door and into the main room. Enter the southwestern alcove to find a megaarmor and a soul sphere. (sector 249)
3. Open the yellow door again. This time go all the way down the hall and turn south to reach a darkening cavern. As you move southward, hug the left (eastern) wall. You will wind up in a small alcove with a bunch of supplies. (sector 725)
