Map of Umber Keep

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. At the southeast end, get on the small platform and use the switch. After using it, head to the steps to the northwest and take the open door. Inside, lower a lift to the west to get a quiver of ethereal arrows and a map scroll. (sector 202)
2. At the north end are a lot of pods, which you can walk on from the window above to head to the northwest platform with ethereal arrows and a mystic urn. (sector 282)
3. Open the yellow door and head east to a large, faceted wall. Lower it to get flame orbs and a shadowsphere. (sector 409)
