Walkthrough

Map of Hidden Machinations

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets.

Secrets

Note: Secrets 1 & 2 must be done before the boss fight, while the springpads are still activated.

1. In the southeast of the area with the springpads, you should see a ledge with snakemen behind a railing. Use the near by springpad to jump up to the ledge, where you will find a mystic urn. (thing 931)
2. In the northwest of the area with the springpads, you should see some large metal pipes jutting out of the wall, just under a square opening in the wall. Use the nearby springpad to jump up to the pipes and enter the hole in the wall. This will take you through a trap filled ventilation shaft, ending in a room with a rising floor covered in symbols. Only walk on the symbol NOT shown on the far wall, and you will reach the final segment of the Bloodscourge. (sector 297)
3. In the room after the boss fight, use the switch to lower the staircase to the upper level. Toward the end of the upper level, jump up on the tank with a blue mana on it and then jump into the open acid vat. At the bottom is a mystic urn. (thing 833)
