Walkthrough

Map of A Crater to Fill

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

Grab the shotgun and exit the building into a small clearing, guarded by a chaingunner and a few imps. Climb up the rocky path to your right until you reach the exit, barred for the time being. Enter the small building to your right: there will be a switch you need to activate, guarded by a pair of ambushing revenants.

Backtrack to the clearing and you will see a new path opened into the hillside, which you can climb to. Enter the narrow passage and platform your way to yet another switch, guarded by imps and a chaingunner, which will open a new exit back into the clearing. Take this exit, while grabbing the super shotgun to its left. There will be an ambush of a chaingunner, an arachnotron and two revenants waiting for you. Once dispatched, you can make your way to the now accessible exit, guarded by a lone arachnotron.

Secrets

1. Head back to the main area from the northwest end, then return to the starting point to pick up a berserk pack. (sector 84)
