Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Castle Entryway
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[edit]

At the start, follow the hallway to the end and flip the right switch to open the door to your right. From the top of the stairs, make a running jump to the platform with the flowing lava to find the yellow key hidden in a corner. Drop down and move past the bridge above you to find the yellow and blue doors. Enter the yellow door and make your way through the hallway until you find yourself in a large room with a switch up some stairs. Flip it and turn around to find the bars protecting the passageway to your right have raised. Go through it and turn left at the end to pick up the blue key. Drop down again, move towards the yellow and blue doors area then open the blue door and enter the portal to exit.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Open the wall to the right of your starting point (south) that does not have a ridge to open a secret room with a zombieman guarding six armor bonuses and a chainsaw. (sector 61)
  2. In the same hall as Secret #1, go to the end of it (southeast of the starting point) and shoot the lit satyr switch to open the passage. Follow that passage to get the shotgun at the end of it. (sector 62)
