Walkthrough

Map of Cosmic Cacodemons

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 central area, take the path up the steps to the south and drop down to a megaarmor. (sector 84)
2. Open the door at the start and run to the next door. If you are fast enough, you can make it to the other side, otherwise you will have to wait until you teleport back to the start, where you can safely jump the whole. Either way, open the door to find a backpack and a computer area map. (sector 316)
