Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Head south from the start and open the south wall that is slightly recessed. You will find a medikit, a chaingun, and a rocket. (sector 166)
  2. In the area with the circular walkway over nukage, head to the west ledge and use the terminal. This lowers a column at the northwest end of the nukage, which has Bi-O claws. (sector 407)
  3. Head east from secret #2 and open the damaged wall to the north to find a health bonus, a medikit, a box of ammo, and Bi-O force guns. (sector 374)
  4. In the red key room, get to the two sets of terminals at the northern end and go to the one on the right. Find the lion mouth and use it. It will open up an alcove nearby with a blur artifact. (sector 289)

Bugs[edit]

Like in the original 2002 version, there are invisible triggers that block the player's use attempts when opening the entrance (linedef 2852) to an exit (linedef 55) from the trapped teleporter area, making the player have to get closer than normal to the doors to use them, as the use range is cut down from 64 to 28 and 32 map units respectively. This version of the map additionally has an invisible trigger (linedef 2599) that cuts the use range at the big garden door to 40 units, and another (linedef 2836) at the entrance to the sliding walls room to cut the use range down to 28 units.
