Walkthrough

Map of Paradigma

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. At the start, head to the right and down to a broken monitor. Jump behind the broken monitor and head behind the monolith to find a computer area map. (sector 339)
2. Make your way all the way to the left side of the map, then go northeast all the way. Behind the broken skull switch is a blur artifact. (sector 3453)
3. Press the yellow keycard switch at the top of the left side of the map. This will lower two green blocks to the northeast and southeast. As the southeast one lowers, fall to the floor below and head behind the column in the center to find a stimpack and a switch. The skull switch lowers a teleporter later on and gives you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 1485)
4. After you get the yellow skull key, head east from where you got it and press on the yellow skull switch to open the way east towards a column. Approaching it lowers the kite-shaped column, which acts as a teleporter. When you teleport, jump to the northwest to get an energy cell pack, a soul sphere, and a skull switch. Like in Secret #3, this will lower a teleporter later and grant you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 38)
5. At the east side of the main area, make your way to the north end with the spider mastermind and green armor. Hop over the railing to the north and gently drop down to find a skull switch. Like with the previous two secrets, this will lower a teleporter later on and will also grant you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 6754)
6. In the area at the southeast end of the map, make your way to the northwest side, then use the railing to head east and follow the ledge all the way east. You will find a megasphere and a skull switch. Like with the previous secrets, this lowers a teleporter later on and grants you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 8055)
7. In the area at the southeast end of the map, make your way to the southwest side, then use the railing to head east and follow the ledge all the way east. You will find partial invisibility, two medikits, and a skull switch. Like with the previous secrets, this lowers a teleporter later on and grants you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 8084)
8. After you get the blue skull key and the bars to the east open up, get past the bars, then look north and jump the railing. Jump next to the yellow crystals and jump down as you head north to the platform below. You can find energy cell packs and medikits on this platform, as well as another skull switch which lowers a teleporter in the final segment and gives you a few seconds of invulnerability. (sector 6492)
9. At the last stretch where you have to push east through Hell knights and barons of Hell, there will be some steps in the middle leading north and south. Take them, then go under the bridge you were crossing to get a megasphere and energy cell packs. (sector 935)
