Walkthrough

Map of Piercing Evil

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. Behind the starting depot, use the switch to reveal a blur artifact. (sector 3454)
2. In the sewer at the west side, go to the north wall and open it to get rockets and a stimpack (not on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower). (sector 254)
3. When you teleport to the bridge leading to the red key, head to the north side and find a switch tucked into the west wall. Flip it, then enter the hole to the east. Go north, face east, shoot the target, and head back up. Enter the teleporter to the northwest to get a soul sphere. (sector 1434)
4. Open the red door and head through. Lower the middle bookshelf to find a plasma gun and an energy cell. (sector 5415)
