Walkthrough

Map of Toxin Purification Plant

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. Enter the hall east of the start, then go north and use the radiation sign to the northwest. Head back south and press the switch that appears. Return to the starting room and go through the small door to the south. Here, cross the nukage to the east, then north. Climb the steps after the health bonus to get this secret switch. (sector 96)
2. In the room at the south end, open a wall to the east and take the teleporter. This area has a radiation suit and a soul sphere. (sector 284)
3. At the yellow key, there is a very thin ledge going west. Take it to the outer ledge, then go all the way to the northeast on this ledge. Open the east wall here to find radiation suits and a lift to the blue key. (sector 277)
4. In the northwest hall, open the blue door to get ammo, a megasphere, and an invulnerability. (sector 397)
5. If you used the secret switch in Secret #1, enter the exit room and get the computer area map to the east. (sector 237)
