Walkthrough

Map of Base: Nexus FI-2 by Lake Therion

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 first room of the building, go to the southeast terminal and use the terminal's middle panel to open a wall behind you. This area has a berserk pack, energy cell packs, and a box of ammo. (sector 333)
2. In the south water area, go west into a cave and go through the south wall where the bloody corpse is to get rockets and a megaarmor. (sector 95)
3. In the water outside at the southeast end, go west to the rocks and into a teleporter. Take the next teleporter to get a medikit, a rocket, energy cell packs, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 560)
4. Enter the room at the east side that has a bloody corpse of a hanging marine on the south wall with a switch next to it. Use the corpse to lower the wall, then use the switch to lower a lift south of the wall. Take the lift up to get an invulnerability. (sector 454)
5. In the large room at the northwest end, go behind the southeast crates to get a berserk pack. (sector 904)
6. In the halls east of the aforementioned large room, go to the north end, take the west steps, and go until you see light shining on the west wall. Open that wall to get a soul sphere and energy cell packs. (sector 1151)
