Map of Hell's Gate

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 start room, shoot the wall between the two teleporters. Two armors, the shotgun, the chaingun, a box of shotgun shells, a box of bullets and the berserk sit here. (sector 436)
2. Two torches are floating in the chasm area. However, the secret sector sits below the two torches and is too thin to be accessed. (sector 134)
3. In the chasm area, fall into the blood and go north. A teleporter will open, allowing you to go back to the thin walkway. However, you cannot access the secret sector itself, as it is too small for you to step on and register. (sector 117)

Bugs

Due to two of the secrets in this map being too small for the player to reach, the maximum number of secrets possible for this map is 33%.
