Walkthrough

Map of Imperial Stronghold

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 highest ledge of the northwest building, drop down to the east where a mancubus is, then use the north wall to get a megasphere. (sector 1091)
2. Head to the northeast droid tower and at the northeast side, open the wall for a BFG9000. (sector 1095)
3. There is a ledge southeast of Secret #2 that you can safely land. Use the terminal to the left of the switch to find energy cells, rockets, and a plasma gun. (sector 1086)
4. At the east end, after opening the way south past a mancubus and revenants, head south and as soon as the path bends, you will hear something lower. Run back north, then east, then south through the corridor to get backpacks and a soul sphere. (sector 906)
5. Grabbing the blue key reveals cacodemons and tortured souls at the north and south sides of the room. Enter the northeast closet and push the button there, then head to the northeast wall to find a computer area map. (sector 1041)
6. After you get both the yellow and blue keys, return to the northwest building and get to the west side. Enter the second cage and into the side room and press all three switches here. Afterwards, return to the starting area and head north from the teleporter that led you to the main stronghold. The barriers at the northern tunnel are gone, so follow this path to get a BFG9000 and the secret exit. (sector 659)
