Walkthrough

Map of Necropolis

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. Just before you reach the rooftop with the door to the chamber with cyberdemons, use the east wall right next to the door to lower the block to the west. Take the teleporter on this block to reach a rooftop with a megaarmor. (sector 200)
2. Re-enter the teleporter at Secret #1 to get a soul sphere. (sector 205)
