Walkthrough

Map of Rotten Initiative

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, lower the brown wall to the northwest to get many magic crystals and partial invisibility. (sector 180)
2. Heading north into the next hall, there are four windows to the south. Jump out of any of them and get magic crystals and a soul sphere. (sector 20)
3. In the main room, look at the west window and shoot at the south side of the window. This opens a teleporter at the north end which leads to a megasphere in the middle in the room. (sector 256)
4. At the northeast end, go to the magic tome (Daikatana's staff on lower skill levels) and the northeast shelves will lower. Go there and use the switch at the west side, which lowers an invulnerability to the west. (sector 310)
