Map of Soror Dolorosa

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 east building, climb to the top and look towards the red skull switch to the north. On the ledge you are at, go on the railing with candles and follow it counter-clockwise. At the end, head south to a health bonus and take it to teleport. You will find a soul sphere (two on Hurt Me Plenty or higher), ammo, and a red keycard. (sector 3871)
2. At the south end of the east building, go east and use the switch to lower the wooden bars. Go past them, then quickly run back and northwest, jumping west through the window with two candles. Below you will find a megasphere. (sector 1260)
3. Leave the area east of Secret #2 via the north lift. At the top, use the red light to the south, then jump down. Get the plasma gun, drop down again, then head northeast and jump down past the candles. Take the teleporter to enter a secret arena section. (sector 999)
4. At the south end of the east building, go south on the red ledges, climbing up. Enter the cave for the secret, which has a gray armor, stimpacks, medikits, health bonuses, ammo, and a black keycard. (sector 3964)
5. When you teleport to the west building, take the lift up and head to the south side. Find a small red light and use it, then head northwest, where there will be two switches. Press the first one to teleport to the silver keycard arena. (sector 3019)
6. Get all six keys and head to the west side of the west building to open the door. Follow the passage to get a chainsaw and the southwest arena. (sector 2971)
