Walkthrough

Map of Blacksite

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 southwest circular staircase, you can go through a waterfall to the southeast to fall down. Open the door, get the armor bonuses, and take the lift to get a berserk pack. (sector 3508)
2. After restoring power to the west side of the map, head to the south room of the area and use the lift to ride up. Here, head to the west wall and open it to find a switch. This will open a wall east of the lift. Head there, cross the bridge, and open the door to get boxes of rockets and a soul sphere. (sector 6266)
3. Open the blue doors at the southeast end and fall off the platform (or go to the circular staircase) to make two blocks open. Go to the south block and open the back wall. Follow this passage into the void where a door appears. Enter it and sit on the chair to get a computer area map. (sector 3877)
