Walkthrough

Map of Something Dark is Coming

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. After escaping your cell, head south and open the east wall for a chaingun. (sector 560)
2. In the connecting hallway at the south end of the sewer regions is a tucked-away switch at the south wall. Shoot it and head to the northeast part of the sewers. A gateway is open allowing you to get a super shotgun. (sector 542)
3. At the super shotgun mentioned above, look up and at the northwest corner and shoot the switch there, then drop down and head east and up through another open gate. Use the switch and take the lift up to get shotgun shells. (sector 555)
4. In the large room in the center of the map, head to the east side out of the maze and directly east to the window. Lower the south wall to get a megaarmor. (sector 27)
5. At the northernmost room, just before the bridge, head north to a recessed wall and open it to find a megaarmor. (sector 631)
6. In the northeast area with the lava, head all the way to the northwest corner and find the hidden switch there, then run all the way to the southeast corner to get a megasphere. (sector 453)
7. At the southeasternmost end of the map, open the south wall for energy cell packs, boxes of shotgun shells, boxes of rockets, and a soul sphere. (sector 509)
