Walkthrough

Map of The Gardens

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. The northeast cage in the east courtyard counts as a secret, however it is not possible to enter this cage without cheating. (sector 201)
2. In the room with the Scimitar, press the wall behind the Scimitar to get a backpack. (sector 224)

Bugs

A medikit (Thing 85) in the southeast has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level. It is at the same spot as a stimpack on skills 3-5, so probably was intended to appear on skills 1-2.

Due to Secret #1 being inaccessible without the use of cheat codes, only 50% secrets is possible on this map.
