Walkthrough

Map of The Gravity of the Situation

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 blue key area, look at the orange wall to the east and shoot a target behind the translucent part. This opens an area to the northwest, which leads to fire cells and a BFG9000. (sector 125)
2. In the area with crates, lower a red present at the southwest end and use the switch. Quickly run east and to a lowered present, using the switch there. Quickly run northwest, then south to a box of ammo. Shoot the target here and head out, then north to a fire cell pack and a DBK action figure. (sector 217)
3. At the south walkways, go behind the two Christmas trees and use the handprint switches there to reveal a megasphere nearby. (thing 132)
