Walkthrough

Map of The Locus

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 southwest room, head to the beds at the west end and find the one with a dead shotgun guy. There is a green button hidden at the south end of this bed. After pressing it, run southeast and into a room with a rocket launcher and rockets. (sector 209)
2. In the room south of the start, use the red button on the north wall, then quickly run three rooms to the north and enter this one. Use the switch to the southwest, then run back to the previous room and to an alcove next to it to get a soul sphere. (sector 618)
3. In the room at the north end with crates, take the lift at the north end and jump to the stack of crates with a medikit. Drop off to the west and look for a blue skull switch on the west side. Shoot it, then take the southeast steps and open the door immediately to the left. Open the next door and head east to pick up energy cells. (sector 1587)
