Walkthrough

Map of Afterburn

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.

Essentials

After the opening cutscene ends, the boss fight will begin immediately. You face two ice queens at the same time. However, you do not have to fight them because they have a lot of health and that would be a waste of ammo. You need to survive a certain amount of time, which you can track with a special bar on the screen. It does not display the time, but instead mimics a health bar that slowly depletes. In reality, you have to hold out for a little less than three minutes. Sometimes other regular monsters will spawn around the battlefield. After the timer ends, you will see a cutscene, after which the level will end.

Secrets

Trivia

• If you somehow find a way to kill both ice queens (by using cheats, for example), that will not end the fight, you still have to wait for the timer to run out.
