Walkthrough

Map of Higher Ground

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 central nukage pit, go to the west side to an island with a radiation suit, a box of shotgun shells, a box of rockets, a chaingun, rockets, a soul sphere (only on Hurt Me Plenty), and a green armor (not on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower). (sector 98)
2. At the east end, find a small cave in the middle and head east to a switch. After pressing it, head out and east to where there was a window before. You can now head past the window to energy cells and a plasma gun. (sector 423)
3. Go up the rocks at the northwest end and land on the central rock. Jump southwest to a ledge on the west side and head south on it, using the west wall at the end. This path leads to a soul sphere. (sector 416)
