Map of Melt-Down

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. From the lift trigger mentioned in Secret #2, head through this hall and into the next room with crates. On the ledge here, step onto the crate to the south and head into the yellow light to get a medikit, a box of shotgun shells, and a box of rockets. (sector 11)
2. In the small yard with the plasma gun, enter the door leading west. When you enter the room with the arch-vile, you will hear a lift lower. Run back to the yard and in the northeast corner near the crates is the lift. Ride it up and step on the crates to get an armor (it is also possible to straferun to the crates from the steps, but this is much harder to pull off). (sector 12)
3. To get the megaarmor in the blue key area, use the arch-vile to jump to its ledge. (sector 155)
