MAP05: Reservoir is the fifth map of Scientist 2. It was designed by Roland van der Velden and uses a MIDI rendition of the Dream Theater song "Take the Time" as its music track.

Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Reservoir
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[edit]

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. In the area with the red bars west of the start, go to the western wall and press on the part between two candles to find a megaarmor, a chainsaw, and a backpack. (sector 57)
  2. Take the bridge east of the main area once you raise it into a blood river. At the next intersection, go north until you find a medikit. Use the wall north of the medikit to find a teleporter. (sector 60)
  3. Take the teleporter in secret #2 to get to the southeastern tower in the main area where you can get a crossbow. (sector 176)
  4. After you raise the northern bridge in the main area, head north and to the exit sign, but quickly return to the bridge, then jump northwest to the ridge over the water. Run quickly to the northwestern corner of the area to reach a soul sphere before it closes off. (sector 61)

Bugs[edit]

The red key switch (linedef 2280) raises a bridge from the water to the next higher floor touching it. A lift to the water is touching it, and activating the bridge while the lift is in a partially lowered state will make the bridge fail to rise all the way, potentially softlocking the level.

The following multiplayer-only things have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level:
