Walkthrough

Map of Strategic Defense Command

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. Enter the base and use the left door, then take the lift until you can go north to the cave. Head through the tunnel to the right of the four lamps to the glowing rock room, then take the next passage you find. Going down the rocks, you may hear a lift lower. Return to the glowing rock room as quickly as you can and head to the northeast to reach a set of rocks in the previous cave with some rockets on them. (sector 60)
2. Come back to the cave near the elevator mentioned in the previous secret. This time, head northwest to the dark passage, then hug the right wall as you go up and around. The yellow key will be here, but only on Ultra-Violence or higher. From this ledge, jump southwest to the rocky ledge here, then take the rocky steps up to the higher ledge with the rocket launcher, rockets, plasma gun, and health bonus. (sector 65)
3. There are two ways towards this secret. The first one requires the lift mentioned in Secret 1, but this time, by taking it all the way down. Open the wall with the UAC logo, and go west through the computer halls until it gets dark, then turn east and open the Tei Tenga monitor to find health bonuses, a backpack, and a box of shotgun shells. If you are going to this secret from the previously described ones, come back to the central cave near the lift and go through the northwestern cave until you fall down (watch the lava crack though). Then move southwest where the red key is, and from that place go southeast through the corridors until you reach the previously mentioned Tei Tenga monitor. (sector 86)
4. In the marble room north of the caves, go around the block with the chainguns to the eastern side, and lower a wall there to get up there. Aside from the chainguns, there will also be shotgun shells, armor bonuses, and a medikit. (sector 139)
5. Next to the switch that lowers the blue key, lower the wall in the northwest corner for a megaarmor. (sector 234)
6. In the blue key room, go around the column on the right side to hear a lift lower, which is the column on the left side. This column has a teleporter, quickly enter it to emerge on the block with the plasma guns. (sector 138)
