Map of The Explorer

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. At the south side of the village, head to the bottom floor of the central building and head north two rooms. Here, head to the east side of the desk and use the switch to raise steps. Take them up to get charged stimpacks, boxes of rockets, and combat armor plates. (sector 966)
2. At the west side are two big temples. Head to the bottom of either of these temple and use the face switch with the large mouth to reveal steps going down. Press the next switch to access a secret room with a charged medikit, combat armor plates, a dual-mode shotgun, a box of rockets, a yellow skull key, an energy cell, and a rocket launcher. (sector 3352)
3. At the east side of the village, go to the north side and head east to a bush which blocks a cave passage. Go through the passage to get to a rooftop. From here, jump to the south to get a soul sphere on another rooftop. (sector 3355)
4. Climb to the rooftop from Secret #1 and jump across the broken bridge. Flip the yellow skull key switch to open the way inside the pyramid from this side, which has a charged medikit and a BFG9000. (sector 4073)
5. At the exit area, head west to the steps, then drop off just to the south of it. Enter the cave to the north and follow it west, then head north to get a charged stimpack, combat armor plates, and a plasma gun. (sector 5223)
