Map of The Rescue

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. The small alcove in the south of the level containing a switch which opens up access to the area east of the yellow door counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 189)
2. The red key area is opened by walking over a linedef at the top of a lift in a water room. This room has a secret wall, which lowers on pressing, on its south wall (at the bottom of the lift) leading to an imp, a box of shotgun shells, and a switch. Both the door and the room itself count as secrets. (sector 46)
3. See #2. (sector 47)
4. From the room south of the blue door, head east and take the middle of the three paths ahead of you. You will reach a grassy area whose northern wall lowers on pressing, revealing two imps (easy and medium skills) or a cacodemon (hard skill), a box of shotgun shells (easy skill) or a box of bullets (medium and hard skills), a stimpack (easy and medium skills) or a medikit (hard skill), and a switch which allows access to the nearby platform with a super shotgun, a backpack (hard skill only), 12 shotgun shells, and 0-2 medikits. (sector 53)
5. The switch in #3 opens up a secret area south of the switch which opens up the blue key area containing an imp, a medikit, a box of bullets, 4 shotgun shells, a box of shotgun shells, and either an armor (easy and medium skills) or a megaarmor (hard skill). There are two secrets here. (sector 61)
6. See #5. (sector 63)
7. There is a secret wall to the south of the yellow key room which lowers on pressing, revealing a switch which reveals a door on the north wall of this room, leading to three heavy weapon dudes (two on easy skill), three medikits (easy skill), a soul sphere (medium skill), or a megasphere (hard skill), a box of rockets (easy and medium skills) or an energy cell pack (hard skill), and a backpack (hard skill only). (sector 383)
8. Approaching the switch which lowers the wall leading to the exit room also opens up a room to the south of the outdoor area near the exit. Near the south-eastern medikit in this room is a wall to the south which lowers on pressing, revealing a room with three imps (two on easy skill), a medikit, 4 shotgun shells, and a switch. The switch opens up a nearby door, revealing an area with items including a plasma rifle and possibly a soul sphere (medium skill) or a megasphere (hard skill). (sector 373)
