Map of The Reality Binder

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. In the hub, go up the southwest steps and fall to the west to get a megasphere. (sector 634)
2. In the blue keycard area, use the switch at the northwest end, then press on the north wall to find a megaarmor. (sector 3205)
3. In the yellow keycard area, go through the train, then head to the southeast waiting area and use the tan wall to find a soul sphere. (sector 4982)
4. In the red skull key area, head to the northeast part of town and enter the open building. Go behind the door and find a switch in the southeast corner. After using it, leave the building and head south, then west, then south through to the field below. Head east and up to a soul sphere. (sector 7074)
5. In the yellow skull key area, you need to shoot two switches to get this secret. At the southeast end of the cave, take the south steps up to an energy cell pack, then look northeast and shoot the switch. Drop to the left, then head north to a black rock with two candles. Jump northwest to one with four candles, then look west and slightly southwest to find the next switch to shoot. After shooting both, go to the northwest side of the caves and enter the open one to find a megaarmor. (sector 7764)
6. In the hub, go to the southeast steps and fall to the east. Take the teleporter to get a secret with weapons, ammo, and megasphere. (sector 8177)
