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]
- Turn around, and head towards the back of the train, killing the two followers in the way. Flip the switch in the third cart, and you may exit the train.
- Enter the passage, heading right. This leads outside to an almost empty area, but you can enter the tower and flip the switch to get 100% armor. Proceed through the north door.
- Shoot the glass, and flip the switch on the right. Proceed left, but watch for an ambush coming from your left.
- You should see the purple key, but it is unreachable. Enter the building and you can get a backpack and a chaingun.
- Continue down the corridor, You will encounter a Phage, a few land mines, and should re-enter an actual building. When you turn north, press the switch to lower the staircase, which will lead to the airstrip.
- Upon reaching the airstrip, run forward to evade the centaur. Enter the northwest building to get the green key.
- Enter the spacecraft from either side. Take the lift and use an automatic weapon to defeat the followers. Kill the two phages at the back, and press the switch.
- On the north side of the ship, take the lift. Jump across the gap to the bridge. Clear out the bridge, and flip the switch at the front - this releases a hunter, but allows you to get the yellow key.
- With the yellow key, head to the north-east. This leads to a secondary airstrip. In the southeast doorway, flip a switch to open the northeast door.
- Go through the northeast door. This brings you to a switch that lowers the purple key and backpack, allowing you to collect them.
- With the purple key, you can proceed to the north-east corner of the map, the start of the missile base. The exit is in the south-east corner of the base.
Secrets[edit]
- In the area south of the room with the switch that lowers a staircase (mentioned in the fifth part of the walkthrough above), you will find a part of the southern wall damaged. Shooting this part will reveal a tunnel leading to a super health. (sector 408)
- After opening the door to the ship's bridge, look to your left (north). You will see a pentagon-shaped symbol on the wall. Pressing it will reveal an alcove with a backpack and armor. (sector 45)
Bugs[edit]
Halting the train in the beginning makes a brake screeching sound, which is produced by thing 157 inside the wall to the left of the switch. Though not meant to be killed, this thing counts as a monster, and shooting the wall a sufficient amount of times will kill it which is needed for a 100% kills score.
