Walkthrough

Map of Ammo Pit

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 eastern caverns (the red key will be here on Hurt Me Plenty or higher), the high ledge has an arch-vile and an invulnerability. An arrow points to another ledge with a megasphere on it. You can use an arch-vile jump to jump directly to the ledge. An easier, but longer way involves an arch-vile jump on the eastern ledge next to the arch-vile, and following the path all the way around. (sector 76)
2. In the tower where the exit is, lower the wall in the southeast corner for a soul sphere. (sector 258)

Trivia

• The music is a MIDIfied version of "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis. The version taken for the mod uses a Telephone Ring (GM 125) instrument early in the song. It is unclear what this is supposed to represent in the original song, and it seems to cause issues with Doom's sound engine. Using DOSBox's in-built Sound Blaster synth, either a high-pitched ringing can be heard instead of music, or the game/DOSBox will crash. Under General MIDI/Sound Canvas modes, the game seems to run fine, which is why the bug is more likely to be with a missing patch in Doom's DMXOPL bank or a problem with DOSBox Sound Blaster support in general.
