Walkthrough

Map of Demon Core

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 room, get to the south switch and press it, which lowers the wall with candles near the entrance. Go to the monitor behind the wall and use it, then return to the hub to get a soul sphere. (sector 116)
2. Take the door east of the hub and descend the steps until you find a monitor in the middle. Use it, then run back up the steps and to the lowering block. Ride it up and go north to get backpacks. (sector 281)
3. In Secret #2, a switch is tucked in the northwest corner. This lowers the BFG9000. (sector 244)
