MAP08: Forbidden Sepulchre is the eighth map of DBP25: Dead, But Dreaming. It was designed by dmdr and uses the music track "Suspense" by Robert Prince, from Doom. When using a source port that does not support UMAPINFO, a MIDI rendition of "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer is played instead.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Climb the northwest steps to the area with the chaingun, then backtrack down the steps and quickly run to the west alcove, which will have rockets and a super shotgun. (sector 269)
  2. In the central lava area, go to the fenced-in section. Doing this opens the two closets below at the northeast end. Enter the north one and flip the switch on the east wall, then head to the east closet and get the rocket launcher and a box of rockets. (sector 237)
  3. In the north area with waterfalls, use the waterfall north of the door to find rockets and a soul sphere. (sector 239)
  4. At the base of the steps leading to the silver key, look on the west wall and flip the switch, opening a room to the east. Head there to get rockets and an invulnerability. (sector 264)
  5. Entering the other four secrets will open this secret passage, which is in the north closet mentioned in Secret #2. Go there to access the secret exit. (sector 243)
