Walkthrough[edit]

Essentials[edit]

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Go through the first cave until you get to the torch. Go through the wall west of it to get energy cells and a plasma gun. (sector 46)
  2. West of the red door, use the metal wall in the northwest corner to get stimpacks. (sector 316)
  3. In the southwest section, head to the northeast wall and use it to find a switch. This lowers a section of the east rock, which has a soul sphere. (sector 439)

Bugs[edit]

A revenant (thing 125) has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level. It is at the same spot as a mancubus on skills 4-5, so probably was intended to appear on skills 1-3.
