Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Tanker
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]

You begin near the round funnel on the west side of the tanker. Take the chaingun in front of you then go to the building at the east end of the tanker and go up the stairs on the north side—the door at the top will slide open as you approach it. Kill the waiting Hell knight and shotgun guys, take the blue keycard from the computer console, then go to the central building and pass through either of the doors on the east side. Open the blue door in the middle of the room to face two chaingunners (plus a knight on Hurt Me Plenty skill level or higher), then step round the table to collect the red keycard.

Go back outside and head round to the west side of the central building, then open the red door here to face two demons (or revenants on Ultra-Violence and Nightmare) who are guarding a button. Press the button to lower the wooden crate behind you and reveal a group of enemies along with the yellow keycard, then take the key to the building at the west end of the tanker and open the yellow doors on the north or south sides to access the tanker’s bridge. Go through the door on the west side of the bridge and walk north to a switch, which will lower a barrier that you can see through the window, then go down the steps behind the barrier and flip the switch on the lifeboat at the bottom to end the level.

Other points of interest[edit]

A computer area map can be found on a crate at the south end of the central building.

Secrets[edit]

  1. At the start, go behind the funnel in front of you and use the east side of it to get a partial invisibility. (sector 184)
  2. At the east side of the tanker, find the stack of crates that has several smaller crates at its south-east end. Lower those crates for a megaarmor. (sector 185)
