Map of The River

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. Enter the first building and take the lift up to the south end. Head west from there, entering the cave, then step on the middle platform to open the cave up more. To the west, pick up a medikit, a megaarmor, and a plasma gun. (sector 736)
2. Go through the first building to the other side, then enter the west cave. Head south, then jump to the nukage to the west, going through the slimefall. Get the blur artifact in the middle to open the closets, then go north and around to get a soul sphere. (sector 762)
3. After raising the pillars in the first area, cross them and head west to the steps. Head northwest and then north, then west into the cave. Open the north wall and step to the north to lower. Head behind the lava to access the blue key. (sector 623)
4. At the southeast end, open the south door and enter the room, then use the switch at the southwest end. This will lower the BFG9000 outside. (sector 605)
5. Head north up the ice from Secret #4 and take the lift up. Climb the steps to a soul sphere. (sector 562)
