Walkthrough[edit]

Map of UAC Nukage Areas, Waste Tunnels/Drainage Tunnels
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]

At the start, go forward while hugging the left wall and open the second door you find. Go down the stairs in front and open the door to the left. Go down the stairs to your left to collect the blue key, then return to the nukage area. As you exit through the first door you entered, cross the nukage flow to your right and continue right, hugging the left wall until you reach the blue door. Go through it, make a hairpin turn to the left and flip the switch. Exit this room and climb both sets of stairs to your left up. Follow the path to a room with a nukage flow: go to the right here and press the switch on the right wall to lower the lift, then step on it to exit the level.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Press on the wall to your left (northwest) when you are at the sixth step going down on the stairway leading to the blue key. Behind the wall is a small room with a teleporter. (sector 112) It will take you to the room containing a megasphere that also overlooks the blue key area.
  2. After opening the blue door, press the wall to your right (west) to reveal a stairway going down. (sector 146) At the bottom of the stairs, you will find 4 shotgun shells, a partial invisibility, a computer area map, a rocket launcher, a supercharge, a light amplification visor and a switch. There's also a rocket at the top of the stairs.
  3. Press the switch mentioned in secret #2. Exit the blue door, and you will notice that the nukage fall in front of you (north) has lowered, revealing a BFG9000. (sector 153)
