Walkthrough

Map of Do You Believe?

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. Once you have the black skull key, return to the northernmost region and take the right path, opening it with the three skull switches and dropping down. Find the black skull switch at the northeast side and use it, then return to the starting arena. You will find a soul sphere and boxes of rockets. (sector 590)
2. Once you have the purple skull key, return to the northernmost region and take the right path, opening it with the three skull switches and dropping down. Find the purple skull switch at the northeast side and use it, then return to the starting arena. You will find a megasphere and energy cell packs. (sector 591)
3. The area on the west side of the main part of the map has several switches. The two yellow switches are lift switches, the one on the left lowers the side platforms and the right one lowers the walls in the back. The leftmost purple switch raises the side platforms, while the right one raises the middle platforms, then drops them down again. To get this secret, press on the leftmost purple switch to raise the side platforms, then the right purple switch and then quickly the left purple switch, which will raise the side platforms rather high. Then press the left yellow switch to lower them, wait a bit, then press the right yellow switch and quickly get on either side platform to rise up. Jump west and get behind the walls before they rise as well to reach two black skull keys and energy cell packs. When you do that, go to the south wall and use it, then stand on it as it rises up. Press the switch to the south, then drop back down to the west and run through the window to get a megasphere. (sector 608)
4. When you have a black key (of either kind), head to the southwest part of the starting arena and use the black switch to access the next teleporter, which will allow you to reach a secret arena with demons, imps, a cyberdemon (two on Hurt Me Plenty or higher), and Hell knights. (sector 1248)
