Walkthrough

Map of Platzen Karten

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

Exit the bathroom, picking up the shotgun, green armor, and backpack, then turn right. Open the last door on the right in the passenger car to find the yellow keycard. Use it to open the northern door, which leads to the bar car. In the bar car, you will find the super shotgun and the blue keycard on the far table. The next passenger car contains red keycard inside the back room with curtains. Open the red door to enter the storage section of the train. Move forward to reach the second-to-last car, which contains a 30-second door and light resistance. Enter the train control room, kill the rapid fire trooper, and press the switch to exit the level.

Other points of interest

At the very start of the level, if you go left and jump off the train, dying in the process, you will be teleported to a secret room displaying the text PUSSY after a few seconds.

Secrets

1. In the storage room, go over the southeast crates to get rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 1232)
