MAP11: Catacombs Below the Skai is the eleventh and final map of DBP25: Dead, But Dreaming. It was designed by dmdr and uses an unknown music track from Beyond Kadath. When using a source port that does not support UMAPINFO, a MIDI rendition of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is played instead.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Open the wall behind the start to get a box of shotgun shells and a super shotgun. (sector 405)
  2. In the northwest room, there is a crescent-shaped switch near the base of the steps that have armor bonuses. Press it, then quickly run south and west up the steps, then north to where a switch was. The hall behind it leads to rockets and a soul sphere. (sector 425)
  3. In the southwest room, lower the north lift and while it is down, lower the west wall to find a megasphere. Note that if you stay in this alcove when the lift rises, you will be stuck. (sector 402)
  4. In the southeast room, raise the bridge going west and look at the torches. Press the eyes to the left of the torches, then quickly cross the bridge again to lowered steps. Head south to get ammo and a backpack. (sector 433)
  5. In the northeast area, head to the south side and southeast. Shoot the eye in the wall there to open a wall nearby with a megasphere. (sector 400)
  6. In the northeast area with two columns, climb the steps until you are near the left column. Use the switch above the column's southwest side, which lowers the other column. This has a soul sphere. (sector 448)
  7. In the purple area at the south end of the hub, use the eyes at the north end of the room, then go northwest and to the inner alcove to the north which has an invulnerability. (sector 407)
