Walkthrough

Map of Dark Crypt

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. In the starting room, go to the northeast column and lower it from the north side to get a megasphere. (sector 11)
2. Open the yellow door and descend the steps. Go to the north end of the steps and press it to find a secret passage with energy cells and a plasma gun. (sector 58)

Bugs

When the walls lower to reveal the yellow key and large bodies of damaging blood, a radiation suit (thing 42) is intended to be available. This suit snaps up to a ledge above and becomes impossible to obtain unless a nearby Hell knight walks into it while the walls are in motion to trigger the flickering glitch to bring it back down.
