Map of House of Shadows

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials

At the start, follow the path, past the blue door to find a door. Continue, at the next intersection go right and keep going until you find a switch. Flip it then backtrack a bit and open the door in front. Proceed forwards, ignore the red door for now and enter the door nearby. Go down the stairs and face right: press the switch to the right, lowering the blue key then ride the lift in front. Go straight ahead and you'll be by the blue door again. Open it and follow the path until you reach an intersection. Go forward and make a hairpin turn to the right to find a switch. The wall to your right will lower revealing the red key and a door further to the right. Open the door and proceed through the strobing light corridors, minding the crushers. At the intersection go forward and turn right to reach the red door again. Enter it and you'll spot some platforms perpetually rising and lowering. Drop into the blood pit to your left and ride the last platform to reach the stairs leading to the exit teleporter.

Secrets

1. Before a blood pool, there is a trap lift with a heavy weapon dude down. Open the wall on the left for the super shotgun. (sector 171)
2. In the trapped room with the red key and the partial invisibility, open a wall near a box of shotgun shells for a supercharge and a light amplification visor in difficulties 1-2. (sector 172)
3. Before the first crusher, open a wall on your left for the megaarmor. (sector 174)
