Walkthrough

Map of Gorgeous Nightmare

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 first arena, head to the northeast corner and open the east wall to get a berserk pack. (sector 140)
2. In the second area, head behind the five pillars with candles and take the teleporter to get a soul sphere, a plasma gun, energy cells, and shotgun shells. (sector 302)
3. In the third area, head up to the north ledge and when the east side opens up, go there and open the east wall to get boxes of rockets. (sector 329)
4. In the third area, go to the south wall and find a recessed tile. Use it, then when you open the door to the area to the west, you can get a backpack to the north. (sector 360)
5. West of Secret #4, lower the pillar to get a megaarmor. (sector 322)
6. In the metal area with the staircase, make sure the stairs are still up, then climb to the top and face the evil eye to the west. Shoot it, then open the large compartment to the north. In the northeast corner is a soul sphere and a teleporter. (sector 613)
7. In the checkered hallway, in the middle, look at the rightmost cage to the north and press the switch on the east side. Once you open the north area, you can enter the east alcove to get a megasphere. (sector 1487)

Bugs

Two revenants (Things 92 and 93) have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
