MAP15: Son of Man is the fifteenth map of Scientist 2. It was designed by Roland van der Velden and uses a MIDI rendition of the Dream Theater song "The Crimson Sunrise" as its music track.

Walkthrough[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. In the first hallway, go to the dead pinky in the blood pool and open the wall next to it to get a backpack. (sector 414)
  2. Enter the building with two green pillars nearby and in the dark entrance hall, press the red banner in the southwestern corner of the area to find a medikit and a computer area map. (sector 412)

Bugs[edit]

Activating the secret #2 door lowers every sector with tag 0 like lifts, causing massive deformation of architecture across the entire map for a few seconds. One possible issue this can lead to, is that once it is activated, the player can wander into the nearby cacodemon courtyard, run to the lowered west wall (sector 178), and become softlocked.
