Map of Corpse of Cthulhu

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 cave with the super shotgun, open the wall southwest of the steps to get a soul sphere. (sector 131)
2. In the easternmost cave, head south of the area with chaingunners and look north through a small hole. Shoot the eye here to lower the east wall, where you can now get a megaarmor. (sector 166)
3. In the destroyed cathedral, open a wall on the east side just south of the entrance to find energy cells and a BFG9000. (sector 227)
4. Leave the cathedral to the northwest once you are able to. Head east to get to a soul sphere. (sector 413)
