Walkthrough

Map of Dark Cave

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. Open the way north of the starting point. In this room, you will be attacked by demons who show up from the flanking walls to the southwest and southeast. Go through the southwest wall to find ammo clips and shotgun shells. (sector 29)
2. Go through the southeast wall to find more ammo clips and shotgun shells. (sector 30)
3. A switch is tucked in a light on the southeast wall in the same room as above. Use it to open up the north wall where a cacodemon guards a plasma gun and energy cell packs. (sector 45)
