Walkthrough

Map of Ars Moriendi

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. Head around the fountain at the start to the northeast side and find the switch. This lowers the west wall which contains rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 60)
2. When you reach the corrupted intersection, head east, and before the tunnel, go through the south wall. Lower the bloody wall to the south to obtain a megaarmor. (sector 107)
3. In the same area, head west to a BFG9000 and an energy cell pack. (sector 266)
