Essentials[edit]
Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- In the south maze, go to the south end that has a berserk pack, then move north until you find a green face to the east. Press it, return to where the berserk pack was, and run southwest to get the soul sphere. (sector 18)
- At the northeast end of the south maze, head west towards the barricade with the gray water and use the west wall to find a computer area map. (sector 3251)
- In the north maze, go to the westernmost end and use the green face, revealing a teleporter behind you. Take it to teleport to a megaarmor (green armor on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 834)
- Go to the southeast end of the north maze, then run west up some steps to a green face. Press it, head east, south, and west to a soul sphere. (sector 549)
- In the room after the yellow switch doors, use the switch in the middle to open the northwest door. Climb the steps, turn back towards the switch, and shoot the gargoyle switch above it. This opens alcoves to the north and west in the room, containing a megaarmor and partial invisibility. (sector 1757)
- In the arena area, the steps at the north side lead up to the top, and the left (north) wall there has a hidden button you can shoot to the northwest. You can either arch-vile jump to this wall, or jump southeast from the north cave (which you access by taking the teleporter in the central tower). Shoot the button, then drop to the east and go all the way southeast to get energy cell packs and a megasphere. (sector 3090)
Bugs[edit]
A stimpack (thing 219) has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
