Map of Interdimensional Control Centers

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.

Essentials

At the start, descend through either set of stairs, then go down another set of stairs nearby. Move to the opposite corner of this room and go down the stairs to your left. Continue forward, then turn left and flip the switch on an alcove to your left. Go to the south side of the outside area and collect the yellow key on an alcove to the north. Climb up the stairs leading inside, then go up the stairs to the north and open the yellow bar on the opposite corner of the room. Press the switch behind it, then climb up the stairs to the starting room and go down the stairs to your immediate left. Grab the blue key on the opposite corner of this room then return outside and follow either path to find a blue door. Open it, then open the door ahead, up the stairs and follow either path to the sides to reach a room containing the red key. Return to the entrance of this area, then open the red door straight ahead. Enter the teleporter in front to exit the level.

Secrets

1. The southern part of the southwestern corner of the outside area is detached. Press it to reveal four boxes of shotgun shells, four boxes of bullets, four boxes of rockets, two energy cells (or either two energy cell packs on skills 1-2, or an energy cell and an energy cell pack on skill 3), and a supercharge (or either an invulnerability on skills 1-2, or a megasphere on skill 3). (sector 134)
