Essentials[edit]

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. At the start of the level, press on the lightning bolt panel in the northeastern corner of the area to find a box of bullets and a backpack. (sector 373)
  2. At the entrance into the room with the red skull, a portion of the stone wall at the south is covered in moss. Press it to find a chainsaw and a partial invisibility. (sector 701)

Bugs[edit]

In the red key area, three linedefs trigger bars to block the exit, while the switch to remove the bars can only be activated once. Re-triggering the bars after the switch has been pressed leaves the player stuck.

Two buttons in the north have walk-over triggers placed in front of them (linedefs 2450, 2485) without the pass use flag set, making them block attempts at using the buttons until the player gets closer than normally required.
