Map of Plunge

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. In the grid area with all the gray crates, lower them and get to the southeast crate. Ride all the way up to get a megasphere. (sector 586)
2. Lower the small step to the megasphere at Secret #1 to discover a lift leading to an invulnerability. (sector 587)
3. In the red key area, go to the east side with a bright square and go to its east side. Run across the square, then run all the way west and into a secret room containing a chainsaw, a chaingun, ammo clips, armor bonuses, a box of ammo, and medikits. (sector 590)
4. At the crate hub, open the north bars with the red key and use the wall behind the throne to find some steps to a computer area map. (sector 569)
5. In the crate hub, open the south bars with the blue key and go through the waterfall to find a berserk pack. (sector 86)
6. Head west in Secret #5 to find another passage leading to a BFG9000. (sector 90)
7. Open the yellow door and use the terminal to the south after opening the door. Leave and head around to the west side past all the trees and stalagmites. Open the three key doors to access health bonuses, energy cells, a soul sphere, an invulnerability, and a megaarmor. (sector 641)
