Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Living Lands
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[edit]

At the start, go forward and turn right past the raised bars. Follow the path until you reach an outside area. Go for the super shotgun ahead and turn right, climb the stairs and turn right again to find a switch. Flip it and go through the bars nearby. Go around the nukage pool to another switch. Press it and return to the location of the previous switch to find three stone platforms have raised, allowing you to cross to where a dead marine is. As you approach the corpse the wall to your left will lower, revealing a room containing a radiation shielding suit.

Collect it, move past the dead marine and turn left. Go through the nukage to find the blue key. The wall to its right will start to lower revealing the main area. Continue straight ahead from the opening and go left when you are near another dead marine. Go through the blue bars, move forward and climb up the stairs. Go left, move past the impaled corpse inside the tunnel and approach the flaming barrel. In the intersection near the barrel turn right and use the switch. Turn around, pick up the red key and go straight ahead until you are at the top of the stairs. Turn left, go through the red door and flip the switch in front. Turn around and you should see a wall lowering to your right. Beyond this opening you can spot the exit portal straight ahead but there is a gap in the way, so turn right and follow the pathway to a switch. Press it to bridge the gap, enabling you to reach the exit portal.

Secrets[edit]

  1. In the main area, go to the southeast corner to find a berserk pack. (sector 55)

Bugs[edit]

The tunnel leading to the blue key has a flat bleed on the ceiling.

When the final button to the exit has been pressed, the candle (thing 53) in the far south will float.
