Description

According to the Hell Revealations infopack:

A direct follow up/homage to one of HRT’s most infamous and hated levels. Yes, I am the only person on earth who genuinely likes this level, but I wanted to make something that encompassed how I felt when I played it for myself, and make it in a way that I think other people will enjoy too. The midi really helped me figure out where I wanted to go with the map, it's a very calm and sombre piece and I think it fits the quiet parts of this map wonderfully.

I hope you enjoy what I’ve made! Of all the maps I've made, this one's easily my favourite. :)

Walkthrough

Map of The Inmost Dens IV

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. After climbing the tower behind the yellow door, go on the bridge and look west. Shoot the switch and jump down to the east to get a megasphere. (sector 158)
2. At the same tower, make a running jump southwest from the top of the steps so that you go out the window. You will find an invulnerability. (sector 573)
3. Head north from the bridge and at the turn, open the west wall to get soul spheres and energy cell packs. (sector 195)
4. Keep going and go to the two bridges, crossing the first one. Head west, then use the lamp to the south to find a hidden passage leading around to a megasphere. (sector 282)
5. At the bridges surrounding the blue key building, head to the west side. Find a large wooden crate and shoot it open to find a teleporter that takes you to a BFG9000. (sector 898)
6. After the spiral staircase with health bonuses, climb two more sets of steps and go to two bloodfalls. Head through the east one to get a megasphere. (sector 710)
7. In the library before the red key, head to the middle and press the southwest switch. This opens two columns to the north and south which contain soul spheres. (sector 792)
8. In the area past the red bars, at the east ledge, go to the northeast switch, press it, then head back to the bars that lowered. Get on the east wall and hug it as you go north, entering a room that has a megasphere. (sector 333)
9. In the same room, get on the steps just west of the east ledge and head south on the wall near the steps. Look west and shoot the skull switch in the distance, which raises a step to the cyberdemon pit. Here, you can get the invulnerability. (sector 233)
