Walkthrough

Map of Death March

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 blood pit where the yellow key is, go to the southeast and follow the blood to health bonuses, a medikit, and partial invisibility. (sector 456)
2. A room on the west side has blood and two pillars, one of which has a super shotgun and the other is a secret with an invulnerability. To get the invulnerability, go to the pillar that has a chaingunner and jump to the alcove to the east with a radiation suit. Use the east wall here for a teleporter to the invulnerability. (sector 259)
3. At the northwest blood room, open the wall to the north and jump there, then use the wall behind it to find a medikit and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 856)
4. When you reach the switch northeast of the big room with the blood well, a wall to the southwest will lower. Quickly get to this wall before it rises to pick up a soul sphere. (sector 158)
5. Use the switch mentioned in the previous secret, then head to the small room to the south of the big room. You can access the megaarmor here. (sector 109)
6. In the room to the west that opens when you pick up the plasma gun, use the metal wall between the large faces to find a teleporter. Take it to a courtyard where you can get rockets, ammo clips, and health bonuses. (sector 325)
7. When you take the teleporter out of that courtyard, another wall opens. Look north and open the door for a teleporter leading back to just after the yellow door. (sector 731)
8. At the east end of the map, approach the switch on the pillar for the walls around you to open, then head west and use the switch here. Go all the way east to get a medikit. The walls open up revealing chaingunners and stimpacks. (sector 691)
9. See Secret #8. (sector 700)
10. See Secret #8. (sector 688)
11. As you head north along the gray hall at the east end of the map, the surrounding walls will open up. Head behind the left wall and use the switch to open a wall further to the east, which will lead to various supplies in that area including a rocket launcher and a megasphere. (sector 628)
