Walkthrough[edit]

Map of The Other Side
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]

Because of the death exit in the previous level, this level is played from a pistol start.

Go up the steps to your left, which are guarded by imps (plus a demon on Ultra-Violence (UV) and Nightmare (NM) skill levels), then head east through some blood to find a shotgun at the north end of a collapsed bridge. Continue east up some brown steps defended by imps and a mutant and take an armor at the top, then go north into a cavern with spectres before going west through some imps and demons to find the red skull key sitting under a bloodfall.

Go back down to the collapsed bridge and drop into the blood river below. then head east towards a revenant standing next to a red skull bar, which you can open to find a mancubus guarding a switch that will raise the bridge. Go back to the river and enter the red teleporter to go back up to the bridge, cross it to reach a large gate then press the skull switch to your left to open the gate and reveal an arch-vile. Kill or avoid the monster and enter the dark tunnel behind it to finish the level.

Other points of interest[edit]

After climbing the steps at the start, follow the left-hand rock round to find a chaingun and a box of bullets. Two mutants protect the weapon on UV and NM.

After crossing the bridge, drop off the edge in the north-east corner to land on a berserk pack.

Secrets[edit]

  1. At the red key, find the rock wall to the north-east that looks different (next to an impaled skull) and lower it. You will find a backpack, a box of bullets and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 170)
