Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Prison Escape
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, turn around and the door in front will open automatically. Go through it and ride two lifts down: the first one to your right, and the other one in front of you as you exit the first one. Turn left, make a hairpin turn to the right and move past the unmarked red door to find a door. Enter the room, grab the blue key at the end and ride the previous lift up. Make a hairpin turn to the right, open the door and pick up the red key inside. Return to the unmarked red door seen earlier and go through it. Climb up the stairs, follow the dark corridor to the end and drop down to the ground. Follow the path as it circles around the prison and use the last door to exit the level.

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Just before grabbing the blue key, press a misaligned part of the northern wall to find the yellow key. (sector 299)
  2. After grabbing the yellow key from secret #1, come back to the starting area and open the only yellow door to the west to find BFG9000, an energy cell, and one of the easter eggs from the author of the map. (sector 297)

Bugs[edit]

  1. The infinitely tall hanging corpses in the last part of the map will force you to noclip.
  2. Sector 298 — the secret door to the yellow key — can be opened from outside, but if run inside and the door is closed, one cannot get out, because linedef 896 has no action.
