MAP25: Citadel Farewell is the twenty-fifth map of Blitz: Race Against Time. It was designed by Nick Kurgin (CblBOPOTKA) and uses the music track "Metallurgy" by James Paddock (Jimmy).

Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Citadel Farewell
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]

The player starts locked inside the southwestern section of the citadel. Step onto a brick that has fallen from a window and shoot the switch located to the north. Pick up the chaingun and a box of bullets, then proceed to the eastern part of the citadel. Ascend a zigzagging staircase until you reach the super shotgun and a switch that opens the gate in the southern section of the fortress. Exit into the outer courtyard and continue toward the eastern part of the level, where a set of 30-second timed gates is located.

After passing through the gates, pick up the berserk. The boat, which serves as the level's exit, is located to the north.

Other points of interest[edit]

Head toward the southeastern tower and climb inside. There you will find shotgun shells, a clip, and a backpack.

Enter the northeastern tower and follow the corridor guarded by three shotgun guys until you reach the northwestern tower, which contains an arachnotron (on Hurt me plenty and above) and a rocket launcher. A soul sphere can be seen ahead.

Pay attention to the corridor with the shotgun guys, you can find two health bonuses and a missing fence. Drop down through the gap and proceed to the eastern exit of the level.

Behind the citadel, in the western section of the outer courtyard, there are a box of rockets, a box of shells, and a super shotgun.

Near the main eastern gates, in the northeastern area, there is a door. A box of bullets is located on top of the nearby wall.

In the southeastern corner of the outer courtyard, there is a stepped staircase leading upwards. Climb it to find a box of rockets.
