Walkthrough

Map of The Three Buffets

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 middle of the map, head east into the cave and before the brown step, lower the south wall to find a medikit and a soul sphere. (sector 69)
2. In the south area, use the red skull switch at the south end. In the southwest area with damaging blood, press the red skull switch here as well. These two switches will open the south passage at the east side of the map. Take this passage around to get a megasphere. (sector 149)
3. At the northwest end, head into the damaging blood and the megaarmor will lower with a switch leading back out. (sector 159)

Bugs

A medikit (thing 245) on the ground, touching the northeasternmost part of the moving red wall structure, will snap up to rest on top of the structure when the red wall (sector 6) just south of it moves.
