Walkthrough

Map of NEFERTITIES

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

Grab the super shotgun and proceed forward until you reach a spot with a double chaingunner. The red skull key is located in the western part of the level, while the yellow skull key can be found in the eastern section. Each key is near a pair of interconnected teleporters marked with the FIREBLU texture. Once both keys have been collected, return to the center of the level. A gate to the north requires both skull keys to open. Enter a small arena containing a plasma rifle, two energy cell packs, two kamikadze enemies, and one afrit. After the afrit is defeated, a trigger lowers the gate to the north.

Climb the pyramid ahead until you reach a 30-second timed door, which leads to the level's exit.

Secrets

1. Enter the fire pillar at the start to get a megasphere. (sector 462)
