Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Blessed by the Wicked
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]

From the very start, the player is attacked by a mancubus (Hey, not too rough and below) or cyberdemon (Hurt me plenty and above) positioned in a tower, functioning as a turret. Head to the northern part of the hall to collect a blue armor (Hey, not too rough and below) or green armor (Hurt me plenty and above) and a super shotgun, then pass through the archway in the western section of the room. A chaingun can be found near a pain elemental. Proceed to the northern area of the level, where there is a street with a switch, a backpack, seven lost souls (Hurt me plenty and above), four revenants, and one arachnotron. Pressing the switch lowers a teleporter that leads back to the starting area and opens a southern door containing two lost souls.

When you enter the final southern room, move toward the eastern section of the level, where a 30-second timed door leads to the exit.

Other points of interest[edit]

In the northernmost room of the level, a box of bullets (Hurt me plenty and above) can be found behind the ruined western wall, while two clips are located behind the eastern wall.

After pressing the lever in the same room, do not enter the teleporter. Instead, head to the southern part of the level and look for a corridor directly opposite the cyberdemon's tower. There you will find a soul sphere, two boxes of rockets (Hurt me plenty and above), and a rocket launcher.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Enter the red hall before the north area, then use the green torch at the southeast end. Run west into the compartment with an invulnerability. (sector 1066)
  2. At the south end, go to the west wall and go through a wall to the north. Take the teleporter to get a red key. Use it on the west door to get energy cells, a BFG9000, and stimpacks. (sector 1722)
