Map of Lyar

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. At the north end, go to the two mancubus towers to the west and go to the south side of the south tower. Use the section with a lighter gray tile to lower the pillar with the megasphere. (sector 116)
2. Open a wall north of the red skull key to find a health bonus and a switch. (sector 5954)
3. After using the red switch near the blue key, return to the south side and take the lift back up. Run north and east to a new closet. Inside, use the northwest switch to open a wall to the south with health bonuses and a computer area map. (sector 3555)
4. Drop off the north side of the platform with the blue key and go across the platforms to a teleporter. Take this to get to the southwest arena. (sector 12406)
