Map of Dark Retrospect

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.

Other points of interest

In order to acquire the Artifact of Mind on this level, you must first kill the pain elementals in the final room. Once you've done so, backtrack to the start of the map, and you will notice a switch is now present just below the starting point. This switch temporarily opens a door in a cave. Press the switch, then quickly head west and through the door and drop to the right into the water at the end of the bridge, then up into the cave entrance and quickly to the left. If done quick enough, you'll be able to grab the Artifact.

Secrets

1. In the south, on the walkway with the two mancubi, walk through the fake wall to the right to obtain a megasphere. (sector 705)
2. In the maze to the north, going all the way to the east and up the stairs will net you a chainsaw. (sector 227)
