Walkthrough

Map of Escape the Castle

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 second prison cell to the right, you can find a partial invisibility sphere. (thing 20)
2. After getting out of the prison area, go right and open the door, then the door in front of you after that. In this room there are two barrels, and destroying the one on the left lets you open a hidden door containing a berserk. (thing 48)
3. Exit the room and head left, entering another door. This room also contains several barrels. Destroy the last one to the right to open up a hidden door containing a backpack. (sector 584)
4. Now, destroy the barrel next to the one you just blew up, and open up the wall here to reveal a large hidden area. Here you can find the Unmaker, and if you operate the computer screen, you can also obtain the Artifact of Mind. (thing 168)
5. Back to the main path, once you enter the wooden corridor, press the flag on the left to reveal a secret room containing a chaingun, a clip and 4 shotgun shells. (sector 57)
6. Past a few more rooms, when you get to the room with the spectres and shotgunners, press the portrait to the right to access another hidden room, this time containing a rocket launcher and six rockets. (sector 50)
7. Proceed to the exit area, but instead of exiting, press the first portrait to the right. This will open up a hidden area, containing another elevator, and one of the walls in this room can be opened further to reveal a soulsphere. (sector 73)
8. Proceed to the hidden elevator, where you will be taken to a boss arena with the cyberdemon. On the southern wall, press the central brick segment to open up a hidden area containing 29 stimpacks, a plasma gun and 23 energy cells. (sector 553)
9. In the door past the cyberdemon, press the flag immediately to the right for an invulnerability sphere. (sector 541)
