Secret maps
This level occupies the map slot MAP31. For other maps which occupy this slot, see Category:MAP31.

MAP31: Secret is the first secret map of the megawad Scythe 2. It was designed by Erik Alm and uses the music track HITFLOOR.MID by Music Media Design, a MIDI based on Energizer (Cyber Space mix) by Hit the Floor (a.k.a. Dieter Bohlen) and popularized by MAP01 of DWANGO5. It features several evil marines, and of course it has an entry to the super secret map, MAP32: Super Secret. One advantage of finding the secret levels in Scythe 2 is that the player does not lose his weapons when going into episode 4.

Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Secret
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]

At the start, go up the stairs to your left to grab the red key. Follow the same procedure for the right side to pick up the blue key. Now, face left, go through the opening directly in front and enter the lit room to find the yellow key. Backtrack to the starting area and flip twice all three colored switches. This will raise stairs straight ahead from the start into the exit portal.

Other points of interest[edit]

Accessing the secret exit[edit]

To take the super secret exit, you must obtain all three keys and then get to the alternative exit area in the northwestern part of the map. However, this must be done within 11-12 seconds and requires extreme agility. Otherwise, the secret exit will seal itself off and you will be forced to take the normal exit to MAP16.

Secrets[edit]

  1. The area where you start counts as secret. (sector 8)
