Walkthrough

Map of Stinksump Swamp

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets.

Essentials

Use the three switches in the huts at the start of the level to unlock the swamp key. This will allow you to open the gate leading to the north of the map. Past the gate, you will find the cave key waiting on a ledge. This will unlock the gate to the Forest of Gloom hub, as well as a gate inside the swamp caves that will allow you to get your second tier weapon.

After getting the horn key from the Village of Loneraven, you can return here through the horn key gate in the Forest of Gloom to reach an emerald planet on a high ledge. After that, drop down to the swamp and open a second horn key gate to rescue a frogman. This will allow you to reach the second secret where the first segment for the Bloodscourge can be found.

The second emerald planet can be reached after finding the Silver Graveyard Key in Bloodwind Castle and solving the puzzle inside the Forgotten Graveyard.

Secrets

Official

1. In the area with the three huts, if you go behind the southeastern one, you can find a mystic urn. (thing 197)
2. After getting the horn key and lowering the bars in the northern cave, you can rescue a frogman who tells you of a great temple to the south. To reach it, simply jump into the slime in the south of the map and wade far enough until you reach the temple, where several goodies and enemies await, including the first segment of the Bloodscourge. (sector 794)

Non-official

• A secret troll doll can be found behind a shelf in the shack, next to the table with a clever stuck in it. Peek behind the shelf and use the Use button to grab the doll. (thing 2181)
