Other points of interest[edit]


  1. Open the first door to the north and climb the steps. You will hear a lift lower. Return to the previous area and step on the slightly-lowered window on the west side of the area, which will allow you to reach armor bonuses and a partial invisibility. (sector 173)
  2. On the path to the blue key, you will be going on a curved hallway. At the center of this hallway, look to the south wall and press on the wall with the light on it to lower the opposite wall. Climb the steps to reach a maze-like area where you can get a medikit, a megaarmor, a box of shotgun shells, a box of rockets, as well as reach a teleporter to the blue key room. (sector 196)
  3. In the hallways at the east end, a big wall will eventually lower. When it lowers, step over the wall to hear a lift lower, then run to the south room where a medikit was on a metal wall. The metal wall will have lowered briefly, quickly enter the passage here to get a soul sphere. (sector 240)


Three health bonuses (Things 138, 139 and 179) behind the southern blue door have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
