Inaccessible chamber on the NW outer wall in BLOODSEA.WAD (original) (raw)

Inaccessible secret chamber on an exterior wall in Master Levels map Bloodsea Keep (PC version and accurate ports).

When you first appear on this level, you'll be at the south end of the map, and you'll be facing northeast.

This map is dominated by a single large, main structure. Along the outside west wall, near the structure's northwest corner, is a 5-sided protrusion. This is the western half of a large chamber, which contains one of the 4 "official" (score-affecting) Secret areas on this map.

In Single-player and Cooperative-mode games, access to this chamber depends on the death of a nearby Mancubus: When that monster dies the walls surrounding that chamber drop down, allowing access.

Note however that this monster only appears at Skill levels 3 and up, which means that this chamber will remain closed in Single and Co-op games played at lower Skills.

(In the PS3/PSN version the chamber cannot be opened at any time in Single-player or Co-op games, due to an error that was introduced when porting the original PC map.)

In all versions of Bloodsea Keep, that area can be accessed during Deathmatch games (at any Skill level) since a player spawn point exists within the chamber, as well as a switch that will open the exterior wall segments.
