Complete Doom II Downtown walkthrough including secrets, Invulnerability Orb location, and Mega Armor.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, turn around for some armor pickups.
  2. 2
    Engage the two Arachnatrons in the building straight ahead using a Plasma Gun or rockets.
  3. 3
    Proceed straight, ignoring Revenants on the left for now, and kill a third Arachnatron past the second large building on the right.
  4. 4
    Locate another Arachnatron to the west; you can hunt down the second one later.
  5. 5
    Head north to find an Invulnerability Orb in an alleyway.
  6. 6
    With the Invulnerability Orb active, run south to the "Revenant Building" and quickly kill all Revenants using rockets, SSG, or Cell Weapons.
  7. 7
    Hunt down remaining Arachnatrons and then focus on Cacodemons, drawing them north to a safer area.
  8. 8
    Clean up any remaining Cacodemons and then use your Shotgun or Chaingun on Imps found in buildings and on top of a center building.
  9. 9
    Explore carefully for ammo and health scattered on the streets, especially in the northeast corner near teleporter pads and northern alleyways.
  10. 10
    In the northwest corner, grab the Plasma Gun located under a crusher; be ready to run.
  11. 11
    Pick up any Invisibility Orb you find, particularly when fighting Imps.
  12. 12
    To find ammo, head west of the Revenant Platform to a building with Imps and a Box of Shells.
  13. 13
    If low on health, find the Giant Arrow on the southern side pointing to the "Arrow Building." Near this building is a Berserk Pack; picking it up releases Lost Souls from a nearby opening.
  14. 14
    For armor, go to the north part of the map. Left of the "teleporter area," examine the north wall of a building (middle portion, near ammo) to find a secret room with a Mega Armor inside. This is [SECRET 1/8].
  15. 15
    Enter the "Arrow Building" and go upstairs. Use your chaingun to pick off Imps to the right from the upper platform before dropping down.
  16. 16
    Make your way right in the room filled with boxes, using your shotgun or chainsaw to kill Imps around corners.
  17. 17
    Be ready for three Pinky Demons that appear after clearing the room.
  18. 18
    Pick up ammo in this area, including some requiring you to climb boxes.
  19. 19
    In the southwest corner, find a switch on the wall to open [SECRET 2/8], which contains extra ammo and health.
  20. 20
    Go back inside and to the right, lower a box, and click another switch. This raises stairs to a teleporter.
  21. 21
    Use the teleporter to reach the top of a wall near the entrance. Run straight ahead to land in the building where you shot the initial Arachnatrons. Here you will find a Supercharge orb and a box of bullets. This is [SECRET 3/8].
  22. 22
    Return to the "Arrow Building" and drop down the northwest hole. Kill a Cacodemon using a Chainsaw and ride the lift to the top.
  23. 23
    Be ready for four Imps who attack immediately upon reaching the top of the lift.
  24. 24
    To the right of the lift, go around the corner for ammo. Dropping down here leads to the streets (where the box of shells was).
  25. 25
    To the left of the lift, drop down a hole near a teleporter. Interact with a face on the wall near the teleporter for [SECRET 4/8], which yields a box of shells.
Tips
  • Save state frequently to explore the map and get your bearings while maintaining health and ammo.
  • Use the Invulnerability Orb to quickly clear the "Revenant Building."
  • Draw Cacodemons to the north where it is slightly safer when your orb runs out.
  • Grab the Berserk Pack in the "Arrow Building" only when prepared for the ensuing Lost Souls or if critically low on health.
  • When grabbing the Plasma Gun in the northwest corner, be ready to run due to the crusher.
  • Use Invisibility Orbs when fighting Imps to make their shots more likely to miss.
  • Mega Armor [SECRET 1/8]
  • Extra ammo and health [SECRET 2/8]
  • Supercharge orb and box of bullets [SECRET 3/8]
  • Box of shells [SECRET 4/8]
