  • You must use the console commands dnclip and dnshowmap.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Open the map (the one with textures on it).
  2. 2
    Notice the large purple stream that veers off into a small curvy path.
  3. 3
    Face the direction on the map that has the curvy path on the top.
  4. 4
    Move diagonally up and right.
  5. 5
    While moving on the map, look for a small rectangular room.
  6. 6
    Inside this room, you will find two messages: one on the floor and ceiling, and one on the wall.
  7. 7
    The message on the wall says "TAG IS COOL", referring to DukeTag, a multiplayer method introduced in the Atomic Edition.
  8. 8
    The message on the ceiling says "RSP II DUVAL MAGIC", which refers to Randall S. Pitchford II, nicknamed Duval Magic, a developer who worked on the Atomic Edition levels.
  9. 9
    The text on the ceiling is not sprites so it can be seen from the map screen if you zoom in a lot.
Tips
  • The room at the very beginning of the level is the same room viewed in the introduction movie (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) at the start of Duke Nukem 3D, featuring an operating table.
  • Secret messages providing insight into Duke Nukem 3D's development and multiplayer features.
