E3M9 - THE DWELLER IN DARKNESS (no sword/crystal)
There is 1 secret on this level. No sword and no crystal mean the hard way.
1).0:00 - turn around and jump from the middle of the platform, but make sure to go straight the whole time. You'll end up entering the teleporter. It's a secret area. Teleport back now.
Soap: 0:21 - before teleporting to the main arena, pick up the soap on the right side of the path.
This level is insanely hard if you try to beat it without sword and crystal of madness. Try to stay focused, strafe in circles, jump off the arena if you think there is no way to avoid getting hit, and don't panic!
E3M9 - THE DWELLER IN DARKNESS (sword + untouchable)
There is 1 secret on this level. Sword means the easy way.
1).0:00 - turn around and jump from the middle of the platform, but make sure to go straight the whole time. You'll end up entering the teleporter. It's a secret area. Push the crystal inside the teleporter. Teleport back now.
Soap: 0:21 - before teleporting to the main arena, pick up the soap on the right side of the path.
This level is not really hard if you beat it with sword and crystal of madness. Use the crystal as soon as you enter the area, keep blocking the bullets with your sword and wait for enemies to kill each other. Try to stay focused, strafe in circles, jump off the arena if you think there is no way to avoid getting hit, and don't panic!
E3M10 - DUSK
There is 1 secret on this level.
Soap: 0:50 - go inside the main house. You'll see 4 little lockers in the second room. Open the last two. Grab the soap from the last one.
1) 3:45 - the weirdest secret in the game. Follow my trick to get it, but you won't get the Untouchable reward. As you can see, I didn't get any damage because I did the final shot mid-air. But still, getting 0 damage counts as getting hit there...
You can actually get it before the final boss fight, but you'll have to pray for good RNG to be able to boost yourself back with the crossbow without getting hit. If you want to get Completionist and Untouchable on this level on DUSKMARE without saves, good luck.

I wish you had more pics instead of just the commentary and video, but what a set of videos it is. Definitely a goated guide and great job on the playthrough.

the secret i just mentioned also makes the level easier as it gives you a good vantage point on most of the enemies where you can shoot them but they cant shoot back

the trick you used to get the "you arent supposed to be here" secret in "down on the farm" also works in "the dim slough" and in "ghost town" if, from the start you turn left and go staight till you reach a wall there is a narrow alley with a truck in it on the edge of the map.from the building next to it(there is a ladder) you can jump to the low brick wall follow the wall to the nearby staircase and there is a hole in the maps border with the same message and a large area you can explore(its clearly intentional as the hole has a lava texture framing the hole on the outside)

Fantastic guide! Helped a ton! :VBCOOL:

bro i really need you to understand that "when you kill several enemies" is not a valid indicator of where the secret is
most of the descriptions could use more clarity, and more absolute directions instead of relative (e.g. "return to the start of the level" instead of "turn around and go left")
