Secrets[edit]

  1. Open the yellow door and go down the hall, stopping at the first door you see. Look through the hole in the door to spot a hanging body. Shoot this body (it functions like a Commander Keen), then go back through the yellow door and into the main room. Enter the southwest alcove to find a megaarmor and a soul sphere. (sector 249)
  2. In the big slaughter room with the conveyor belt, get to the southeast corner and press the rightmost switch. This will open up several areas in the level, including the northern room with imps and a yellow key. Next to the yellow key is a pickaxe. Press use on it to "grab" it. Now return to the high ledge from where you entered the area and go to the southwest corner towards the cracked brown wall. By "using" the pickaxe, you will open the wall for a rocket launcher. (sector 554)
  3. Open the yellow door and go all the way down the hall, making a turn south to reach a darkening cavern. As you move southward, hug the left (east) wall. You will wind up in a small alcove with a number of supplies. (sector 725)
