Secrets[edit]

  1. In the red key room, the easternmost column has a switch on its northern side. Flipping it lowers the westernmost column, which has a teleporter. Enter to find rockets. (sector 67)
  2. Once you exit the starting room with the blue key, open the wall straight ahead to find an invulnerability. (sector 108)
  3. In the octagonal room with the arch-vile in the middle, go to the southeast corner and open the wall with pipes on it. You can fall onto a radiation suit below. (sector 142)
  4. North of the octagonal room are two doors. Take the left one and go west to a room with a pit. Fall in, and then there will be a dark arrow pointing at a wall (just above the wall is a wall with pipes, for reference). If you use this wall, you will trigger a lift, and there is an opening halfway up the lift you can reach. This functions as a shortcut to the cyberdemon arena. (sector 166)

Bugs[edit]

The teleporter in the red key area which is directly behind the key only works on Hurt Me Plenty or higher. Players on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower will be stuck in this area unless they cheat.
