Essentials
This map has one key.

Go forward and take a shotgun in the dark room. Right there, press the switch to lower the wall. In the next area, turn left and walk the stairs up to a wall which will open. Kill the imps in the room. Here, you need to open another switch to proceed, however the traps containing enemies will open. Knock them off first. Explore the rooms they were in to get various items, including berserk. Now, press the mentioned switch. Three guards will be here and two imps or chaingunners in the dark area. Turn right and go straight to another room which is similar to the previous one. Knock off the enemies. Enter a small wooden closet here which contains a skull switch. Press the switch to unlock the yellow key room. Go back and you will notice this room. Take the yellow key and drop to the outside area.

In the courtyard you dropped to, walk upstairs to the yellow door ahead. Behind, collect shells and press the switch, and you will be lowered to the ground instantly. Ahead is a room with orange lamps that you need. Kill the enemies within this room first. Head there and press the glowing skull switch.

Now, you have unlocked the exit. Return to the courtyard in which large doors are opened. Kill the enemies and follow the dark path to the south and you will complete this level.

Official

 * 1) In the first courtyard where soulsphere can be seen, near three columns that stand on the slime, open the wall to the right. Take the rocket launcher and two rockets.  (sector 262)
 * 2) Taking the soulsphere in the first courtyard is marked as secret but you cannot reach it right from here. From the first courtyard, head to the second one to the south. Climb the stairs up and turn left to the corridor. Turn right to the balcony-like compartment. To the north there is the second balcony which conceals the teleporter to the secret but first you have to press the button here to temporarily open the teleporter. Turn right and press the skull button. Quickly run to the northern balcony via the steps in the corridor. Enter the teleporter and you will be brought right on the soulsphere.  (sector 34)

Non-official

 * Unreachable secret: When you start the level, if you slightly turn right, you will see a BFG9000 in the far southwest. There is no way to get it without cheating, however.
