Secrets

 * 1) At the start, head up the steps and look left. Shoot the switch to open two rooms with health and armor bonuses inside. In the 10th anniversary edition, these two rooms count as separate secrets. (sector 32, plus sector 208 only in 10th ann.ed.)
 * 2) In the northern alcove in Secret #1, press on the north wall to reveal the next secret room, where you can see a BFG9000 and an arrow with the number 5 next to it on the floor. (sector 34 in original ed., sector 37 in 10th ann.ed.)
 * 3) Attempting to grab the BFG9000 in Secret #2 will trigger a crusher that is unavoidable. To survive it, you will have to wait 5 minutes from the start of the level for the wall with the arrow and the 5 to open, then follow the long passage to the invulnerability. Note that this passage counts as the secret, not the BFG9000 or the crusher. Also note that the door will close, and you only have one shot to enter the passage. (sector 38)
 * 4) In the southernmost room, flip either switch to lower a lift, then face south. You will have to make an angled jump to get out of the window and to the outdoor portion. There are several supplies in the northwest corner here. (sector 89)
 * 5) In the southernmost room, flip the left switch and take the lift up. Drop into the nukage and go northeast towards the lift. Flip the switch at the end of this hall, then leave via the door to return back to the southernmost room. Now flip the right switch, take the right lift up, and enter the hall that is now open. Flip this switch to lower the soul sphere. (sector 126)
 * 6) Head northwest from the start and open the door, then go until you reach the switch, which will raise some nearby steps. Follow the path until you reach the shotgun shells, the red door, and the switch. Flip the switch and then return to the starting point, going southwest this time to the open room that has a green armor. (sector 182)
 * 7) Head south from where the red key is located and press on the wall with the candle in front of it. A chaingun, boxes of ammo, and a computer area map are inside this secret room. (sector 212)
