Secrets

 * 2) From the octagonal room near the start, take the door to the west.  There is a secret door on the west wall (marked by a slight niche in the wall) just north of the alcove with the short red firestick leading to 4 shotgun shells and a switch which opens a door opposite. (sector 400)
 * 3) Go through the door opened in #2 - this leads to a box of bullets as well as a lift to two imps and a soul sphere (two in multiplayer). (sector 395)

 * 5) Just before the blue door is a secret door in the north wall (marked by a slight niche in the wall) leading to a backpack, a box of shotgun shells, a megaarmor, two energy cells, and four rockets.  On multiplayer there is also three more rockets, another two energy cells, another backpack, and another megaarmor. (sector 1)
