Secrets

 * 1) After going through the first teleporter head forwards.  A door will open behind you at the end of the western ledge below - jump onto the ledge while the door is open to reach a rocket launcher.  Note that if you are on the ledge with neither door open, you will be unable to complete the level. (sector 20)
 * 2) Jump down onto the eastern ledge immediately after the first teleporter.  At the southern end is a switch which opens a door at the other end of the ledge, leading to a chainsaw, four health bonuses, and four rockets.  Note that the switch only works once, so if you are on the ledge with neither door open, you will be unable to complete the level. (sector 24)

Bugs
It is very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain 100% kills on this level as there are eight cacodemons and four imps located in an area behind a door (sector 201) which is opened by a switch some distance away which only works once. In order to reach the imps, one must also go through a door (sector 205) which can only be opened once from the outside and not at all from the inside. The .txt file for this wad suggests that this area is only intended to be accessed in multiplayer.
