Non-official
To reach the secret exit, in the room with the eye switch on the pentagram, press the switch. A cacodemon pops out from the wall to the west, along with some other enemies. You need to aim at the floor with the rocket launcher while underneath the west wall and jump up to reach this area, where you will go through the wall. The switch here will reveal the secret exit, which is all the way through the hall to the east, and then north through the pink flesh. Also near the switch that reveals the secret exit is another secret message to find. You will also get a megasphere.
