Essentials
At the start, face right and go through the left opening. Climb up the stairs and follow the hallway, take a left once you see the chaingun and go straight ahead until you reach a room with a lit satyr face on a pillar. Go around the pillar to find the blue key. Backtrack, climb up the stairs and you should spot a blue door. Open it and press the switch inside to raise a bridge nearby leading into a fireplace. Enter the fireplace to be teleported to the red key alcove. Drop down and go up the staircase to your right to arrive at the starting room where you'll find the red door. Enter it, go through the lava and open the last door: the exit portal is inside.

Non-official
Although not marked as a secret, it is possible to get over the wall where the cacodemons emerge from near Secret #3. This is best done by entering Secret #3 and utilizing an arch-vile jump. However, the closest arch-vile to this spot appears only on Ultra-Violence or higher after the blue key is retrieved. If you get over the wall, you will find a BFG9000, an energy cell pack, and a soul sphere.
