Secrets

 * 1) Behind the starting point is a backpack and a soul sphere. (sector 43)
 * 2) Head north from the main area, then head east, up the steps and north at the first fork, then west to the higher ledge north of the main area. From here, enter the hallway to the west. Doing this lowers a lift. Quickly run through the hall and just before the red rocks, head north to the teleporter before it rises. You will teleport to a BFG9000. To the east, you can pick up two boxes of rockets, a box of ammo, an energy cell pack, a medikit, and an invulnerability. (sector 372)
 * 3) Northeast of the round ledge that has spider masterminds on it is a caged area with a plasma gun. When you enter this area, the bars to the north will close, so grab the plasma gun and press the eye switch that appears to the east to open them again. To get this secret, run north from where the plasma gun was, down the steps, but onto the ledge with the fire wall, which make take several tries. Going through the fire wall, you can find two energy cell packs. (sector 414)
