Secrets

 * 1) Grab the red key, then backtrack past one of the crushers. A compartment to the right will be open with monsters in it. In this small compartment, use the northeast wall to reveal a switch. This switch lowers one of the windows near the red key, but only briefly. Time your switch press so that you can safely head back under the crusher and through the window in time. You will be outside on the lava, with the nearby rock with the soul sphere counting as the secret. There are also ammo clips and a box of shotgun shells out here. (sector 168)
 * 2) In the central hub, go to the south end near the entrance and look west at the window. You will spot a red button in the green marble. Use it to open the nearby bars to get a super shotgun and box of shotgun shells. (sector 186)
 * 3) In the chaingun room at the east side of the map, go to the southwest corner to spot a small red button at the metal wall. Use it to reveal a blur artifact at the entrance to the room. (sector 420)
