Secrets

 * 1) When you reach the large cavern with lava, head for the southwest side of the cave and through a passage leading to a dead end with torches. Go through the wall between the blue torches to find medikits, boxes of rockets, and a rocket launcher. (sector 91)
 * 2) In the same large cavern, there is a rock with a megasphere (and partial invisibility on Hurt Me Plenty or lower). To get it, get on a larger slab of rock near it to the west, then get on the corner of the rock connecting it to the east, just under the rock with the megasphere. Then go on the backside of this rock to find a way up there. (sector 179)
 * 3) After using the switch near the entrance to the large cavern, go back southeast and head all the way down until you get a soul sphere. Monster closets will open in the previous room. The one that has two Hell knights has a candle in front of the wall. Use that wall to lower it and get a super shotgun. (sector 468)
 * 4) When you enter the large lava area in the center of the map, there are two buildings at the north end. Go into the building on the left, then when you enter, lower the wall to the right to get seven backpacks. (sector 849)
 * 5) At the west end of the map, go to the west side of the big building, then go into the lava and hug the west wall until you go through. You will find a switch. (sector 2664)
 * 6) Enter the building on the west side of the map to enter a maze. Head east and pick up a radiation suit, then go south, east and south to two gargoyle faces. The right one is a switch. Use it, then head back to the previous fork and to the south you can find a radiation suit and a berserk pack. (sector 1053)
 * 7) When you finish the graveyard section (northeast of the building on the west side of the map), return to the teleporter leading to that building and you will then be greeted by zombiemen (revenants on Ultra-Violence or higher). In the north alcove, open the wall to find energy cell packs and a plasma gun. (sector 1186)
 * 8) After using the switch behind the red bars in the hub, the northeast section will be open. Follow that path, but take note of the cracks on the floor. One of the cracks takes the form of an arrow. Use the wall the arrow points to to find a soul sphere, a backpack, a megaarmor, and energy cell packs. (sector 2656)
 * 9) In Secret #8, press on the wall behind the energy cell packs to find a switch. This will open up a wall further along the area, at the northernmost side in the lava underneath where cacodemons come out to attack as you are traversing platforms. This lava passage has another switch. (sector 2671)
 * 10) This sector is the switch where Secret #9 is, however it is not possible to access this sector without using the no-clipping cheat. (sector 2673)
 * 11) In the hub, enter the building at the south end that needs the blue key. Take the south steps and notice that the middle column has candles around it. Find the side that does not have candles and use that side to find a computer area map. (sector 2804)
 * 12) In the lava cave with spider masterminds and arachnotrons, find the large rock in the southwest corner and go to its south side. There is an eye switch hidden here. Press it, then get on the higher platform to the northeast and go to the north side to find a passage leading east to another eye switch. (sector 2784)
 * 13) On the same higher platform mentioned above, head to the south side and take note of the wall to the west with blood pools in front of it. Open the wall to get an invulnerability. (sector 2900)
 * 14) If you have used the switches in Secrets #5, #9, and #12, go back to the hub and enter the building on the right. The area to the west is open, taking you to a house with a lot of supplies. (sector 2974)

Bugs
Two large brown trees (Things 2254 and 2255) and 13 brown stumps (2256 through 2268) in the northeast have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
