Secrets

 * 1) In the starting area, head to the blood pit at the northwest end and dive near the green torch. Head north to get to the green skull key. (thing 756)
 * 2) In the red skull key area, go to the east wall and find a switch to the southeast. This opens the way to the steel armor to the east. (sector 689)
 * 3) Head north of the start and open the door. Go to the brick wall directly to the north and lower it to get large health bonuses and the black sentient mushroom. (thing 1144)
 * 4) At the southernmost end, go to the flashing steps and head up the steps. After the last step, open the east wall to get a steel helm and a switch. This switch will open the bars to the west to get nail cartridges and a soul sphere. (sector 470)
 * 5) Head west of the southernmost end and climb the steps. Head to the left side and head north. Quickly run south to the curve and into the inner area before the bars rise to get nail cartridges, phlogiston canisters (on higher skill levels) and a rejuvenator. (sector 615)
 * 6) Open the blue door at the north end and go through the black wall at the north end to get an urn of demon blood. (sector 1044)
 * 7) Open the blue door at the south end, take the lift up, and head north to a lift. Take it up and jump south. Head to the southwest end and lower a crate to get a soul sphere. Push a wall to the east to find one of five green switches. (sector 1436)
 * 8) Find the five green switches to lower the molten pillar where the blue switch is to get a mauler. (sector 1319)
