Secrets

 * 1) In the room at the bottom of the shaft, the second northern wall, after the first one has opened, bears a red flag.  Press on it reveal a secret passageway into a room filled with enemies and a lift.  Activate the lift to find a box of shells and a sergeant.  This secret actually consists of two sectors, including the passage and the room, that are both marked as secret. (sector 134)
 * 2) See above. (sector 135)
 * 3) Ride the lift with the box of shells in secret #1 and #2 to find a door.  Jump to it, and open it to find a brick cavern, also filled with enemies, where you can obtain a medikit on the bridge; a box of shells, a bulk cell, a backpack, and a box of rockets at the south; and a medkit and a soul sphere at the north.  Both sides also contain lifts that lower with an Imp, a Revenant, and a box of rockets; the northern one must be activated manually, and the southern one automatically activates when you enter that side of the cavern.  Use the teleporters on either side of the cavern to return to the bridge.  This secret actually consists of three sectors, including the bridge, the door, and the sector before the door, which are all marked as secret. (sector 128)
 * 4) See above.(sector 139)
 * 5) See secret #3. (sector 140)
 * 6) In the room where you find the blue key, there is a silver door high above on a small cliff.  Use the lift with the plasma rifle on it to take you up to the cliff, and walk along the edge to the door.  Open it to find a room with a box of ammo, a bulk cell, a backpack, a BFG 9000, and a megasphere.  This secret actually consists of two sectors, including the cliff and the room, that are both marked as secret. (sector 149)
 * 7) See above. (sector 155)
