Secrets

 * 1) Go down the hall past the blue door and open the next door. In this area, climb the steps and press on the recessed wall in the middle to pick up a shotgun and shotgun shells. (sector 456)
 * 2) In the yellow key area, hop down into the blood and head west, then north, then east, going up the steps. At the midpoint, open the wall with holes in it, then take this staircase up. At the top, jump north and head east to pick up rockets. (sector 147)
 * 3) In the supply room at the west side of the map, open the wall to the left of the armor bonuses and follow the passage to the nukage pit. Head south to find a chainsaw. (sector 504)
 * 4) At the northeast hall, get to the lever switch, then go to the east wall and open the north wall to find rockets. (sector 516)
 * 5) At the northernmost end of the map with the damaging blood pit, do not backtrack and flip the switches in the two round rooms yet (they will raise blocks that block this secret). Drop into the pit and enter the compartment there, then take the steps up to the outside portion. Right next to you will be a backpack. (sector 562)
