Secrets

 * 1) Drop into the well and follow the blood splatters to the next room. They will lead to the north wall. Use this wall to find a secret place with the Necronomicon. (sector 241)
 * 2) Head west from the red key room to the next tiled hallway. Press on the wooden wall to get health bonuses and a backpack. (sector 558)
 * 3) After flipping the yellow switch, go to the middle steps and go northeast. The walls will lower leading to the red key as well as an area to the east, which is where you will go. Go east, then north to the ledge with health bonuses, and you will see either a megasphere (Hey, Not Too Rough or lower) or a flamethrower and ammo (Hurt Me Plenty or higher) on the far platform. If you used the hidden switch in Secret #4, you can easily jump to this platform. However, if you properly straferun, it is still possible to reach this platform without hitting the hidden switch. (sector 1174)
 * 4) In the rocket launcher room, go to the north end with two walls and use the left one to find a megaarmor, a computer area map, and a medikit. Press on the inside of the column on the north side for a hidden switch, which will raise the rocket launcher platform and make it easier to access Secret #3. (sector 1247)
 * 5) East of where the yellow key is, use the wall to the left of the bloody wall to find a berserk sphere, a box of shotgun shells, and a box of rockets. (sector 1281)
 * 6) Head south from the rocket launcher room and flip the switch here, which will raise steps to the southeast. Go to the wall that had cacodemons coming out and into the fire. Head north for a soul sphere. (sector 1458)
