Secrets

 * 1) In the southwest area, climb the blocks and look at the south wall. Jump through the wall with pipes on it to find a computer area map, a green armor, and a backpack. (sector 180)
 * 2) In the southeast area with the collapsing bridge over nukage, go into the nukage in the southeast corner and open the wall to find a radiation suit, a berserk pack, and a megaarmor. (sector 176)
 * 3) After getting the yellow key, drop down and a closet opens to the southwest. When you pick up the red key, face west and press use to trigger a hidden switch, opening a secret in the closet with two boxes of rockets and a megaarmor. If you raise the silver platform all the way, you can see the switch by riding the platform and dropping off where the red key is. (sector 53)
 * 4) In the library area, go around the bookshelves arranged in a spiral and use the one at the end to lower it. Ride it up to get energy cells and a plasma gun. (sector 48)
 * 5) Take the lift at the north end of the library section up, then if you head right, you will come to a door. If you head left from the lift, the bookshelf next to the door will open, but attempting to go right from there will close the bookshelf. In order to get this secret, open the bookshelf by going left of the door, then jumping across the gap south of the lift. The bookshelf should remain open, allowing you to get a backpack and rockets. (sector 71)
 * 6) Secret #5 will eventually close once you enter it, and a switch will be on the west wall. Pressing it lowers the secret, and you can get an invulnerability to the east. (sector 66)
 * 7) After opening the wall of cacodemons in the library area, return to Secret #4 and jump to the area where the cacodemons came from. The wall will open revealing chaingunners and a megasphere. (sector 81)
