Secrets

 * 1) Look around you at the start and find a pool of blood next to a fence. This indicates that you can walk through the fence. Attempt to do so and you will teleport to a new area. There is a megasphere here along with a BFG9000 (several on one location so you get more ammo for it). There will be several arch-viles and a cyberdemon to here as well. (sector 441)
 * 2) At the red key area, go towards the switch, then look at the south wall. Press along it until you discover another switch, then use that one to open a wall at the base of where the red key is. You will find a soul sphere, but look out for the arachnotron that teleports in. (sector 581)
