Secrets

 * 1) Head to the top of the zigzagging staircase with chaingunners. Make a running jump southwest, and if you are lucky, you will go through the wall, collecting a berserk pack and a computer area map. Lower the wall to the north to get a health bonus (Hurt Me Plenty or lower) or a plasma gun (Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 27)
 * 2) Once you have the black key, go back to the water arena to the south of the starting arena and open the black bar to the southeast. Take the teleporter to a secret arena with revenants and arch-viles, as well as the BFG9000. (sector 54)
 * 3) The switch west of the starting arena lowers the bars to the north and south areas here. Enter the north area and approach the soul sphere to find chaingunners, arch-viles, and a switch. The switch lowers the pillars as well as the revenant platforms nearby. Enter either of the first two platforms, then jump east onto the walkway. Attempt to jump to the other walkway for a block to rise up, allowing you to reach the other side. The next set of blocks will lower allowing you to get a megaarmor and energy cells. (sector 60)
 * 4) Leave the area in the southeast part of the map via the lift at the west side. At the top, there is a small set of steps to the north that lets you get on the higher ledge, then walk left and then up to the column on the left side. Lower it to find the black key and boxes of rockets. (sector 432)
