Secrets

 * 1) In the area that resembles E1M1, head to the southeast end and follow the trail of blood to the northwest wall. Open it to find a berserk pack. (sector 124)
 * 2) In the area that resembles E1M2, when you reach the teleporter with five candles, head through the wall northwest of it to get a soul sphere. (sector 157)
 * 3) In the area based off of E1M3, open one of the satyr faces to see into the room below. Shoot the switch at the back of the room to open the door, then once inside, use the wall in the northwest corner that is damaged. This lowers the stack of brown crates in the hall, revealing a megaarmor. (sector 224)
 * 4) In the area that resembles the central part of E1M4, collect the backpack to raise the bridge, then lower it and ride it up. Get to the south end of the bridge, face south, and shoot the skull eyes here. Fall off the bridge to the north and enter the small compartment to get a rocket launcher. (sector 283)
 * 5) In the area resembling the western part of E1M5, press the switch in the lava, then quickly run all the way east past the lowered walls to the teleporter with candles, but do not enter the teleporter. Instead, touch the northeast corner (this will cause a wall to lower to the north), then touch the northwest corner to teleport to the start of this area. Quickly run northwest and north into the compartment to get an invulnerability. (sector 369)
 * 6) In the hall resembling the hall with barrels from E1M6, go to the northeast corner, where stepping on a brick that juts out lowers the corner and reveals a plasma gun. (sector 439)
 * 7) In the area based off of E2M1, head all the way to the west side and use the lift in the lava. Ride it up and face north. Shoot at the wall that is slightly misaligned, then leave the room and head south to find an open compartment with backpacks and a megaarmor. (sector 538)
 * 8) In the area that looks like the southeast part of E2M3, flip the switch at the south end, then re-enter the teleporter back to the section of E2M2. Head all the way south to pick up a soul sphere. (sector 661)
 * 9) In the E2M3 section, once you find the crates, head to the southwest side and use the single crate there to find a teleporter. This takes you to an invulnerability. (sector 594)
 * 10) In the area that resembles E2M4, climb the steps to the caged teleporter and go through the cage at the south side to teleport to a soul sphere. (sector 684)
 * 11) In the area that resembles the main volcano of E2M6, fall into the lava at the northeast and go through the wall to get an invulnerability and energy cell packs. (sector 772)
