Secrets

 * 1) Take the path southwest of the starting point but instead of going around the marble wall, head south and into the cave containing rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 171)
 * 2) Now keep going along the path until you reach a hole that rises up with a baron of Hell on it. This platform will lower again, allowing you to access a western passage that leads to an invulnerability. (sector 193)
 * 3) Shoot the eye in the crusher hallways, then head to the east side. Use the lion switch, then walk through it to find a soul sphere. (sector 238)
 * 4) On the eastern path, shoot the eye you find to raise a bridge to the south. Cross this bridge and get to the north side. As you head to the north side, find a gap between the fences and go around the outside fence going south towards the lion-faced column. Head into the room to find a rocket launcher, a medikit (not on Ultra-Violence or higher) and a box of rockets (or just a rocket on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 479)
 * 5) At the southernmost part of the map, head towards the east wall which will reveal a wall behind you with cacodemons in it. Press on the wall to the left of the leftmost torch to find a box of shotgun shells, a backpack, and an energy cell (not on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 55)
