SecretsEdit

1. In the starting area, go to the steps to the north, then use them to jump southwest. Hug the outer perimeter wall as you head all the way southwest, then south and southeast to an armor bonus. The switch here teleports you to the secret, with medikits, armor bonuses, energy cells, an energy cell pack, and a plasma gun. Be careful of the hole, you will die instantly if you drop into it. (sector 1206)
2. In the area south of the start, find a button on the north wall and shoot it. Quickly run east and drop down before it rises (you have only one shot). Enter the teleporter to enter this secret area, which has a plasma gun, an energy cell, and energy cell pack. Be careful not to touch the holes or you will instantly be killed. (sector 2087)
3. In the middle of the starting area, get on the outer wall at the south end, at the highest point. Face south and shoot the button over the switch, which opens one of the yellow columns in the middle. Quickly go on the question mark square before it closes, as you will not be able to shoot the switch again. You will get a computer area map and a quiz section. Press the east switch in the first area (the other switches kill you instantly). In the next area, the north switch has the right answer. The next area has three megaspheres, a box of ammo, a chaingun, and several cyberdemons will attack. The correct switch here is the one on the west side, which will eventually reveal a teleporter to the east heading out. (sector 2115)
4. Get the yellow keycard, then head for the exit. Instead of exiting, you will enter the secret final area. The final square here is the secret. (sector 2613)
