Secrets
- At the start, head right at the T-intersection and go until you see stairs to the south. Do not go down the stairs, instead get on the outside ridge outside of the fence and move along until you reach a cave with an energy cell and a plasma gun. (sector 44)
- In the southeast part of the map, enter the small cave and press the satyr switch to lower the lift to the north. Step on the lift, then head off and back towards the satyr switch. A new cave here leads to armor bonuses and a soul sphere. (sector 108)
- At the top of the castle at the north end of the map, get to the northwest corner and look west. Shoot the eye, then enter the lava at the north end and follow the path to a light amplification visor, a medikit, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 197)
- Approach the yellow door, which will allow you to reach two satyr switches just to the southeast of the door. Press both of them, then head south, using the stepping stones to reach the yellow key area. A cave to the south holds a box of rockets and a medikit. (sector 283)

Trivia
- Iblis is a figure frequently occurring in the Quran, commonly in relation to the creation of Adam and the command to prostrate himself before him. After he refused, he was cast out of heaven. For many classical scholars, he was an angel, but regarded as a jinn in most contemporary scholarship. He is often compared to Satan in Christian traditions. In Islamic tradition, Iblis is often identified with Al-Shaitan ("the Devil").
