Secrets

  1. After flipping the switch that lowers the bars around the blue key, go to the big outside area and take the northeast lift up. There will be an opening in the structure here where you can get two armor bonuses, a medikit, and a different powerup depending on your skill level (for Hey, Not Too Rough or lower, an invulnerability; for Hurt Me Plenty, a soul sphere; and for Ultra-Violence or higher, a partial invisibility). (sector 364)
  2. Enter the lava in the big outside area on the left side of the bridge and go south past the crushers. A wall on the right side has a cross on it, so open it to find a switch. After flipping this switch, take the lift out of the lava. At the top, you should see another switch. Flip it, then return back to the big outside area to find a new teleporter along the east side. Take it to reach a secret with armor bonuses, energy cells, and a plasma gun. (sector 585)
  3. In the big outside area, take the bridge to the lift leading up, where there will be a door to your left. You cannot open this door, but you can go around it. Take the other path, then look outside for a gray ledge you can move along. Follow this ledge, jumping across the bridge to the other side, and you should be on the other side of the door. Open the other door here to reach a secret room with a medikit, health and armor bonuses, a box of rockets, a box of shotgun shells, and a backpack. (sector 616)
  4. Once you reach the small cargo room northeast of the big hallway in the center of the map, go towards the cage and you should spot a switch hanging near the ceiling. Shoot this switch and leave the room, returning to the red door. Next to the red door will be a teleporter, which takes you to a megasphere. (sector 1064)
  5. At the rocky area at the northwest part of the map, there is a hidden green switch on the rocks. Press it to lower a lift near the wall with the shotgun guys. Step on this lift to ride it up and you can get a medikit, a box of rockets, and an energy cell. (sector 1447)
  6. Once you pick up the red key, go back south and then west towards the UAC door. There is an opening next to the door containing a medikit and a box of shotgun shells, as well as some armor bonuses on Hurt Me Plenty or lower. (sector 1464)

Bugs

A pain elemental (Thing 917) in the southeast has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
