Secrets[edit]

  1. Just before the first teleporter there are alcoves to the west and east. The west one's wall lowers on pressing to reveal a box of shotgun shells (easy skill) or a box of bullets (medium and hard skills) and a switch. (sector 50)
  2. Pressing the switch in #1 lowers the wall opposite, revealing three imps (easy skill), two Hell knights (medium skill) or three Hell knights (hard skill), as well as three medikits (two on hard skill), 8 shotgun shells (4 on easy skill), either a chaingun and a box of bullets (easy skill) or a rocket launcher and a box of rockets (medium and hard skills), and a soul sphere (hard skill only). (sector 52)
  3. After going through the first teleporter, step on the pile of skulls and candles to the east. A wall lowers to the south, allowing access to the blue key area which is necessary in order to complete the level. (sector 67)
  4. To reach the yellow key it is necessary to lower a grave to reveal a path behind it. Along this path are two lifts - take the one to left, and go through the door. Ahead of you is a secret door leading to 2-4 imps, 1-3 medikits, some ammo and a soul sphere (medium skill) or a megasphere (hard skill). (sector 353)
  5. In the room after the blue door, the south-eastern grave lowers on stepping on it, revealing a path to a room with four tombs and a path surround most of the room. Head round the eastern arm of the path and head into the first alcove - the door will open, and on walking through it, the tomb will lower, revealing an armor (megaarmor on hard skill). Walking on the tomb opens up a door in the alcove symmetrically opposite, leading to four imps, some ammo, a backpack (not on easy skill), and a teleporter to the outside area with several monsters and items, as well as a soul sphere (not on easy skill). (sector 307)
  6. Just before the bridge leading to the exit is a room containing 2-4 imps, some ammo, two medikits, a soul sphere, and (on hard skill) a megasphere. (sector 355)
