Secrets

  1. Flip the switch in the blue key room to lower the two sets of bars. Go to where the lower set of bars were and look east for a button to push. After doing so, run back to the blue key room and through the new passage southwest. At the end of this passage, collect the BFG9000 and energy cells, watching out for former humans who teleport in. (sector 92)
  2. In the room with three columns just southwest of the power core, find a hidden button on the southernmost column. After you push it, run south into the hallway, and east through to the room behind where the switch is. Inside are health bonuses, energy cells, and a megaarmor. (sector 302)
  3. At the southwesternmost area, go to the switch at the southern end, then climb up to where it is (you do not necessarily need to use the switch right now, just climb to where it is). Stay on the upper ledge and move east, then north until you see a brighter portion of the wall. Open it for health bonuses and a computer area map. (sector 395)
  4. In the northeasternmost room, find the pool of blood at the south end and open the wall there to find partial invisibility and a medikit. (sector 525)
  5. In Secret #1, shoot the terminal on the north wall to open the southwest corner, where chaingunners guard armor bonuses and a soul sphere. (sector 618)
