Secrets[edit]

  1. After crossing the wooden bridge near the top at the east side of the map, the next area will have a wooden platform over lava with a caged fire wall ahead of it. Instead of going in this direction, head to the southeast edge, above the previous wooden bridge. Drop down here behind the bridge to find an invulnerability and two energy cell packs. A teleporter will also be here. (sector 1177)
  2. Just before you reach the section with the bridges over lava, look to the east and go down the steps to find a megasphere, two boxes of rockets, and an energy cell pack. (sector 1620)
  3. Take the teleporter in Secret #1 to appear on a tower. From here, make a running jump northeast onto a high ledge, then walk on it all the way northeast to a BFG9000 and an energy cell pack. (sector 1699)
  4. At the western end of the map, get past the wooden bridge and turn west. Go along the rocks around the big one and you should find another megasphere alongside boxes of rockets and energy cell packs. (sector 1773)
