Secrets[edit]

  1. At the left end of the curved wall in the room with the blue skull key, open the section of red brick wall behind the single armor bonus. Head up the stairs to reach the top of the wall and collect five more armor bonuses, plus a megaarmor. (sector 75)
  2. In the room with the blue skull key, open the wall with the misaligned texture on the west side of the metal pillar, then press the switch revealed. This opens the wall on the south side of the pillar; enter the teleporter within to telefrag the cyberdemon (mancubus on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower) on the distant platform in this room. Additionally, the platform the cyberdemon is on contains an energy cell pack, a backpack, and three rockets. (sector 78)
  3. After going through the fleshy hallway past the red key door, open the brick wall behind the arch-vile to reveal a switch. Head through the teleporter revealed to the left of the switch to telefrag the nearby cyberdemon and collect an armor. (sector 124)
