Secrets[edit]
- From the south-western room near the exit, take the staircase that leads north-east. The path continues to a door to a room with several items and a candelabra in the north-west. The walls to the north and south of this candelabra are secret doors both leading to a room with a demon, some ammo, a medikit, an invulnerability (not on hard skill), and a radiation shielding suit. There is fake wall to the south-west leading to four stimpacks (multiplayer only) and a chainsaw. Both the room itself and the two doors count as separate secrets. (sector 124)
- See #1. (sector 125)
- See #1. (sector 126)
- One of the niches to the east en route to the door at the end of the path mentioned above is a secret door leading to an area with 0-3 cacodemons, a baron of Hell, two boxes of rockets, and a rocket launcher. (sector 120)
- The room south of the BFG9000 room has a secret door to the south-east (at the end of the lava trench) leading to a room with a demon, four lost souls (not on easy skill), a plasma rifle, and a berserk. On multiplayer there are also three energy cells. (sector 11)
- In the BFG9000 room, head towards the north-west past the partial invisibility. There is a secret door to the north (in easy and medium skills there is a dead player marking it) leading to four stimpacks (not on hard skill), an invulnerability (not on hard skill), a berserk, and a door to a teleporter which takes you to the switch which raises the stairs to the exit. (sector 215)
Bugs[edit]
The switch which raises the stairs to the exit can be pressed through the fence, making a large part of the level redundant.
