Secrets[edit]

  1. Turn around at the start and open the door for a chainsaw. (sector 335)
  2. Drop down at the start and look to the right for a dead marine corpse. Open the wall where the corpse is to find a box of rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 225)
  3. In the wooden room with the pentagram at the southeast end of the map, use the lion switch to remove blockades with the same faces on them, then head for the southwest corner. Use the green torch, then head south into the next room and quickly head west to the alcove with the plasma gun. (sector 122)
  4. In the blue skull key room, the lion switch north from the key will remove the bars. If you press on the blue torch in the room, the lion switch changes to a satyr switch. Using this switch reveals a teleporter in the room, which takes you to a room on the right side of the map. Drop down to get a soul sphere. (sector 185)
