Secrets[edit]

  1. At the start is a crossroads - turn left into the alcove. The northern wall here is a secret door leading to an armor and a chaingun. (sector 317)
  2. North of the blue key is a passage leading to 10 teleporters. Entering this room causes the entrance to be blocked. The south-easternmost teleporter takes you to a room with a medikit, a shotgun guy, and an imp (not on easy skill). Shooting the northern part of the eastern wall here reveals a switch which opens up the exit from this area. (sector 320)
  3. Getting the blue key opens up a passage to the east which involves ascending a lift then dropping down. Just before you reach the steps, there is a secret door on the western wall leading to a switch which raises a step, allowing access to the northern ledge in the area west of the rocket launcher. (sector 394)
  4. Just east of the red key is trigger line which briefly opens up a door in the area south of the blue key door (it can be opened repeatedly) leading to a lost soul (not on easy skill) and a switch. The switch opens up a door at the top of a curved staircase north-west of the blue key room (which can be raised by pressing a nearby switch) leading to a lost soul (not on easy skill), an imp (hard skill only), a medikit (medium skill only) and an invulnerability. Both the door and the room count as separate secrets. (sector 302)
  5. See #4. (sector 303)
  6. South of the red door is a T-shaped area with a switch at the base. The north-east side of the T has a door - go through it and press the wall on your right. It opens, leading to a demon (three on hard skill), two medikits, an energy cell, and a soul sphere. On multiplayer there is also a box of rockets. (sector 168)
  7. There is a secret door on the south wall of the staircase leading down to the room north of the red door, leading to a teleporter. (sector 108)
  8. Take the teleporter behind #7 - the north wall has a secret door leading to a zombieman, a medikit, and a backpack. The silver wall outside the secret area is a lift leading back to normal territory. (sector 139)
  9. Go through the yellow door just before the exit, head down the stairs to the north-west, take the corridor to the west, and go through the first door encountered. This room has a secret door on the west wall leading to 0-2 medikits and a switch which raises a step opposite the one raised in #3. (sector 536)
