Secrets[edit]

  1. After going through the north-east teleporter in the central room, walk along the twisty water path. Part-way along a door opens behind you, revealing a cacodemon, a medikit, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 119)
  2. Continuing along the twisty water path, the path splits into two - the point where the two routes join back up has a secret door to the north, leading to 8 shotgun shells, two boxes of rockets, a partial invisibility, and 2-4 imps. (sector 145)
  3. Go through the north-west teleporter in the central room and drop down into the blood. There is a group of health bonuses forming an arrow pointing to a secret door leading to a box of shotgun shells and two medikits. (sector 222)
