1. Head north from the start and climb the steps. Open the wall to the west to get a BFG9000 and a health bonus. (sector 14)
2. Shoot the terminal in Secret #1 to open a wall at the bottom of the steps, which hides a megaarmor. (sector 28)
3. Enter the lava river south of the starting point and go west. Open the wall where the boxes of ammo are to find health bonuses and a switch that raises a bridge to the other side of the lava river. (sector 34)
