  2. Head northwest from the yellow key and enter the teleporter. Open the southeast wall to get a medikit, a megaarmor, and a box of ammo. (sector 413)
  3. Jump into the passage northwest of Secret #2 and head all the way west, then south to a room with shotgun shells, a medikit, and a switch. (sector 358)
  4. After using the switch that lowers the yellow key, return to the plasma gun at the northeast end and enter the closet to the northwest. The switch here lowers the plasma gun. (sector 247)
  5. In the southwest room, get to the northwest side and open the computer. Follow the corridors to the north to find a box of rockets and a switch. (sector 545)
  6. After using the switches in Secrets #3 and #5, enter the room with the BFG9000 and trigger the lift to the east. Quickly run to the west, then press both switches to open the west switch. This lowers the BFG9000. (sector 495)
