Secrets[edit]

  1. In the large area with blood, head to the northwest end and go behind the candle to find a backpack and several weapons. (sector 102)
  2. At the eastern hand-shaped area, enter the teleporter that is second from the right. Open the door to the west and go behind the pit. Open the back wall to find an invulnerability and a green armor. (sector 160)
  3. In the arena at the west side, go to the west end and the wall will lower a bit. Shoot the pentagram that appears to get a megaarmor, a soul sphere, and energy cell packs. (sector 236)
  4. In the hall with the pentagrams on the floor, head north, then east onto a ledge with armor bonuses. Jump to the ledge to the east that has an energy cell pack, then open the north wall to find health and armor bonuses. If you shot the wall that opened Secret #3, you can get more of them in another room, and shooting at the eastern face will open up the secret exit. (sector 263)
