Secrets[edit]
- At the western hall past the pits, go between the pits at the northern part of the area to reach a switch. After pressing, quickly leave and drop into the nukage pit at the southern part of the area, running east up the steps, then southeast through the open passage before it closes. Head north and open the door to get a soul sphere. (sector 547) If you found the secret switch in Secret #2, head south of where the soul sphere was and press on the wall where the red "II" is on the ceiling to find the second secret switch.
- In the courtyard south of the starting building, press on all four switches at the base of the rocket launcher pillar, then head back up the steps and press the switch southwest of the pillar. This will lower the pillar, but you will still have to jump to it. (sector 275) While you jump to that pillar, continue your jump to the ridge of the starting building and follow it east. You will soon see a red "I" on the floor which indicates a secret switch required for the secret exit.
- At the southeastern part of the map, you will find a large room with two shotgun guys behind a terminal to the east. Use that terminal to open the northern wall and follow the passage to where the shotgun guys were to find a megaarmor. (sector 172) If you pressed both secret switches mentioned in the previous two secrets, press the secret switch where the red "III" is on the ceiling.
- Open the door west of the red door and follow the passage up and around until you find a pillar with a beating heart. Past that pillar, head left at the fork (going west) and press on the gargoyle face. This reveals a switch to the east, and that switch lowers the previously mentioned gargoyle face that has another switch behind it. Press both before the faces raise back up and the door to the south opens up. This place is a secret supply room with a backpack, rockets, energy cells, medikits, and a plasma gun. (sector 667)
- After entering Secret #4, go back to the first gargoyle face and press it again, then go back inside Secret #4 and another door will be open. Enter to get a BFG9000 on a pedestal. (sector 680)
- In the room with blood pools at the northern part of the map, press on the wall at the northeastern blood pool to find a medikit and health bonuses. (sector 698)
- In that same room, take the passage to the eastern window that had imps and lower the eastern wall. (sector 748) Follow the passage to reach a switch that will lower the normal exit pillar beyond the cage, revealing the fourth switch (with a "IV" mark) that opens the secret exit.
- In the normal exit room, press on the northeastern wall to get a computer area map. (sector 761)
