Secrets[edit]

  1. In the first area, four fences on the north and south walls have switches with torches around them. The northwest of these has green torches instead of red. You can shoot this switch. After you do so, go back west and then north to a teleporter to get a soul sphere. (sector 106)
  2. Teleport to the west side of the map and enter the southwest hall that flashes. Find the white lights on the inner wall and press on it, then quickly return to where you teleported and get on the tiny lift on the north wall. You will find a backpack. (sector 352)
  3. Head west from Secret #2 and into the blue hall to the south. Head to the candle and use the east wall to find a computer area map and a portal back to the start. (sector 408)
  4. In the room where you can get Secret #3, head west and lower the north wall to get a plasma gun. (sector 433)
  5. Enter the area with the blue switch from the south. Quickly run northwest, then north into a cave that has ammo and a berserk pack. (sector 249)
  6. After raising the curved steps in the west complex, head to the base of the steps, look south on the east wall, and shoot the switch. Climb up and head north, then east into a teleporter. Take the lift to get an invulnerability. This room also has an energy cell and a box of rockets. (sector 243)
  7. In the north area, flip the switch at the east end to head outside. Head around to flip another switch, but quickly run back north and east, then southwest to a teleporter. Take it, lower the east lift, then go east, through the crushers to a BFG9000. (sector 85)
