Secrets[edit]

  1. Going forward at the start you reach a round room with the exit passageway to your left. To the right of this passageway is another passageway leading to a room with some medikits. (sector 125)

Bugs[edit]

Due to a broken ambush on sector 115, six, or seven in multiplayer, xenomorphs are stuck in an unreachable area and a hall of mirrors is visible on linedef 182 of the broken ambush platform. This is caused by the ambush floor platform attempting to lower but being stuck due to monsters that overlap the ceiling. None of these problems are present in Boom, where this engine bug is corrected.
