Secrets[edit]

  1. In the central room of the building, use the recessed wall on the left side to find a switch. This lowers the soul sphere in the middle of the room. (sector 434)
  2. When you get to the large hole northeast of the building, head around the hole going clockwise to a switch. Flip it and head west to a lowering wall with a BFG9000. (sector 366)
  3. In the northernmost cave, drop to the teleporter below, then head east of the teleporter to get energy cell packs and a megaarmor. (sector 793)
  4. After taking the large lift east of the red key up, head on the walkway and jump east to a block. To the east is a soul sphere. (sector 358)
  5. At the southernmost area, go to the southwest side and lower the slimy wall to find the yellow key. (sector 750)
  6. In the room northeast of the south area, head southeast of the backpack and press on the brown wall to the north, on the column. This reveals a switch that opens the north wall with a box of shotgun shells, a box of ammo, and an energy cell pack. (sector 424)
  7. Open the yellow door in Secret #6 to access the secret exit. (sector 289)
