Secrets[edit]

  1. Head east from the start, then north. Find a wall to the north and slightly east with bloodstains and open it to get a berserk pack (only on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 358)
  2. In the northeast valley, fall to the northwest end and follow this path to get armor bonuses, health bonuses, ammo clips, a stimpack, and a backpack. These items only appear on Ultra-Violence or higher. (sector 361)
  3. After raising the bridge in the northeast valley, cross it, enter the cave, and immediately open a wall to the north. Follow the health and armor bonuses, obtaining a backpack, ammo, a megaarmor, and a soul sphere. This counts as five secrets. (sector 53)
  4. See Secret #3. (sector 387)
  5. See Secret #3. (sector 388)
  6. See Secret #3. (sector 389)
  7. See Secret #3. (sector 390)
  8. After getting the red key, return to the valley and enter the south area which is now open. Use the east wall with a candle in front of it to get a soul sphere. (sector 354)
  9. In the west lava cave, take a small, winding path going east and go all the way to the north end to get a BFG9000. (sector 356)
  10. In the lava cave, go to the northwest bars and use the north wall to find a passage with two health bonuses, an armor bonus, and a soul sphere. This counts as two secrets. (sector 234)
