Secrets[edit]

  1. Head east from the starting point to the switch and blue door. Flip the switch and head up to the middle of the starting area using the steps. Look to the southwest and shoot the gargoyle switch. Go back to the northwest steps and head south to the wall that opened to get a soul sphere. (sector 116)
  2. In the starting area, after you get the yellow key, go to the lava and use the skull switch for the lift. Quickly run south from that skull switch lift and into a hole, which leads down to a BFG9000 and energy cells. (sector 205)
  3. Take the northwest steps in the starting area. On the ledge north of the steps, use the skull switch. Head south and head to the southwest area where you can now get the rocket launcher. (sector 212)
  4. Head to the blue door at the south end and take the lift up. Jump to the lion switch, press it, and flip the switch. Head north, past where the blue key is, and to the left side of the steps. Head west and hop the pillars to get a plasma gun. (sector 285)
  5. In the main intersection, head west to a door that opens, then quickly run back to the intersection and run north to a lift to the left. Ride up to get an invulnerability. (sector 620)
  6. When you teleport to the red key, use the lift behind the place you teleported to and you will find four backpacks. (sector 625)
  7. In the red key area, use either of the satyr faces east of the key to find ammo, stimpacks, and medikits. (sector 671)
  8. Open the red door and head right. Open the recessed wall to the south to get a computer area map. (sector 678)
