  1. At the northwest area, head to the southwest side and open the wall in the small room to find medikits and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 1155)
  2. In the big area north of the start, head to the east teleporter and notice the arrow pointing east. Follow this arrow and use the skull switch with the red key. Shoot the button here to keep going east. Here, approach the block and go to the north side of it to see a BFG9000. (sector 586)

  4. In the building past the bridge, after raising the steps, climb up to the south. Use the green face to the west, then quickly descend the steps and onto a lift to the south. You will find a box of shotgun shells, a rocket, a backpack, an energy cell, and a soul sphere. (sector 1179)
  5. In the building past the bridge, after raising the steps, climb up to the south. Head to the west window and jump southwest. Head west on the grass and enter a hole that has health bonuses, armor bonuses, a medikit, and an energy cell pack. (sector 396)
  6. In the east cave, enter the lava at the north end and head to the teleporter. Lower a wall just to the southwest of the teleporter to find an invulnerability. (sector 1067)
