Secrets[edit]

  1. Flip the switch just east of the start while standing slightly to the right to ride a platform up. Head west and drop south behind the crate to get rockets. (sector 2)
  2. See Secret #1. This secret and Secret #3 are inaccessible due to being right up next to the west wall. (sector 1684)
  3. See Secret #1. (sector 1695)
  4. Open the door south of the blue door and head west to another door. Go to the small crate and open the south wall to get a backpack and energy cells. (sector 795)
  5. In the blue key room, head to the southeast and open the north wall to find a switch. This lowers the big crate with the megaarmor. (sector 148)
  6. Go to the red switch at the southwest end and flip the backside switch. Run back to the east side here and go west to get a soul sphere. (sector 442)

Bugs[edit]

An energy cell (Thing 854), a medikit (855), three armor bonuses (856 through 858), and three health bonuses (859 through 861) have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
