Secrets[edit]

Official[edit]

  1. Enter the bright nukage room with barrels and take the east teleporter before it closes (after thirty seconds have passed in the level). You will get an energy cell pack, a box of shotgun shells, and a megaarmor. (sector 664)
  2. Take the steps leading to the south field, but get on the wall east of it and follow it north and around to the south wall. Lower it, ride it up, and take the teleporter to telefrag the cyberdemon. You can also get the armor bonuses from the walls here. (sector 642)
  3. In the northwest cave, at the turn, find the blue wall in the northwest corner and shoot it to reveal a box of rockets, an energy cell pack, and a medikit. (sector 667)
  4. In the north area, head to the fence at the northeast end and look southwest. Shoot the evil eye to open an entrance behind the fence, allowing you to get the soul sphere, energy cell pack, and box of ammo. (sector 557)
  5. At the south end of the north area, jump to the nukage where the health bonuses are, go to the west side, then south through the wall. You will find a berserk pack, a radiation suit, and a soul sphere (not on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 533)
  6. In the cave north of the bright nukage room, head east onto the first path, then backtrack and take the teleporter. Return to the starting point and head east, where the first switch used to be, to find a megaarmor, ammo, and either a soul sphere or a medikit depending on your skill level. (sector 636)

Non-official[edit]

  • The moment you get teleported into the level, take a step back to obtain a soul sphere. It gets closed off when you move forward.
