Secrets[edit]

  1. In the central room, head up the steps at the east side and go to the demon face at the northeast end. Open it to find two boxes of shotgun shells, a berserk pack, and a switch which opens the bars in the hall south of the central room. (sector 1880)
  2. Leave the starting room and take the first lift on the right down for a chaingun. (sector 2210)
  3. In the starting room, look northwest out of the north window and shoot the satyr face (which is above the exit bars). Leave the starting room and take the corridor to a megasphere, super shotguns, and a BFG9000. (sector 2717)
  4. Enter the south hall from the east side by using the satyr switch to enter it, which will also open closets at the northwest and northeast ends. The northwest closet, which would have two barons of Hell on Hurt Me Plenty or higher has a lion switch that will reveal an invulnerability if pressed. (sector 2882)
