Map of The Hellforge

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. At the start, lower a wall to the east and take the teleporter to get a soul sphere. (sector 30)
2. In the southeast building, in the room with the vats, find a switch in the northwest end. Use it and quickly run south, then east, around the machinery, and into a teleporter at the southeast end. From here, jump south to get a soul sphere. (thing 98)
3. Leave that area by taking the west lift up. Take the next lift to the south up, head north a bit, then look west and shoot the eye switch. Take the lift back up, head to the southeast, and take another lift up. Crouch and head west to get a rucksack. (sector 456)
4. At the southeasternmost building, head to the northeast part and head to the southwest corner. Use it and head north to get a soul globe. (sector 3150)
5. At the east building, go from the south side west, down the steps. Open a wall to the north to get a soultaker and soul globes. (thing 280)
6. At the east building, at the south end, lower a wall south of the steps and take the teleporter to get a soul sphere, large health bonuses, and green bars. (thing 101)
7. In the north building, at the north end, shoot the barrels with blood, then of the three switches on the north side, use the leftmost one. Go to the teleporter to the east, then open the black door to the north. Lower the pillar to get a soul globe. (sector 2236)
8. In the north building, head to the northwest hall and at the west side of the steps, lower the south wall to find some ammo and a steel shield. (sector 2089)
9. The soul sphere in Secret #8 counts as a secret. (thing 100)
10. Head on the lift west of the white key, then head to the east side. Go through the hall and lower the darker wall to the south. Take the teleporter at the end and you will teleport to soul orbs and a soul sphere. (thing 99)
11. Head south of the white key room, then east, up the steps to the north, then across the bridge to the south. Use the switch, head back north and drop east, then use the switch at the lowered wall. Head south from the switch and into a small alcove to the east to get a steel helm. (sector 3198)
12. At the southwest complex of buildings, enter the southeast building and climb to the switch that lowers the blue key. North of that switch is another one, which will raise a platform near the steps to the blue key. The sector under it counts as a secret. (sector 3119)
13. In the room with the Director, go to the switches in the southeast corner. Use the south switch, then quickly run to the northeast corner of the room and take the teleporter to get nail cartridges, a soul orb, and steel bracers. (sector 1462)
14. At Secret #13, you can find a soul sphere in a corner. (thing 97)
15. On the platform south of the starting building, jump over the south wall and fall to a green skull key. (thing 295)
16. In the white key area, enter the northeast room and use rocket jumps with the Hellbolt to make your way to the teleporter at the top. Take it and enter the building on the mountain. On the east end, press a switch to access a reaper. (thing 317)
17. Make your way south of Secret #15 and at the south end of the big rock to find the orange sentient mushroom. (thing 2204)
