Secrets[edit]
- From the rocket launcher lift, head west of two stalagmites into a dark corner. Find the hidden switch here, flip it, then head to the lift southwest of the rocket launcher lift with an ammo clip. Ride up, face east, and shoot the switch. Head south and down to get a soul sphere. (sector 731)
- Leave the first cave to the first open field, then go to the right, climbing northeast until you see two medikits to the north. A larger, cracked wall is on the ledge above those medikits. Lower that wall to get an energy cell pack. (sector 308)
- Enter the dark slime at the west side, then go south into a cave. Take the lift up and head to the switch at the west end, which lowers the megaarmor behind you. (sector 2212)
- In the west area, raise the lift to the ledge where you jump to the red keycard, then head to the south end and jump southwest into a compartment that had pain elementals and revenants. Use the blue light in this compartment to get a berserk pack. (sector 3194)
- On the ledges north of where the red keycard was, head to the west and find a candle. Use the wall where the candle is and head through to the northwest room. On the south ledge, press the switch to the right to raise a bridge to the middle, which has a plasma gun, a soul sphere, and energy cells. (sector 2450)
- In the beige room at the north end with two switches in the north compartment, go to the left switch and look for a skull switch to the right of it. Shoot it to open a room to the east with a health bonus and a switch. (sector 4337)
- At the east side, take the long lift up, then jump east, move southeast, and then jump south to another ledge. Head a little to the east, then look north and shoot the skull switch. Enter the building west of where you are, then jump south and onto the hellgrowth. From here, head east and collect the soul sphere. (sector 3964)
- Inside a cave at the east end, go to the easternmost side and find four pipes. The north side of the westernmost of these pipes has a button. Press it and go south and east to get backpacks. (sector 2253)
- South of Secret #8 is a three-key door (this would be blocked off if you have not pressed the switch in Secret #6). Open this door and take the teleporter to the secret BFG9000 arena. (sector 3507)
- Inside the north end of the main structure, go to the pyramid blocks by using the small metal pegs, then jump to a ledge to the west. From there, jump north to the ledge with two revenants, then drop to the west and head north to get a computer area map. (sector 2172)
- Go south of Secret #10, taking this passage to the other side of the pyramid blocks at the center of the map. On this ledge, look northeast and shoot the skull switch, creating a new opening to the east. Go to this opening and take the platforms up to a soul sphere. (sector 3564)
- Open either the red or yellow doors at the north end of the main structure, then jump east on the platforms to the one with the candle. Head slightly south and continue east, jumping onto a platform with an arachnotron and health bonuses. Flip the switch here to lower a megaarmor (megasphere on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower) to the south. (sector 2598)
