  3. After killing both of the pinky demons, enter the teleporter and grab the berserk pack and shotguns from the deceased shotgunners, then look at the misaligned texture on the wall to the right. Lower it like a lift and ride it down it to get the supplies on the upper ledge that the zombies were perched upon. Jump off that ledge and a wall will open and reveal a lift. Ride this lift up and then quickly kill off the zombies. After you kill them all you should emerge from the wet cave into an overlooking area of the previous outdoor sections (and an upcoming one), if you try to run toward the megaarmor that will result in four pinky demons and a cacodemon coming out of the water. Kill them then grab the megaarmor to tag the secret. (sector 202)

  5. Enter the blue door after acquiring the blue keycard and clear the room you enter. After that return to the blue door and face it. Turn left and go into the water that you see and press on the mossy stone brick textured wall to lower it. Walk on top of it to tag the secret. (sector 3)
  6. Ride up the lift from secret #5 and collect the clips from the dead zombiemen and get the medikit if you need it.
