Secrets

1. In the room with the Holy Cross, you can go through the northeast banner and take the teleporter to get a megaarmor. (thing 895)
2. In the lower dungeons, go to the spike traps and between them, lower the south wall to get stimpacks, boxes of ammo, and a backpack. (sector 1501)
3. In the room with two switches, have one flipped up and the other flipped down, which will lower the west wall, allowing you to get a soul sphere. (thing 258)
4. Outside at the west end, climb up to the teleporter and jump to the north ledge. Find a cave at the east side which has a box of rockets (thing 1145).
5. Outside at the west end, climb up to the teleporter and jump to the south ledge. Find a cave at the east side which has an energy cell. (thing 1291)
6. Outside at the west end, climb up to the teleporter and take it to teleport to the south end. Return to the same teleporter, take it again, and this time you will be at the east side. Turn around, get the box of rockets, and open the wall there to find health bonuses and an energy cell pack. (sector 1498)
