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. In a hall on the west side, open the recessed wall to the left of the one with the electricity symbol to find a stimpack, 4 blaster shells, and an energy unit. (sector 363)
2. Get out of the base into the low-gravity area, then head to the southeast side where there are some crates. Go behind them, then jump up and open the vent. Follow it to the next vent and open it to access the middle. Make your way to the northwest side, then jump up and into the largest crate here to get the force gauntlet. (sector 551)
3. Use the yellow key switch to open the door to the west, as well as a wall to the south. Enter that compartment and open the southwest wall to get an armor. (sector 924)
4. In the northeast room with the lasers to the southwest, go to the northwest column and head behind it to get a backpack. (sector 943)
5. Enter the southeast hall from the north end, then quickly run all the way south and east into a room with an armor. (sector 945)
