Secrets[edit]

  1. From the start, head south through the picture with a BFG9000. You will teleport to a room with an invulnerability, a light amplification visor, and an energy cell pack. There is a yellow door which allows access to the area near the exit. If you do not have the yellow key, you can teleport back to the start by walking through the southern wall. (sector 786)
  2. In the centre of the level is a raise teleporter on an octagonal blue floor. Head east from here to reach a blue channel. It is possible to enter the channel at the south-west via a steep staircase. Two light grey panels on the east side are fake - walking through the southern one leads to some steps. After turning the corner, an area will lower with two shotgun guys, an imp, and a berserk. Walking along the stairs opens a door ahead which ultimately leads to a teleporter to a rocket launcher. (sector 625)
  3. From the start, head west through the picture with a switch and a pistol. You will teleport to the central teleporter. From here, head west and you will teleport to a nearby platform with a megaarmor. It is possible to jump onto the red area with the evil eye - this has a secret door in its north-west wall leading down to the area past the blue key. (sector 61)
  4. Heading east from the central teleporter (see #3) takes you to a red platform. The eastern wall here is fake, and it leads via another fake wall to an energy cell pack and a light amplification visor. (sector 477)
  5. To reach the teleporter to the blue key, it is necessary ascend a lift then jump down onto a platform with a switch. Pressing the wall to the west of the top of the lift lowers it, allowing access to a soul sphere and an energy cell pack. There is also a heavy weapon dude and a cacodemon here. (sector 597)
  6. In the west of the level is a sequence of five lifts which lower on stepping on them. The middle one has an area to the east (at the bottom) containing a heavy weapon dude and a computer area map. (sector 761)
