  2. At the west end, lower the bars leading to the building and take the soul sphere on the east side. Make a precise jump to the mancubus platform in the cave to the east, then another precise jump northeast. Follow the path up to get a megaarmor. (sector 2517)
  3. In the cave east of the west building, press the switch at the northeast end, then head inside the building and go to the south end, following the path leading all the way around to the east end. Use the switch there, go a bit north, then veer east to get energy cells. (sector 3974)
  4. Inside the building at the west side, climb the large steps going west, then make an angled jump towards the recessions to the southwest. Use the wall there and take the lift down to find chainsaws. (sector 2095)
  5. At the east side, enter the north side, take the east steps, then south to a library. Head to the middle, then use the middle of the south bookshelf. Follow this by heading east, then slightly north and use the east bookshelf there. Head around that bookshelf, south, then use the east bookshelf there. Do it right and the bookshelves will lower, revealing a switch to the east. Use it, then head south to a different library. To the east will be "The secret books". (sector 1836)
  6. In the library where Secret #5 is, press the west switch. Head back through the dark alley to return to the previous library, then head north, running and jumping across platforms with health bonuses until you reach the other side. Press the lion switch and ride up to a megaarmor. (sector 1735)
  7. Fall south from Secret #6 and into the room there. Fall down to find a chaingun. (sector 1152)
  8. Go back to the north side of the east building and to the steps again. Fall into a hole to the north and go behind the bookshelf in the middle. Open the bookshelf to the north to see a large face. Two bookshelves will also be revealed. Use the face, then use the bookshelf to the east. Follow the path to a switch which reveals "Keys + I, Arms + II, BFG + III". (sector 3921)
  9. Go back to the face, then open the left bookshelf. Open the next one you come across and climb the steps. Jump to the north wall and follow it around. If you pressed the switch that was mentioned in the bookshelf puzzle in Secret #5, you can head north, using any skull key to use the switch for another switch which costs one skull key. (sector 4652)
  10. At the east side, enter the south library again and head south to the steps. straferun west to the two platforms and get the armor bonus on the second one. (sector 1068)
  11. Head south from Secret #8, then east and use the painting. Leave, head to the south library, then the south steps, then to the lift to the east (which you can use from its backside). Head down, use the painting there, then return to the north end where the large face is. Open two bookshelves to the west and climb the steps (as if you were going to get Secret #9). This time, go on the south ledge, then head to the middle to find energy cells. (sector 3945)
  12. Return to the large face after opening Secret #11, then head back to Secret #8 and head south. Head back to the painting you used earlier, where there will be a candle to the west. Use the wall there to find an armor bonus and a teleporter to the east room. (sector 4116)
  13. At the north end, open the west side up and head there. At the two doors open the north door (requires a green key) to get a health bonus. (sector 4203)
  14. At the north end, go to the winding path at the east end. To the south, drop to the lava and run northeast and north, then onto an island with a sign referring to the skull keys. (sector 4010)
  15. At the north end, go to the winding path at the east end. At the northeast side, look southwest and shoot a skull switch. Keep going on the winding path and jump north, then go east to find energy cells and a switch. This switch crushes the mancubi in the main hall. (sector 861)
