Secrets[edit]

  1. Open up the large outside area at the north end of the map, then go down the steps to the bridge over the blood. There are four pillars on this bridge that leads to the yellow door, and the second row from the door consists of two secret sectors. To get this secret, go back up the steps, then get on the nearest pillar southwest from the left one, then use it to get to this secret. (sector 389)
  2. To get to the other pillar, head up the steps and onto the ledge above, then head east near the poles. Look to the north and jump to the pillar southeast of the one leading to the yellow door, then use that pillar to jump northwest to get this secret. (sector 391)
  3. East of the previous two secrets, you will find four dark gray rocks over the blood, each with an arch-vile on them, and each counting as a separate secret. You may need to use higher ledges to get onto these rocks to register the secrets, however the nearby ledges will suffice for some of them. (sector 1030)
  4. See Secret #3. (sector 1031)
  5. See Secret #3. (sector 1032)
  6. See Secret #3. (sector 1033)
  7. Head northeast of the previous four secrets and you can find another dark gray rock with an arch-vile, which is another secret sector. Drop to it from the platform southeast of it. (sector 1063)
  8. In the same area that Secret #7 is in, you will find a cyberdemon surrounded by eight pillars with revenants on them. The eight pillars all count as secrets, so just drop onto them from higher ground to register them. (sector 986)

  16. East of the last eight secrets is a large platform with a cyberdemon and a megasphere which you may have used to get Secret #7. Get back onto this ledge, then run northeast to the right of the rightmost metal block, landing on the outside of the fence above the chaingunners. Follow the wall all the way to the north, then enter the opening to the west. This area has a single zombieman, but leaving the area to the west summons three more cyberdemons into the big outside area. (sector 1474)
  17. After you get the yellow key, get to the high ledge near the start of the large open area and open the yellow door to the right. Climb the steps, then hug the north wall as you head left. Jump to the marble pillar, then use it to get one secret. From here, you can ride the marble pillar back up, then jump to the other five marble pillars for the rest of these five secrets. The southeast pillar contains energy cell packs, while the northwest pillar contains a computer area map. (sector 419)

At the wall, drop off to the right side to pick up the red keycard, then drop to the black floor below. Follow it to the red bars and open them for a switch which will raise steps in the lava. Run across those steps and into the enclosed section. In these caves, there are three gray rocks with revenants on them, and you need to step on them to get three secrets. (sector 2554)
