Secrets[edit]

  1. A room at the north end has chaingunners on a ledge. To access that ledge, use the terminal just south of the ledge, then head up the steps and east, then south to health bonuses and a super shotgun. (sector 183)
  2. In the area north of the previous one, lower a ledge to the south with imps on it to find shotgun shells. (sector 249)
  3. Open the yellow door in the room with the exit door. This will reveal the blue key in the next room, but also reveals a blur artifact further east of there. Lower the computer behind the blur artifact and go through the wall to find a secret room with a megaarmor and stimpacks. (sector 338)
  4. Head west from the yellow key, then use the wall to the south with a candle. Head south on the ledge to get shotgun shells. (sector 343)
  5. Head southeast from the yellow key and open the wall there to access the area east of the bridge. (sector 344)
  6. Lower the east wall at Secret #5. Enter the cave, wait for the wall to go back up, then attempt to lower it again. The north cave will open. Inside is a switch that lets you out. (sector 360)
  7. After you get the yellow key, head to the area at the southwest end (north of the start). A passage to the west is open, with health bonuses and another yellow key. (sector 404)
  8. At the dam at the southeast end, head west on the ledge, then north to a wall. Open it to find a stimpack. (sector 408)
  9. In the red key area at the north end, go to the west block, then use the smaller one north of it, which opens a wall to the southeast. Inside you will find stimpacks, a rocket, an ammo clip, and shotgun shells. (sector 452)
  10. Lower the east wall at Secret #5. Enter the cave and use the east terminal to get an energy cell pack. (sector 458)

Bugs[edit]

One mancubus (thing 44) has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
