Secrets[edit]

  1. Turn around at your starting point to get a super shotgun, a green armor, a soul sphere, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 4)
  2. At the northwest end, go behind a waterfall to find a blur artifact and a teleporter back to the starting area. (sector 146)
  3. When you enter the blue key chamber, the water will lower. Hug the left wall as it does to get a super shotgun, a stimpack, and a medikit (get rid of the shotgun guys as you do so). You only have one shot to reach this secret. (sector 215)
  4. At the northwest end, go south up the steps and into a teleporter. Follow the ledge to the next teleporter, then repeat the process again at the next ledge. Do this one more time to reach the northeast ledge. From this ledge, jump southwest to the waterfall with the chaingunner there to find a teleporter to the red key. (sector 237)
  5. At the southwest caves, go to the marble wall with green torches, then maneuver to the water pool to the east that had the cacodemon to find health bonuses. (sector 239)
  6. At the northwest end, go south up the steps and into a teleporter. Follow the ledge to the next teleporter, then repeat the process again at the next ledge. Do this again to reach the northeast ledge, then one more time to reach the ledge west of there. Open the yellow door to see a switch that opens up the exit, but go behind this switch to find a berserk pack. (sector 256)
  7. Head to the northeast area and up either set of steps. As you do, a lift will lower. Quickly make your way to the northeast to the platform near the armor bonuses, then press the back wall to get a box of rockets. (sector 288)
