Secrets[edit]

  1. In the southernmost room, approach the switch at the north end to release droids that emerge from the south wall. Go back to the stairs and get on the railing to the north, then jump to the compartment to the south to get a plasma gun. (sector 299)
  2. In the southernmost room, go towards the terminals at the east end, then use the wall in the northeast corner for a lift up. Open the door to find ammo and a berserk pack. (sector 440)
  3. In the southernmost room, go towards the terminals at the west end and use the left one, which opens the doors to the north and south. Go past them to an area with rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 568)
  4. In the blue key area, approaching the switch that lowers the key will release droids from the compartments to the north and south of the key. Use the ledge to get to the north compartment and flip the switch there to open a wall to the south. In that room, the pole lowers a megasphere. (sector 552)
  5. Open the blue door and use the second lift you come to. Hug the right wall as it rises to enter a secret room with stimpacks, ammo clips, shotgun shells, and a chainsaw. (sector 840)
  6. After you get the red key, jump to the right and open the door. Head east to the red door and open it, then take the lift up. Follow the passage and you will eventually get the BFG9000. (sector 723)
  7. In the hallway with crushing ceilings past the red door, there is a monitor at the midpoint you can use, which is on the left wall. After using it, go back to the red door and head south, then west to the red and blue lights. This is an easter egg area with Wolfenstein assets, and the second room you find will have a megasphere, backpacks, ammo, and all the weapons. (sector 1103)
  8. When you enter the room with the yellow reactor, head west to the second column and use the monitor on the south end. This will lower a wall to the right of the entrance where you can get an invulnerability. (sector 1350)
