Secrets[edit]

  1. In the BFG9000 room, press on the switch on the west wall that is second from the right, which opens a wall between the two northeast switches. Enter this small corridor and press on the south wall that looks different to find a soul sphere. (sector 99)
  2. In the second room, open the north door, then press on the skull on the east wall that is lower than the rest. Follow the trail of health bonuses up to a cage where you can find a switch to the east. This switch will raise the central floor leading east, although you need to have the left and right sections of the bridge raised for it to work. (sector 140)
  3. In the second room, open the south door, then press on the east wall that is different from the rest. Follow the trail of health bonuses up to a cage where you can find a megasphere. (sector 151)
