Secrets[edit]

  1. In the gray area, open the western door and press the switch for the lift. Head east, north, east, and then north to where the shotgunners were coming from. To open the door here, look south from the door and shoot the switch through the hole. Inside is a soul sphere. (sector 642)
  2. In the green area, press the switch at the southernmost part of the area. This will open up two side compartments near the entrance to this area with imps inside. Head into the one on your left and find the switch behind the translucent wall at the southern part of it. Pressing it will open another compartment to the east with a backpack and rockets. (sector 1146)
  3. As you go through the green area, you will find a green armor on top of a block surrounded by four teleporters. Press the wall northwest of this block and the switch behind it, which will lower the block. (sector 1360)
  4. At the end of the green area, you will be in a hall with bright green lights. When you reach the corner, find a section of the inner wall you can walk through and walk through it to find another green armor (only on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower), boxes of rockets (one on Ultra-Violence or higher), a box of shotgun shells, and medikits. (sector 1625)
  5. After you teleport to the pink area, shoot the panel to the east to get a chainsaw. (sector 1667)
  6. In the pink area, from the entrance, head west, south, then east. Press on the pentagram you see to get a berserk pack. (sector 1715)
  7. In the pink area, after using the switch at the southern part of it and then the one at the eastern part, the door south of the entrance will be open. Head east, and south, then shoot the pentagram panel to the west for a hidden passage leading to a box of shotgun shells, a rocket, and a lift with a soul sphere. (sector 1695)
  8. In the crusher hallway at the pink area, reach the third crusher and press the wall to the north to get backpacks and a super shotgun. (sector 757)
  9. When you teleport to the blue area, press the southeastern wall to find a chaingun. (sector 1836)
  10. Doing the same thing with the southwest wall will reveal two boxes of ammo. (sector 1837)
  11. In the blue area, in the room east of where you end up teleported to, go to the adjacent room to the south, then press the switch behind the translucent wall in the northwestern corner. Go back to the other room and you can see an open compartment to the northwest, (sector 1894) which contains a plasma gun, a backpack, and energy cells.
  12. In the long hallway at the eastern part of the blue area, take the lift up, then head east and north. When you hear a lift lower, quickly head back south and press the switch before it closes back. A block will rise leading to the vent to the west. Open this vent and follow the path to a soul sphere. (sector 1903)
  13. Follow the long hallway mentioned in secret #12 until you reach the switch. Open the vent near this switch to find a box of ammo and a medikit. (sector 1923)
  14. At the high walkways in the rocket launcher room of the blue area, press the big skull switch at the northeast, then head back south across the walkways. In the small hall where a shotgunner and chaingunner attack you, head to the western part of the area and press the northern wall to find a box of shotgun shells and a medikit. (sector 1996)
  15. At the southern part of the area where secret #14 is, head west and drop into the hole, then press on the vent to find a megaarmor. (sector 1987)
