Secrets[edit]
- To the north of the central arena are three walls which move up and down. At the top of the first one is a switch which lowers a lift opposite with a megaarmor. At the top of this lift is a passage (containing a backpack and an energy cell pack) to a plasma rifle guarded by some monsters. Returning to the megaarmor lift will teleport you back to the centre of the arena. (sector 117)
- To the west of the blue door is a secret door (which requires the red key) leading to a computer area map and a passage with several demons and some clips. (sector 124)
- There is a teleporter at the south of the passage west of #2 – this takes you to a small lift with a soul sphere, to the west of which is a room with a light on the southern wall. The west wall has a secret door leading to a passage that leads to the passage east of the arena. The secret can also be reached by shooting the pale-textured section of wall in the cage immediately to the west of the red door in the east, then shooting the aforementioned light which is now revealed, then pressing the blood splash which is revealed. (sector 64)
