Secrets[edit]
- Taking the stairs down to the underground area, take the north door first. Go up to the pentagram and look left. Shoot the switch which will lower a column containing a green armor. (sector 520)
- At the northeast end of the underground area, you will see a super shotgun, health bonuses, and a backpack behind bars. To reach them, use the wall nearby to the north to find a switch, which will remove the bars. (sector 641)
- Leave the red key room through the south door when it opens and follow the hallway. Midway through the hall, shoot the skull switch behind the torch that is emanating light, then head into the west alcove where a wall is lowering. Inside is a medikit, ammo, and a rocket launcher. (sector 784)
- Take the southeast door in the main circle and use the southwest wall with a candle in front of it to find a soul sphere. (sector 1856)
- Take the southwest door in the main circle and follow the path until you reach a switch which lowers a big lift. A bit before that, find the wall with the candle in front of it and use it to find two rockets and a box of rockets. (sector 969)
- At the southwest halls in the library, you may have spotted a plasma gun between the cracks in the bookshelves. Head northwest from that area into a hall where a candle is on a bookshelf. You need to use this bookshelf, then quickly head south to the corner and shoot the northwest target switch, which will open the door to the south, allowing you to reach the plasma gun and energy cells. (sector 1380)
- At the main staircases in the library, head to the south end, then follow the balcony east as it curves north. Enter the first room to the south, where a revenant is in front of a bookshelf with a candle nearby. Using this bookshelf causes the wall near the candle to lower. Inside is a box of rockets, a box of shotgun shells, and a green armor. (sector 1500)
- In the southeast area of the library with numerous bookshelves, head to the southeast side to spot a candle. Open the wall where this candle is to find a dark passage containing rockets, a backpack, and an energy cell pack. (sector 1480)
- From Secret #8, head west until you see three sets of bookshelves on the west wall. Use the northernmost shelf (there's no indication that it can be interacted with), which will lower a section of a shelf further to the south containing a green armor. (sector 1822)
- At the south end of the balcony overlooking the room with numerous shelves, there are two alcoves. Use the back wall in either alcove to reach a secret area (sector 1876). Grabbing the soul sphere here changes the scenery and causes monsters to teleport in.
- In the gigantic library hall to the east that requires the blue key to exit, take the first set of steps at the northwest end, then use the lift next to the banner. Head south to the edge, then west to the edge, then look north. There's a tiny red button on the green wall. Shoot it to raise some steps to the west to a door, where you can find a backpack, two boxes of rockets, two boxes of bullets, a box of shotgun shells, four energy cell packs, and a BFG9000. (sector 1682)
- Back at the northwest stairs of the great hall, continue heading up until the walls in front and behind you open, revealing a revenant and a cacodemon. Go into the compartment where the revenant was and use the satyr switch, then where the cacodemon was to find an open passage. (sector 1659)
- Go to the end of the passage in Secret #12 and use the skull switch. Follow the bookshelf to the next opening to the north where you will find a chaingunner and a megasphere. (sector 1629)
- At the northern part of the library, use the switch to the southwest and head back to the north side. A compartment with cacodemons has opened here. Enter it and use the wall with the candle in front of it to find a megaarmor. (sector 1285)
- When you reach the towers, ride the lifts up and head to the main hall with the crushers. Head for the southeast side to find energy cell packs and a soul sphere. (sector 2096)
