Secrets[edit]

  1. In the southwest courtyard, find the candle and shoot the wall west of it to find a teleporter to a BFG9000. (sector 388)
  2. Enter the southeast area for the walkway you were on to lower. Enter the lava below and head south to find a megaarmor, medikits, boxes of rockets, and stimpacks (only on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower). (sector 637)
  3. In the round, descending room, as the floor goes down, look at the north wall and head to the northeast alcove where the lion switch is. Make sure you get in before it is too late, then press the switch, trigger the lift, and ride up to a megasphere. (sector 652)
