Secrets[edit]

  1. Head left from the start towards the corpses and open the north wall for a secret area with a message. (sector 1609)
  2. In the plasma gun room, go to the northernmost column and the west side of the column will have a candle in front of it. Use that side to find medikits. (sector 1749)
  3. At the easternmost room, climb the steps to the teleporter, then shoot the switch at the west side to open the southwest corner. Follow the path of ammo to a megasphere. (sector 461)
  4. Take the teleporter, then open the wall at the southeast corner to get a chainsaw. (sector 1678)
  5. In the area with crushers east of where the teleporter was, get to the south side and open the southeast wall to get backpacks and a berserk pack. (sector 1671)
  6. Drop from the yellow key platform and enter the room to the south. At the end, press the switch to get the message that you can now access the rocket launcher crate, which is near the door to this room. (sector 585)
  7. Head east from the bridges where the blue key is, north, and west to a switch. This switch reveals a compartment below this ledge, so after pressing it, drop down and collect a backpack, a megaarmor, partial invisibility, and a medikit. (sector 1777)
  8. Head east from the bridges where the blue key is and go south to a wall with a light gray square in front of it. Use that wall to find rockets. (sector 1789)
  9. In the large arena at the north end of the map, get to the middle structure and go to the north wall. Open it to get an invulnerability. (sector 1742)
