Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. From the start, head south and down the steps. Go to the northwest corner in this room and open it to get a chainsaw and a backpack. (sector 445)
2. In the central room with a plasma gun and a green armor, find the green torch and use the switch there to open the west wall with armor bonuses and an energy cell pack. (sector 709)
3. When you first enter the south east area, look to your left. Head through the vines in the northwest corner and fall in the hole to get boxes of rockets and medikits. (sector 750)
4. At the round platforms over the nukage, go to the minigun and drop to the nukage and use the skull switch behind the vines to teleport to a radiation suit. (sector 1041)
