Secrets[edit]

  1. Follow the linear path until you reach a set of steps going northwest. Head east and flip the switch here, then head southwest and south, going on two pillars to get a berserk pack. (sector 610)
  2. Open the blue door into a large hall going southwest. At the turn, use the pentagram at the inner corner to find a BFG9000 and energy cells. (sector 411)
  3. If you flipped the switch mentioned in Secret #1, enter Secret #2 and take the lift up. Open the wall and jump to the two pillars to the south to get a plasma gun and an energy cell pack. (sector 404)
  4. Head back north from Secret #3 and jump west to a platform with ammo and two teleporters. One teleporter takes you to health bonuses, and the other takes you to armor bonuses. (sector 262)
  5. Drop south of Secret #4 and head up the west set of steps. At the door, head east on the walkway, and in the tunnel, open the misaligned wall to the north to get a soul sphere. (sector 417)
  6. Go back to the door mentioned in the previous secret and open it, then the next door. Head south and use the wall where the rockets are to trigger a lift. Ride up to get some ammo and a medikit. (sector 547)
  7. Head east from the previous secret, then north and use the lift with square tiles to the west. You will ride up to a megaarmor. (sector 551)
