Secrets[edit]

  1. Go behind the starting teleporter and use the switch behind the wall. This reveals candles to the north, leading to a secret arena cave. (sector 787)
  2. In the west cave, head to the north side and northeast. Shoot a small skull switch there, then climb to the top of the west cave. Head south and through the hole to find a secret arena. (sector 430)
  3. A small closet with a voodoo doll is a secret sector. At the exit, drop to a small ledge and follow it west to two torches, which require the red and blue skull keys. Get rid of the torches and enter the secret arena (or a secret room on lower skill levels), then the secret exit. This sector may not be triggerable on certain source ports. (sector 2093)
