Secrets[edit]

  1. Open the door behind the start and shoot the red button on the west wall to open the northwest alcove containing a soul sphere. (sector 28)
  2. In the instant death teleporter maze past the "II" sign, follow the candles, first by going west to the wall, north three, east three, north two, east two, south three, and east through the wall to get a plasma gun. You can reveal the path leading to the wall by going to the switch at the north end as well. (sector 399)
  3. In the switch puzzle past the "III" sign, press the switch with candles around it, which is the correct switch. Go back to Secret #2 to find a path leading to a backpack. (sector 297)
  4. Enter the castle via the door where the blue key is and head down the steps. Just before the last step, face west and shoot the dragon picture in the distance. This will open a wall between the northern bookshelves which contains a green armor. (sector 410)
  5. Inside the castle at the southernmost red carpet area, lower the easternmost bookshelf to find medikits. Lowering this bookshelf will also lower the westernmost bookshelf, which has a BFG9000 that you should quickly run to. Both areas count as the same secret. (sector 346)
  6. Beyond the red door leading into the prison area, when you turn left, head straight west and use the bars to open the prison cell in front of you. A megasphere will appear. (sector 293)
