Secrets[edit]

  1. In the brown room with barrels, one barrel will be destroyed by a crusher that sets off the chain reaction to the other ones. Go to the crusher and through the wall behind it. Follow the zigzag path to get a plasma gun, medikits, and an energy cell. (sector 148)
  2. A small courtyard near the west end has two pillars, one of which has a soul sphere on top. Use the demon face north of the pillar and ride that wall up in order to get the soul sphere. (sector 181)
  3. In the curvy hall at the east side, go to the middle and drop out of the east window to get a megasphere. (sector 320)
  4. In the white hall at the west end, find an arrow at the north end and open the wall it points to to get a medikit, a computer area map, and a megaarmor. (sector 404)
  5. In the southeast room with the bridge over blood, going off the bridge to the sides will lower the side walls. The east side has a compartment with a berserk pack. (sector 412)
