Secrets[edit]

  1. In the staircase room west of the starting point, use the wall with the green torch on it to reveal a soul sphere to the west. (sector 66)
  2. At the northwest end of the map, go north past the chaingun and to the area with two skulls on the north and south walls. Use the skull on the south wall to raise steps to the east which lead to a soul sphere. (sector 150)
  3. At the east area of the map with the yellow switch, head north and west towards the blue door, then look at the three switches on the wall. Use the satyr switch, then head north towards a plasma gun and quickly get on the southwest lift. This leads up to a soul sphere. (sector 253)
  4. Head north from the berserk pack near the starting point and go out the right window, hugging the right wall as you do. On this ledge, use the right wall to get energy cells and a plasma gun. (sector 306)
  5. Near the blue door mentioned in Secret #3 is a wall that opens when you have the yellow key. Behind this wall is a teleporter taking you to a BFG9000. (sector 566)
