Secrets[edit]

  1. Head to the entrance of the main building and face southeast. Shoot the skull switch, enter the building, and head west and southwest to get a backpack (Hey, Not Too Rough or lower), health bonuses (one on Ultra-Violence or higher), energy cells, and rockets. (sector 87)
  2. In Secret #1, find the brown brick on the column and use it to find a skull switch. This lowers the west wall, leading out to rockets and an invulnerability. (sector 25)
  3. At the northeast end, get on the platform to the south and head behind the rock. Use the lift to get a stimpack, a megaarmor, and medikits. (sector 401)
  4. Head west after Secret #3 and through an open door to find ammo, a BFG9000, and a megasphere. (sector 13)
  5. At the red key, jump northeast out the window to get health bonuses and a box of rockets. (sector 172)
  6. At the west steps, find the blood pools, then jump west to the ledge that has armor bonuses. From here, you can get the megasphere. (sector 416)
