Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. Head east at the start until you see a dark wall at the southwest part of the turn. Enter it to get shotgun shells and bundles of TNT. (sector 205)
2. When you first enter the water, head northeast, then in the bigger area, use the south wall in the center. Surface on the other side to get a cloak of shadows. (sector 401)
3. Head south until you get to the first bridge that you swam under before. Go east of it and head southwest, opening the wall there for rage. (sector 405)
4. In the green and gray rock area, head to the steps and use the recessed wall to the north to get a box of shotgun shells. (sector 412)
5. After getting the fire key, head to the column that opened to the east, then shoot the switch on the east side of the center pole. This opens the east wall where you can get TNT and Zippo, a Life Seed, boxes of shotgun shells, and bundles of TNT. (sector 416)
6. In the room with the rotating wall, flip a switch and follow the wall itself as it morphs in a clockwise direction, finding a translucent corner wall which is a teleporter. You will teleport to a death mask, a body armor, and a Life Seed. (sector 134)
7. In the last arena, jump out the southwest window and get a super armor on the ledge below. (sector 725)
8. In the last arena, jump out the southeast window and get a Life Seed on the ledge below. (sector 735)
9. At the south wall of the last arena, a Life Leech can be found on the west side. (sector 737)
