Secrets[edit]

  1. Head south of the start and enter the lava inside the walkway. Get the radiation suit at the west alcove in the lava. (sector 9)
  2. Enter the south building and use the switch which is the entrance. Ride up and jump west to get a box of shotgun shells and a stimpack. (sector 12)
  3. Open the door at the start and in the next room, open the wall southeast of the plasma gun to get boxes of rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 29)
  4. Enter the east section of lava and take all the lifts up to the BFG9000. Open the cracked wall to get a berserk pack. (sector 78)
  5. Enter the teleporter in Secret #4 to get a megasphere. (sector 77)
  6. At the northeast steps, head into the lava just south of the steps and enter the teleporter to get a box of shotgun shells, a green armor, and a box of rockets. (sector 74)
  7. Jump east from the northeast steps and go northeast to a teleporter. This takes you to the northwest end. Shoot the cracked wall to the west to get a BFG9000. (sector 90)
  8. In the same building, you will see a soul sphere behind a teleporter. To get it, open either the walls to the left or right of the teleporter (left is preferred, as there is an arch-vile in the right wall). Open the next wall and open the middle to get a soul sphere. (sector 97)
  9. At the plasma gun at the west end, open the southeast wall with the electricity symbol and push the switch at the end to get a soul sphere. (sector 111)
