Secrets[edit]
- In the dark room past the big gate from the starting area, check the northeast corner. You will notice that it is missing one of the candles; press the part of the wall without a candle to reveal a backpack. (sector 787)
- In the lava cave east of the blue key, near the gargoyle switch at the south part of the area, there will be two arch-viles coming out from a lava fall. You can go where they came from to find a cache with a berserk pack, a soulsphere, and two energy cell packs. (sector 791)
- In the nukage cave west of the yellow key, go to the south side and circle the first structure with a mancubus inside. On the tile wall, close to the burnt tree, is a tiny switch that lowers a lift. (sector 793) It will lead you to a berserk pack, a soulsphere, and two energy cell packs respectively.
- In the red key tower, press the gargoyle switch at the top (watch out for the arch-viles ambush), then go back down the stairs. There will be another gargoyle switch to the east that opens a nearby alcove with a megaarmor. (sector 291)

Trivia[edit]
- The end level message seems to imply that there is no gateway to hell at the end of the path, and the only way for the marine to continue his mission is to kill himself in a coffin, so that his soul will be transferred to hell and go on fighting there.
