Secrets[edit]

  1. At the southwest corner of the red key building, if you head through the wall, you will see yellow bars. The switch behind the bars opens them, allowing you to head inside and get shotgun shells, a super shotgun, rockets, and a rocket launcher. (sector 16)
  2. Climb the volcano west of the start, starting at the north lavafall, then the east. Inside the crater is an invulnerability and a computer area map. (sector 37)
  3. Go to the northwest lava pit and go through the south lavafall to get rockets. (sector 443)
  4. Run and jump to the north part of the island. Go behind the largest block to get a soul sphere. (sector 1153)
  5. Climb the mountain at the northwest end, going around trees and floating rocks until you can enter a cave, giving you a blur artifact. (sector 2230)
  6. Leave Secret #5 to find a warped version of the main area. Head to the slime volcano at the east side and climb up, starting from the south side and then at the west side. Inside you can find a BFG9000, a radiation suit, and an invulnerability. (sector 1825)
  7. At the west island, go to the west side of the building and enter the alcove with boxes of rockets. (sector 1511)
  8. Head southwest from Secret #7 through the trees to find an energy cell pack, a plasma gun, and a megaarmor. (sector 1370)
