Secrets[edit]

Official[edit]

  1. On the northwest branch of the cavern, look to your right (east) for a small passage going further east where you can fall into (and the radsuit). Follow the lava passage until you reach a megaarmor guarded by baron of Hell. (sector 963)
  2. Once you have the blue key, look east to one of the monster closets. There is a cache with medikits, boxes of rockets, energy cells and boxes of shotgun cells to the north. (sector 964)
  3. Head east as you come back with the blue key. Just before the square turn with the arch-vile faces on black marble, follow the cavern to the south. Follow the bloody honeycombs until you see another drop. Go down there, and eventually you will reach an energy cell pack guarded by an arch-vile. (sector 1113)
  4. Go back to the black marble faces from secret #3. Take a closer look at the one to the south. One of its eyes is a hidden switch. Press it to open a teleport to your left (east), enter it, and you will end up in a narrow hallway, (sector 971) with a BFG9000 and energy cell packs on a return teleporter and a megasphere at the opposite of the hallway, guarded by a cyberdemon.
  5. North of secret #4, after the ambush from pressing a lion-face switch, look in the south red compartment. Part of the south wall doesn't completely reach the ceiling; press that part to lower a lift (sector 965) that will get you to a soulsphere behind the UAC entrance desk.
  6. Inside the yellow key area, the hexagon furthest to the west is made of square tiles instead of natural rock. Press it, then drop down to find stimpacks, a medikit and armor. Press the tech-looking wall to lower a lift to return to the main area. (sector 959)
  7. On the southernmost cavern branch heading east, when the area starts getting wider, go to where the bloody honeycombs end and start jumping down on red rock platforms above the blood sump to reach seven stacked boxes of rockets in the northwest corner. (sector 525)

Non-official[edit]

  1. The BFG9000 near the starting area can be accessed once you get one of the keys.
