Walkthrough

Map of Hell's Playground

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

Secrets

1. Head into the lava north of the starting building and look south to spot a hard-to-see switch. Flip it to lower the soul sphere on the blue pillar nearby. (sector 83)
2. In the room with the red carpet, use the metal wall to lower a lift. Hug the southwest corner as it rises and you will end up getting a backpack. (sector 121)
3. On the steps with the super shotgun pillar, go all the way down, then look back up the steps. You will spot a skull switch. Use it to lower a nearby megaarmor. (sector 161)
4. Open the yellow door, but before going down the steps, open the wall with the lion face on it. Enter this empty room, and you will pick up a rocket launcher via voodoo doll. (sector 287)
