Secrets[edit]

  1. Reach the top of the temple at the start, and there should be a switch directly in the central part of it. Press it, and the pillar at the center of the temple will lower. Strafejump into it from the top of the temple to be taken to BFG9000, northeast of the teleporter. (sector 6)
  2. In the circular room where the yellow key is, enter the northwest sideroom and press on the west wall with the scarab on it to reveal a berserk pack, an energy cell pack, and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 264)
  3. Open the red door and go down the stairs. Raise the bridge leading to a plate and lower a lift at the base of this bridge with one of the switches to the east and west. If you look north towards the bridge from the lift, you will find a switch. Press it to temporarily lower a soul sphere to the east. (sector 272)

Bugs[edit]

Two medikits (Things 726 and 749) in the south have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
