Secrets[edit]

  1. Go north from the start and take a right at the fork. Follow the lava to a super shotgun and enter the small cave here. At the first stimpack, turn north and head northeast through a darker section until you reach a megaarmor. (sector 437)
  2. Lower the large lift in the center of the map, then ride it up. As you do, look to the left to spot a ledge with a backpack and a box of shotgun shells. Jump here for the secret. Open the wall for a teleporter to the top. (sector 543)
  3. At the top of the large lift, the side switches will open the door to the next room. Use the switch here for a lift leading up, then head north. When you can turn right, backtrack and flip the switch to go back down the lift. To the right is a new compartment with demons, a box of shotgun shells, and a berserk pack. (sector 186)
  4. In the yellow key room, flip either of the side switches where the demons came out of to reach an area with medikits, armor bonuses, and a stimpack. There are two terminals at the south end. Use the left one to open the way east to a lift leading down to the large lift room. A soul sphere is at the end. (sector 352)
  5. In the red key room, grabbing the key causes crates to the south to lower. Run to them and ride them up, then use the south wall to find a passage leading down to the area with the large lift. You can find a green armor and a BFG9000 (or soul sphere on Ultra-Violence or higher) here. (sector 546)
