Secrets[edit]

  1. Once you get the blue key, flip the blue switch south of the start and press on the wall to the left of the yellow switch. Go across the lava to find the red key, which can be lowered by pressing the switch on secret #3. (sector 77)
  2. At the east side of the southernmost area, head west up the steps past the large rock crusher, then at the next crusher you will have to make a jump southward between the shotgun shells. When you make it, head east to find an arch-vile and a soul sphere. (sector 266)
  3. At the rock with two crushers at the southernmost area, the trail of rockets between the structures points northeast and southwest. Face southwest and make a jump to the higher lava. Grab a radiation suit and head through the leftmost lavafall here. At the top, you will find a plasma gun, energy cells, and a switch to lower the red key. (sector 209)
  4. At the yellow key, press the skull switch in the north closet to lower the wall heading back into the lower lava, which will cause the large rock up ahead to open up, with the arch-vile teleporting away. To get the megasphere inside, you will have to retrace your steps to the rock that had the switch, which is just west of the large rock, then jump into it. (sector 282)
  5. At the easternmost area of the map with the crushers, the switch on the west wall opens up the walls around you. In the compartment just south of the switch, press on the hidden blue switch in the light, then head back south. There is now a new teleporter which would be in behind a line of health bonuses, which will take you to the next secret. (sector 353)
  6. The teleporter from the previous secret transports you north of the starting point on a ledge. From this ledge, turn southeast, and when the crusher rises, shoot at the red button to raise a bridge near your ledge. Cross it and use the red switch (make sure you have the red key from Secret #1), then the one behind it to lower the northern wall. This leads to the secret exit. (sector 41)
