Secrets

1. Immediately behind the start is a secret door leading to a zombieman, a shotgun, a chaingun (not on easy skill), a rocket launcher (not on easy skill), eight boxes of bullets (one on easy skill), four boxes of shotgun shells, and three boxes of rockets (not on easy skill). (sector 39)
2. From the start, head through two doors. Immediately ahead is a secret door leading to nine medikits (not on easy skill), five boxes of bullets (not on easy skill), three boxes of shotgun shells, nine boxes of rockets (not on easy skill), a rocket launcher (not on easy skill), and two plasma rifles (hard skill only). (sector 36)

Directly south of the pillar is a secret door leading to three medikits (not on easy skill), five boxes of bullets (not on easy skill), three boxes of shotgun shells, 4-9 boxes of rockets, a plasma rifle (hard skill only), and a computer area map. (sector 101)

5. From #4, head through a door to the north then a door to the east. There is a secret door to the north leading to a room with some monsters and items. (sector 66)
6. After going through #5, the path curves east - straight ahead is a secret door leading back to the earlier area (this secret can be accessed from either side). (sector 63)
7. In the south-east of the level are some short dead-end passages spelling out 'MUD'. To the west of these is an alcove with a secret door to the west (marked with a misaligned texture) leading to five medikits (one on easy skill), two boxes of shotgun shells (one on easy skill), three boxes of rockets, and a BFG9000 (hard skill only). (sector 116)

12. See #11. (sector 122)
13. Immediately west of #12 is a secret door leading to a room with 2-7 demons. (sector 117)
14. The door leading to the blue key counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 167)
15. The blue door (leading to the exit) counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 143)

Bugs

Three boxes of rockets (Things 399, 477 and 478) have no flags set for any of the difficulty classes, so they do not actually appear in the level.
