Secrets[edit]

  1. Heading forward at the start, the section of wall on your right with blood splashes is a secret door leading to a shotgun, a box of shotgun shells, and a medikit. (sector 5)
  2. Continue along the first path until you reach a platform with a megaarmor. Turn right here and go up the stairs. There is a secret door to the north leading to two medikits, a box of shotgun shells, a backpack, and an imp (not on easy skill). The western part of this room has a secret door leading to a soul sphere. It is also possible to jump to the megaarmor from here. (sector 19)
  3. In the east of the level is a section with a water channel, a branch of which leads to a medikit. To the east of this medikit (near the barrel) is a secret door leading to a teleporter to the area at the top of the curved staircase. (sector 242)
