  1. In the starting area, go to the southwest column and lower it from the west or south sides to find an energy cell pack. (sector 3)
  2. In the starting area, get out of the middle room and go to a column to the northeast. Lower it from any side except the south side to get a rocket launcher. (sector 4)
  3. Head north from the starting area to the left set of steps. Shoot in the middle of the steps, then head back south and slightly to the left as you head south. You will find a megasphere. (sector 15)
  4. In the northeast chapel, open the picture of Hitler and take the teleporter to get a chaingun and a berserk pack. (sector 68)
  5. In the northeast chapel, climb the west set of steps and enter the bright hall. Open the wall with the triangles at the south end to find a green armor and a teleporter. (sector 89)
  6. The teleporter in Secret #5 takes you to a stimpack. From here, jump southeast to get a BFG9000. (sector 86)
  7. In the cargo room at the south end, go to the west wall and look for caution stripes. Open that wall, flip the switch, and head to the east side. Climb up and head west, across a bridge to a chaingun, boxes of ammo, a megaarmor, and a BFG9000. (sector 128)
