Secrets[edit]
- From the octagonal room near the start, take the door to the east. Take the southern staircase - part-way along is a secret door (marked by a slight niche in the wall) leading to three shotgun guys and a door to a room with two imps and a plasma rifle. (sector 260)
- From the octagonal room near the start, take the door to the west. There is a secret door on the west wall (marked by a slight niche in the wall) just north of the alcove with the short red firestick leading to 4 shotgun shells and a switch which opens a door opposite. (sector 400)
- Go through the door opened in #2 - this leads to a box of bullets as well as a lift to two imps and a soul sphere (two in multiplayer). (sector 395)
- The curved corridors in the west have several alcoves, two of which (in the north-west) each contain a box of shotgun shells. The northern one has a secret door on the back wall leading to an armor. (sector 344)
- Just before the blue door is a secret door in the north wall (marked by a slight niche in the wall) leading to a backpack, a box of shotgun shells, a megaarmor, two energy cells, and four rockets. On multiplayer there is also three more rockets, another two energy cells, another backpack, and another megaarmor. (sector 1)
- The staircase leading up to the yellow door has a secret door on the south wall (marked by a lit lion's head) leading to a chainsaw. (sector 326)
