Secrets[edit]

  1. In the middle of room of the map, make your way to the south skull switch and press it. Quickly run south and press the small lever switch to open the west wall and get rockets and shotgun shells. (sector 236)
  2. Take the first lift up, then go west and look for a satyr face to the north. Go under it to the left and use the lion face to get two rockets. (sector 284)
  3. The area northwest of the middle room of the map has a corpse near the east wall. If you head west of that wall and up the steps, you will be able to open that wall and find a soul sphere. To get the secret here, head to the room with the code for the blue skull key and enter the small room south of it. Flip the switch here and run back to the soul sphere alcove to find a megaarmor in the north alcove. (sector 379)
  4. In the big room at the south end, jump to the northwest, press the switch, and head west. Getting the berserk pack here opens the room up. Hit two more switches, one to the north and another to the southwest, then exit southeast. As soon as you descend some steps, look for a tiny switch at the north end of one of them and use it. This will reveal a soul sphere to the northwest. (sector 1224)
  5. After opening up the cyberdemon hall at the east side, return to the corridor east of the middle room and go to the east end, where there should be a switch at the east end before the dropoff as well as an alcove south of that switch with an energy cell pack and another switch. Flip the one near the dropoff first, raising a bridge to the east as well as opening a wall there, then quickly enter the alcove and flip that switch. Run across the bridge and then south to get a megasphere and rockets. (sector 1576)
  6. In the halls around the cyberdemon hall at the east side, go to the teleporter east of where the cyberdemon was and you will pop out in the southwest area. Re-enter the teleporter and flip the switch next to it, then quickly run into the teleporter and head east and southeast through the opening (the wall here should have been lowered by collecting the rocket launcher) and into a room with berserk packs, soul spheres, and a switch. (sector 1644)
  7. Flip the switch inside Secret #6 and quickly leave the room, re-entering the teleporter from before. Run west to collect the soul sphere from the alcove. (sector 1670)
  8. In the room past the rocket wall, go to the megaarmor to the north and find a switch on the southwest wall. Flip it and head west of there to get a rocket and a soul sphere. (sector 1800)
  9. In the hall south of the brown sludge room at the northwest end of the map, the skull switch at the south wall will lower you down, but it will also reveal an alcove to the northwest. Stand to the right (west) side of the switch and press it, then go northwest to get the soul sphere. (sector 1923)
  10. In the northernmost hall, press the switch to open six compartments. Enter the middle one at the west side and use the back wall to lower a megaarmor. (sector 1938)
  11. At the L-shaped hall at the southwest end, flip the small switch at the south end to open compartments to the west containing armor bonuses, energy cell packs, a rocket, a box of shotgun shells, and a backpack. (sector 2000)
  12. Open up the exit wall at the southeast end and flip the switch next to the exit sign. Enter and head straight southeast to the open alcove with a soul sphere. (sector 2219)
  13. In the north room with the soul sphere and armor bonuses, press the skull switch, then walk south all the way until the southeast wall opens. There will be a new skull switch here, which opens side compartments to the west and north. Enter the west one, flip the switch, then run northeast and east to an alcove with a berserk pack. (sector 2227)
  14. Open up the exit wall at the southeast end and flip the switch next to the exit sign. Enter and go south and east, going straight east to the open alcove with a green armor. (sector 2392)
  15. At the northeast end of the map, open an alcove containing an arch-vile and a switch at the northwest end of this area, then flip the switch, run west, then south towards a lift, then west into a small corridor to get rockets and stimpacks. (sector 3014)
  16. After you open the way back to the middle room from the corridor east of it, return to the middle room and head to the northwest of it, then look southeast for a small switch. Flip it, run back into the corridor, and take the second path south for a megasphere and rockets. (sector 3437)
  17. Shoot thirty-five rockets into the vending machine in the map. Afterwards, shoot or punch the two eyes to the sides until the eyes stay closed. This will open up the door in the east room with a yellow skull key and a red skull key, where the soul sphere is. You can now get rockets, a megaarmor, and a BFG9000. (sector 3525)
