Secrets[edit]

  1. As you head into the corridor after the first staircase, a lift will lower behind you, revealing a switch. This switch lowers a lift opposite, revealing another switch, which opens a door in the starting area revealing several monsters, two medikits, two boxes of bullets, two boxes of shotgun shells, two boxes of rockets, and a rocket launcher. Both the door and the room itself count as separate secrets. (sector 3)
  2. See #1. (sector 4)
  3. After you teleport into the second O, shoot the easternmost face texture. A door opens, revealing a backpack, a plasma rifle, and some ammo. (sector 73)
  4. On teleporting into the M, there are two switches ahead of you. The western one briefly lowers a platform to the west containing a soul sphere. Note that this platform can only be lowered once. (sector 133)
  5. After taking the teleporter at the start of the M section, head north to a cliff-edge. Jumping down the centre of the cliff takes you to a platform with a BFG9000 and two energy cell packs. (sector 132)
  6. After entering the final room, walk forward a bit - a platform will lower in the north-eastern corner of the M containing a soul sphere and an invulnerability. (sector 155)
