Secrets

 * 1) At the bridge over the nukage river, look to the south to find a nukage fall.  Walk through it to find a blur artifact. (sector 109)
 * 2) In the northwest room with the blue door, the marble face carving at the north can be opened to reveal a soul sphere, four rocket boxes, a bulk cell, and a troupe of Arch-Viles. (sector 85)
 * 3) In the same room as secret #2, the demonic face carving at the south can be opened as well, unveiling combat armor, a box of ammo, a rocket box, two bulk cells, and a group of Barons of Hell. (sector 96)
 * 4) Behind the stairway with the yellow key switch, you can find combat armor. (sector 324)
 * 5) At the top level in the southeast metal room, there is a step you can use to climb onto the railing.  After you do so, move just slightly north of its center, and drop off its west side onto the pillar below to trigger this secret and obtain a blur artifact. (sector 836)
 * 6) At the well where you find the yellow key, the southern side's texturing is aligned differently than the rest.  Press on it to access a series of pillars with a medikit, a box of shells, a box of ammo, a box of rockets, and a bulk cell, in that order.  This secret actually consists of six sectors, including the lowering railing and each individual pillar, all marked as secret.  Note that to trigger the secret on the railing, you must wait in the space the railing occupied until it rises again. (sector 551)
 * 7) See above. (sector 552)
 * 8) See secret #6. (sector 553)
 * 9) See secret #6. (sector 554)
 * 10) See secret #6. (sector 555)
 * 11) See secret #6. (sector 695)
 * 12) Lowering the railing in secret #6 will also cause a brick pillar to lower temporarily, allowing you to obtain a berserk pack. (sector 556)
 * 13) Lowering the railing in secret #6 will also lower the pillar the Baron of Hell stands on at the southeast, letting you get twelve armor bonuses. (sector 527)
