Map of MAP09

Secrets

1. Take the tallest (western) lift at the start of the level and follow the narrow passageway at the top to its end. The inner walls of the passageway open up, revealing a much larger room with a brown slime pit in its center. Hit the switch at the far end of where the passageway was to raise a bridge crossing the slime pit. The rocket launcher platform midway across this bridge counts as a secret.
2. Continue across the bridge from secret #1. The ledge on the far side is a secret.
3. In the northeastern corner of the map, there is an outdoor area containing a circular structure surrounded by a moat of brown slime. Fall into the moat to cause the platform surrounding the circular structure to lower.
4. Follow the platform from secret #3 around the circular structure to its north side, which has a door leading to another secret area inside the structure.
5. Inside secret #4, open the wall with yellow lights at the bottom (right in front of the entrance door) to reveal a closet containing a BFG 9000.
6. After hitting the blue switch, a new area opens up in the previous room. Inside this new area is a triangular column with a switch on each of its three sides. Flip the switch on the western side of this column to open a door in the northeast of this room. In the next area, there is a fork in the path. The right side leads down a staircase to a teleport taking you back to the fork. Instead, take the left; a series of tall "stairs" that is actually made of lifts. When you move onto the first "step", the next one lowers; when you move onto the second the third lowers, and so on. When the final "stair" lowers, a secret platform will be revealed. Take the goodies here and step through the teleport to be taken back to the top of this area.
