E1M5 - Gloom Keep
Secret 1
Start of the level is on a bridge, with an arched tower system. You see a doorway and you enter it, you turn left, then right then right again. You turn left into a hall. You are on the first floor. There are two paths you can take, the left and right path. You take the right path, go up the stairs, turn right, go to the end of the corridor and you see this, when you turn left and enter the room.

If you go through the front, it will take you to a room with health into it. If, however, you take the back route, it will take you to the quad artifact.
Follow the balcony to the bottom and look to your left. You'll see it.

If you do a 180o turn at the quad and jump directly into the water, you will see a small cave, in it you will get 100 health and some nails.
Secret 4
Go to the start of the level again. You see the towers, and the path running like a T-junction. Turn right down one of these paths and then turn left. Go through the door, turn right, and then left and go down that path.
Turn around and you should see this.

It is quite a tricky procedure, but when you get used to it, it'll be very useful. Start from the far left jump point, virtually next to the wall, jump onto the long edge of the second and wait until the last second to jump.
The secret has yellow armour and a few ammunition for you, pity there is no rockets.
Secret 5
This secret is at the end of the level, so before you leave, or telefrag yourself, look opposite the exit.

Shoot the different looking wall pattern and the stone will move revealing green armour, or if you play CTF, 100 health, and also a teleporter back to the action.
