Level 7: Research Lab: 4 Secrets

Discover all 4 hidden secrets in Doom 64's Level 7: Research Lab! Find the Rocket Launcher, Super Shotgun, Computer Area Map, and Berserk pack with this quick guide.

Alright, let's dive into Level 7: Research Lab and track down all four of its secrets. These aren't too tricky, but you'll need to keep an eye out for those sneaky fake walls and hidden passages. Let's get 'em!

Secret 1: Rocket Launcher & Rockets

1. First off, play through the level normally until you reach the room containing the Blue Key and a bunch of Lost Souls.
2. Once you've dealt with all those pesky Lost Souls, head through the other exit in that room.
3. You'll see a door right in front of you. Before going through it, carefully search the walls to its left. You're looking for a section of wall that will lower when you get close enough.
4. Found it? Awesome! Head through the newly revealed passage. This secret area contains both a Rocket Launcher and a Box of Rockets, so it's definitely worth finding.

Secret 2: Computer Area Map

1. From where you found Secret 1, backtrack to the door you saw earlier and open it.
2. Head through the door directly across from you. Now, make your way upstairs and open the door at the top.
3. You'll enter a maze-like area. Just push through to the opening on the other side – either path works.
4. Once through the maze, go straight ahead until you reach an opening, then take the first right.
5. You'll see two doors on your left. Open the *second* door on the left and go inside.
6. In this room, you'll see a platform. Step onto it to grab the Super Shotgun.
7. Now, while still on the platform, carefully run onto the adjacent platform covered in computer panels. The panel closest to the door you just came through is actually a fake wall.
8. Walk right through that fake wall to discover a secret room containing a Computer Area Map. Handy!

Secret 3: Soulsphere

1. Keep progressing through the level until you reach the Blue Key.
2. Important: Don't jump off the platform where the Blue Key is just yet!
3. Instead, wait around for a wall in front of you to lower. This will reveal a hidden alcove.
4. Step into this alcove to grab a Soulsphere and get credit for the third secret.

Secret 4: Berserk Pack

1. Continue playing until you find the *second* Blue Door in the level (make sure it's not the one leading to the Plasma Gun).
2. Open this Blue Door and proceed through it.
3. Head down the stairs and go through the door directly in front of you.
4. In this next room, move forward until you see a lift. Lower the lift.
5. While the lift is down, thoroughly search the walls to your right. You're looking for another lowering wall.
6. Once that wall has fully lowered, quickly move through it. This secret room is packed with Rockets, Shotgun Shells, and a Berserk Pack! Grab 'em all and you've found the last secret in Research Lab. Nice work!
