Level 22: Burnt Offerings: 6 Secrets

Master Level 22: Burnt Offerings in Doom 64! Follow our expert guide to uncover all 6 hidden secrets, from crushing ceilings to hidden teleporters and powerful pickups.

Alright, let's dive into Level 22, "Burnt Offerings." This level's got some neat secrets, and we're gonna find all six of them. Stick with me, and you'll snag all the goodies without breaking a sweat.

Secrets 1 & 2: The Courtyard Pillars

Right at the start, head outside and take a right into the courtyard. You're looking for a room with a bunch of pillars. Go inside and open the door. Once you're in this new room, check out the wall directly across from the staircase on your right. Give it a nudge – it'll open up, revealing a secret room. Just stepping inside counts as Secret #1.

Now, for Secret #2, turn right. You'll spot a Backpack on a platform with a switch. Hit that switch; it'll lower the platform. Hop on to grab the Backpack and get credit for Secret #2. Quick heads-up: the ceiling here is a crusher, so grab your stuff and get out fast!

Secrets 3 & 4: The Blue Door Teleporter

Keep progressing through the level until you snag the Blue Key and reach the Blue Door. Before you blast through it, take a right. You'll see a wall that looks a bit suspicious. Press C-Right on it, and bam! Another hidden room opens up, this one with a teleporter. Step inside for Secret #3.

For Secret #4, just step onto that teleporter. It'll whisk you away to a hidden area where you'll find a Megasphere. Grabbing that counts as Secret #4. The teleporter will then drop you back into that big pillar room we were in earlier.

Secret 5: The Rocket Launcher Ambush

Head back to that Blue Door and go through it this time. You'll see a Rocket Launcher in the middle of the room. Before you grab it, check out the walls to your left. One of them will lower, revealing a switch. Hit it! This raises barriers around the Rocket Launcher. Now, grab the weapon, and you'll trigger a barrage of homing missiles. Don't worry, those barriers will protect you. Once the missiles stop, a door will open. Go through it, turn left, and examine the wall across from you. It'll open, leading to a secret room with a MegaArmor and 3 Boxes of Rockets. That's Secret #5! Oh, and if you go to the bottom of the stairs in this room and examine the wall opposite, it'll open a shortcut back to the stairs that led you to the Blue Key.

Secret 6: The Courtyard Gargoyle

From Secret #5, go back up the stairs to where you got the Blue Key. Head down the passage next to you. You'll see two balconies on your left overlooking the main courtyard. Go to either one. In the center of the courtyard, there's a gargoyle statue on a raised ledge. Shoot it with your Pistol, Shotgun, or Chaingun. After a short wait, the gargoyle will transform into a Soulsphere, and the ledge will lower. Jump down into the courtyard and step onto the Soulsphere's spot to claim Secret #6. Nice work!
