This guide shows how to find secrets in Legacy of Rust.

Note: There are some levels that have no secrets and will not be added to this guide. These include: Spirit Drains and Brink.

E1M1: Scar Gate

#1

Go forward through the door, on your left and behind you is an alcove that will close off after 30 seconds from the start of the level.

#2-3

After riding the lift down, on your left just past the chainsaw is a hidden wall. Interact with it to reveal a staircase leading outside. (#2)


From secret #2, notice a green wall next to a barred window. Open it to reveal a teleporter. (#3)

E1M2: Sanguine Wastes

#1

In the open area with the bloodfalls at the back search behind one last pipe at the right corner just underneath the door above to find a berserk pack.

#2-3

In the room with the star on the floor where you meet the banshee for the first time, picking up a health bonus there will cause several compartments to open behind you. Fall down towards the northwest compartment and follow the path until a supercharge appears. (#2)

Do so for the southeast one for another secret. (#3)

#4-5

When you cross the bridge using the up & down mechanism you will see a skull in the wall at the other side of a small gap. Straferun across the gap and open the skull to reveal a berserk pack. (#4)


At the end of the bridge you will see a computer area map to your left. The nearby staircase with candles has a stained wall on either side. Open both walls and press the switches to raise stairs to the map. (#5)

#6-8

A hidden switch is near the skull switch at the top of the building that drain bloodfalls down. Press it and head southwest to a newly-revealed section with a hole in the wall and some hanging corpses inside, then follow the stairs up to find the red key. (#6)

Go back to the top of the building and walk around the brown railing to the southeast to land on a dead marine. (#7)


Behind the dead marine is a wall that requires the red key to open. Enter the third alcove that's flashing and press the switch there to see one of the walls with pipes descending, at the start of the bridge. Backtrack to that and ride it up to the exit stairs to E1M0: Ash Mill. (#8)

E1M0: Ash Mill

#1

From the starting area, head left and follow along the rock formation. Turn left again once you reach the edge of the formation, and pick up the chainsaw waiting on the platform.

#2

After going through the red door, there's a flight of stairs going down. Immediately turn left after the stairs, shoot any pillars in the way and weave through the trees. A berserk pack can be found at the end of the path.

E1M4: Descending Inferno

#1-2

In the second section of the starting crate room, one of the walls before the door to the outside has a different texture. (#1)


Press the switch there and return back to the first section. Shoot the switch behind the caged imps to open a secret door in the room connecting the two crate rooms, then straferun across to get a supercharge. (#2)

#3

Collect the red key on the lift and backtrack to where the switch for lowering the lift was. An alcove containing a megaarmor and a baron will open up.

#4

After taking the incinerator, there's a green armor on a crate in the next room. A lava fall nearby the green armor is a fake wall, so go through it and press the switch here. Return to where the incinerator was and straferun through a newly open corridor to get the green armor.

E1M5: Creeping Hate

#1

In the starting area, jump past the platform with the incinerator, and turn right. There's a green armor sitting on a raised platform. Jump towards it to land on a narrow ledge, then hug the wall while moving right to reveal stairs leading to the armor.

#2

Ride up the lift at the left past the red door and stay on the conveyor belt, and a switch will be revealed in the distance to the left. Shoot it and immediately turn around, where an alcove will open to reveal a chainsaw, a fuel can, a computer area map and a light amplification visor.

#3-4

In the blue key room there is a megaarmor sitting on a container. On your way killing the mancubus guarding the switch that unlocks the bars to the lift, interact with a wall to the left of the switch to reveal a green armor. (#3)


Continue until you kill the cyberdemon guarding the large skull lever to lower the platform with the blue key. Drop down to the right of where the cyberdemon was and move along the wall slightly right from the teleporter to a nook hidden by a partially transparent texture. Walk into it to be carried up to the megaarmor. (#4)

E1M6: The Coiled City

#1-9

After clearing the room with mindweavers and ghouls, you will arrive at a tower with a locked red gate on the right and a narrow path on the left. Continue moving forward past the gate and drop down to activate the switch on the left, which will reveal a megaarmor hidden behind the lift. (#1)

From secret #1 take the narrow path, and take the left path to the teleporter marked with warning signs. Quickly head to the left stairs and look left. There's a teleporter on the wall which will warp you to a supercharge. (#2)

Once you kill the mindweaver at the top of the stairs of secret #4, press the switch on the left wall to open the door directly in front of you and another one on the opposite side. The room ahead contains a mindweaver and stairs with a dead end; at the end of this dead end, there's indented nook with a switch hidden inside.

This switch will lower the floor at the starting area to reveal an invulnerability sphere. (#5)


From secret #5, turn right and run into the stairs with an incinerator with fuel cans sitting on the first step. (#6)
