This guide will help you find all the secrets in the 1st Quake expansion pack: Scourge of Armagon.

This expansion has a total of 77 secrets across 18 levels, as well as several unmarked secrets (which don't count as official secrets but often have substantial rewards).

Scourge of Armagon is divided in to three episodes:

• Episode 1: Fortress of the Dead
  
• Episode 2: Dominion of Darkness
  
• Episode 3: The Rift

This expansion pack includes several new weapons and items exclusive to these levels:

Like the original Quake the introductory level for Scourge of Armagon also has a hidden Nightmare Difficulty portal. If you want to find it head down the left corridor marked "EASY". Follow the corridor around until you find an EXIT sign pointing to another "EASY" sign. Don't go in there, instead carry on down the corridor to the right ().

In the next room you will find a storage area for crates. Move between the gap () to the middle of this small area.

From here you can see a stack of various brown crates. Jump up the smaller ones () to find an elevator which will take you up to an area containing the Nightmare Difficulty portal.

Reward: Nightmare Difficulty

While descending the first set of stairs go through the door on your right. In this large room look for a red target switch () embedded in the ceiling of a dark area. Shoot it and a wall () will move and reveal a dark secret area.

Reward:

Return to the first set of stairs and go down in to the next room that contains a Nailgun and several other items. Shoot the wall just to the left of the two Small Health items to reveal a secret.

Reward:

From the room where you found Secret 2, take the only exit that isn't a set of stairs. After a corridor containing a Laser Cannon you will find a room that contains a blue forcefield and a computer console. Shoot the slightly darker part of one of the ceiling lights () to reveal a secret behind the computer console ().

Reward:

Once you reach the large outside area head underneath the metal bridge structure. Look up to see a red target switch () that when shot will make a nearby secret wall () move. Inside you will find the Proximity Launcher which is one of the new weapons for this expansion pack.

Reward:

Shortly after opening the Gold Keycard Door you will be in the final room with the exit Slipgate. Don't go in yet, instead try jumping up and down near the brown crates and you can just see a red switch () embedded in to the top of one. Shoot it to have several smaller crates pop out that will allow you to jump up the top () and drop down behind the Slipgate to find the secret.

Reward:

After you have activated the hover platforms over the water you will go up some stairs and straight ahead is a Super Nailgun. On your right is a large viewing window that overlooks the Slipgate entrance for this level. Shoot a specific part of the wall when looking out the window to reveal a secret area.

Reward:

Shortly after Secret 1 you will enter a room filled with crates and there is an ambush with many Grunts and Enforcers. There are several items on the crates but one counts as a secret. Drop down from above or jump up from some other crates to this crate () near some Small Shells. Go through a small gap between the crates in to a dark area to find the secret.

Reward:

To find the secret exit for this episode you will need the Proximity Launcher weapon. Shortly after you leave the room for Secret 2 you will find a Proximity Launcher ().

Drop down in to the room directly in front of you. Above the door in that room is a red target switch () that temporarily activates the secret exit door and bridge. The problem is it shuts off before you'll be able to run across the force bridge and reach it. To overcome this time limit, equip the Proximity Launcher and fire a proximity grenade directly on to the red target switch.

The proximity grenades explode after approximately 20 seconds which will give you more than enough time to run through the door underneath the switch, over the force bridge (), up the stairs and in to room containing the exit () to the secret level for this episode: HIP1M5: Military Complex.

Reward: SECRET LEVEL

At the start of the level jump in to the water and head through the metal tunnel. When you come to the corner of the tunnel look straight up to see a red target switch that when shot will cause a lift to raise you up out of the water and in to the secret.

Reward:

While you are tracking down the red diamond buttons to continue the level you will briefly head outside to this small area with a guard tower. Look carefully in to the guard tower to see a red target switch. Shoot it to allow access to the guard tower and the secret.

Reward:

Shortly after Secret 2 you will come across a metal bridge. Jump up on the side () and look for corner with several boxes of Large Nails(). Approach them to claim the secret.

Reward:

Right next to another red diamond button you will see a large window that overlooks the start of the level. Jump out of the window and on to a nearby ledge (), then head across it to find a secret Super Nailgun ().

Reward:

After opening the Silver Keycard Door you will find yourself on a ledge above the Gold Keycard Door. Look carefully at the wall on your right to see a damaged section. Shoot it to reveal a secret area.

Reward:

Once you enter the actual mine you will head some dark tunnels. Shortly after a rolling boulder chases you will see a small pipe () on the left. Jump up on to it and follow in to the next room.

Straight ahead of you will a dark orange door () that will move out the way when you walk in to it. Go inside to find the secret.

Reward:

You will come across some explosive boxes wedged in to the rock. First jump up on to the bent metal track (), then on to the rock () and then jump in to the corner (). All you find here is a small light fixture but by jumping up here you will have discovered the secret.

To actually get the reward for this secret you must return to the previous room and look at the computer panels (). You'll see that one has moved to reveal a Ring of Shadows.

Reward:

After passing a window that shows a tumbling boulder machine you will enter a small room with electronic panels everywhere. Look around for a red diamond button () that when pushed will transform the red striped platforms in to stairs. Use them to climb up to the top of room ().

From here follow the computer cable platform round the corner () to find the secret.

Reward:

In the room that contains the Silver Keycard you can take some ramps up to the top of the room. When you reach a certain spot () you can hear the faint sound of a wall moving.

Reward:

After opening the Silver Keycard Door you will take an elevator in to a computer room. In the far corner on the side of one of the desks is a red diamond push button ().

After the pushing the button check the computer panels on the desk. One of them () will have moved to reveal a secret.

Reward:

Here is an interesting extra secret. Near to Secret 2 is a small balcony with a Laser Cannon however on the roof of this area () is a hidden item. The easiest way to get up there is to rocket jump. To do a rocket jump select your Rocket Launcher and aim down at your feet. Jump and then shoot the rocket launcher at the ground to give yourself a massive jump boost.

Now head back up the stairs and make a running jump on top of the door and then nudge the brick that is slightly sticking out of the wall (). This will open up a secret area () next to the door but the way through is currently barred and the message "This barrier is opened elsewhere" will appear. Remember this location for later during Secret 8.

Reward:

In the same room as the door from Secret 2 pick up a nearby Nailgun to trigger an enemy ambush. Look in the corner of the area the monsters came from to see a metal panel. Shoot it to make it move and allow access to a secret.

You will come to a ledge where you can see a blue window () and a red stained glass window. Shoot the blue window and it will make the adjacent wall move (). Look inside to find the secret.

Reward:

Continue through the level until you reach the large final exit door. Don't go inside, this is just the normal exit, but instead look above the exit to see a shootable red switch ().

While descending some stairs you will see a small room with a metal grate on the floor. While still on the stairs look straight up to see the first red shootable switch (). After shooting it return back up the stairs.

You will notice a central pillar has moved to reveal a Megahealth. Look straight up above the Megahealth to see a second red shootable switch (). Shooting this will make a nearby wall move and steps appear () to allow you access to the secret area.

Reward:

Shortly after picking up a Wetsuit and a Rocket Launcher you will see some water. Look straight up before going in to the water to see a red shootable switch (). Shoot it then jump in to the water.

Swim straight ahead and you will see a hole () you can use to get out of the water. In this small room you will find the secret.

Reward:

Shortly after Secret 3 you find the Silver Key. Look to the side to see a large square on the side of the wall. Shoot it to make the wall move out of the way and continue swimming through to find the secret.

Opposite the Silver Key Door is a yellow and purple stained glass window. Shoot it to allow access to a hidden teleporter behind it that will take you to the secret.

Reward:

Right at the end of the level you will come across a room with a glowing monster face on the wall. Shoot it to reveal a small secret area.

After going down some stairs you will enter a large room with several bookcases in the corner. Look carefully to see a small blue book () sticking out of the bookcase. Push it to make the other bookcase () swing round to reveal a secret.

Reward:

When you enter the large area with a lectern and seats jump up and approach the lectern () and the message "Look to the heavens for the answer..." will appear. Now look up to see a tiny red switch () embedded in to the ceiling. Shooting it will make the seat on the left () move out the way to reveal a teleporter. Jump in to it to claim the secret.

Reward:

There is a room where you are ambushed by some Fiends hidden behind a wall. To the right of that you will notice that part of the wall is a vertical brick that when shot will reveal a secret.

Reward:

Immediately after you pick up the Mjolnir weapon you will go up some steps. When you reach the top of the steps () you will hear a sound as several bricks behind you come out of the wall. Turn around to see they have formed a set of steps () up the side of the wall. Jump up steps to find a hidden area that will let you fall down in to the actual secret area.

Reward:

This secret involves jumping in to a shelf () to make a nearby wall move (). This secret is unusual because if you are playing on Easy there will actually be a step-ladder nearby to help you on to the shelf. However if you're playing on any other difficulty there won't be a step-ladder so the best method to get up there is to use your Rocket Launcher to rocket jump up there.

Reward:

In the same room as Secret 2 collecting the Double-Barreled Shotgun will make two Zombies spawn in the coffins. After killing the Zombies look in one of the coffins to see a piece of metal with a skull on it. Step on this to be teleported to the secret.

Shortly after the dangerous spike-pole trap room you will go down some stairs in to a room containing several coffins and gravestones. Jump up these blue blocks () and a nearby wall () will move to reveal a secret area.

Reward:

In the same room as Secret 5 you will use a metal skull teleporter to move to the next room. After you appear immediately take a right and look carefully at another indented blue wall that is on a thin ledge. Approach it to gain access to a secret area.

Reward:

Near the start of the level you will see two columns with a monster face decoration () between them. Shooting the face causes the nearby metal girder () to rotate and allow access to a secret.

Reward:

In the same location as Secret 2 shoot the monster face again to make the metal girder return to it's original position. Now jump on top of it and shoot the monster face yet again to make it lift you high up (). While you are up here you can grab the two Large Cells but the real secret requires you to jump over to the other side and touch this wall () to reveal a hidden area.

Reward:

This secret requires some complex jumping. First jump on to the metal pole () next to the stairs. Then make a big jump over to the crates ().

Reward:

From Secret 3 look closely at the mountain wall to see another ledge that you can jump over to (). Very carefully follow this extremely thin ledge up to the top of the mountain (). Once you're at the top the text "You're not supposed to be here!" will appear and several Spike Mines spawn and will immediately start attacking you.

After opening the Silver Runekey Door you will immediately see the Gold Runekey. Shoot the wall behind it to reveal a small secret area.

Reward:

In the same room as Secret 3 look for a white cross block () above the barrier and then shoot it. If you have also shot the red rune block from Secret 4 (Part 1) earlier in the level then the barrier here will move to allow access to the water.

When you enter the water look for a hole in the bottom of it (). Swim through it to find the secret exit for this episode: HIPDM1: The Edge of Oblivion.

Reward: SECRET LEVEL

NOTE: There are no secrets in this level.

The room you start in has several metallic monster faces on the wall. Shoot the ones on the left wall (+).
