E1M1: The Docks
#1
In the southeast corner of the starting room, go behind the barrels and press on the brighter wall. You will find a chamber with a Silver Shield.

#2
Immediately after opening the first wooden door, you will see a wall with a demonic face that has a mouthful of skulls. This is a secret door. Open it to collect the Gauntlets of the Necromancer and a pair of Wand Crystals.

#3
When you come to the room with the window, check the eastern wall for a panel with an eagle insignia. This is another secret door. Pass through it to reach a platform near the docks where you can collect a Tome of Power. Do not drop down to the water, but instead pass the corridor you arrived from and follow another one to find an Ethereal Crossbow.
You can also reach these passages via a second secret door that looks just like the first one and is located in the corridor above the window room. The actual secret tag is at the top of the stairway from this second door.

Go through this passage and down the stairs beyond to earn a secret. An ambush will trigger. Continue heading down the stairs and a passage to the central area will open.

The northwestern orthogonal room with the Bag of Holding has an eagle insignia on a wall. Press it to reveal more of similar architecture. The uncovered place contains some Mace Spheres and an Energy Orb.
E4M4: Sepulcher
#1-2
When you press the fourth switch near the sepulcher, a wall will also descend in the eastern nitrogolem room. Enter the narrow corridor beyond the opened wall and you will get behind the windows where the undead warriors could fire at you. (#1)
The mentioned switch has also opened a wall in the opposite nitrogolem room. Collect the Enchanted Shield at the end of the revealed corridor, and you will open a route back to the courtyard. (#2)

#3
In the hall with the ornamental platform, there is a staircase that allows you to reach the structure. The long top step is actually an elevator that can be activated by pressing the switch in its eastern wall. On the bottom of the shaft, there is an underground corridor holding a Phoenix Rod.

#4
The switch in the starting area (available after visiting other rooms at the corners of the area) will lower the high ledge in the center hall giving access to the northern section of the building.

#5-6
There is a fake wall near the iron lich in the secret northern section (see secret #4 above). While it seems that the wall only conceals a room with a Ring of Invincibility, crossing it will also open new areas in the other corridor. (#5)
The western corridor now has an access to two side rooms. One holds the Wings of Wrath while the other contains a Bag of Holding and the entrance to the secret level (E4M9: Mausoleum). (#6)
E4M9: Mausoleum
#1-3
The lava lake on the west side of the map has three branches that go to the east, each of which leads to a secret door with undead warriors inside: the further south contains a Shadowsphere. (#1)
The branch of the medium has some Quartz Flasks. (#2)
The northern branch contains ammunition and a Mystic Urn. (#3)

#4
In the eastern room with long stairs, the southeast landing has a blue banner that hides a door to a secret chamber, with health, ammo and the Wings of Wrath.

#5
After entering to the exit room, and push the switches, go back to the starting room. Go east to the first intersection and then turn south. Enter the door on the right and go to the northwest corner of the room and push the switch. This will reveal another Iron Lich and an Enchanted Shield.
E4M5: Great Stair
#1
When you pick up the blue key, you will open many disciple rooms in the north. However, that very same trigger will also open the wall with the eagle insignia near the place you got the Hellstaff. Return there to find a new area.
E4M6: Halls of the Apostate
#1
Go to the exit room, then immediately run out again and head to the chained man lift to the north that has lowered to reveal a passageway. This leads you to the room overlooking the lava bridge area, where you can collect the Phoenix Rod.
E4M7: Ramparts of Perdition
#1
From the starting castle, run off into the lava pit in the northwest direction to where there's a small ledge with a crystal vial. The wall right behind this ledge is pass-through leading you to a secret chamber with a Morph Ovum and a teleport that takes you to the gibbet.

#2
In the yellow key room, step onto the lift, then immediately cross over to the matching lift that lowers when you do so. Ride it up to a secret containing a Ring of Invulnerability. If missed, the access to this secret cannot be re-triggered.

#3
After collecting the yellow key, investigate the northern alcove that opened below. The unusually large green block marks a secret door leading to a Map Scroll and a second door behind which the Mystic Urn and an Inferno Orb can be found.

#4
In the chapel stained glass room, dash from the balcony into the alcove of the D'Sparil window. It opens, and entering grants access a secret chamber containing a Tome of Power behind you.

#5
When collecting the green key, doors temporarily open across the room to either side of the horsemen panel, leading to a small chamber containing a Chaos Device. This can be re-triggered as desired.
E4M8: Shattered Bridge
#1
The yellow key sector, mandatory for completion.

#2-3
Both secrets are located at west and east elevated side passages where there are barred windows, through a secret door marked with spinal columns.
E5M1: Ochre Cliffs
#1
After you get the green key, or after you enter the room where you found it, quickly jump down into the river to the south. At the east end, you will find that a lift has been lowered, allowing you to drop down into a cave with ammo, a Phoenix Rod, and health items.
E5M2: Rapids
#1
The lava chambers that are revealed as a side area after visiting the switch that lowers the yellow key. Extra Quartz Flasks, weapons and an Enchanted Shield can be found in this area.

#2
Past the yellow door, in the ambush room with the barrels, the north side has a fake wall. Behind it is a Tome of Power and a switch which temporarily lowers a nearby lift.
This lift takes you up to a ledge overlooking the lava chambers, with a Morph Ovum.

#3
A side area off of the rivers beyond the pod room is noticeable by a shadowed overhang. Going here drops a lift leading to an Enchanted Shield.

#4
Across from the switch after the green door, there is a secret door to the left of the hanging skull. A Ring of Invulnerability can be found overlooking the lava chambers.

#5
Near the ledge overlooking the yellow door, there are a couple of secret chambers marked with hanging skulls. One contains a Phoenix Rod, while the opposite contains Wings of Wrath.
E5M3: Quay
#1
Backtrack to the very start of the level any time after you've climbed to the top of the stairs leading out of that chamber. Walls have lowered revealing some items including a Bag of Holding as well as some ophidians guarding the stash.

#2
The iron lich monster closet that opens when collecting the yellow key is considered a secret.

#3
In the large room with barrels along the sides, past the green door, drop off of the lift onto the barrels themselves and use them as a walkway.
Following the north side path leads you to an Enchanted Shield beyond which is a secret door allowing you to escape the lowered chamber you drop off into.

#4
Do the steps necessary to complete the level, but instead of taking the standard exit, go back to the bridge room and find a new chamber open in the water near the blue door.
Take the teleport inside and find yourself in the ophidian tower, where you can pull a switch that opens the wooden bars. In the chamber past the bars, the southeast wall is fake, with gargoyles coming out from behind it. Beyond the fake wall is an alternate exit which will take you to E5M9: Skein of D'Sparil.
E5M9: Skein of D'Sparil
This level has no secrets.
E5M4: Courtyard
#1
Right behind you, at the start, is a secret door leading to a lift which leads to a small area with a Bag of Holding and a Morph Ovum.

#2-3
After getting the yellow key, two secret rooms will open up to the west and south. They contain ammo and health items.

#4
Behind the yellow door is a room with stained glass windows. There's also a switch in there; if you push it, the northwest window will change. You can now walk through it to come to a room with four teleporters and a Map Scroll.
E5M5: Hydratyr
#1
A wall lowers when you take the Hellstaff, and entering the area behind it counts as a secret.

#2-3
In the green key room, there's a switch along the side of the area that lowers a section of the outer walkway down to the lava. This reveals a teleport chamber through which you can get behind some of the barred closets on the sides of this area. This also applies to secret #3, at the opposite side.

#4
Atop one of the timebomb lifts past the green door, there's another spinal column wall which opens to a passageway where the Phoenix Rod can be found.

#5
The northwest of the six teleports in the teleport nexus takes you to a balcony over the green key room, which counts as a secret.
E5M6: Colonnade
#1-2
Enter the exit chamber to open the secret sector, then backtrack to the silver room, hit the small red-eyed skull wall with any weapon, causing it to open. You can now go straight through and around the bend to get to the lava chamber containing a Mystic Urn. The north side also contains a Ring of Invulnerability for another secret.
E5M7: Foetid Manse
#1
When inside the main wall of the southwestern building, push on the southernmost square fortification, where the texture pattern is broken, to find a Morph Ovum.

#2
When you find the blue key, hit the east wall next to the hanging skull to lower a passage leading to a Chaos Device.
