At the start of this level continue through the water to the final room in the back, shoot all the flying enemies above you as you go to get rid of them now. Ignore the Ogres for the most part, shoot them if they are clearly visible but don't waste a ton of ammo on them. Our goal at the start of this level is to find Secret #1 because that will give us Quad Damage and port us up to the next part.
Once you teleport up you'll have some enemies to defeat after which you'll want to shoot the button on the ceiling. This will remove the bars blocking your path forward, continue along the linear route defeating enemies as you go until you find a small room with a wooden floor. Activate the pillar in this room to open the door; you'll see the message "A bridge has been raised".
The newly raised bridge will take you to a small room with two switches, the first one activates some stairs so you can reach the second switch. Hitting the second switch will open a new path forward on the wall opposite from the switch. This will reveal a whole new area with two large towers and some water under them. Ogres will throw grenades from the windows in these towers, use a Rocket Launcher to take them out.
Jump down into the water and proceed up the path inbetween the towers, first go left and jump up the thin strips of ledge to the top. Once you press the button at the top go to the second tower. Grab Secret #2 for some Quad Damage then climb to the top. You'll find another weird pillar here, activate it and you'll get the message "The center bridge has changed..."
Return to the room with the bridge that we previously activated, you'll be able to go a new way this time. Ride the elevator down that's marked with the picture of a Gold Key and an arrow pointing down. Inside this room you need to hit a button on the wall across from the locked Gold Key Door. When you do you'll get a message "The second floor is accessible..."
Use the elevator to ride up to the second floor and grab Secret #3 to help with the combat. You need to hit two buttons here to unlock the third floor and then you'll ride the elevator up again to that floor which is where you find the Gold Key. Now that you have the Gold Key you'll want to return to the first floor and open the door. Inside the room you'll find enemies and another pillar that you can activate - this will change the central bridge for a final time.
Go across the bridge yet again to an elevator that you will have to ride (very slowly) down. During your elevator ride many enemies will appear to harass you, when you reach the bottom a door will open (very slowly) and it'll reveal a new enemy type (it's called a Vore). Defeat any enemies and then grab the Rune that's here; after doing that exit to complete this chapter.
Secret #1
Secret #1: When the level first begins run through the water until you reach the second room; look up along the bridge that goes overtop of the water for a switch. Shoot this switch and you will open a secret door nearby, inside you'll find a suit of red armor, Quad Damage and a slipgate which will teleport you to the room above you.
Secret #2
Secret #2: This secret is found inside of the large two tower building. When you get the iron bars withdrawn in the right tower you'll want to swim down into the water below. There will be a small cubby with Quad Damage inside, get close to it and you'll claim this secret.
Secret #3
Secret #3: You'll find this secret on the second floor of the 3 story tower. My advice is to keep an eye out for "The second floor is accessible..." message during this mission. Once you see this you know that you're getting close. On the second floor you'll find an iron wall which stands out, shoot it and you'll reveal the secret room. Inside is a Pentagram of Protection.
