When the mission first begins you'll want to grab all available guns and ammo in the first room along with Secret #1. Continue through the first hall to find the trap room; when you step into the middle of this room you will activate the trap and cause multiple buttons to appear around you. One will be directly above you, and there will be two more - one above each exit to the room.
After shooting all 3 buttons you will open the middle grate in the ground and fall through. Follow the linear path into the next room, defeat the enemies in here then ride the elevator up. This next room will have a trap floor that drops you into lava, it also has Secret #2 nearby.
In the next room you'll find a set of spinning blades, you'll need to navigate through them diagonally to reach a button. Pressing this button will open the gates nearby and let you hit another button which will activate a bridge for you. Follow the path overtop the bloody water and defeat the enemies as you go. When you reach the second corner in this area you should jump off into the water and swim around to the back.
You'll find a Ring of Shadows in the back along with a teleporter that spits you out back onto the walkway nearby. Defeat all the enemies while you're invisible then grab the Silver Key. Use the key on the nearby door and then grab Secret #3 and Secret #4 inside. Hit the button on the ledge to open the door and continue forward. In the next room you'll find a bridge going over some more blood-water.
Jump into the water and swim through a tunnel to reach Secret #5. At the end of this hallway you will find a pool of blood water that you must swim through, you will meet some fishies in the tunnel before you surface in the same room as Secret #6. Defeat the enemies, grab the secret and continue up the stairs to reach the level's exit.
Secret #1
Secret #1: In the first room of this mission there will be four faces on the wall, shoot all of them and a button will appear on the floor. Stand on the button and you will reveal the first secret, a suit of red armor (+200 Armor).
Secret #2
Secret #2: Ride the giant elevator up to the room with the trap floor that drops you into lava. Shoot the face up here just before that trap floor and you'll reveal a hidden area with a +100 Health Crate.
Secret #3
Secret #3: This secret as well as Secret #4 are both found inside of the Silver Key Room. Our first secret is found next to the stairs in the corner. The wall is slightly off color, shoot it to reveal a hidden area with a Slipgate portal. Hop in and you'll be taken to the Quad Damage upstairs.
Secret #4
Secret #4: Above the Silver Key Door you'll find a stone button that you can push in. To reach this button you will need to jump from the nearby stairs, once it's pushed an opening will appear on the wall nearby. It's actually easier to reach the opening from the other ledge nearby instead of from ontop of the door. Inside of this secret area you will find a Pentagram of Protection along with a weird rock thing which you can activate by shooting the button on the ceiling.
Secret #5
Secret #5: Once you pass the room with the previous two secrets you'll come to the room pictured below with a bridge that goes over a pool of blood. Jump into this pool of blood and swim through a tunnel to reach the next secret area.
Secret #6
Secret #6: Shortly after the previous two secrets you'll need to swim through blood, you'll surface in the room pictured below. All you need to do in this room is walk into the wall that I marked and that will push it open. Inside will be some ammo along with a +100 Health Crate.
