E2M2: The Lumber Mill

At starting, exit the house and go to the left. Very near at right there's sawing material in gradually rising piles. Jump up, go to the highest of them, break the window and jump in. At to the right is a small room full of monks. Litted TNT should clear it fully. Push the cupboard to reveal small niche behind it.

Contains: Body shield

A large zombie resides inside circular building where also key lays. There's a hole in ceiling, obviously unreachable. Try to use zombie as a ladder (you may get some unpleasant whipping damage from this and zombie won't stand still all the time) or use Boots of Jumping to get up. Spiders rush to attack you when you put your head up there.
Contains: Several trigger bombs

Near previous building is shed with garden tools and zombies. Left wall will give way.
Contains: Doctor's Bag

In small courtyard with monks and zombies is a shovel (near house). Pull the shovel, so a hedge opens at front of you. There's a stoned guy which is a perfect target for pitchforking.
Contains: Invulnerability

Swimming pool and a plank for diving in. Remove swimming beasts first and then jump and dive in using plank. Turn around and you'll figure out a small niche which opens under jumping plank.
Contains: Life seed

At the end of this map, drop a piece of dynamite at your feet and propel yourself on top of the fence and look at the window. It looks like there is somebody in the window!
Contains: N/A *new*

E2M4: The Overlooked Hotel

Seventeen secrets here, oh dear... and I must give some presentations about them to you... and don't forget the tomes, they let you pass to the secret level. Remember that you must go through all entrys to secret passage or you won't get all secrets.
In the hedge maze, there's small pillar lift up (near two large zombies). Walk and jump over hedges to the flares.

At the another end of The Secret Passage is different colored wall, guess again what lurks behind.

    E2M5: The Haunting

    As you begin to rise stairs inside the hedge wall, you probably note the different colored hedge facing the light.

    SUPER SECRET: Before the maze filled with zombies, there's a pool with a doctor's bag located on the courtyard. An archway leads to the zombie maze. Stop just before the archway and tune your audio equipment so that you hear all sounds loud and clear. Walk thru the archway and follow the path to the right. Continue a short while. Turn from a corner and continue again slowly. Now, you should hear some humming. As you approach next corner, the humming comes slightly louder. The pathway turns to the left, but instead following it crouch few steps away, face to the left towards the fence and push it. You'll hit the invisible trigger. There's no visible sign and no other clue than the sound which reveals the SUPER SECRET.

    How to scavenge cheat codes from Blood?

    You can read all cheat codes from the Blood Executable file without problems if you have proper programs to display all file contents. Some disk editors or some file viewers could be handy. I used Directory Controller for DOS to view the file and then simply searched all text strings by pressing A. Well, near 1300000 bytes from the start of the file seems to be some interesting stuff. If you remember how alphabets go, you can read easily cheat codes, try for example LARA CROFT or FUNKY SHOES to help you, if you won't get any enlightment by writing them to paper...

    Worth of trying:
    During my experiments I invent a way to do very high leap. You have probably noticed that whipping wall with napalm launcher won't push you into air as in Quake. Try to jump directly upwards with jumping boots and when you're near the highest point, drop remote detonator with Alt-Fire and quickly blow it up. You get some damage unless you have god mode on and you really fly upwards more.

    E2M6: The Cold Rush

    You must jump over small deep hole before receiving key. If you look a little bit down, you'll see a ledge with items.
    Contains: Few bullets, 4 shells

    There's large ice cliff. You'll probably already noticed life seed from another side of chasm, you must travel nearer to jump to get it. From cliff it is pretty hard to get back, use Boots of Jumping, if possible.
    Contains: Life seed

    At the ledge after the jump exercise from the ice block to ice block, you'll note a crack in the far wall. Blow it up.
    Contains: Two spray cans, Boots of Jumping, way to another secret

    From previous secret, blow up another wall. You can go there also with boots from icy cave with monks and key.
    Contains: Box with TNT, shotgun, tommy gun

    There's a tower with hole on the ceiling. Use Boots of Jumping to get there.
    Contains: 2x promixity bombs, 3x remote detonators

    Back To Top
     

    E2M7: The Bowels of the Earth

    After very big jump over fiery chasm turn to right. There's some debris, when you investigate more closely, you discover passage beyond.
    Contains: 2x4 shells, life seed

    When you must go to the underwater, first use your diving suit to flip large wooden lever at the left to open a passage. Then go back and investigate right side corridor and rise to the surface.
    Contains: Diving suit, some other misc. stuff
     

    E2M8: The Lair of Shial

    It seems that there are no official secrets. Some items are lying around but you can find them pretty easily. And anyway it's useless to greed everything with you because this is the end (of Shial, of course).

    Back To Top
     

    E2M9: Thin Ice

    From the start swim under the ice, to the left, behind the wall.
    Contains: Full armour, doctor's bag

    In a large ice field where ice will crack and form the opening, jump to the water, swim towards the path onwards and a bit to the left. There will be opened a new way where you came from. Swim closer, water monsters will attack you. Finish them off and examine the place. You'll find small niche.
