Overview
Having difficulties unlocking the Hectic Super Secret Level and the “Features” menu that comes with it? Fear no more.
Unlocking the Super Secret Level
To reach Level 32-Hectic in Doom 64, you must start a new game. Go through Level 1 – The Staging Area, and destroy ALL the barrels, except the one to the right of the start. There are a total of 10. Remember the secret areas, the room with the exit, and the alcove in the hallway leading to the exit. Be sure to collect the Soul Sphere and Combat Armor for a better chance at surviving later on.
Once you’ve destroyed all of the level’s barrels, take the teleporter that you can access from the secret area behind the Blue Door. When you reappear, destroy the barrel ahead of you on your right and enter the door behind you. A secret area will temporarily open on the left wall that leads to Level 32 – Hectic.

Completing the Super Secret Level
Now remember, to access the Hidden Cheat Menu, you must get ALL THE THREE KEYS on Level 32, so here is how you go about doing that.
At the beginning of Level 32 – Hectic, enter the door to the right for the Red Key. Once you pick it up, you’ll be dropped into a room with three Arachnotrons. Quickly go left or right to get the Rocket Launcher. Destroy the Arachnotrons and return to the door that leads to this room. Beware of the crushers that come down from the ceiling, search the wall to lower it and let it raise you back to the main room.
Enter the door on the other side of the room to get the Blue Key. As soon as you get it, run back to the door you entered from. The ceiling will crush you if you stay in the alcove where you find the Blue Key. Four Hell Knights will appear and the door you came in from will be closed. Destroy them with your Rocket Launcher to be able to leave the room.
Enter the door on the left side of the room, at the opposite wall is the Yellow Key. The floor rises in different parts of the room, and darts will fire from the faces in there. Try your best to avoid damage while getting the Yellow Key.
Exit the room to return to the start. Directly across from you is a switch you will now be able to access. Having the keys, you can now remove the bars and press the switch to exit Level 32 -Hectic.
Once this is completed, you will gain access to the Features Cheat Menu in the Options. In that menu, you will find the following cheats:
1. Warp to Level – This is the ONLY way you can access Level 25 – Cat and Mouse, Level 26 -Hardcore, and Level 27 – Playground, three secret levels in between Level 24 and 28.
2. Invulnerability – Turn God Mode ON/OFF.
3. Health Boost – Allows you to restore health in game.
4. Weapons – Allows you to get all weapons and full ammo for each.
5. Map Everything – Turn Map Everything ON/OFF.
Beating stage 32 is VERY HARD, but if you succed and get all three keys, the cheat menu will appear.
