Quake: All Secrets Guide (2021 Episode)

This level contains only a single (unmarked) secret.

1/1 – As per Quake fashion, Dimension of the Machine has a start map of his own where you select the difficulty level you like to play on by going through the appropriate portal. Likewise, the highest difficulty level, Nightmare (which is, in its modernized form is Hard with 50 HP cap) with its portal hidden out of sight. To access Nightmare difficulty, go towards the portal that leads to hard but instead of stepping into that one, jump into the opening to its right and follow the passage till you find the related portal.

This level does not contain any secrets.

As the map name suggests, The Machine serves as the hub with five open portals that lead to five realms found within the dimension, with a sixth one becoming available after you collect the five runes from the said realms. From the starting point, the chamber to your left has three portals that lead to the realms of the Machinists, the Blacksmiths and the Stonemasons; while the one to your right houses the two remaining portals to the realms of the Cultists and the Astrologers. You can go through the realms in any order, but since the map / file names suggest so, the guide follows the order outlined above.

This level contains five secrets, one of them being a secret exit.

1/5 – As you cross the bridge, jump on to the railing to your left and look down to see a biosuit. Jump down, get the suit and continue by the slime to reach a power-up.

2/5 – On the same spot with the previous secret, push the button next to the power-up. Move on and exit the slime pit. The door opposite the gold key door should now be open. Get in there and explore.

3/5 – Look upwards and shoot the button to open the door with an armor behind it. While you are here, hit the two identical rune plates found within the area. Find two more of the same plates in the next area that houses the gold key hit them too. After hitting all four of them, an on-screen message states that ‘a door has been opened’. Continue on for now.

4/5 – In the room accessed by using the gold key, an armor can be seen residing on top of a beam. Simply jump your way to it with the help of the nearer beam. You need to make a 180 degree turn in the air during your second jump.

IMPORTANT: If you want to get 100% kills for the level, follow the path before you and kill the remaining monsters that are located more or less around the next corner; but do not go through the pipe that acts as the exit, because the fifth and the final secret leads to a secret level.

5/5 – Return to the central elevator. If you shot the four rune plates as described in the third secret, an alcove with a biosuit and a floor button should now be open. Get the biosuit -stepping onto the button in doing so-, drop down to the lower floor and dive into the slime to find the newly-opened gate. Swim through it to access the secret level, Sandy’s Room.

This secret level contains four secrets.

1/4 – In the first room, hit the bloody demon plate to reveal a hidden compartment.

2/4 – In the room that houses the silver key, shoot the bloody demon plate below the walkway to reveal another hidden compartment.

3/4 – While going through the rather large hall with the gold key door on one end and a locked one on the other, look for another bloody demon plate to hit that reveals yet another hidden compartment.

4/4 – Following on from the previous secret, drop down to the floor below as you go through the bridge surrounded by lava falls to find a hidden weapon and some ammo.

This level contains six secrets.

1/6 – In the first room, go to far left and hit the grating on the wall to access the armor that resides behind it.

2/6 – In the room with the giant gear on one end and the gold key door on the other, look for another grating on the wall and hit it to access the ammo that resides behind it.

3/6 – Following on from the previous secret, look for a hidden button behind the planks on the walls and shoot it to open up the door next to it that leads to a hidden area (albeit a nasty one).

4/6 – In the slime pit, look for a slightly out-of-sight floor button behind a grating. Step on the button and check the other side of the pit to find a megahealth that can now be picked up.

5/6 – Go to the very end of the room in which you get ambushed by grunts, enforcers and rottweilers to find stairs leading to the lower floor. Kill the vore waiting for you and press the two buttons to open the next door that leads to a hidden area.

6/6 – As soon as you get the gold key, jump on to the nearby pipes and get to the other side of the walkway to find a megahealth.

This level contains ten secrets.

1/10 – Right at the beginning, make your way to the area behind the portal to find hidden ammo.

2/10 – Upon reaching the bridge that leads to the main gate, look to your left to see a narrow ledge. Jump down there and turn the corner to find some ammo on the other side.

3/10 – Still on the bridge, this time look to the left of the main gate to see a semi-hidden portal glowing red in the corner. Utilize the bricks across from where you are standing and then the pillar next to it to make your way to it and get teleported to a ledge overlooking the gate that houses a quad damage (might be better to use it later though).

4/10 – Use the jut of the pillar as a stepping stone to jump across the ledge and reach the armor on the other side.

5/10 – Before pressing the button, look for a ledge at the back of the room that you can drop down to and continue towards the light to find a hidden megahealth.

6/10 – Jump from the walkway to the roof of the sunken tower below and check the tower next to it to find a hidden weapon and some ammo.

7/10 – Before getting the gold key, drop down into the opening on the roof you are on to find another hidden weapon.

8/10 – Move left alongside the ledge overlooking the pit and jump across to a thinner one that only slightly juts out from the rocks to find a hidden alcove with a megahealth inside.

9/10 – Before going into the the sunken tower, utilize the bricks next to it to reach yet another hidden weapon that resides on the ledge.

10/10 – At the top of the sunken tower, before going into the intact one next to it, drop down to the lower floor to find a armor hidden away in the corner.

This level contains eight secrets.

1/8 – Get the elevator moving by stepping into it, step aside without riding it and drop down into the opening to get the items residing below.

2/8 – After getting teleported out of the previous secret, also check the path that lies on the other side of the elevator to find an otherwise out-of-reach armor.

3/8 – Drop down to the ledge below the stairs and follow the path to its end to find a hidden weapon and ammo.

4/8 – Following from the previous secret, turn around after passing through the tunnel in the middle of the walkway and jump to the ledge to get the weapon.

5/8 – Right after the previous secret, look for a button in the corner as soon as you drop down to the next area and shoot it to reveal a tunnel that leads to a hidden armor.

6/8 – Jump across to the ledge below the stairs and follow the path by the outer wall to reach a hidden armor.

7/8 – Jump down from the walkway to the top of the tunnel below to get the ammo lying out in the open.

8/8 – Right after the previous secret, get on the roof to the left and turn around to find a ledge with the part of the wall above it looking slightly indented. Jump on the ledge and hit the wall to reveal a hidden area.
