This level is one of the rare ones in Doom 64 where score-affecting Secrets include both objects and areas, and where the actual number of secret objects can change dynamically during play.
When the player first appears on this level, only 2 score-affecting Secrets exist: A blue Mega-armor vest, and the small square of floorspace beneath a Demon Artifact (one of three special objects hidden among the secret levels of Doom 64).
If the player picks up the Mega-armor, a new Soul Sphere ('Supercharge') is added to the level, increasing the score-affecting Secrets by 1. Also, if the player activates a particular object (one of the gargoyles) in the lower reaches of the level, a Berserk Pack will appear, and this too will raise the level's score-affecting Secrets by 1.
Because of these potential changes during play, a player's final non-zero Secrets score can range from 25% to 100%, depending on which secret objects are added to the map, and which of the currently-existing Secrets have been bypassed, if any.
In this video, the player character first picks up the Demon Artifact, simultaneously crossing the Secret-flagged floorspace beneath. This changes the player's current possible Secrets score from 0% to 50% (1 of 2 existing Secrets now discovered).
Next, the player character picks up the blue Mega-armor, which also adds a Secret-flagged Soul Sphere to one of the nearby tunnels. This changes the player's current Secrets score to 66% (2 of 3 existing Secrets now discovered). Note that the armor must be picked up in order to count as a Secret discovered, and if your armor level is already at 200% you won't be able to grab it.
Then the player picks up the new Soul Sphere, changing the Secrets score to 100% (3 of 3 discovered).
The player then activates one of the special gargoyle objects, which adds a Secret Berserk Pack to the spiral-staircase area, and changes the player's current Secrets score from 100% to 75% (3 of 4 existing Secrets discovered). For an example of getting a 75% score this way, see youtu.be/sIOUFDRQmJc
Finally the player picks up the recently added Berserk Pack, changing the score again to 100% (4 of 4 discovered).
Note that other hidden objects/items may also be found on this map, but these are not flagged as Secret, and so will not affect the player's Secrets-found score. For more information check out youtu.be/Ep_FKn0FwhY
Notes on the making of this video: Generally speaking this is a 'no monsters'-style demo, made to quickly show the stated objectives without additional minutes of combat. However, specific enemies are present when they are needed to trigger events that allow a player to progress through the level.
This video replaces one from 2013 at youtu.be/hYpcDF-5L8k and now includes some on-screen notifications showing when each Secret is discovered, and now shows the Secrets-found score at the end. It's also at a higher resolution and frame rate.
