Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Shoot at the eyes of the big mouth at the southern part of the map. This is best done from the pedestals with the rocket launcher and plasma gun. Once you shoot at both eyes, get into the lava on the west side of the map and head southwest, eventually you will find a teleporter you can use. Take it for some radiation suits, as well as an invulnerability that only appears on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower. (sector 1051)
  2. The southeast corner of the map hides a megasphere on a platform above the lava. (sector 1081)
