 * 1) Raise the steps out of the starting area and head around it clockwise. At the gap, shoot the switch across, then backtrack and head counterclockwise this time, to an area southeast of the steps. Take the lift up, jump north, then jump north again to get a megasphere. (sector 80)
 * 2) On the rising and lowering nukage west of the steps, when the nukage is at its lowest point, run to the lift to the west and lower it for a radiation suit and a medikit. (sector 274)
 * 3) In the area with of the curved paths that go up and down, exit those paths via the south window and the south ledge will lower. Head south across that ledge and west to get an invulnerability. (sector 346)
 * 4) At the southwest part of the circle, press the switch, then quickly head north (or east) and into the inner part of the circle where a lift has lowered. Ride up and you should see a soul sphere nearby. Walk carefully on the thin ledge to get the soul sphere. (sector 229)
 * 5) At the west side, head south to a section with a marble wall, then find a switch northwest of that wall. After pressing it, head to the rocks northwest of the circle and head south on the ledge with health bonuses to get a berserk pack. (sector 298)
 * 6) On the ledge southeast of the circle which has the switch, head all the way west and open a cracked wall to the south to find a box of ammo and an energy cell. (sector 373)
 * 7) On the same ledge mentioned above, flip the switch to the north and ride the lift up. Walk through the east wall to collect a plasma gun. (sector 385)
 * 8) The staircase leading to the middle of the circle has several teleporter lines. After teleporting for the fourth time, when you move in the next room, the floor starts lowering. When it lowers to the bottom, collect the plasma gun to the north. (sector 477)
 * 9) At the east side in the room with many switches, head towards the barricade and go through the north wall to find an invulnerability. (sector 438)
