Secrets

 * 1) You start on a teleporter. Carefully walk off the teleporter, but not to the floor below it, then try to get back on the teleporter to teleport to a rocket launcher. If you get off the teleporter, you can still access this secret by entering either of the pits on the west side of the central area and heading towards the lift, then backtracking to the teleporter where it will be lowered. (sector 174)
 * 2) Enter either of the pits on the west side of the central area and head to the southwest side to see a section of sludge with a flashing light. Open this wall to find a berserk pack. (sector 133)
 * 3) When you enter the outside area with the yellow key, go towards the walls to the north and find a lion switch at the east end. Press it, then backtrack to the door and take the lift near the yellow door back down by pressing the back wall. The area dead ahead is open, allowing you to get a plasma gun. (sector 183)
 * 4) After using the switch past the yellow key door to lower the walls in the outside area, go to the two skull switches at the north wall. Press the right switch and get on the walkway as it rises and cross over to the southeast. Once you do this, look back at the bridge and press use at the closest side of the bridge to lower it, which will also lower two floors to the north and west. To get this secret, drop to the north and flip the switch behind you to raise the floor again, all the way up. You can then get rockets to the north, as well as a stimpack and an energy cell. (sector 14)
 * 5) See Secret #4. This time, drop to the west and flip the switch behind you to get a megaarmor, a stimpack, and an energy cell. (sector 15)
 * 6) In the southeast section, the teleporter you need to go to for the exit will lower on approach, but before taking it, there is a hidden switch next to it. Flip it to open the south wall where you can find a backpack. (sector 181)
 * 7) Use the wall with the energy cell next to the exit door to lower it and retrieve two energy cell packs. (sector 169)
