 * 2) Get out of the other side of the same vent tunnel of the first secret, there's a zorchpak in the corner of the room. (sector 1) The other way to get the zorchpak secret would be pressing the poles behind the hanging stem pot at the end of the first curvy hallway.
 * 3) To the opposite side of the blue key curve hallway there's a pass-through vent, inside there's a super chex armor. (sector 146)
 * 4) The first curvy hallway has a vent opening besides an orange tree, go through it, crawl down in the vents until you get a mini zorch pack on the other side of the vent.

 * 5) Across the other side of the yellow key hallway there's a bowl of vegetables that's actually the secret. (sector 87)
 * 6) In front of the blue door there's clearly a big door, behind it there's a zorchpak. (sector 111)
