Secrets

 * 1) When you reach the teleporter puzzle in the level, you will have to enter the teleporters in a specific order. If you went past the crushers to the platform with the outline, you will notice a solution. If you backtrack to the room with the other outline and notice the torches, that is the order you have to go to, but this is for the normal exit. For the secret exit, you will have to do things in a different order. The order is tall blue torch, small green torch, tall blue torch, tall red torch, small red torch, small blue torch. After entering the teleporters in exactly that order, look to the left and press on the metal wall with slits for a secret passage, which will first lead you to the main combat room, then eventually lead you to the secret exit in the level.
