Using the automap from the first intersection, go to the north, then to the west and two times to the north until you come to a 90-degree turn to the left. You will reach a one way tunnel that will have a broken door near its end. Just shoot the barrels to the left and you will open up a gap. Go inside and you will see a well-known figure,, dead inside a radiation barrel. Approach him to trigger the secret. (sector 3545) Beside Duke Nukem is the green key.
