Secrets

  1. In the watery area northeast of the main arena, you will find a switch which opens the wall behind you as well as lowers the switch itself. There is also a switch on the backside of this particular switch, which you can still press even if you lowered the switch. The backside switch opens up two compartments, one with a medikit and another with a box of rockets. Both count as one secret. (sector 56)
  2. In the main arena, go to the northeast corner and drop into the nukage pit at the southern end of this corner (not the other nukage pit, there is no way to escape from that one). Press on the poison sign here to open the way to a lift, which takes you up to a plasma gun. (sector 207)
  3. At the teleporter north of the starting point, you can open the wall with slime on it for a health bonus. (sector 312)
  4. Open the next wall in Secret #3 for an armor bonus. (sector 316)
  5. Open the next wall in Secret #4, which is to the north, and you will see a dead zombieman. (sector 318)
  6. Open the next wall in Secret #5, which is to the east, and an imp will attack you. (sector 320)
