Other points of interestEdit

SecretsEdit

1. From the room with the invulnerability, head north to reach an area with 1-3 shotgun guys. The western wall with the skull is a secret door leading to a chaingun and two boxes of bullets. (sector 73)
2. Head south from the invulnerability room to reach a medikit. The wall to the east with the skull is a secret door leading to a teleporter back to near the start. (sector 120)
3. The area before the exit has a path leading north over a series of islands each containing a health bonus. At the end of the passage is a medikit - the door to the south here leads back to the room with the radiation shielding suit. (sector 93)
4. The brighter red wall west of the medikit near #3 is a secret door leading to a teleporter back to near the start. The secret sector itself is too narrow to receive credit for. (sector 117)

BugsEdit

As one of the secret sectors (#4 above) cannot be obtained, the maximum secrets percentage is 75%.
