Secrets

  1. Right at the start, press on the wall with the brain pile in front of it to find a green armor. (sector 6)
  2. Keep following the path past Secret #3 to the corridors, then head south until you see a green torch. Shoot the switch behind the torch, then go south a bit, then west to a backpack. (sector 11)
  3. At the northeast area, follow the path around the water and a door will open revealing a chaingunner and shotgun guys. Press on the hieroglyph here to get health bonuses and a megaarmor. (sector 116)
  4. Open the door at the right side of the field and enter the hallway, but quickly turn back and go to the southeast corner of the field to find a berserk pack. (sector 156)
  5. In the main field, look towards the left side and find the hieroglyph under the ledge. Use it to find a teleporter which takes you to a soul sphere. (sector 166)
