Secrets[edit]

  1. At the high platform that has the way to the normal exit, look east towards the Mayan art on the wall and make a jump to the ledge where it is on. Go up to it and use the hidden switch at its southeast end, then head to the lava at the northwest part of the main area. Traverse the wreckage to the left, then make a jump north to the lava river to find a health bonus and a portal to the part of the level that leads to the secret exit. (sector 1290)
  2. Enter the portal mentioned above and you will be in a maze-like area, where you will have to choose your path. If you fail, you will wind up back in the main area, at the east end. If you have not done so already, press on the four faces to reveal the solution to this puzzle, which involves going through the paths in this order: white face, brown face, two red worms, and eye. By going through the passages in this order, once you get to the last one, backtrack through the eye passageway where you came from and you will reach the secret exit. (sector 3098)
