Secrets[edit]

Obtaining the blue key opens up a door at the end of a dead-end passage in the maze area leading to a room with 0-9 spectres. The back wall of this room is a secret door leading to three medikits, a box of shotgun shells and a box of bullets. (sector 239)

Bugs[edit]

Approaching the lift with the shotgun (which is necessary in order to press the switch which opens the door to the next section) raises two pillars behind you. The only way out of this area is to shoot a barrel which activates a trigger which lowers the third pillar. Therefore, if this barrel has already been destroyed prior to entering this area, you will be stuck.
