Secrets

1. In the water cave at the west side, go to the southwest where a soul sphere and a backpack are, then jump east to get armor bonuses, shotgun shells, and a super shotgun. (thing 101)
2. After climbing the water cave and going to the grass, head south and east until you see the large gray wall. Head south past the bush and arch once you see it, then jump south across two green platforms. Fall into the water here to get health bonuses and a minigun. (thing 625)
3. At the gray wall north of the starting building, take the lift that goes up to the wall, then head south on the cage to two medikits. Open the wall there to get a megaarmor. (thing 461)
4. Enter the northwest building and use the button on the desk here to open the storage area with a box of shotgun shells, a box of ammo, energy cells, a megaarmor, medikits, a plasma gun, and a shotgun. (sector 1926)
5. Use the monitor near the red keycard, then go to the north door of the building you are in. A new opening is at the south end, enter and take the lift up to scrap drums and a scrap gun. (sector 1592)
6. In the large field east of the first cave systems, go north to the temple and head behind it to the northwest corner to find a berserk pack. (thing 1459)
7. Inside the building at the south end, go north to the halls under the bridge and enter the room that has a picture of George Orwell. Using it causes a blur artifact to spawn behind you. (item spawned from thing 3839)
8. In the same building, go all the way to the southeast in the main hall and enter an open panel to find a berserk pack. (thing 1282)
9. In the south building, go to the south hall that goes east and west and open the east door to the balcony. Get the soul sphere here for the secret. (thing 2171)
10. Enter the northern waterfall cave from the north side. When you get to the big water pit, turn east and jump to the rock bridge. Follow the candles west, then head northwest and onto another bridge that has a megasphere. (thing 395)
11. Inside the east temple, go to the central halls and head to the northwest square. Head west of it and south to get armor bonuses, scrap drums, rockets, and a backpack. (sector 10972)
12. In the challenge of fire, go to the room with the fire traps and jump towards the north columns. Jump to the middle one and use the skull to the north, where you will get a message saying that the invulnerability is accessible. Head to the area west of this one, climb to the top, and head east and north to the invulnerability. (thing 2388)
13. At the water element, jump east across the rocks to the megaarmor. (sector 12045)
