Secrets[edit]

Official[edit]

  1. Press on the picture with the milkmaid to spill her milk jug, that will open up a room to your right containing a flemoid larva, a flemoidus quadrumpus, a bowl of vegetables and the laz device. (sector 69)

  3. Behind the yellow door, if you go straight, flip the switch and go under it, then go straight, flip another switch and go under it, and do the same behind the switch to the other switch, go straight, then flip the switch to the right and go under it into a room with a zorchpak, two flemoidus bipedicuses and a teleporter pad that will lead you back into the art area. (sector 124)
  4. Behind the yellow door, one of the three ways to get there is if you go straight, left, straight, to the left of the second switch, in the corner there is a fake 32x32 wide wall, you can glide into a tight hallway with a supercharge breakfast. (sector 120)

Bugs[edit]
