Other points of interest

In the nukage room with pillars east of the exit room, there is a switch in the backside of the northeastern pillar. it opens a wall behind you leading outside. To the north, you can find a computer area map, a box of shotgun shells, a box of bullets and a medikit.

Secrets

1. In the first hall, go through the south wall to get a backpack. (sector 214)
2. In the northwest room, open the north wall with a candle in front of it for health bonuses. Lower the next wall and use the switch for a shortcut to the blue key. (sector 209)
3. Get the chaingun at the southeast end, then return to that room and take the path that opened near the leftmost pillar. This lowers the south walls with a megaarmor. (sector 244)
4. In the red key area, head all the way west to the soul sphere, take the lift down, then head south and west to an alcove. Use the red key on the bar to access the switch, allowing you to head south. (sector 194)
