Secrets[edit]

  1. In the yellow key area, head east to the yellow door and use the north wall to go down to the field below. You can find a rocket launcher, boxes of rockets, and a megaarmor. (sector 76)
  2. In the nukage below the red key, open the north wall and use the north switch, then run south to get partial invisibility from the ledge. (sector 95)
  3. The same switch mentioned above lowers a wall near the north door in the same area. Head through that to get to a passage with health bonuses, a box of rockets, and a switch. (sector 114)
  4. The switch in Secret #3 lowers the pillar with the chainsaw at the northeast end of the map. (sector 125)
  5. In the nukage area with multiple blocks, head to the north side and on the east wall of the middle block is a switch. Press it and take the path south, following it all the way to a radiation suit, a backpack, and a computer area map. (sector 164)
  6. At the southeast end of the map, use the switch and head west, then open the south wall at the southwest corner to find a rocket and a switch. The switch lets you get a radiation suit and a soul sphere. Make sure to flip the switch before stepping in the nukage. (sector 194)
