Secrets[edit]

  1. In the southeast hall, head north, press the switch, open the door, cross the bridge, and press the next switch. Return to the hall and head south, then east to go outside. Lower the south wall where the box of shotgun shells is to get a berserk pack. (sector 524)
  2. In the outside area mentioned above, head southwest to find health and armor bonuses. Go through the east bloodfall to find medikits. (sector 592)
  3. In the valley at the west side, enter the northeast building and go to the southwest corner. Lower the wall and use the switch, then quickly leave to the south and to the east side of the pyramid. Go there, ride up, and press the switch. Enter the cave to the west and climb up, then head east, going back outside to head around to get the soul sphere at the top. (sector 796)
  4. In the J-shaped hall, go to the north switch, then look south and shoot the button. Quickly head to the east side and use the switch (you have approximately ten seconds after shooting the button to get to it), then quickly jump west to the hall and north to another switch (you have approximately three seconds from the last switch to get to this one). This switch will open walls to the south and west, which you need to get to in less than two seconds to get a soul sphere. (sector 291)
  5. On the west ledge in the yellow key area, use the backside of the switch and jump off, going southeast to get a berserk pack. (sector 1037)
  6. Open the yellow door and take the door to the east. Head up the steps to find two switches. The west one opens the gate, and the east one lowers one set of bars leading to a teleporter to the south past the gate. These bars lower very slowly, but when they are down, they do not stay down indefinitely. In order to access the teleporter, you need to press both switches, go through the gate, drop off to the south, head east to the intersection, go south and open the door to the J-shaped hall, take the upper paths in the J-shaped path to get to the north ledge, press the switch to raise the bridge, cross to the north, press the next switch up the steps to raise the bridge to the west, cross that bridge, open the north door, use the switch for the lift, ride up, and press the last switch to open both a gate and the second set of bars. Assuming you did this quickly and with no room for error, the first set of bars will still be lowered while the second set has been removed as well. Quickly enter the teleporter to get a megasphere and an invulnerability. (sector 7)
