Secrets[edit]

  1. Head north from the room with crates and press on the terminal in the northeastern corner to open a compartment with a soul sphere next to the terminal. (sector 96)
  2. From secret #1 go west. To get the plasma gun here, go to the northwestern corner and press on the blue wall with the recess to lower the block. (sector 36)
  3. Open the yellow door near the starting area and when you get to the next area, windows will open up. From the ledge you are on, you need to jump northwest to the window there to get a berserk pack. (sector 364)
  4. In the hall leading to the high ledges at the red key area, press on the left wall with a square to find a hidden passage. Follow it all the way to a room with a backpack, rockets, and a rocket launcher. (sector 421)
  5. At the northern part of the map, a closet with imps will open to the southwest as you go along. Inside this closet, you will find three small monitors. Press the monitors in this order: right, left, and middle. Doing this right will open a secret to the north where you can get a megaarmor. (sector 572)
