4. At the yellow key, enter the backside of the portal that led you here to find golden goblets, Frost Ovums, Blade Power, a soulheart, blue money bags, and silver coins. (sector 571)
5. After you get the red key, return to the room with the portal and open the door. Before entering the room, look up at the southwest column and shoot the target, then run in and enter the south alcove to get an invulnerability and an armor shard. (sector 576)
