Other points of interest

After lowering the nukage, go to the west end of the central building, you will see that some crates have emerged to the north. Jump on the one with energy cells, then straferun to the lone crate to the southeast. Hug the south wall and you will be teleported to a small room with four light amplification visors.

Secrets

1. When you teleport to the northeast section, head north of the teleporter you came out of and lower the wall there to find armor bonuses, ammo, and a medikit. (sector 1179)
2. The teleporter at the end of Secret #1 leads to either a soul sphere or a plasma gun and energy cells depending on your skill level. (sector 229)
3. At the northeast side of the central building, you can get medikits and a teleporter. The teleporter will take you to boxes of ammo, shotgun shells, a megaarmor, and medikits. (sector 1206) If you have already used the blue switch, you can still get to the teleporter by using the red pillar to the left.
4. In the southeast trap room, lower the alcoves, then on the east side, lower the wooden wall that does not have blood to find a soul sphere. (sector 1216)
