Secrets[edit]

  1. Head through the door north of the start and quickly run to the west on the blue floor (following the arrow with "30" over it). Head west to a room with ammo and a switch. You need to enter this secret room before thirty seconds pass in the level. The switch will open a door west of the start. Note that if you miss the secret, it is still possible to reach. Open the yellow door, enter the room to the east, and head to the northwest side. Flip the switch and quickly run back to the big room, running to the open room to the west. (sector 253)
  2. On the yellow key ledge, open the west wall with caution stripes to find a switch. After pressing it, head to the north to get a rocket launcher. (sector 186)
  3. On the yellow key ledge, jump to the block south of Secret #2 and jump southwest to a soul sphere. (sector 104)
  4. Open the yellow door and enter the east room. Grab the rocket launcher and the east wall opens revealing spectres, a medikit, and ammo. (sector 1178)
  5. From the central hall, head east to a room of crates and head north. Climb the crates and get the medikit for the vent to open. Follow the health and armor bonuses to get four backpacks. (sector 580)
  6. In the northeast area, head northwest and flip the switch. Run back and head to the north side of the big block, riding a lift up to the top. You will find energy cells and a switch with "P" in front of it. (sector 492)
  7. Head west from the blue key, then south. If you used the switch at Secret #6, a lift to the left is accessible. Take it up to a plasma gun. (sector 670)
  8. At the west side, after opening the north door, head north until the wall in front of you opens. Lower the lift and as it rises, hug the north wall to enter a corridor with a megaarmor, a backpack, and a medikit. (sector 1199)
  9. In the area with skull blocks on the ceiling, approach the two terminals and find a switch on the north side of the north terminal. Flip it, climb the steps, and head west to get a backpack, ammo, a medikit, a stimpack, and green armor. (sector 1012)
  10. At the exit door, use the skull switch to the east. Quickly run back across to the north fenced-in area and head east to get a computer area map. (sector 849)
  11. The switch in Secret #1 opens a puzzle room west of the start. Here, flip the switch and press six skull switches around the room as quickly as you can, especially the last three switches, and quickly run all the way to the west before the walls close. When you teleport, you teleport back to the starting point, but now a puzzle room to the east will be open, requiring the three keys. After getting those keys, come back here and use the key switches to open three switches, one on the left, and two on the right. Quickly flip the two on the right and enter the teleporter below them to teleport to the left, flip that one, and quickly run north before the walls close. Take the teleporter here to access the secret exit. (sector 786)
