Secrets[edit]
- Head southwest from the center, then into a cave. When the path curves west, press on the northeast wall to find a cave with energy cells and a megaarmor. (sector 875)
- Keep going west from the previous secret to find a teleporter. Re-enter the teleporter and head behind the sign behind you to get health bonuses. (sector 280)
- After you get the blue key, head back west and south, then into the west alcove with boxes of rockets and a megazerk. Lower the north wall and take the teleporter to get some energy cells and stimpacks. (sector 1154)
- At the big skull switch at the southeast end, which opens a door to the red key, go behind the switch and press its backside. Head back to the courtyard below and head southeast, then west. Take the north teleporter and head south to pick up a soul sphere. (sector 1097)
- After the crushers at the east end of the map, you will be in a large crater. Get to the west end and climb up, going northwest to a soul sphere. (sector 2086)
- In the southeasternmost area, head to the southeast side and head north to a switch to open up some compartments. Enter the one east of you and open the south wall to get boxes of rockets. (sector 1283)
- The switch mentioned in the previous secret will let you access the north part of the area. Head there and head east, then use the south wall with two square panels to lower a megasphere. (sector 1289)
- Once the yellow key becomes accessible, get it and teleport out by heading to the east side. Re-enter the teleporter you came out of to head back to the southwest, then head north and northwest. The alley is the secret and leads to a megasphere. (sector 758)
