Secrets[edit]

  1. South of the starting point, get the soul sphere and megaarmor to cause the water level to lower. This will also make the central rock lower as well. Head southwest and take the teleporter to get back above this area, then jump back down to the rock to get rockets and a rocket launcher. (sector 1095)
  2. At the northeast end, lower and jump to the soul sphere platform, then jump southeast (make sure to stay near the eye so you can use it for the secret exit if you intend to get it). Jump all the way down to get health bonuses and a backpack. (sector 2139)
  3. East of the blue key, get on the edge and to the south end, then run northwest and jump to a ledge that has a soul sphere. (sector 20)
  4. From the previous secret, head northeast and north up the steps until you get to the water. Take the northeast steps and use the east wall just under the yellow light to find a passage. Follow it south to get a megasphere. (sector 475)
  5. To get this secret and the next one, you need to find four hidden eyes. One is at the southernmost chasm, in the southeast. Another is northwest of Secret #2. A third one is further to the northeast in the caves, in a small one just southeast of the yellow-walled caves. The last one is in a valley at the west side (a bit west of the blue key area); if you head behind the north rock and follow the path you can find the eye. After using all four eyes, head back to the starting point and head south and east, then north to a switch. After flipping it, go back to the starting point and enter the teleporter. Head east to get a megasphere. (sector 1073)
  6. In Secret #5, go near the teleporter and use the recessed block at the west wall. This opens up the secret exit. (sector 2738)
