Secrets[edit]

  1. In the west building, go into the northeast corner to teleport to armor bonuses and a soul sphere (which is only available on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower). (sector 80)
  2. At the south platforms, perform a rocket jump on the wall to the north where the rocket is to land on the blue platform to the south (you can also straferun from the platforms to the east of the one with the wall as well). This leads to an alternate exit. (sector 96)
  3. Jump northeast from the yellow key to a platform which teleports you to an invulnerability. (sector 145)
  4. Drop off to the west of the yellow key to get a berserk pack. (sector 238)
