Secrets[edit]
- At the southeast end, climb north to the switch, then return south. At the blue walls at the southeast end, use the ruined one on the east side to get a Morph Ovum. (sector 743)
- From the south crypts, jump north to a platform near the yellow key. Go around to the outside of the columns and head for the northwest corner of the platform, where a switch is. This switch lowers an enchanted shield. (sector 445)
- Go on the platform southwest of the green key and drop southwest of it to a cave with a shadowsphere. (sector 411)
- Open the green door and climb to the switch at the top. Look south and shoot through the fence to another switch, then leave and head south to a lift. Take it up to a Tome of Power. (sector 338)
- At the north end, go to the northwest corner and notice that the last statue has a different face. You need to shoot this face from a distance (which is easiest from the southwest water steps). Doing so unlocks a Ring of Invincibility before the statues. (sector 1557)
