  2. In the red key area, drop into the nukage on the east side and follow the trail of armor bonuses as it goes around and to the north. Press on the dark green wall at the north end for a teleporter leading to a rocket launcher and rockets. These items do not appear on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower. (sector 171)
  3. At the south end before the steps to the yellow key, get on the middle column on the east side and look east. Shoot the switch to open a wall to the north, then enter and head south for the secret with the megaarmor and a lever switch.(sector 228)
  4. Flip the lever switch in the previous secret and head back to the north end, taking the steps going east and going through the opening to the north to reach the outer courtyard. (sector 49)
  5. In the courtyard above, head to the west end and a large wall will lower. Enter the star-shaped teleporter to reach the central nukage vat with a computer area map. (sector 180)
  6. A switch is behind where you teleport in the previous secret. Flip it, then go back to the southern end of the map where the yellow key was to reach a courtyard where the secret exit is. (sector 259)
