Secrets[edit]

  1. In the center of the map with the bridge, head across to the southwest and shoot the brown wall to get ammo clips, health bonuses, and a medikit. (sector 140)
  2. At the west courtyard (behind the blue door), head downriver and through the waterfall to get a megaarmor. (sector 214)
  3. At the north end with the bridge and lift above the water, head east of the lift and jump south to the box of shotgun shells. Shoot the west wall to find a berserk pack and a green armor. (sector 336)
  4. Open the red door in the center of the map and flip the switch. Leave and press on the blue wall to find a lift up. Use the switch here, then return to the northeast part of the map, where you can find a backpack where the waterfall was (the one in the same room as the red key). (sector 388)
  5. Head south from the northeast part of the map and head into a corridor. In an area with steps going down, get on the ledge near the steps and drop to the southeast to get a soul sphere. The teleporter here is the secret. (sector 390)
