2. In the area with the yellow key, look at the misaligned wall on the western side and press it to find two boxes of bullets. (sector 129)
3. In the room with cages and a chess-like floor near the blue key, you can go through the northwestern cage from its western side to get a partial invisibility. (sector 76)
