Secrets

1. After raising the water level at the north end, head into the water and swim west to a tunnel that leads to health bonuses. (sector 705)
2. In the hall west of the room with four switches, crouch at the north end and enter the blood and head through to get an assault rifle. (sector 1265)
3. After opening the door west of the start, head to the water and follow it south to a dead end. Crouch and dive in, continuing southwest as you dive further down. When you see the purple lights, head east and swim back up to find medikits and a computer area map. Use the picture to teleport to a soul sphere. (sector 1916)
4. At the northeast room of the building, head back west and drop south into the sludge. Dive down and flip the switch, then return to the room and get the megaarmor to the east. (sector 2258)
5. Head south from the start and into the cave to the east. Dive into the sludge and shoot the barrels to the west, then get the berserk pack. (sector 2891)
