Secrets[edit]

  1. From the fortress at the start, head for the southwestern watchtower and press on its northern side to find a switch. Press it, then climb the steps back up to the temple in the center, then go around to the northeastern corner. You can run out there to reach the watchtowers. (sector 25)
  2. Head through the walls southwest of the oasis and climb the tower until you see a red torch. You can barely see a switch behind it. Shoot the switch to get a soul sphere behind you. (sector 265)
  3. In the same tower mentioned in the previous secret, reach the top, jump to the wall to the east, and follow it around to the western part of the tower. From there, head west and jump down to an ammo depot. (sector 273)
  4. When you reach the underground waterway, go south until you reach the rocks where the switch and lift are. The switch lowers the lift, and another one in the lift will raise it back up. This will allow you to get back to the top side to get another soul sphere. (sector 406)
