Secrets[edit]

  1. At the southwest entrance of the park, head south between the brick wall fence and the building to find a green armor. (sector 34)
  2. North of the south building is a fountain, and west of there, get on the bench and the hedge to go onto the big wall. Walk east on the wall and drop down to the north, where you can enter the room here. Do so, then take the steps to get a berserk pack. (sector 1027)
  3. Go behind the hedge fences at the southwest end and through the buildings to find a soul sphere. (sector 1061)
  4. In the northwest courtyard of the main building, go to the east steps and behind them is a switch. Flip it to lower the northwest pillar which has an energy cell pack. (sector 1140)
  5. In the south building, climb onto the desk in the west room and shoot the skull to the west. Head onto the balcony and go east to an energy cell pack. (sector 1301)
