Other points of interest[edit]

After the opening segment when you reach the octagon-shaped area through a ventilation shaft, check the other vents in the area, as you can walk through one of them. You will enter an area where human experimentation has been undertaken, explaining the name of the level. This is not an official secret area.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Open the door at the start and press on the wall with the light on it to lower it. Grab the super shotgun and shells inside the room. (sector 188)
  2. Enter the door above the "3" and go all the way west to the yellow door. Open it and keep going west until you reach the blue door. Open it and look to your left. Press use on the terminal to lower it and find a medikit and some ammo. (sector 355)
  3. From Secret #2, head to the lower level and go through the west hallway to the lift. Ride it down, then look towards the damaged wall to the south. Open it to get a green armor and some armor bonuses. (sector 357)
  4. In the dark room with the red motion sensors, enter the side room and use the computer terminal to get a berserk pack. (sector 1264)
