Secrets[edit]

  1. Enter the cave below the start (the entrance is south of your starting position), then enter the water. In the middle of the way to the lake (while going north), shoot the eastern wall to open a wall to the west. Swim out of the water there to get a megaarmor and a backpack. (sector 129)
  2. At the southwestern building (the one where you have to pull the lever to open back the way out after the ambush), exit it from the northwest side until you reach the grey wall with the soul sphere in front of it. Shoot the cracked part of this wall. After doing that, head over to the westernmost railway and go south and east. After reaching the grey wall again, shoot another two cracked parts of it from this side. This will finally let you get the soul sphere. (sector 403)
  3. Head north between the two buildings and you will find three pillars to the east. Get to the east side of the easternmost pillar (it will have a lion's face) and ride up, then jump east to get health bonuses. (sector 1023)
  4. Head to the northwest cave from the east side. Use the brown rock to the south, ride up, and flip the switch on the north wall. You will end up in a different area with armor bonuses and a backpack. Take the teleporter to appear in another area but this time with a stimpack and an armor bonus (it also counts as a Secret). If you lower the west wall, you can get an invulnerability, a box of ammo, and shotgun shells in a destroyed house. Lowering another wall to the south reveals the passage to the chainsaw. (sector 287)
  5. Enter the building requiring three keys from the south and while looking at the western wall closer to the entrance find the second alcove to the left, which is red instead of pink. Shoot it and quickly run to the southeast opening to get a megasphere (it closes in one second but you can open up the secret multiple times). (sector 836)
  6. In the same building as Secret #5, in the southeastern room, use the terminal on the west side of the conveyor, then quickly run to the southeast wall that opens. Head southwest to pick up a plasma gun and a megaarmor. (sector 898)
  7. Enter the easternmost building (the one with the green door) and head up a lift near the entrance. Go down the hall and you will silently teleport to this secret. Immediately turn around when you trigger it (AKA when the corpses appear) to get an armor bonus, a box of ammo, and an energy cell at the end of the hall. (sector 1043)
  8. In the exit area, shoot the northwestern wall where the armor bonuses and ammo clip are to find the secret exit. (sector 1147)
  9. This is a small sector at the southeastern end of the map, but it is impossible to reach without the no-clipping code. (sector 1130)
