Secrets[edit]
- Inside the vent shaft, when you take the second turn going north, a compartment appears behind you. Enter it and use the southeast wall to get health bonuses and a chainsaw. (sector 496)
- On the rock bridge leading east, jump south from the bridge to a platform. Look northeast and shoot the button in the distance, then take a teleporter to go back onto the bridge. Jump to the nukage to the north and go to the southeast teleporter here. Head west and south to get a radiation suit, energy cells, and a plasma gun. (sector 3360)
- Once the C-shaped bridge to the east lowers, head southeast to the switch, then go behind it and into a smaller cave with a rocket launcher, rockets, an energy cell, and a radiation suit. (sector 5530)
- Press the switch mentioned above, then run northwest and east to the lift. Take it up, then go through the east slimefall for a megaarmor. (sector 4408)
- In the west room with the chaingunner cage, unlock the north door and head through. Go to the northeast wall in this small room and use the blue lights to the left (you will notice that the bottom light is white instead of blue). This opens lights near the north lift, which have rockets and a medikit. (sector 2632)
