Secrets[edit]

  1. At the entrance, turn west and open the door. Look on the southern wall for a browner section of the wall. Shoot it to reveal a passage with a spectre and an armor. (sector 45)
  2. In the central room of the map (the one with the partial invisibility), a spectre may emerge from a western vent at the top of the steps. Go through this vent to find a medikit. (sector 385)
  3. In the same room as secret #2, take the hall to the east and look for a red monitor to the north. Press it, and return to the central room to spot a passage in the southwest corner. Go through it until you find a teleporter that will lead you to a soul sphere. (sector 191)
  4. West from secret #3, in the ventilation shafts, a wall may lower revealing zombiemen. Press on the vent opposite the closet to find a lift leading up to rockets and a computer area map. (sector 215)
  5. In the room with the switch that raises the pillars outside, use the blank computer panel to the west nearby to open an eastern vent with a plasma gun. (sector 358)
  6. At the nukage area where the red key is, enter the nukage and take the small passage to the southwest to find a chainsaw and some cells. (sector 365)
