Secrets[edit]

  1. At the southwest end of the town, go to the brown building and use the southwest window to lower it. You can get two medikits here. (sector 124)
  2. After getting the yellow key, leave and head back to the west side. The two buildings you go between are now open. The north building has an energy cell pack. (sector 136)
  3. The south building has a megasphere. (sector 137)
  4. Enter the yellow key building and use the picture to the north to open the monitor to the east. Head there to teleport to the west side of town. Enter the building and enter the basement to access this secret. Here you can find a rocket launcher, ammo, and a megasphere. (sector 154)

Bugs[edit]

There is an armor bonus (thing 288) and two clips placed in a normally unreachable alley on the south side of the library, making it normally impossible to get 100% item collection. These items can be obtained by performing a squeeze glide.

The rockets around the pillars (sectors 100, 101) in the repair shop will snap up onto those pillars when the crushers are activated, making them appear to be placed outside the player's reach, however they can still be obtained because the crushers enable the flickering glitch, so the player can stand under the rockets to make them snap back down into reach.
