Secrets

1. Take the side paths near the silver door and head north. In this area, push the plain wall at the southeast end to find an Excalibat, bulletproof armor, and two large monk crystals. (sector 1207)
2. In the gray hall at the south end, hop over a fence to the south which has a coffin and push the wall aside to get a bulletproof armor and twenty life points. (sector 4107)
3. In the big hall east of the gray hall, head to the northwest side and shoot away a sword statue. Flip the switch where it was to find large monk crystals, twenty life points, and a flamewall. (sector 4096)
4. Open the silver door north of the starting point and head east, then south when you can. Go through the translucent wall to find small monk crystals and a heat-seeker. (sector 8203)
5. In the northeast dark room puzzle, go east five squares, north two, west one, north two, east three, south two, east one, and south two to get small monk crystals and an Excalibat. (sector 7289)
