Secrets[edit]

  1. After you get past the first door, head south of it and get rid of the dead pain elementals. Past them is an energy cell pack and a soul sphere (which will not be there on Ultra-Violet or higher). (sector 185)
  2. As you head northeast, you will see a metal structure. Head to the northeast side of this structure where a box of shotgun shells is and lower a block on the structure to head up to a switch. This lowers the wall south of the structure. (sector 406)
  3. After the water pool in the middle, head east and then south up the steps. Head southwest and find a soul sphere behind the vines to the south. You can grab the soul sphere, but the actual sector is not accessible without the no-clipping code due to the ledge nearby. (sector 661)
  4. In the city area further northeast, head to the north ledges and go along them to the east. There will soon be a megaarmor in an alley to the north. (sector 403)
