Secrets[edit]

  1. In the room at the west side with lots of barrels, raise the pillars that allow you to go from west to east. Head across and find a section of the east wall that does not have pipes. Use it, then head north and through the maze behind the wall until you find a cave to the east with a chainsaw and a soul sphere. (sector 186)
  2. After you get the yellow key, return to the starting area and go to the section north of the starting room. Head through a new cave to find an invulnerability and partial invisibility. (sector 405)
  3. In the room at the west side with lots of barrels, head to the northeast corner and open the north wall to get a super shotgun. (sector 451)
