Secrets[edit]

  1. In the room to the north of the west hall, take the northwest lift up and press the nearby switch to lower the central column, which has a berserk pack. (sector 193)
  2. Take the lift southeast of the red key and follow this path all the way to another lift. Head west from it, use the lift there, then use the red key to open the back wall which has a box of rockets. (sector 376)
  3. On the bridge at the east side, a step is at the north end of the bridge. Use it to run and jump north into an opening with rockets and stimpacks. (sector 425)
  4. After opening the door at the end of the bridge, drop down to the east once and run and jump south. Press the switch here, climb the steps to the north, and make your way all the way south. Enter the east room to get a rocket, shotgun shells, and a computer area map. (sector 475)
  5. In the room past the red bars in the central intersection, look south and shoot the switch. Return to the intersection and head south to the starting point. There should be a closet here (if you do not see it, head west from Secret #3 into the corridor to unlock it). Inside, there will be a teleporter to a soul sphere. (sector 725)
