  2. At the northwest end, climb up the nukage steps at the east end all the way to a light amplification visor. (sector 153)
  3. At the south end, go through the zigzag halls to the switch and lower the north wall. Follow this thin wall east and then south to get a box of shotgun shells, a super shotgun, and a radiation suit (the former two items are not on Ultra-Violence or higher). (sector 175)
  4. In the nukage halls, take the S-shaped path that leads back to the starting point to get a megasphere. (sector 144)
