Secrets[edit]

  1. At the start, open the door and then open the western door. In the next hallway, press on the terminal in the northeastern corner and keep going north. There will be an opening to the east leading to a red door. (sector 112)
  2. Once you have the red key, open the red door mentioned in Secret #1 to find a megasphere and a rocket launcher. (sector 326)
  3. At the start, open the door but don't open any of the doors yet. Instead, press on the terminal in front of you. After getting the red key, in the square room past the red doors, go north through the cave into the next room. There will be a step allowing you to reach the plasma gun as well as Secrets #4 and #5. (sector 380)
  4. The walls to the west and to the east of the plasma gun in Secret #3 can be opened, each containing two energy cell packs and a backpack. (sector 399)
