Secrets[edit]

  1. Get to the central area with the platforms, then enter the central column to get a box of ammo. Make sure to do this before killing the enemies here or you will not get this secret. (sector 69)
  2. West of the central area, after raising the water level, jump to the west side and head north. Use the wall to get a backpack and partial invisibility. (sector 306)
  3. After getting the blue key, return to the east side and head northwest to the blue bar. Use the lift behind it and press the switch past the fire jets, then head north and east, using another switch. From here, head east to the chainsaw area, then press on the northeast wall to find a switch. Flip it, then quickly run west and slightly northwest and into the open passage before it closes (after about two seconds). A megasphere is back here. (sector 322)
