Secrets[edit]

  1. Get out of the cave at the start and approach the orange eye in the orange liquid to lower the rocks. Grab the chaingun and ammo, then head east to exit. (sector 123)
  2. At the southwestern portion of the map, climb the steps and go north to the switch. This will trigger a trap, where you will have to press the next switch and shoot four more to release the bars to the switch you were trying to reach earlier. At this switch, look to the northwest to find another switch tucked behind the rocks. Shoot this switch to lower the rock nearby and drop onto it. Ride it up to get a health bonus, rockets, a box of rockets, and backpacks. (sector 1200)
  3. In the large barrel-filled hallway at the west side of the map, take note of the wall colors behind the small grates. Notice that one of them is silver instead of orange. Use that wall to lower the surrounding walls, obtaining an orange armor. Look out for the barrels and chaingunners upon approaching it. (sector 1317)
