Secrets[edit]

  1. In the southeastern maze area, get to the southeastern corner of it and press the southern wall where the dead marine corpse is. This will lower a block to the west with twenty-four health bonuses. (sector 88)
  2. In the central ice cave, go up to the third level and press the wall where the blood pool is to lower a berserk pack and a computer area map. (sector 86)
  3. Use the teleporter behind the blue door and press the switch after doing that to lower the platform you are on. As the platform lowers, stand on its eastern side and gently drop down so you will land on top of the switch below for the secret (or just wait until the platform has lowered to the point where you can safely get on top of the switch). (sector 46) You have only one shot at getting this secret.
  4. Grab the radiation suit and drop off to the west of it, then head north from the nukage and into the hall. Press the prat of the eastern wall that has pipes on it to find a backpack, some arrows, partial invisibility, and a megaarmor. (sector 85)
