Secrets[edit]

  1. In the prison area at the western part of the map, lower the northern wall and ride it up to get a backpack. (sector 396)
  2. In the hall at the northern part of the map with two lights and a switch, press the switch to open the way forward but instead of going through, slightly step forward to be on the top of where the switch was. When it successfully rides up, get on the outer wall to the north and press on the brown wall to get a partial invisibility. (sector 390)
  3. In the lounge room in the center of the map (east of the main building's entrance), head to the southeastern wall and press on the part with the insignia on it to find a megaarmor. (sector 392)
