Secrets[edit]

  1. At the red key area, head north towards the berserk pack and notice the hidden switch to the left. Use it, then use the nearby steps to head up and take the newly revealed teleporter ahead of you. This takes you to ammo clips, energy cells, and a megaarmor. (sector 64)
  2. In Secret #1, look to the west and shoot the switch. Leave the area and head northwest of where the secret is to find a teleporter. On the ledge you teleport to, use the switch, then enter the blue key area to find a wall to the north lowering. On the other side of this wall, climb the steps, use the switch, and take the lift up to get the yellow key. (sector 113)
  3. Open the red door at the center of the map, then follow the path until you find a yellow key door. Open it with the key from Secret #2, then follow the path all the way to the megasphere. Drop off to the side to get the secret as well as access a secret arena. (sector 255)
  4. Enter the area behind the blue door near the blue bars and use the switch to remove the bars. Exit through the blue door and head east a bit, then run southwest past the bars towards the platform between the armor bonuses that has lowered. Taking it up, you will find a rocket launcher, a backpack, stimpacks, shotgun shells, rockets, and an energy cell. (sector 544)
