Secrets[edit]

  1. Head east from the start and jump to the platform with the barrel and the switch. Using the switch lowers the pillar to the north with a chaingun elite and a box of shotgun shells, as well as a pillar to the east of that one with an assault rifle. You need to use the switch, then quickly jump east, then head north, then onto the lowered pillar with the assault rifle. When it rises, jump through the wall at the north end to drop to an area with a megaarmor. (sector 176)
  2. Head west from the start and go north through the wall that opens. Head east a bit, then southeast, then open the wall with green lights at the end to find ammo and a backpack. (sector 229)
  3. Head west from the start and go north through the wall that opens, but then turn south and head in that direction. In this room, open the wall to the southwest with green lights and follow the armor bonuses to a door. Open it, then use the switch to the southwest to lower the lift with the hammertime. (sector 380)
  4. Make your way to the Unit 2 switch at the southeast end of the map. Afterwards, go back to the south end of the map, and in one of the compartments at the east side of this area, you can now get a soul sphere. (sector 682)
  5. At the far northeast end of the map with the grenade launcher, lower the southeast wall to get a soul sphere. (sector 1051)
