Official[edit]

  1. In the room with the central counter with health and armor bonuses, south of the area with the titular core, check the north side of the pillar in front of the lift. Pressing this side will reveal a hidden switch that opens a door behind the megaarmor to the nukage canyon outside. Follow the path, deal with the ambushing chaingunner, then press another switch at the end of a small path to unveil a rocket launcher (sector 236). Grabbing it lets you use a teleporter that will take you to the aforementioned lift in front of the hidden switch.

Non-official[edit]

  • By the starting lift, there is a door with white lights on both sides that requires all six keys. There is a megasphere behind it.
