Secrets[edit]

  1. Use the lights northwest of the start to find a teleporter to a megasphere. (sector 44)
  2. Open the door at the northeast end of the starting room and get behind the column directly in front of you. Use the poison sign where the dead marine corpse is, then run northwest to the lowering wall to get a computer area map. (sector 122)
  3. In the large branching bridge at the northwest end of the circle, approach the red door on the right side (at the south end) and jump northeast to the platform where the pain elemental came from to find a light amplification visor. (sector 819)
  4. Cross the large nukage cavern at the south end of the map and take either of the lifts up. Open a door to enter a large hall, then head to the east side of the hall until you find a blue torch. Use the torch, then quickly run west past two sets of green torches to a lift at the north wall. Ride it up to get a megasphere. (sector 282)
