Secrets

1. In the southwest cave, go to the northwest lava pit and enter the teleporter there to teleport to a plasma gun, energy cells, and a stimpack. (sector 50)
2. Enter the central lava cavern and go to the east side. When you do this, head back to the southwest cave and head to the southeast cave to find rockets, energy cells, health bonuses, a box of rockets, and a soul sphere. (sector 59)
3. Enter the central lava cavern and go to the east side. When you do this, return west into the previous cave and head to the west to get a backpack, armor bonuses, and health bonuses. (sector 70)
4. Head towards the ship at the east side of the map. At the dock, open the rock wall at the southeast end to find a teleporter back up. (sector 230)
5. After getting the blue key, head back to the outside area and head to the southernmost part of the ledge. Drop to the ground below and head west to another room. Head down to get energy cells and health bonuses, as well as a passage back to the southwest cave. (sector 241)
