Secrets[edit]
- In the water room south of the northwest end, enter the southeast cage and use the east waterfall. Go through to get a soul sphere. (sector 1303)
- At the northwest end of the map, a cage at the inner corner has boxes of rockets and a rocket launcher, and a break in the north part of the cage will allow you to enter it. An additional secret room can be found here though. Move a little south of the cage and find the purple lights next to the lamp to the east. Use the small purple button here, then quickly enter the cage and southeast to health bonuses and a switch. Use this switch to get a megasphere, rockets, and boxes of rockets. (sector 1472)
- Enter Dry Cleavers and use the power box behind the counter. Shoot it to open the nearby door leading to a secret area with a plasma gun and energy cell packs. (sector 2390)
- Head to the northwest part of the central room of Arch Mall where all the pools are. Take the north hall until you find curved steps. Get on the outer wall of these steps and follow it north, going through a wall to enter a neon hall which awards you a super shotgun and a backpack. (sector 2491)
- Head to the northwest part of the central room of Arch Mall where all the pools are. North of them is a couch with a coffee table and a remote. Use the table to change the screen, revealing a rocket, a box of rockets, a megaarmor (green armor on Ultra-Violence or higher), a rocket launcher (not on Ultra-Violence or higher), an energy cell, an energy cell pack, and a medikit. You can actually walk through the screen south of the couch to access this secret. (sector 3231)
- Inside Belle Horizon, the west hall has switches behind the windows to the north and south. Press the switch behind the north window, then after getting it, head to the hall south of the south switch. You will notice the south vent is open, leading to the fountain, but you cannot get the megasphere yet. Head north and use the switch here to lower the megasphere. (sector 5554)
- In the halls behind Neon Haze at the east side, go to the easternmost end and find a red button on the west shelf to reveal health bonuses, energy cells, and a plasma gun. (sector 6077)
- Inside Belle Horizon, open the north door and head to the northwest hall. Open the west door and get the super shotgun as well as access the warped offices. (sector 6402)
