  3. In the room north of the blue key room, open the east wall to find a switch, which will open a wall in the southeast courtyard. (sector 114)
  4. In the room with the armor bonuses that spell "DIE", enter the southwest compartment and open the back wall to find ammo clips and a switch. (sector 346)
  5. In the room with the armor bonuses that spell "DIE", enter the southeast compartment and open the back wall to find shotgun shells and a switch. (sector 351)
  6. After pressing the switches in Secrets #4 and #5, return to the starting point and flip the switch there. Go to the southwest courtyard and a teleporter to the west will be available, leading to the hidden "FIFFY" area. (sector 348)
