Secrets[edit]

  1. In the octagon room at the north end, after opening the northeast door, head through that room and use the northwest wall to find a shotgun guy and a medikit. Staying on the wall as it rises and getting on the step to the northwest will allow you to open the wall there to find a switch. (sector 206)
  2. The switch in Secret #1 will open one of two doors in a small corridor later on. Take the lift nearby and head out the door to the east, then down the steps and you will hear a door open. Backtrack and take the north teleporter to another switch. Make sure to flip it, then get onto the cover at the southwest corner of the courtyard, which goes down to a corridor. If you flipped the switch mentioned earlier and the one in Secret #1, you can access the corridor. Head all the way west and south to get a soul sphere. (sector 117)
  3. At the nukage river, go east until a path goes north. Head to the room there and use the right light to lower the surrounding wall. Use the south light and quickly get on the wall as it rises to get a plasma gun, shotgun shells, a radiation suit, and a medikit. (sector 306)
  4. In the southeast room, use the two lights; the west one will open the secret, while the north one lowers the surrounding wall. Head east and return to the nukage river, riding the lowered section up. Go west and two rooms with arachnotrons will be open, with a radiation suit, a medikit, a rocket launcher, rockets (not on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower), and a megaarmor (green armor on Ultra-Violence or higher) inside. (sector 272)
  5. In the hall past the crusher, use switches 4 and 2 on the entry panel, then head back to east hall of the mansion. Go up the curved steps to the corridor, then backtrack to teleport. Head north, then inch along to the west and head south to get boxes of rockets and a teleporter. (sector 79)
