Secrets[edit]

  1. In the crate storage, a stack of crates in the southwestern end has a strip of smaller crates at the bottom. This marks a secret door which leads to a backpack. (sector 31)
  2. In the northeast side of the outermost hallway, part of the southwestern wall lacks any of the smudges surrounding it and is lined with rivets. This is another secret door which leads to a supercharge on the other side of a toxic slime pit filled with lost souls. (sector 111) After dispatching the lost souls, navigate your way to the supercharge using the outer edges of the pit. If you fall in, the southeast end of the pit can be activated as a lift.
