Secrets[edit]
- At the southeast end of the blue area, climb the steps, go north, then to the northwest part of the ledge. Lower the wall to get a berserk pack and a green armor. (sector 431)
- In the center of the blue area, head west, looking at an outside area to the north. At the middle window, use the blue light on the left that is blinking. This will open a wall to the west, leading to the outside area. You can find stimpacks, a megaarmor, a box of shotgun shells, and a box of rockets. (sector 226)
- At the northeast end of the blue area, climb the east steps and head south for two walls to open, one to the west and one to the north. Enter the north compartment and lower the west wall to get health bonuses and a switch. Press the switch, then head south and west to the other wall that lowered, crossing the platform to the other side. When you do this, the wall in front of you lowers, revealing energy cells and an invulnerability. (sector 566)
- Get the yellow key and the floor will lower. Go to the southeast corner and open the wall there to get health bonuses and a teleporter. The teleporter takes you to boxes of rockets and a medikit. (sector 928)
- Take the teleporter out of Secret #4 on its west side to teleport to an invulnerability. (sector 911)
- After getting the yellow key, take the south bridge from the center of the red area, then head east. Open the wall with the lightning symbol to find a yellow door. Go through this passage, taking a lift up to a switch, which will open the east wall leading to a megasphere. (sector 857)
- At the northernmost end of the blue area, head to the outside section at the east end and go to the northwest fence. Face west and shoot the switch, then head back and take the curved walkway west. Head east and press a switch to reveal a soul sphere. (sector 249)
- At the northernmost end of the red area, take a lift up. On this ledge, face southeast and jump to a ledge with health bonuses. Take the teleporter to get to a secret ledge with a medikit and partial invisibility. (sector 945)
