Secrets[edit]

  1. On the central steps, head west, jumping the gap, then south, going on the platforms on the right side. At the last platform, the wall to the east opens, revealing rocket launchers. (sector 296)
  2. At the north end, cross the gap to the south to the switch, then return to the previous hall to find a megasphere. Use the wall east of the megasphere to find tracks. The switch in the middle will lower the blood to the east. Head there and head south to get a super shotgun. (sector 906)
