there is an important hidden area, the entrance to NIGHTMARE mode. To get
there, head for the EASY section. Once you're at the easy slipgate archway,
turn right and follow the hallway. You should go around a corner and come
across a stack of boxes on your left. Jump up and inubetween some of the
crates and you'll come upon a lift.
(You should be inside of the area protected
by the force field.) Take the lift up and you'll be at the entrance to

the first door on the right, you'll see a wall texture on the right that
is a little different then the others next to it. Shooting it reveals a
small cache.
At the bottom of the staircase, take a right and go up
the small stairs that takes you to the large outdoor area. underneath the
bridge, you'll see on the right side a small red button high up on the
wall. Shoot it, and a secret door will drop down, and you can enter.

is a staircase going up from the ground level to the upper level. A small
building encases part of this staircase. Inside, on the ceiling is a red
button. Shooting it opens up access to a 100 health poweruup.
At the slipgate, there is a stack of crates on the right
side. If you jump up, you'll notice that there is a red switch on top of
the first crate. You can shoot it by jumping or by using an explosive.
When you do, some steps will come out and you can climb the crates to a
small space inside the slipgate.
In the first room past the force field next to the slipgate,
there is a light strip on the ceiling with one light that is more yellow
than the rest. Shoot it, and a panel will open on the control station.
In the area overlooking the start of the level, there
are ledges along both sides of the room, each one leading to the ramp on
the opposite side. On the opposite wall, to the left of the ramp, you should
be able to see an outline of a door. Shoot and it will open.
In the room with many stacks of crates, face the archway,
and then jump up on the stack to the right. On the stack to the opposite
side of the archway, you should see some yellow armor. Jump across to get
them.
In one of the main rooms, there is a red button that
is above the doorway that leads to the Force Field Bridge. Shooting the
trigger activates a cross bridge from the silver key area to the door on
the other side, and opens that door. To be able have enough time to get
across the shortulived bridge, you have to shoot the button with proximity
mine, get yourself in position to cross, and wait for the mine to explode.
Your reward for making it is the slipgate to a Secret Level!
