Secrets[edit]
- Enter the cave, cross the bridge, and descend. Go to the southwest corner and climb the rock using the vines to get a double-barreled shotgun. (sector 2713)
- After picking up the rusted key, return to the area to the east to find the cages are now open. Enter the nearest one to the north and drop to the west to get handgun bullets. (sector 3329)
- In the cave with the entrance to the northeast shrine, go to the waterfalls to the north of the entrance. Climb the northwest waterfall up and go west, climbing up more vines to find a box of shotgun shells and stimpacks. Note that the water counts as a secret here, but be careful as you can be swept to your death if you stay on it. (sector 5771)
- Inside the northeast shrine, go to the east hall and in the middle, open the west door. Go through the banner to get a box of shotgun shells. (sector 6042)
- Once you take the portal to the Hell section, immediately jump east of the portal down to a box of shotgun shells. (sector 7861)
- In the blood river at the west side, go to the east, then north, through a shrine. On the other side, climb up and go west, then south, then west again back to the blood river. Jump northwest to a rock, then get the rifle bullets and box of shotgun shells on the next platform. (sector 8471)
