# Duke Nukem 3d Secrets

Before I start with the secret's I would just like to thank CRAIG for mailing me all his secrets. As I promised he will get the full recognition for this and since he has his own web page I should include a link to his page. So here it goes Craig's Shit Page. And remember...if you have something to upload you can just mail it to me and I will give you the same recognition as I just gave CRAIG. My e-mail address is at the bottom. Have Fun!

Introduction

Every level has a certain amount of secret areas. These well-hidden areas usually conceal caches of weaponry and/or powerups. At the end of each level, the game informs you of how many secrets you found and how many you missed.

The following maps and descriptions will illustrate how to reach each level's secret areas. In addition, I've marked out what I call bonus areas. These are hidden or difficult to reach areas of the map that also conceal items, but aren't part of the secret total for the level.

Notes * Secret areas are marked with numbers on the map, bonus areas are marked with letters.

* In these descriptions, the terms Use and Open will mean to walk up to the described object and press the Spacebar.

* My marks will normally denote the actual position of a secret or bonus area, not the entrance to that area, barring space limitations.

* The Jetpack can obviously be used to access alot these area more easily. As such, I'm not going to describe the use of the Jetpack to reach an area unless it's required. Personally, I think the Jetpack is too valuable to waste getting to an area that, with a little work, can be reached by foot. =)

Near the end of the level, you'll have to cross a small bridge, overlooking the back entrance to the movie theatre. Before crossing, drop down to the ledge underneath the doorway leading to the bridge. Walk around the ledge to the front of the building, all the way to the palm tree. Jump on top of the tree and then through the window of the building. Inside you'll find a shotgun, an RPG, a chaingun, and some pipebombs.

Bonus Areas

A. After finding Secret #3, go out one of the windows next to the poster and land on the ledge. On the far end of the ledge is a healing atom. This can also be reached from outside, by first jumping on the edge of the burning dumpster, then to the top of the no parking sign, and finally to the ledge.

D. You'll need a jetpack to reach this bonus area. Starting in front of the movie theatre's back doors, fly straight up. Eventually, you'll reach a small alcove, guarded by two gun turrets. Destroy the two turrets, so you can reach the jetpack and two boxes of shotgun ammo safely.
