2Duke Nukem 3D - Episode 1 Level 5 (Secrets 100%)
Description of all the secrets below :)
Secrets
Secret 1: Top of the stairs
Upon reaching the ruins, there is a set of stairs leading up to a fire pit. At the top of these stairs, there is a protrusion in the left-hand wall, just before the fire pit (A box of Pipe Bombs can be found to the right of this protrusion). Opening the front of the protrusion will reveal a secret compartment with Steroids inside.
Secret 2: Teleporter in the fire pit
Inside the ruins is a fire pit with bloody handprints on the surrounding walls. Touching the fire will damage the player's health, but stepping into the center of this fire pit will teleport the player to a different fire pit in a secret area. Return by stepping back into the fire pit.
Secret 3: Secret ledge inside the secret room
In the secret area from Secret 2, there is a ledge with RPG ammo in a poorly lit corner of the room. Jumping onto this ledge is counted as secret.
Secret 4: Crack at the top of the lavafalls
In the lava just past the ruins, there is a slightly obscured opening on the right-hand side of the canyon that leads to some lavafalls. Climb to the top of the lavafalls. Along the right-hand walkway at the very top of the lavafalls, there is a crack in the right-hand wall. Blasting through this crack will lead to an area from earlier in the level. The top of this passageway is counted as a secret.
Secret 5: Dancing shaman
At the top of the lavafalls, there is a rock in the middle of the lava stream. Jump onto the rock. Above the rock, there is a bloody handprint. Pressing the bloody handprint will reveal a hidden passage. Inside, a woman in tribal garb can be found dancing beside a fire pit with three Atomic Healths.
Secret 6: Outside the Battlelord's spaceship
Near the end of the level, there is a giant silver door that leads into the Battlelord's spaceship. While facing this door from the outside, turn right. There is a bend in the wall here, and to the right of this bend, there is a section of wall that can be opened. Opening the wall reveals a pathway up to a secret area along the exterior of the spaceship.
Secret 7: Secret exit button
Note: This secret was added in Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour. Before that, you had to disable clipping (DNCLIP) and you can go through the wall. This was not meant to be accessible..
Just outside the door to the Battlelord's chamber, there is a circular room. Walking around the perimeter of this room will cause compartments in the walls to open automatically. While facing the door, the compartment on the right-hand side can be found to contain Chaingun Cannon ammo. The back wall of this compartment can be opened to reveal a secret compartment with a secret exit to Faces of Death (or DNCLIP and through the wall).
Other hidden compartments
The following hidden compartments are not counted as secrets:
Still in the ruins, before Secret 4, after being shrunk and escaping through a hole in the ground and returning to normal size, there is a small waterfall/fountain. Go through it and end up in a room with some goodies.
