# Level 1: Hollywood Holocaust

Secret Areas (8 total)

2. Jump on to the crate and then the building ledge again, then thru the center window on that wall and into the apartment. Technically, the area in front of the RPG ammo counts as the secret.
3. While in secret place #2, walk up to the large poster at the end of the hall and open it to reveal a stash of steroids.
4. Behind the theater snack counter, use the cash register to reveal a secret alcove near the ceiling on the wall to your right (on the other side of the counter). Walk up to the wall beneath the alcove and slide a little to your right. Click on the wall and a small platform will boost you up.

6. Also in the projector room, jump on top of the projector to open a door concealing a secret area with a alien and an RPG.
7. After opening the curtain in the projector room, use an RPG or pipe bomb on the center of the movie screen to find some aliens, some more shotgun ammo, and a jetpack.
8. There's a secret area in the building behind the palm tree next to the theater's front entrance. Near the end of the level, you'll have to cross a small bridge, overlooking the back entrance to the movie theater. 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 pipe bombs. If you have trouble jumping onto the palm tree, you could always use your jetpack to get inside the apartment.

Bonus Areas

- 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 jumping onto the no parking sign and and then to the ledge.

- Inside the arcade, use the Duke Nukem II video game to hear a great one-liner and reveal a holoduke hidden in the wall just to the right of the game.
- You'll need a jetpack to reach this bonus area. Starting in front of the movie theater's back doors, fly straight up. Eventually, you'll reach a small alcove guarded by two gun turrets on opposite walls. Destroy the two turrets, so you can reach the jetpack and two boxes of shotgun ammo safely.
- Use a pipe bomb or RPG in the air shaft in the bathroom, where it makes a 90 degree turn. You'll find a small niche containing a Holoduke.

- In the dance club bathroom, use the toilet (not a urinal). This will unlock a secret door behind it, which leads to the sewer area. Inside you'll find an octabrain, some pig cops, a cacooned woman, and many items.

5. As you enter dance floor through the garage door, there's a bench in the corner to your left. When you step on the bench, a secret door behind the two dancing girls on the opposite wall opens. You'll need to run to make it in time; you can repeat the sequence as many times as necessary to reach it. Inside is a chaingun and some ammo.

This area is the actual secret. Blow away the wall behind the barrels to get out.

Bonus Areas

- (8/10/96 - From Pat Forhan) - On level 4 of LA Meltdown (I'm playing v1.3 of the shareware), the one that ends with that fast moving river of slime, there is a hidden teleporter!
  The way I found it was to go to the normal finish of the level (the one that goes to level 5, not level 6). I saw a suspicious looking panel on the left side of the platform you get on to finish. Opening it up reveals a teleporter that takes you back to the flood zone... up at the top, opposite the bit of land with the "two fingers" -- one that takes you to the three-rock-wall secret and door#2 opener, and the other finger that takes you to the other opening in the rock, where it's really dark.
  The teleporter is right in the middle of these two places, set back a couple steps, in a hidden alcove, covered with texture that looks like any other.

3. In the same room as secret #2, jump up to the ledge with the RPG ammo on it.
4. After climbing up along the lava falls to the top, shoot the weak spot in the wall. It opens a long passage with a variety of ammo on the ground. The area near the far end of the passage is the actual secret.
