Tips
  • Use the Jetpack effectively to navigate damaged areas and avoid fall damage.
  • Conserve ammunition against the large groups of weaker enemies; focus on priority targets.
  • The Battlelords can be tough; use cover and powerful weapons like the Devastator if available.
  • Don't miss the secret areas, as they often contain valuable power-ups and ammo.
  • Exit the level by interacting with the Exit Symbol in the Babe Chamber.
  • Access to the Secret Level, Lunatic Fringe, via Secret 7.
