Your guide to navigating Duke Nukem 3D's 'Getting to the Red Key Slot (9)' section. Discover secrets, defeat enemies, and grab essential items.

Alright, let's get you to that Red Key Slot. This part can be a little tricky with some hidden goodies and tough enemies, but we'll get through it. Stick with me!

Secret 5: The Hidden Room

First off, right at the bottom of the main staircase, check the very base. You'll find a secret door there. Open it up – it leads to a hidden room. As soon as you step inside, a Commander will spawn right behind you, so be ready! Inside this room, you'll find some Freezer Ammo. Look for a switch in front of a computer map; flip that switch to open another door. Behind that one, you'll find three Babes, a Devastator, and some RPG Ammo. Score!

The Water Room: Red Key and Enemies

Now, head back to where you grabbed the Blue Key earlier. Across from that spot, you'll see the Red Key door. Open it up, but be warned: you'll have to fight a Commander. Once you're in, make your way to the bottom of the stairs in this room. There's another Battlelord waiting for you down there, so be prepared for a tough fight. After dealing with him, check the bottom of the room for some items. You'll find Atomic Health on top of a bookshelf and Shrink Ray Ammo in a box on the ground. Now, look for a vase situated between two bookshelves – break it! Behind it, on the shelf, is some Devastator Ammo. You'll also find some Pipebombs lying beside the bookshelves. Keep an eye out for a crack on the wall in this area; if you destroy it, it'll lead you back to the train tracks.

Secret 6: The Bookshelf Surprise

For our next secret, you'll need your Jetpack. Head over to the bookshelf on the left side of the room, the one that has Atomic Health on it. Jetpack up onto it. The bookshelf will actually sink into the ground, revealing a hidden room. Inside, you'll find two Enforcers guarding the area. Take them out, and you can grab two Devastator Ammo packs, some RPG Ammo, and three Large Medikits. Nice haul!
