Defeating the IDPD Captain returns you to the fireplace, restarting the loop. There are three levels, leading to an alternate final boss. IDPD Headquarters is a fancy building protected by elite soldiers. If the reinforcements have left and the van is stopped, you won’t be able to open the HQ portal. To portal to the HQ, you’ll need to press on a van as it arrives. After killing rare IDPD troopers, a van will barrel through the environment. This area is only accessible after one progression loop. This small, enemy-free area has features two Huge Golden Weapon Chests. Either of the two Ultra Mutations will work. You will lose Last Wish after entering the Jungle and gain a different mutation. This is a good way to clear the zone even if you don’t want to enter the Jungle. Right at the spawn, feed the nearby Corpse Flower with 4 HP.Īlmost every enemy in 5-1 will die and a portal to the Jungle will open. These special props appear in 3-2, 5-2, or in 1-2 and 7-2 after a loop.Ĭomplete this area to jump straight to 5-1. To get a Cursed Weapon, or at least a chance to spawn a Cursed Weapon (which is a weapon spewing purple smoke) you’ll need to have a Crown.Ĭrowns are found in hidden Crown Vaults, accessed through diamond-shaped Proto Statues. This is a much harder version of the regular Crystal Caves area.
Grab a Cursed Weapon and beat the Big Dog boss in 3-3 to open a portal to the Cursed Crystal Caves. Not only that, but you’ll find a Gold Weapon Chest somewhere in the mansion.Ĭompleting this area teleports you straight to 3-3. There’s a broken-down gold car in this area - smack it once with the Screwdriver, then press to travel to YV’s fancy mansion.Įntering the area your first time unlocks playable YV. There’s a weapon chest and mini-medkit pizza boxes here to grab, if you’re into that.Ĭollect a Screwdriver melee weapon and take it to 3-1. For any ’80s, ’90s, or ’00s kids out there, this is obviously a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
NUCLEAR THRONE WATER LEVEL FULL
The Pizza Sewers are full of pizzas and turtles. There is only one manhole, so don’t miss it! All you have to do is use any explosive on a manhole in any of the Sewers floors. This is the easiest secret area to unlock. If the skull mouth closes, you’ve killed too many enemies!Ĭompleting this area sends you straight to 3-3. Watch the fish skulls in the Desert to see if you’ve killed too many enemies to summon the Big Bandit early. Killing the boss quickly will make a blue portal appear on the Big Bandit’s corpse. Then you’ll need to kill the boss quickly. If you open every chest and manage to only kill one or two enemies in the area, a Big Bandit boss will spawn. To enter the underwater Oasis, you’ll need to open every chest (weapon, ammo, rad canisters) in any of the desert areas without killing too many enemies in the area. You’ll also find chests with higher level weapon drops!
Typically, secret areas are much harder than normal progression areas. Get cracking! Uncover optional bosses and warp zones that take you deeper down the progression path with these hidden areas.
NUCLEAR THRONE WATER LEVEL PRO
If you’re a pro player and want to skip ahead, grab powerful weapons, or conquer the mysterious IDPD, we’ve got the tips you’ll need to break into these locations.
Not every location is particularly large or difficult, at least two of these sections are only a single room, but most provide challenge for additional rewards. There are Easter eggs, weapon caches, and an extra boss battle. There are seven total secret areas, not counting the additional hidden Crown Vaults, that are accessible throughout your progression toward the titular Nuclear Throne. If you’re hungry for hard bosses, new characters, or even an alternate ending, then look no further. Every good rogue-like has secret areas, and Nuclear Throne has plenty of hidden locations to explore.
