Chips, Tapes, Secrets
By Emi
Secrets with screenshots.
WIP. Probably haven't found all of the non-tapes/chips secrets yet.
Blue line = progression path.
Red line = way to the secret.
Update 1: updated "Artifact-Zero" section with its redux version.
Update 2: added episode 2. Can't wait to redo that whole thing when it's actually finished.
Update 3: minor improvements, re-checked first two chapters after last update. E3P1 done.
Update 4: redid exodus. Again. Please god let this be the last time. Ep.3 done. Changes in Ep.1 added. Ep.2 was unchanged.

EPISODE 1
====================
1. Syn
1. - Data-Disk
Right behind you at the start of the level.
1.1 - Tape 1/3
After sliding through the hole. Jump up the ledge and turn 180.
1.2 - Chip 1/3
In the secondary fire tutorial room. Up the first ledge and around right corner.
1.3 - Tape 2/3
In the same room. Jump up some containers and crates up to the beam.
1.4 - Chip 2/3
Outside the previous room. Right at the door turn left around some crates and jump down.
1.5 - Secret Armor
In the same outside ledge area. On the other end jump on the crates and do a long jump-dash around the corner.
1.6 - Chip 3/3
In the skating arena. Behind the arcades near the exit.
1.7 - Tape 3/3
In the underground lab. After using jumppad jurn around and jump across the gap. Behind some boxes.
1.8 - Secret-ish armor
At the top of the lab after going up the ramp.
====================
2. Emergence
2.1 - Chip 1/3
Right out of the first gate. On the right, in some dark alleyway.
2.2 - Secret Armor
In the same first area. In the water right in front of the first gate.
2.3 - Chip 2/3
After dealing with the first batch of enemies you'll walk upon a broken pier. Follow it to a boat in front of it.
2.4 - Tape 1/3
Right after broken pier you'll have to pass through a gap too small to walk. So naturally you slide through. Doing that you'll probably miss the tape in the nook on the left of the ramp you just slid down.
Also, maybe a stretch, but potentially this is a Duke Nukem reference - this nook with it's lighting and the nuclear symbol graffiti really looks like some DN3D level exit.
2.5 - Data-Disk
In the area right after the ramp slide/tape. On the left behind the boat.
2.6 - Chip 3/3
In the next room after picking up smgs. Under the stairs.
2.7 - Teratek Key
So far it seems like when the tutorial popup said "nearby" it meant NEARBY. Barely hidden but I'm going to include them anyway.
Hard left right out of the door next to the teratek chest.
2.8 - Tape 2/3
In the parking garage. At the bottom, in the pool of what looks like some dangerous acid but actually isn't. Dive in and swim under the ramp.
2.9 - Tape 3/3
In the area with the blue key. Behind the remains of a building containing the key.
2.10 - Secret Armor
Underneath the ramp where you meet first daddy.
====================
3. Battle Alley
3.1 - Secret Armor
Did you know you can shotgun jump Daikatana style (but way better)? That's where I figured it out. And now you know too. Use shotgun alt fire to jump to the ledge above the first "room". Jumping doesn't require charging all 3 shots, 1 is plenty.
Also this
3.2 - Chip 1/3
After clearing first arena. Go up the ramp, take right up another ramp, look across the gap to find first chip.
3.2.2 - Data-Disk
If you picked up previous chip then you probably picked up this disk. It's on the ledge you jump from to get the chip.
3.3 - Secret Health
In the water next to first arena, by the left wall.
3.4 - Secret Weapon
A bit later you'll pass by some enticingly green glowing grates. Down the grate you can find a minigun. Door is right next to it under the ramp. To open it look at a pillar on the opposite wall to the door.

3.5 - Secret-ish Armor
Behind a ship wreck in the middle of an area with jumppads.
3.6 - Tape 1/3
After jumping on the first pad look down the hole in the platform you landed on.
3.7 - Chip 2/3
Higher up, next to a splice machine you can find a small window, jump through onto a platform across.
3.8 - Secret-ish Armor
Hard to miss. In the narrow-corridor-ledge area you pass through behind a fence. Use jump pad to reach it.
3.9 - Teratek Key
After reaching the teratek crate go up the ramp and back the way you came but higher. Key is above the entrance to this wall-running tunnel.
3.10 - Secret-ish Armor
On some arches way down on the ground level. Can't be reached from the platform before 2 wall-running walls. Barely even worth the time it takes to climb back and seems to be more like a consolation prize for those who fell down.
3.11 - Tape 2/3
On the metro rails. Wait for the train to pass and quickly run the way train comes from to get the tape.
3.12 - Chip 3/3
In the last "parkour" part, after jumping on a pad and doing a wallrun you land in an area with some enemies. Turn around and you will see another "wallrun wall". Use it to get to the next platform where you find a button in an alcove. Press it and use both walls to get back to a bridge above the jumppad. There you'll find an open door.
3.13 - Tape 3/3
Another use case for the shotgun-jumping capability. Right before the door you have slide under. Use shotgun to jump to the area above that door.
====================
4. Open Season
4.1 - Tape 1/3
Through the first door. Deal with adversaries and jump onto the pile of boxes. Shotgun jump to the platform slightly above and away with a green ad on it.
4.2 - Chip 1/3
In front of the cinema jump into the water on left side, find a yellow lit tunnel and follow it to a secret cache.
4.3 - Tape 2/3
Follow the level until you get to the second floor of the pink alley. Instead of taking the jump pad go around it down a bit, take the left turn and follow the yellow lit tunnel to a ledge, right turn, jump, take the special wall and jump off of it to the alcove in the opposite wall.
4.4 - Secret-ish Armor and Ammo
After taking a jumppad by the bank, head up small stairs and instead of taking right into the building take left, up on the ramp and across to the stash.
4. - Data-Disk
On the same rooftoop, in the dead end by the ramp on the left side.
4.5 - Tape 3/3
After going through the building you'll end up on the rooftop. Climb on the thing you entered through and use the thin strip of "wall-runnable" wall to reach the tape.
4.6 - Chip 2/3
Another chip is under the bridge between previous rooftop and the PD. Just hop of the bridge and try to land somewhere.
4.7 - Chip 3/3
Last chip is right in front of the PD, around leftmost giant pillar.
4.8 - Teratek Key
Under the stairs right next to the crate.
4.9 - Secret-ish Armor
In the cinema, under the stair behind bottom aquarium.
4.10 - Powerup
Powerup up top in the bank can be reach from either side. Not sure which path is intended both are kinda clunky.
E: Yeah, intended way is definitely using jumppad, I was kinda thinking getting it before triggering the fight.
====================
5. Dead Plaza
5.1 - Secret Health
Very early you'll come upon a body of water. Jump down and swim to the other end, behind a wall a mega health.
5.2 - Tape 1/3
Right above the entrance into lobby/water area.
5. - Data-Disk
Above the area entrance, opposite to the rocket launcher, in an alcove on the right side.
5.3 - Chip 1/3
Get to the highest platform of this area with water. On the other side of the long corridor across the water you can see rocket launcher in a hole. It's reachable with some parkouring, walljump upgrade, shotgun jump, whatever. Point is - get to it. Dispatch the enemies and at the end of this area on the other side of rocket launcher window is a chip.
5.4 - Tape 2/3
After going through the aquarium door. Get to the bottom of the spiral ramp and jump into the water, under the pathway is first tape.
5.5 - Teratek Key
Right next to the tape. Make a left turn from the tape.
5.6 - Chip 2/3
In the room with bunch of marked walls, behind a wall on the only platform in the room. Use the jump pad to hop over the wall and grab the chip.
5.7 - Secret-ish Armor
After wall-running room you'll be dropping down a few rooms. In the 3rd room (2nd drop) there's a mega armor behind a wall.
5.8 - Tape 3/3
Proceeding through the area made out of panels you'll get locked in a corridor that opens into a room (full of enemies) with a U turn into a downwards ramp. Break the panels at that U turn and check behind the container.
5.9 - Chip 3/3
In the awful nightmare corridor. Near the exit you can find (with use of explosives or flamethrower) a button which when shot opens a door in the first room of this awful place.
====================
6. Ascension
6.1 - Tape 1/3
Right after first door. Jump down, 180, button around corner, turns on jump pad. Up you go.
6.2 - Secret Stash
Pass through the door and slide under the meatgrinder. Turn around and look under the little bridge.
6.3 - Secret-ish Health
After going through key door and sliding under a meat grinder you have a pit by your left with a drone floating in the middle. Don't kill it but use it as a platform to get mega health.
6. - Data-Disk
On the right side of the apartment complex yard.
6.4 - Teratek Key
Above the blue key. Shotgun jump up there.
6.5 - Secret Health
At the point where game gives you a...ladders tutorial? jump down the yellow edge and do 180. Hole in the floor leads to the mega health you might've noticed earlier and to a potential instant death.
6.6 - Tape 2/3
After climbing the first ladder in the giant meatgrinder room, on the side with a box that is clearly not having a great time*.
*
6.7 - Chip 1/3
Right after making your way through the apartment-complex-meat-grinding-facility? gauntlet. Outside path takes a left turn onto an overhang. Instead check the dead end in front of you.
6.8 - Chip 2/3
In the "Meat-Grinding-Facility Pt2". Moved into what previously was intended path. Slide into the opening underneath the central jump pad.
6.9 - Tape 3/3
After passing through a "Syn-gore" apartment and getting outside. Go left around the building, down a level, look for a piece of rubble sticking outside, walk on it, 180, into the hole. Picking up the tape spawns some stuff. Fun fact - killing drone while standing on it sends you flying upwards.
6.10 - Chip 3/3
After taking the elevator. On a corner of the roof. Facing tower in the middle it will be back right one.
====================
7. Rooftops
7.0 - Secret Health
At the start of the level turn around, up the slope, break through the boards and take a right for a mega health.
7.1 - Tape 1/3
At the end of the initial climb to the titular rooftops. You'll do a jump from a ladder into a wall-run into a jump pad which leads into a ladder around a left corner. Climb the ladder a bit higher and look back, jump onto the boomstick ad ledge.
7. - Data-Disk
Behind some boxes next to the jump pad on the roof.
7.2 - Secret-ish Health
When get into the room that looks like some kind of storage. Exit to the second landing-pad-thing and turn right, it's in an alcove in the wall.
7.3 - Teratek Key
From the teratek box follow the intended path a little bit, down the ramp into the room with one electric monster, look down the edge with medkits. To get back up go around the corner.
7.4 - Chip 1/3
One room later you'll be back in the previous room but in the small fenced corridor above. Do 180 on the jump pad and grab the chip above it.
7.5 - Secret-ish Armor
Mega armor behind some concrete stuff on a rooftop next to the next jump pad.
7.6 - Chip 2/3
Waaaaay, later. Night-club tower. After you destroy the scrambler check at the bottom.
7.7 - Tape 2/3
On top of the same tower, on the giant loop. (Fun fact - you can pick it up without leaving the car)
7.8 - Tape 3/3
On top of the highest tower, in the back.
7.9 - Chip 3/3
Same tower, in a bottom corner of the "traffic" room. Purple force field kills.
7. - Data-Disk
After the car park descend. On the opposite side of the room from the exit door.
====================
8. Artifact-Zero
8.1 - Tape 1/3
After jumping section, in the very beginning of the train. Jump the gap to the second cart, do a U-turn around blue container.
8.2 - Chip 1/3
In the first cart, behind blue container on the right.
8.3 - Chip 2/3
After you defeat a big enemy and a cutscene of a hatch opening plays. Jump down, follow the path, right before you have just onto a "wallrunnable" wall, on the left on a tiny ledge behind a shipping crate. Nigh impossible to miss.
8.4 - Tape 2/3
On top of the penultimate (one before the last one) train cart, after the big battle.
8.5 - Chip 3/3
After the last big battle on the train, on top of the train engine/last cart.
8.6 - Tape 3/3
After the "of course this happens" get around or climb on top of the train cart behind you and get inside.
====================
EPISODE 2
====================
1. Paradise Lost
1.1 - Tape 1/3
In the very first area, underneath the starting platform.
1.2 - Chip 1/3
After getting through sewer-ish area you'll end up on a ledge, some enemies indicate that you need to jump into the building below. Obviously you don't do that and you jump on top of that building. Chip in behind the vent cluster, under the train wreck.
1. - Data-Disk
In the half destroyed building with the chip on the roof. In the right side room of the top floor.
1.3 - Chip 2/3
After the long elevator ride, walk out of the building and platform up to the ledge, do 180, chip is behind and above the hole you left the building through.
1.4 - Tape 2/3
At the same ledge, jump onto the platform that has/had "zen chunk" on it and from there go around the wall in front of you, tape is behind it.
1.5 - Tape 3/3
Go through the building, after the small "arena" fight you'll have to pass under some arches. But why would you do that when you can go above them? Get on top and you won't miss the tape. Awkwardly double+wall jump to it or just use shotgun.
1. - Data-Disk
After last tape you'll have to climb a couple ladders. You'll be able to hear the disk at the end of the last ladder - it's around the corner.
1.6 - Teratek Key
Unmissiable. Take care of the crab-zombie and right after walking through the pass he was in front of you will see the key in front and above. Chest is right under the key.
1.7 - Chip 3/3
Getting to the last secret takes a worrying amount of time, so don't worry.
It's after you get the blue key. Jump down the hole behind the first blue door you found and end up at a two-way underwater fork. It's actually a three-way fork. On the left, behind some seaweed, is a small hole.
====================
2. Toxin Refinery
2. - Data-Disk
After the cutscene. Deal with the welcoming committee and check the left committee-closet.
2.1 - Tape 1/3
After introduction to shield shotguners. When you take a jump-pad from one platform onto another do a 180, on the platform above the jump-pad.
2.2 - Tape 2/3
In the room with the blue key, under the entrance ramp.
2. - Data-Disk
After passing getting the blue key. Behind the blue key door in the same room as the key, on the left side of the hole you are supposed jump down into.
2.3 - Chip 1/3
After you go through the blue door in the blue key room and end up back in the area with the blue key door, go through the blue key door and as soon as you are outside jump on the containers, do 180, chip is on the left of the door you just passed through.
2.4 - Tape 3/3
In the same area. Instead of jumping the gap take left and walk along the path. At end a bunch of rockets and tape behind some boxes.
2.5 - Chip 2/3
After the mess that is the narrow bridge fight. On the left side there's a pile of crates, jump on top, turn around.
2.6 - Chip 3/3
In the next room, under one of the doors.
2.7 - Teratek Key
Press the button to open door, through the door you'll end up in a room with a bunch of supplies and a chest. Key is under the platform.
====================
3. Teratek Factory
3.1 - Chip 1/3
When you take a jump-pad to C-shaped catwalks with some turrets and a robo-worm thing. After you deal with enemies check under the blue key locked door to the left, on its' right side.
3.2 - Tape 1/3
Behind the aforementioned blue key door. Near the button you have to press there's an inconspicuous box.
3.3 - Tape 2/3
At the end of the room with double sided triple horizontal mashers where's a set of them going nuts. Behind that. And if you already forgot, like I did - we got bullet-time in the previous level.
3.4 - Zhen Chunk\Data-Disk
The ability you just acquired allows you to gain momentum in any direction. Grapple at the very first hook at a right angle and send yourself flying towards a balcony to the left of that hook for some bonus cash...or just do it from the next ledge and second hook which seems a bit easier I'm overthinking things a bit
3.5 - Teratek Key

I found a Zen Chunk in Episode 1, Level 2. Under the building with the blue key.
IDDQD 12 Oct, 2024 @ 3:33am 
Excellent guide, but 3.4 on Battle Alley needs to be worded better. You have to look up and shoot a button behind the pillar, but the guide only explains to look at the pillar, so it can be easy to get confused. And yes, like the comment below, there are 2 or 3 Data-Disk missing from the guide, but thankfull they don't count for the achievement.
extrabright 26 Jun, 2024 @ 3:48am 
The Data-Disk in Artifact-Zero is missing.
SomeMug 2 May, 2024 @ 8:43pm 
The 2nd image for "3.4 - Secret Weapon" is very misleading, it points to another room entirely for no apparent reason
Tommy Jarvis 10 Apr, 2024 @ 9:57pm 
Excellent guide man! Thanks to you I enjoyed this jewel of game much more.
MaxPlus 4 Mar, 2024 @ 7:47pm
