Walkthrough
Advance along the only available path, dealing with Strogg as you meet them, until you come to an open-air courtyard. All the level secrets are clustered around this point, so if you need help finding them either take a look at the Secrets section now or, since you will be coming back this way, make a note to do this later. There are a number of ways forward from this point, each is considered separately in the sub-sections below.

Secrets
This level has three (3) secrets, all quite close together near the start of the level:
 * 1) You will come to a sunken area containing explosive barrels and crates.  There is a crack in the rear wall.  Either stand clear and shoot the barrels or just shoot the wall to break it open.  Enter the low alcove thus revealed to receive the message "You have found a secret area" and collect a Backpack of ammunition.  Unless you are short of ammunition, consider collecting the Backpack on your way out of the level.
 * 2) As soon as you enter the first open-air courtyard area, there is an upward ramp on your left. At the bottom of the ramp, to the right, a stone projects slightly from the wall.  Press it back to lower the ramp.  Behind the ramp, at the other end, is an Adrenaline.  Consider collecting this on your way out of the level in case you lose health in the fighting.
 * 3) The first open-air courtyard area has a lower level.  Drop down and make your way along the walkway to the left and to a doorway where you will met some Strogg.  Through the doorway you will find two broken doors.  You can't break then down any more, so just crouch and crawl under the right-hand door.  Shoot away some projecting rock and move further inside to receive the message "You have found a secret area".  Explore further inside to find a Grenade Launcher and a MedKit.
