Perfect Dark Multi Mysteries

One of Perfect Dark's creator's characteristic - Rare - is it's uncanny desire to stick a huge amount of detail in it's games. A lot has been seen in the mysteries section, which deals with Solo mission details that aren't clear, BETA reports and other interesting questions we may ask ourselves. However, I haven't gotten much into the little tid-bits Rare likes to put in, especially multi-player arena secrets. Even though you do most of the aimless exploring and run-around bashing in this part of the game, being able to spot these secrets out takes a very sharp eye and the right equipment. I've went out and spotted the things for you, and if, after reading this, you want to go on a treasure hunt for this, I advise you too equip yourself with the following: Slayers, Farsight XR-20's, Sniper Rifles and possibly the cheat Infinite Ammo & Invincibility.

PD MultiFile #00001 - Skedar
The first reaction is: "Hey! that's a secret passageway to another part of the level!!!". Then, Majora's Mask fans go: "That's oddly familiar, looks like the last temple...". Well, no. This is just a perspective illusion looking at the ceiling through a whole. If you notice, well, the level is full of wholes in the ceiling... Allot of times there are obelisks pointing out of them from the bottom. Up to you to find them all... Interest level: **

PD MultiFile #00002 - Grid
A lot of people are really going nuts about this. A bunch of people believe that the Grid is a former G5 Building (because of the G5 Corp logo on the front wall). They are especially curious of the second elevator door. No, it serves no purpose. Nothing behind it. X-Ray doesn't reveal the slightest thing behind the locked door. So don't even try to get you way through. Interest level: ***
How many times have you passed the green barriers with the urge to look at it closely, but it had such outcasting clipping that didn't let you see the slightest bit? Try the Slayer out for a spin. Somewhat interesting. Interest level: ****

PD MultiFile #00003 - Sewers
What better place for hiding little secrets! The murky sewers hides plenty of them. Starting with the top one to the left. It's a girding above the ramp to the highest point of the level. Low level of light. Interest level: **
The closest thing you'll find to a manhole down there (come to think of it, there rarely is an entrance to multi levels - example, the Complex is just a twisted circle of passageways with no connection to the outside world...). It is situated above a ramp to the bottom square passageway near the yellow light. Most odd, is the ammo box up there. Interest level: ****
One of the most strangest - and easy to spot, as a matter of fact - mysteries of all the levels is this. Two ammo boxes underneath - unreachable - and lying in a stream of green sewage. Interest level: ***

PD MultiFile #00004 - Warehouse
Notice the word "LOADING". Wonder what it's doing there. It's not as if it has a door so a truck can pull in and load up. No connection to the outside world... Interest level:**
You can get up on the roof above the "LOADING" sign. There is a ladder on one side... Not much to do up there, though. Interest level:**
When your on the roof, you can see the big hangar where all the boxes are stacked up and you can run on ramps around the walls. This is quite a rare manifestation in Perfect Dark, or most other games. They never really work on texturing and clipping the backgrounds or behind the main polygons... Interest level:**½
This is the most enigmatic of all the secrets in the multi player levels. Why? When? What? Who? How? Where...? It is situated above the whole in the vents. Interest level:*****

PD MultiFile #00005 - Base
Some people say it's a map of the level, some say it's an alien drawing of some sort. What do you think of it? Up to you to decide what you think it is. It is situated at an exit of the glass floor in the middle of the level Interest level: ***½
Ah! So this is where the sixth weapon is... It isn't easy jumping over to it. Take a run at it, and try to use sidestepping. Hang on tight when you land the ladder. Interest level: ****

PD MultiFile #00006 - Car Park
Oh, please! This is the worst level ever. It down right sucks! It is so boring and slow. What exactly is it supposed to be? A multi level parking lot for cars, or Rare's error of nature? It is too embarrassing and boring. Total screw up, Rare! Interest level: -(***)

PD MultiFile #00007 - Temple
The only thing with this level, is the curious windows on some walls. Looks like a passageway where you jump down into the area. Interest level: **

PD MultiFile #00008 - Felicity [Facility]
The Facility is back, and with the same secrets. Check above your head in the passageway behind the bathrooms. Interest level: ***
