Discover the secrets in Duke Nukem 3D's E3L04 - L.A Rumble level. Find hidden messages, references, and items with this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Secret 1: UNDER THE KNIFE
    Near the beginning of the level, you'll find a babe surrounded by Pigs. To the right of this area is a dark wall. Use the Night Vision Goggles (if you have them) on this wall to reveal a hidden message. This message pertains to Secret 2, titled "UNDER THE KNIFE," and is a pun referencing surgical procedures.
  2. 2
    Secret 2: Levelord's Message
    This secret requires the use of the DNCLIP cheat. At the end of the level, where the helicopter is visible, proceed through the window onto the helipad. Go to the radio transmitter. Stand beside the transmitter and look at the large fans. You will see a message that reads, "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE... EITHER. - LEVELORD". This is a reference to a similar message found in level 1-5. [Credit: Steven Worek]
Tips
  • The helicopter at the end of the level is named "NUKEM." The name appears as a mirror image on the helicopter itself.
  • During the earthquake event near the beginning of the level, look towards the ledge with the Body Armor. There is a yellow warning sign that says "QUAKE SITE" with a graphic of broken land. Duke's line, "I ain't afraid of no Quake!" during this event is likely a nod to ID Software, who were developing the game Quake concurrently.
