Hidden Areas of Neocron [Archive] - Official Neocron Forum

The city of Neocron is covered in numerous sealed off, unused, or forgotten areas. I've become quite addicted to finding these little spots. Sometimes, with a little luck and research, some history behind each area can be found.

Tell-tale signs of these places are the usual rusty "blockfence" that eats drones when it is used to cover holes and the aging wooden fence that ignores lighting changes.

So, to the more adventurous runners, what hidden areas have you found?

I'll start:

Behind the Outzone church is a tunnel system that leads to an unused door.

I have no idea if there was an intended use for this area or if it ever had a use, but any history on this location would be great.

Pepper Park 3 GR has such blocked off fences too.
Also in the OZ with that rift and green water there are sealed off areas either.

Also, I think some of those fences you are mentioning really are just there to be fences. Sure, they've been the GM team's no1 chhoice for blocking places off - but the model existed for a reason in the first place.

Hell, the secret FA HQ in TH is an absolute nightmare to find, on a par with the ByB (maybe even worse).

And no, the security centre isn't the secret HQ before anybody chirps up. This one has FSMs, offices, etc.

the one with the barkeep named "H****** Delight" ? ;p

the other one is just a secret backdoor

OZ 7 - Was discussed in game the other day i thought it looked like a church from the shape but i was told its a Disused Power plant.

Overall much needs to be done to the game world. The MB entrance for example, that lift shaft that's been there for god knows how long how about for a future patch making it a grav lift.

Big Yellow ball? how about a weird green wall.

If I remember right Outzone 7 had spawning issues and they shut it down since they could not get a reasonable fix. I'd love to see that place open back up just to explore it.

Some of those fences are orginal, but you can also tell when they are placed after the fact. The Agg Cellers have some obvious orginal fences and several that were added later. It seems like at one time the cellers were a lot more open.

pretty sure that it was a mapping issue, you could get up onto the top of the map and fall off the "world" in a few places

I recall being able to go into the water at some point, dont know if it was beta or even early retail, either that or it was just a screwed up reset point that dropped you in there... its been a long time.

The neocron Main Sewers is a massive place thats hardly used by anyone, its mostly low level mobs there, upto the /30ish creatures like spiders etc.

Theres also Einstein (is he still there tapping away ?)

When you say the hidden FA HQ, is that the area you had to enter crawling through ducts and stuff ? rarely explored there much, memory is foggy, was usually getting shot at too much being tangent for most my tanks career :P

Theres the nuke silo's at MB, gotta pass them on the way to the byb.

I wandered into the main sewers. Mostly empty. bored. Came across a door I had to hack to get in. Never went back. Such a terrible waste of space.

Okay... Pepper Park Sewers... Some of them have this door on level two, I believe, near the start where you click on it, but you can't enter it. I remember coming across it back in 2002, and it has always mystified me. It is still there.

What is behind it? Why is it inaccessible?

Hmm, directions or at least a hint?

Half the fun with the exploration is finding the ties the location has with the lore. The world is shockingly well thought out and there are a TON of places that have unspoken uses.

Kind of like how the Outzone was once the main housing districts in Neocron until the Irata III colony project started back up. The Outzone went full on Detroit level abandoned and the mutants and criminals drove out the Copbot patrols. The sudden drop in city population is causing the entire Outzone to decay so bad that most of the Industrial Sector is starting to fester with the same urban decay.

Instead of the death of an auto industry in a Detroit it was the death of NEXT's space program.

Theres a really good sector in Main Sewers for low level lvling think its 6 or 7 the one with the secret door in the wall, loads of rats, mutants and the odd aggressor.

Main Sewer is another example of a great potential going to waste.

I remember in beta and early release there was a chain link fence in Plaza...I can't remember which sector but I want to say it was near the Medi. You could get through it in just the right spot and there were some ramps that went up and back into an area that was pretty much useless but fun to get into ....lol. Its been so long I dont remember where the spot is. I remember seeing it later on covered up with regular city wall.

Different Sewer they're in Gaia mine Sector 2 where you go for the chran epic theres a Tacholytium Titan Warbot there. In the building there the S.T.O.R.M Bot used to spawn. If you enter the door in the building you will end up swimming through green pipes and come out in some rooms with mutants with lightsabers, continue further and you end up swimming up a pipe right in the middle of regents mobs.

Love this thread, it reminds me of one of the things that attracted me to neocron in the first place. So many places to explorer so many cool things, i remember spending hours of my time in the sewers in OZ ect.

It would be epic to get a completely rebuild game with fewer zone syncs and updated graphics because to my memory there were some really beautiful places back in the day for the graphics that existed

I'll start:

Behind the Outzone church is a tunnel system that leads to an unused door.

I have no idea if there was an intended use for this area or if it ever had a use, but any history on this location would be great.

I think that used to lead to the Crahn chruch(the main church, old crahn HQ, I think) in OZ 9, where there were venders, a GR and a bunch of hack boxes.
There was also a secret tunnel that lead to the wastelands from the church, that area of the church and tunnel is now sealed off...

Also in the Industrial Lab sectors there used to be venders that sold PSI spells, implants and ammo etc...
Outzone 1 used to have venders in it too, some may still be there, I think because Crahn runners used start in the Outzone(mainly OZ1), and their appartments were there, in OZ 3 there are still two sealed appartment lift doors, now sure if they were ever really used though..

I am not an oldtimer like all the Beta 1 guys but I played Neocron 2 for more than 3 years if I remember right. In all that time I only found 3 of the here mentioned areas.
It's really astounding how much secrets Neocron holds sector-wise. I can only imagine how much of NC changed from NC 1 to now and how many sectors changed, disappeared or were added until now. I bet even the devs don't know every single change in the world of NC.

This is one of the reasons why Neocron is so special. It has REAL secrets. There are lots of secrets that are only known by a hand full of people. When you find a legacy sector (if its not sealed) you can imagine by the remains what it was used for and so on.

This is a kind of magic that no other game ever archived.

I really wish that some secrets get revealed here so we can all enjoy it. But I know: No matter how much will be relvealed here, there will be always more sectors that only a hand full of people knows about it.......

I have to agree that this is one thing that seperates NC from all other MMOs.

Other MMORPGS that USED to be highly immersive with out-of-the-way vendors with unique items and a point to exploration have nerfed themselves into samey palp to satisfy the 13-year-old console-gamer newb crowds that dominate the marketplace today (I'm looking at you World of Warcraft, with your unique engineering patterns on vendors in alteriac mountains that you quietly removed).

Neocron is the one and only game that's resisted the tide and stayed true to the balls-out PvP, deep-immersion, fully-lore-based hardcore MMORPG roots.

To my mind it's the ONLY worthy successor to the giants of the genre like Ultima Online and Everquest.

In late beta I guess beta 4 and NC1 I discovered a spot in either F or E-11(South of Devereaux). I'd have to log in and look at the world map and sector map to locate it. I went there recently to see if it were still as I remember. Its not, apparently fixed. There is a "Kidney bean" shape of low land on the topo map. It is a very small corner of the zone. In the old days it was some kind of trap for HUNDREDS of fire mobs. I suppose you could call it exploiting, but we didn't really think anything other than it being part of the game at the time. We found a hot spot right? You could sit atop the hill side and fire AOE cannons into hundreds of 2 and 3 star fire mobs. It was literally the fire hell of Neocron. I know I can't be the only one to have discovered this spot...and I know I took others there with me. Anyone else remember this? I think it was the south east zone "corner" of F-11

I have a feeling you mean e-12, just at the south east corner of CRP.
I wouldnt call it a collection point as being right near the zone line and having mountains on almost all sides, i dont think they walked there.
But yea, this little section is kind of kidney shaped and to this day almost always has alot in it, not hundreds, but i wouldnt go there with anything less than a rhino. as there are 2-3 spawn points in that one little area.

Try Abandoned FA HQ, firstly sit in the knocked down chair and move the mouse to look around...the controls are more than simply inverted. Next go to the bottom of the HQ, crouch and crawl through the ventalation system. Strange room with an army of beggars, and the final room containing 4 Anarchist Beggars 100/100.

This place is located in outzone sec-1 near the indoor area where the pawn shop is, if you work it out give me a heads up mate

Hell, the secret FA HQ in TH is an absolute nightmare to find, on a par with the ByB (maybe even worse).

And no, the security centre isn't the secret HQ before anybody chirps up. This one has FSMs, offices, etc.

Ahh. that one took me a little while once when I was in TH, and then realised I had to use an exterior route to get there ;)

Sadly this is not an secretive hidden gem, just a bugged zone. We've fixed the issue on Vedeena and hope to be able to resolve on retail Soon™.

Nope. That's the security centre, which can incidentally also be reached from inside TH.

The secret HQ is much, much more hidden.

Is that the one you access from the core using the box to open the door?

Ever been to the main sewer? ;)

Shhhh, don't!

I've been trapped there for almost 5 hours till I found the exit (/set kill_self 1). Somebody told me that there is a special trader for ammo (AK as far as i remember, or spirit ammo for SH, not sure about this anymore) all I could discover was water, mutants and f***** rats.

Don't go there if you haven't got plenty of time or a good sense of orientation...

Mainsewer was a favorite "secret" place to wander in the old days, as well as Drone Racetrack, though there was never anyone there to race. What happened to the "secret" BD hideout? I went looking the other day and couldn't find it, and not so much a "hidden zone" but more a nostalgic easter egg, but does anyone remember the vehicle graveyard? (Lose your vehicle to sync bug, go find it in a parking lot of lost vehicles?)

What happened to the "secret" BD hideout?)Secret BD HQ and Secret Passage are both still there and worth exploring.

Didn't tanks level in there because you could shoot rockets against walls to damage the high level BD guards whilst not getting hit by them, but you were levelling your constitution from your own rockets? Obviously a PPU friend was required!

Prod that was an exploit... :)

Yeah I was kinda meant to mention that bit about it being an exploit. Slipped through the net! I in no way condone exploiting the Black Dragon guards!!

Noo, I swear it's not Daggerfall, the Elder Scrolls game before Morrowind! See, look closely, here's the same exact scene from another angle

It's completely different.

Does Neocron often get confused and use daggerfalls hud too?
..Or change textures?
Who are you trying to fool?

Was just kidding around. I was browsing through Daggerfall screenshots recently and I thought it was cool/funny (mostly just cool) that the DF screen highly resembled those many ruins you find in the wastelands. Maybe it's just me, but I can imagine a big spiderbot and warbot in the background hills in that DF shot, lol.

(although, it's actually a DF mod with an enhanced light engine, but there we go)
