1. Finding nukes yourself.
Some nukes aren't very well hidden, but most are easy to find. Here's how to
have a crack at finding them yourself (and not to be a cheater):
1. Blow up or kick in any suspicious looking wall, ventilation shaft or barrel.
2. Use your sliding kick (run and press kick) to get into small spots.
3. Sometimes the nukes are hidden very close to each other.
4. Kill enemies. Some of them (especially bosses) drop nukes.
5. Drop down. Chance is you won't fall to your doom, but on a hidden ledge.
6. Look around with Right CTRL to locate hidden nukes.
7. Most nukes lie on bars high in levels; always work your way up.
8. Conserve pipe bombs to be able to blow stuff up.
9. If you see a nuke and can't reach it, you may get there later.
2. Nuke locations.

3. Getting all kills and other tips.
1. To get all kills, you also have to kill all creatures that are not yet
mutated (such as cockroaches).
2. If you can't seem to get all the kills, remember that you can also blow up
creatures that more in the fore- or background than Duke,
by thowing a couple of pipebombs (just hold the key), and then detonating them
all at the same time.
This will give a massive explosion, that will kill enemies in all dimensions.
An example are the two rats in the foreground in the stage were you fight
the Club Ming boss.
4. If you can't get all the kills (83 instead of 85) on some levels, don't
worry. This is a bug in the game, and your savegame will still
be ok, it will show up as if you really have all kills. Sometimes you'll get
them all, sometimes you won't.
5. If you kick an enemy to death, you'll get twice the ego you'll get when you
shoot him.
6. You can kill enemies by jumping on them, Mario-style. This doesn't do much
damage though.
7. To increase your weapon's range, look (default left Control) in the
direction you are firing.
8. Once you have the X3000, hold fire while a level is being loaded, and watch
your Ego raise...
4. Rewards
When you find all the nukes on a difficulty, you'll get a reward when you
complete the game. The rewards are:
EASY: Double kick damage
MEDIUM: You take half the damage you normally do, and your shirt is blue
(except for in end of level cutscenes).
HARD: You'll get the X3000, the most powerful weapon in the game. It's an
auto-targeting lightning gun! Tip: hold fire while a level is loaded, and
you'll
toast every monster in that level the moment you'l be able to play again!
Finding all the nukes on Hard will also give you the ability to fight the
secret boss. Just before you face Morphix for the final time,
you walk past robo-Duke's hand. Just before his hand are some barrels of Glopp.
If you have all the nukes in this level, you can press up near them and
fight the boss, Wozma. It is super tough (you have to shoot it with rockets for
fifteen minutes or so), but you have infinite ammo. It'll shoot rockets and
throw stuff, but if you keep shooting it with rockets you'll be able to let
these things explode before they hit you.
Warning: if you save and load the level, you won't be able to fight the boss.
Just restart the level and try again.
You don't get anything (except an icon in your savegame) when you find all the
secrets and get all the kills. If you do this on all the difficulty levels, you
don't get anything either... except that you know that you've just wasted hours
of hours... playing one of the best games ever!
