Black Market

Main article: Black Market

In one of the levels in the second area, there's a secret exit hidden in the ground that you need to bomb or dig out. If you have the Udjat Eye, it will "blink" and make a sound when you get close; the faster it blinks and emits noise, the closer you are. The Spectacles are useless for finding the Black Market.

City of Gold

Main article: The City of Gold

If you find a gold-colored door in Area 4 (level 14, specifically) while equipped with the Hedjet and wielding the Scepter, then you'll be permitted entry to the City of Gold.
