Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard

At the Tram Station, collect the audio log and item, then head to the deck.

In the bathroom, find items on the ladies' side. On the guys' side, use kinesis to grab an item near the toilets while avoiding crawlers.

Take the lift up to the Sapling Room.

Collect the schematic and items, then meet Hammond and gather more items.

After the chat, enter the next room to begin the objective to destroy eight Poison Pods.

In Atmosphere Control, find lockers on the left and a store. You can buy a power node and 10 line racks to acquire the Line Gun, setting the Ripper in storage. Your arsenal can include the Cutter, Contact Beam, Line Gun, and Force Gun (for grenades). Save your game.

Take the left door. You can buy power nodes until you have around 30,000 creds, selling spare ammo. One node is needed for a door on this level. The next RIG suit is in the next level, so save money.

Proceed to the Hallway to West Tower. Avoid hot water sprouts by not getting close when the lights blink.

In the first room on the left, there may be a locked box. The second room has a bench; consider a second damage upgrade for the Cutter.

Exit the rooms, avoid sprouts, collect two wall boxes, and take the lift up. Kill the slasher and go through the door.

Enter the West Grow Chamber. Collect items to the right, then go left from the door for items on the ground.

As you advance, an ambush will occur: first, two babies (Lurkers) and two slashers, then more slashers from the back. Fight them off or run to the back door.

To deal with the ambush, walk forward as you enter. Two slashers and two lurkers will appear. Freeze one slasher and eliminate the other while avoiding the babies. Move forward to lure out three more ambush enemies on the left. Then, move to the back area for the final three enemies. Be patient.

Once inside, move to the first Poison Pod wheezing fumes. Shoot the box, then shoot the pod twice with the Cutter.

Switch to your Line Gun or other strong weapon. Turn around and wait for a super enemy to leap from the vent.

Go outside for a single baby enemy.

Enter another room for the second Poison Pod. Kill it, collect items, and return outside. Shoot the pregnant enemy in the arms.

Take the lift in the center of the room to go up a level. Collect an item beside the lift and an item to the left of the door using kinesis. Enter the door behind the lift.

In Hydroponics Control, find a locker to the right. Move forward. Before killing the pod to the left, take two cannisters and place them among dead bodies in the center. Ignite the cannisters around the bodies. You may need 3 Cutter blades: two for the pod and one for a cannister.

Kill the pod, then quickly shoot a cannister to explode the bodies and damage any infectors. Kill the infectors by mashing the button if they jump on you.

Exit and take the opposite door to find a box and a save point.

For the Hydroponics Control infectors, you can dismember bodies, but leaving one whole provides bait for the two infectors. You can place a cannister by the door, ignite it after killing the pod, then ignite another in the center, or use any combination.

Proceed to Refrigeration West. Turn right to face an exploder. Use the Force Gun to knock it back, then use its alt-fire grenades, or aim for its bulb bomb if it's not too close.

More exploders will come from the opposite end. Use more grenades or aim for their bombs. Do not let them get close as they will explode. Collect items and enter the next room.

In the next room, find items and a stasis recharge.

Enter the zero-g area. Look up and use kinesis to move the panel with an arrow to the side. Two babies (Lurkers) will fall out; kill them.

Go through the opening and avoid spikes in the cage. Move to the side to open the next panel.

Jump through and locate the single baby in this cage. Jump to solid ground and go through the door.

At Air Filtration, find items to the sides of the door. Get an audio log before taking the lift down.

Shoot four purple panels to open the path: the first is on this side, the second in the first tube, the third through the panels of the first tube, and the final one through the doorway of the second tube. All can be shot with the Cutter from the first doorway without entering the tubes.

Once the four panels are down, make a dash as fire will block the path.
