Walkthrough

1
In the first room, detour to your left to pick up the 69mm magazine on the floor behind the fenced-off area for +1 Ego.
2
Follow the catwalks and race through a few rooms, watching the Pigcops flee.
3
After seeing the fleeing Pigcops, prepare for a Berserk Pigcop that will rush you. Defeat it and continue.
4
In a large room with a hole in the floor, grab the optional Ripper and take the right path.
5
Once the path disintegrates, travel back and use the left path and red pipes to cross the gap. If you fall, swim to the ladder and try again.
6
CHECKPOINT (an auto-save point you restart from on death)
7
Follow the corridors, possibly shooting hidden pods for a Ripper.
8
Prepare for a challenging section as the water level starts rising. Barrels will fly down the staircase, dealing significant damage. Red explosive barrels are one-hit kills even with full Ego (health).
9
To climb the stairs: race up dodging barrels (dangerous, unpredictable path), use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) spots on the right wall to dodge red barrels (slower but safer), use the rising water as a shield to slow barrels (risk drowning, limited time to kill Pig Cop throwing barrels), drink a Beer to take more punishment (disables running), use Steroids to increase movement speed, or combine both (Beer first, then Steroids) for best results. On DiG difficulty, exploding barrels deal reduced damage.
10
Alternatively, shoot the red barrels with an automatic weapon like the Ripper (needs two hits to explode) before they reach you.
11
At the top, defeat the Berserk Pigcop.
12
Head to the gate on the left. Three Rats will run under it. Once the third Rat crosses, the gate will close. If you don't cross before it closes, the water level behind you will rise, trapping you. The gate also closes after you cross.
13
CHECKPOINT
14
The rising water is no longer a threat. Continue until a mechanic is being squished by a Berserk Pigcop. Defeat the Pigcop and two more that spawn.
15
Head down the path behind where the Pigcops spawned.
16
If you have Pipe Bombs, lay them down as a trap.
17
Find a paper airplane hidden in the room by climbing onto the duct work.
18
Ahead, an engineer is on a bridge that collapses. Do not jump off; on DiG difficulty, the fall is fatal.
19
Look left and find a ladder to the bottom floor. Follow the arrows to a ladder against the far wall.
20
Climb the ladder, duck to enter a waterway, and race down it to be blasted into the next level.

Lay down any remaining Pipe Bombs as traps before proceeding to the next area.
Climb onto the duct work to find a hidden paper airplane.
On DiG difficulty, the fall from the collapsing bridge is fatal.
