Detailed walkthrough for Part 22 of Gears of War, including strategies for the Left and Right paths, enemy encounters, collectible locations, and Insane mode tips.
Walkthrough:
- Use the Torque Bow if you have it for the Boomers. Snipe enemies in the courtyard and prioritize the sniper in the building above the Boomers.
- Locate the Cog Tags (CT25) in this area. Head back to the start, down the ramp, and up the first stairs on the right.
- Pick up all available ammo before proceeding to the area where the Boomers appeared.
- Insane Mode Note: This area is difficult with no checkpoints. Fall back from Theron Guards and revive teammates. A Boomshot is available in the shed where the sniper usually is.
- You must split up. If you have the Longshot, the Left Path is recommended. Otherwise, the Right Path might be easier, but the choice is yours.
- Left Path:
- Round the corner and head left for Lancer ammo and grenades.
- Turn around and go up the stairs.
- At the top, use the Lancer's chainsaw or shotgun to defeat the Theron Guard.
- Enter the next room and pick off enemies on the ground with mid-to-long range weapons, preferably the Longshot.
- Hop over the low wall and take cover behind the pillar to shotgun Wretches. Fall back to regenerate health if needed.
- Kill the remaining Locust and Wretches in the next room.
- Pick up the Hammer of Dawn next to the window and use it on the seeder. Watch for Wretches from the left hallway.
- Switch back to your preferred weapon and head down the hallway to twist the valve.
- Follow the new door outside. Destroy Wretches and snipe enemies below.
- As you go down the stairs, have your shotgun ready for Wretches. Destroy remaining Locusts by sniping or falling back.
- Head across the street and into the building. Go left and then outside to take cover.
- If in co-op, wait for your ally to handle the Troika. If solo, snipe enemies. Be patient as there is limited cover.
- Once you hop across, enter the house and pick up ammo. Blow the propane tanks in the truck and go through the gate.
- Right Path:
- Take cover and snipe all enemies in the courtyard. Use Lancer or Torque Bow if you don't have the Longshot.
- After the first wave, defeat the second wave which includes a Theron Guard or two.
- Pick up ammo and head through the doorway on the left.
- Obtain the Hammer of Dawn located in the middle of the pathway.
- Use the Hammer of Dawn to take out the Seeder and other enemies.
- Grab your Longshot, plug the Locust hole, and wait for Dom to open the gate.
- Proceed through the building until you are outside.
- Take cover on the wall (diagram provided in source text). Use this spot to snipe enemies and shotgun Wretches.
