Part 60

Find a healing chamber in a room with a vortigaunt (vort); approach cautiously and fire hornets ahead.

Ride the spinny up-n-down lift and quicksave.

On the walkway, memorize the vortigaunt's position, quickrestore, and defeat it with hornets or an AR grenade.

Ride the lift again, run to a ledge, then along the walkway to a large area behind three pillars.

Use this area to defeat the three alien controllers with hornets. Use the assault rifle on at least one controller to conserve gluon gun ammo.

Walk along skinny, curving walkways to two small door-sized holes in the wall. Enter the right-hand doorway and proceed down a red-lit corridor to a tall spiral-screw-style room.

On the central structure's lowest floor, altfire-hornet the grunt barrel, then back up and fire hornets to kill the grunt.

Defeat the vortigaunt on the lowest floor, which may be hiding behind the central pillar.

Move to see the right side of the grunt barrel on the floor across from your doorway, altfire-hornet it, then strafe left and fire hornets to kill the grunt.

Find and defeat the vortigaunt on this floor, jumping onto its floor and moving slowly around the pillar if necessary.

Collect supplies from this floor and the floor below by dropping onto the spiral walkway.

Return to the second floor by going up the walkway and jumping.

Move along the walkway to jump up and kill the vortigaunt on the third floor (no need to break the grunt barrel).

Check the third floor for supplies, then go up the spiral walkway to jump-hornet the vortigaunt on the fourth floor.

Quicksave before walking onto the fourth floor, which has health packs, armor batteries, and an ammo canister behind two grunt barrels.

If you choose to get the goodies on the fourth floor, quicksave, run to get them quickly, drop to the floor below, repeat to get back to the second floor, run to the nearby doorway, and go around the corner to be safe.

Return to the main chamber and go to the next spinny up-n-down lift.

Quicksave before riding this lift, as it pauses very little and can glitch-jam at the top, damaging you. Three more alien controllers will appear as you ride up.

The best way to handle this lift is to jump on, let it rise, quickrestore if it glitches, and stay on until it goes down again.

Jump toward the big area behind the three huge pillars and take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) to defeat the three controllers with hornets. Alternatively, ride the lift up, enter the side area with the healing chamber, and defeat controllers as they follow.

After defeating the controllers, return to the lift area, quicksave, and keep riding the lift up and trying to jump off onto the walkway, quickrestoring when you fall or get glitch-stuck until you succeed.

Check the side area for a healing chamber.

Stand in the side area's doorway and look toward the final spinny up-n-down lift. If a vortigaunt is on it, hornet-shoot it.

Get on the lift when it stops next to you. Wait until it stops near the big twirly spinaroosa teleporter gadget.

Jump into the gadget's zappy green center to be taken to section c4a1f.

In section c4a1f, make running jumps to the nearest platform until you reach the big floating rock with the red teleporter swirl.

Quicksave, then jump up to enter the red swirl, which takes you to the Nihilanth chapter.
