Detailed walkthrough for Part 36 of High on Life 2, guiding you through underwater sections, outdoor areas, and combat encounters with marines and a chopper.
Walkthrough
- 1Surface for air, then dive and swim to a fan area.
- 2Lean on the "Use item" key until the wheel stops, then move into the fan area past the grating.
- 3Crouch to get past the grating and fan, then enter a tunnel leading to the other side of the dam.
- 4Stay in the tunnel above water until drown damage reverses, then swim forward to leave.
- 5Swim underwater to a closed gate, then climb the ladder on the right wall.
- 6Enter a large tunnel and proceed until section c2a5w loads.
- 7Exit the tunnel into a four-part outdoor area. Go forward from the pipe exit to find boxes for ammo and a ladder on the left.
- 8Climb the ladder and run along the ledge to the next ladder, which leads to higher ground.
- 9Hide past the top of the ladder, equip the gauss gun, quicksave, and hit the chopper with two fully powered altfire gauss blasts.
- 10Kill any remaining houndeye, then go through the gap between two large rocks to the left of an electrified fence.
- 11Enter an outdoor area with hidden marines. If alerted, back up and take them down as they advance.
- 12Alternative Marine Assault (Shotgun): Get out the shotgun, run along the left side of the area, passing a sign and two large boulders. Turn left past the second boulder, double-barrel the marine hiding there, then quickly run into the nearby dark tunnel. Stay on the right side and stop at a corner to shoot marines appearing at the entrance.
- 13Alternative Marine Assault (Crossbow - Sneaky): Turn right after entering the area, crouch-walk along the rocky wall towards the two huge rocks. When you can see a marine's legs and arm between the rocks, quicksave, zoom, and shoot him. If he runs, look left for him. If he sees you, quickrestore and crouch-strafe right after shooting. Sneak-shoot him again, quicksave. Crouch-walk along the outer wall until you can see the feet of the marine past the second huge rock. Look left for another marine in a dark corner past two short green plants and head-shot him. Crouch-walk to the second huge rock without being seen, quicksave. Slowly crouch-strafe right until you can see part of the marine's head, then head-shot him. Crouch-walk around to head-shot the final marine who is facing away. (Note: Due to clipping issues, you may need to sneak-shoot the first two marines with a pistol.)
- 14Search the tunnel for supplies, then grab the marines' weapons.
- 15Look right of the tunnel entrance for a crouch-only passage leading to health packs and AR grenades. Watch for a nearby tripmine.
- 16In the back of the marines' area, find a doorway to a small room. Grab crossbow ammo and use the valve wheel to open a storm drain hatch in another area.
- 17Return to the first outdoor area. Drop onto the lower cement ledge, then jump to the supply area skipped earlier.
- 18Run across the gap to land on the ladder, then climb back to higher ground.
- 19Go to the rock gap you used to reach the marines' area, then look left for another rocky passage to section c2a5x.
- 20In section c2a5x, avoid the tentacle beast (it cannot be killed) and collect ammo near it.
- 21Go around the perimeter killing headcrabs in the sand. (Note: The source text suggests an alternative start for c2a5x: gauss-altfire-blast the chopper again.)
