- 3Enter the tunnels and follow the path. You'll find a map, a TV save point, a campfire, and a note.
- 4Crouch and move west, fighting spiders. At a split, head northwest, defeat tentacle men and a hazmat enemy, then loot containers west of a locked door.

- 8Turn off the switch to make the electrified zone safe. Head southwest, defeating a hazmat enemy and a tentacle man to loot two boxes.
- 9Return to the previous path split and head west. Defeat a large enemy and reach a broken mine cart. Use the Minecart Brake Lever and Fuel to activate it.
- 10Use the activated mine cart to reach a door with a green light. Go through to find a Workbench, a TV save point, and containers.
