Your mission: re-establish communications! This Quake II walkthrough guides you through the Comm Center, detailing every step from finding the Blue Key to securing the comm link.

Alright, let's get this Comm Center revisited. Our main goal here is to get a communication link established with the command ship, and to do that, we first need to actually locate the Comm Center itself. There are also two secret areas to find if you're feeling thorough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by heading forward from the elevator. Look for a hole in the floor and drop through it. You'll land back in some water. Swim through the tunnel and surface.
  2. 2
    Find the door you skipped last time you were in this area and go through it. Clear out all the Strogg in this room, then head up the stairs and take care of any more you find.
  3. 3
    Before heading up the incline, go left. You'll find some Stimpacks. Grab them, then hop onto the nearby crate to pick up the Quad Damage. Be careful not to shoot the barrels; they're just there to help you get up.
  4. 4
    Now, head up the incline at the top of the stairs. This leads to a room with a hole in the floor. Whatever you do, do not jump in – it's an acid pit.
  5. 5
    Head into the corridor to the left of the pit. Follow it until you're outside. You'll see a locked door directly across from you; you'll need a Blue Key to open it.
  6. 6
    Go through the door on the left, then step into the elevator on the right. Ride it up and follow the corridor, taking out any Strogg you encounter.
  7. 7
    You'll reach a window on your right. Shoot it out and take down the Gunner on the other side. Enter that room and approach the computer console. Use the keyboard to complete your main mission objective. A Blue Key will appear next to the computer – grab it, and your secondary objective will update.
  8. 8
    Head back to the locked door. Keep an eye out for an Environment Suit sitting on top of some crates; jump onto the crates to get it. You *can* equip it and jump into the acid pit for Adrenaline, but honestly, it's a waste of the suit, so I'd skip it.
  9. 9
    Return to the locked door that requires the Blue Key and go through it. Your objective will update again.
  10. 10
    Enter the next room. You'll find some grenades in a small container. Crouch down to grab them, then step onto the elevator. Head through the door in front of you to exit the level.
Tips
  • Don't waste ammo shooting the barrels; they're just there to help you get onto the crate with the Quad Damage.
  • The acid pit in the room with the hole in the floor is lethal. Avoid it unless you've grabbed the Environment Suit and want the Adrenaline (which isn't really worth it).
  • The Gunner behind the window can be tricky. Try to shoot the window out quickly and take aim before it can react.
