Walkthrough

    Start by grabbing the Flak Jacket. Follow the left corridor into a large cavern.
  2. 2
    Take the path going up to the right to find a Rocket Launcher.
  3. 3
    Use the elevator to the left of the grinder. Kill the Guards that appear when the ride stops.
  4. 4
    Look in the hole in the floor to find Adrenaline. You can drop down to it, then drop again to land on the grinder (taking massive damage), and then return to the elevator.
  5. 5
    Go down the corridor and kill the Gladiator.
  6. 6
    Head left and up the stairs, continuing through another corridor to emerge outside.

  8. 8
    Notice a large hole in the ground with stairs leading down to a corridor and a large fan blade. Do not go down there yet.
  9. 9
    Go down the tunnel on the right and continue to find some armor.
  10. 10
    Go up the tunnel on the right to find a Rocket Launcher between some pillars.
  11. 11
    Continue to a button on the floor. Stand on it and go up the stairs on the right.
  12. 12
    You will emerge into a large area with a path on the right and a large steel structure ahead. Go towards the structure and walk across the bridge.
  13. 13
    Enter the structure and press the button on the wall to complete your secondary objective (activate ventilation system).
  14. 14
    Go back across the bridge and head left. Kill the Gunners.
  15. 15
    Step on the button to make a bridge extend, cross it, and go right.
  16. 16
    Follow the corridor to the large hole in the ground. Go down the stairs and enter the tunnel on the right.
  17. 17
    Take the elevator ride down, then head through the door on the left to end the level.
Tips
  • The Rocket Launcher is effective against stronger Strogg. Aim carefully as it's easy to miss.
  • Be quick when fighting the Guards on the elevator as there are many of them.
