Learn how to clear out Strogg Marines and defense turrets in Quake IV, and meet up with Rhodes. Get tips for this objective!

Alright, you've got a clear objective: sweep this area and take out any hostiles. You'll start by walking through a room and into a small hallway. As soon as you step into the hallway, an alarm's gonna blare – looks like the Strogg know you're coming!

Before you push forward, grab the two CLIPS right in front of the locked door. Get your Machinegun and flashlight ready. Once Mahler gives you the signal, it's time to charge into the next room. You might think it's empty at first, but don't let your guard down.

A few seconds later, Strogg Marines will start showing up, and you'll also have to deal with four defense Turrets – two on each side of the hallway. Your first priority should be destroying those turrets. They don't have a ton of health, but they can definitely chip away at yours if you ignore them. Once they're down, focus on the Strogg Marines.

Here's a solid strategy: hang back at the far end of the hallway and pick them off as they come at you. You'll need to take out about a half-dozen Strogg Marines and all four turrets to complete this part. It's way easier if your squadmates, Li and Hayes, are still with you at this point. After you've cleared the area, you'll get orders to head back to the elevator.
