|
| 2. The door ahead falls away and the corridor is rearranged. Find ammo on the left before advancing right. |
|
| 3. Jen's position and yours are shown once again. Note the health spore to the left. Ascend the stairs behind the display. |
|
| 4. Before we get to this gunslingin' there's a puzzle to do first. Listen to Mother some more (she sounds like a smoker). One of these portals will take you to Jen. |
|
| 5. After some more taunting from Mother, she removes all of the portals and illuminates this new one. Spirit Walk across the bridge. |
|
| 6. Head right to find this console. Use it to rearrange the catwalk segments. |
|
| 7. Return to your body and walk to the indicated panel. |
|
| 8. Spirit Walk back to the console and use it to move the panel to the level above. (You can see my body far/left.) |
|
| 9. Leech some plasma then step onto the illuminated panel to the right. |
|
| 10. Spirit Walk to this new console, and use it to move the panel supporting your body (seen left). |
|
| 11. Next, stand on the indicated walkway panel. |
|
| 12. Spirit Walk to the same portal once again, and use it to move your body to the final level. |
|
| 13. Advance, and Mother snatches the portal away. |
|
| 14. After a brief moment she restores the portal in a different position. Step through. |
|
| 15. Find ammo on the right then see your updated position on the display -- you're much closer to Jen, (and the big firefights) now. Continue through the door on the left. |
|
| 16. Step through another portal then battle this harvester. |
|
| 17. Two more harvesters and a turret are ahead. This Leech Gun station on the right has a new kind of ammo, sunbeam. |
|
| 18. Sunbeam ammo fires a continuous beam that is not as potent as lightning, but drains more slowly. Still, fire in short bursts so as not to waste any. |
|
| 19. Ready your Leech Gun then head through this door to begin the first of this level's three big gun fights. |
|
| 20. Start right to finish off this harvester. |
|
| 21. Turn left and let loose on the spawning hunters. Note the sunbeam station on the left. |
|
| 22. Your first target in the next area should be the ceiling turret. |
|
| 23. Here I am being killed by the turret as I focused on a harvester in an earlier run-through. |
|
| 24. Once the area is clear, use this console to open a doorway in the adjoining room. |
|
| 25. Here's the now-open doorway. |
|
| 26. Step onto the walkway then drop some crawlers in right side-up "proximity" mode onto the right side of the walkway below. Three hunters spawn as you advance and trigger the mines. |
|
| 27. Follow the walkway to this health station and two ammo lockers. |
|
| 28. More ammo is found here. Ready your Leech Gun. |
|
| 29. Time for smackdown #2. First up is this harvester emerging from his orifice on the right wall. |
|
| 30. Two flying harvesters join in for some fun. Talon does a great job distracting them so you can take pot shots with the sunbeam. |
|
| 31. Uh oh. After the harvesters are finished, these two mutates attack. |
|
| 32. Hopefully you'll have enough sunbeam ammo to take them. Otherwise, the Auto Cannon does a decent job. The important thing is to keep your distance and don't let them maul you. Melee is their specialty. |
|
| 33. Gratuitous screenshot. Say, "cheese!" |
|
| 34. After the mutates are dispatched, Mother opens this portal for you. Grab any remaining health and ammo before jumping through. |
|
| 35. Find Jen in this strange pod at the far end of the room. |
|
| 36. Jen says she can't feel her legs -- never a good sign. Especially now. |
|
| 37. The pod opens, and your next boss battle begins - against your own girlfriend! |
|
| 38. Wikipedia calls this boss Girlfriend-X, but I think Jen-X is a better name. |
|
| 39. What you need to do is whittle the beast's health bar down far enough for its Leech Gun arms to detach. They then become vulnerable healing nodes. |
|
| 40. Open fire on these nodes, as they are the key to defeating Jen-X. |
|
| 41. Once both Leech Gun arms are destroyed, Jen-X can no longer heal. Pummel her with your weapon of choice -- after the Auto Cannon is depleted, my favorite is the Acid Gun (especially secondary fire). Keeping your distance is essential. |
|
| 42. Once the creature is destroyed, Jen has one final request. |
|
| 43. I think the rifle is your most humane option. |
|
| 44. At your request, Enisi calls you away and the next level loads. |
