Chapter 9: The Military Supply Base

There's a golden scarab to the left, just as you exit the tunnel.

Save your game at the nearby save point, then walk down the road into the base. Go through the metal door at the end and kill the soldiers waiting for you inside. Continue through the tunnel. At the very end of the tunnel, look sharply to your left and you'll find a golden scarab. From just outside the tunnel you should be able to take out the turret of the APC with your strongbow, as well as the gunner on the right gun tower. Walk out a little farther and shoot down the gunner on the left tower, but look out for incoming RPGs. Once the gunners are down, the warehouse key should appear at the base of the left gun tower. You can continue killing the soldiers here, or just go inside the warehouse. Take note of the metal box full of explosive arrows next to the door--you can use these against the soldiers too.

Warehouse

Look directly to your left for a chest containing an Elixir of Spiritual Life. Make your way up the stairs near the chest. You'll find another chest with a bunch of essence. Walk across the catwalk to the back of the warehouse. As you do, helicopters armed with, as Dr. Evil would say, FREAKIN' LASER BEAMS, begin flying into the room. Keep running to the back of the warehouse along that catwalk, dodging the lasers, until you reach another set of stairs. Don't go up those stairs yet--walk around them and find the box full of APFSDS cores. Stand here and shoot down the helicopters, using the APFSDS cores. Replenish as necessary from the box. If you get shot off the platform, just run back up to it and continue shooting down helicopters until no more spawn in. If you're good at shooting from first person, that's probably the most efficient way to do it.

This button activates the second moving platform.

When no more helicopters come in, continue up the stairs to the third level catwalk. Flip the switch at the top of the stairs to open the lights and activate power. Run all the way to the back of the room on the third level, and press the button that will activate the first moving platform. Jump down to the ground level. There are two wooden crates between the rows of trains that you can smash open. One has an Elixir of the Devil Way, and the other has a valuable Life of the Gods. Don't miss these! On a concrete platform next to the last row of trains, near the shutter switch, you'll find another button, to activate the second moving platform. Now run back up the stairs to the platform next to the box of APFSDS cores.

There's a golden scarab on top of the control room.

From there, jump to the first moving platform. After it moves toward the center, jump onto the nearby traincar. Jump across the aisle to the next row of traincars, using Y to extend your jumping distance, if necessary. Before jumping to the next moving platform, look around. You should see another golden scarab on top of a traincar. Long jump over to it, grab it, then jump back to the middle traincar. Hop onto the second moving platform, and finally jump over to the large platform with the chest on it. Open the chest for a Great Spirit Elixir. Run across the catwalk and up the stairs, and find another chest with an Elixir of Spiritual Life. Run back across the catwalk toward the control room, but before opening the door, wall run up and pull yourself onto the roof of the control room. It's another golden scarab! Now hop down to the catwalk and enter the control room. Take the shutter control card key and the map of the military supply base. Fill up on APFSDS cores before leaving, then jump down to the ground level next to the large metal doors and use the card key on the machine with the red light on it.

Locomotive Turntable

There's an open gate to your left that you can run into immediately to save your game. The chest next to the save point has an Elixir of Spiritual Life. Kill all of the soldiers in this area to unlock the doors, then save your game again, as this is your last chance before a couple of boss fights. Exit this area to start the first boss fight.
