Hive - No Turning Back

Protect Cable Cars from Reavers

As you ride the cable car across the chasm, you're going to have to shoot down several Reavers. Take cover behind the left railing (assuming the front is the direction the cable car's going) and shoot them down as they fly into view—it's not too hard. Soon after, a second cable car will approach along the left; kill the enemies on board from your cover point.

Stay by the railing of the cablecar and shoot the inbound Reavers.

Board the Other Cable Car Before Yours Falls

When the second car aligns itself with yours, quickly hop aboard before yours falls away, then activate the switch in the corner to get it started. Now take cover along the right side and shoot down a couple more Reavers that attack.

Find a Way into the Queen's Palace

After disembarking from the Cable Car, head through the large doorway and look for some ammo behind the stairwell before climbing it. At the top, look for a Locust Calendar on a podium to the left. Continue down a staircase and head left to find some ammo and grenades. Take cover behind this railing and shoot the enemies across the way. Once done, head over there and look for some ammo just behind the barriers, then continue along the path to find a switch. Flip it to be given the choice of two paths: Stairwell or Life with Troika Turret.

-Stairwell

Climb down the stairs and take cover at the first barricade at the base to shoot the enemies beyond. Once clear, continue on and head right to find the first of two Lift Control switches. Activate it, then prepare for a couple tickers to come at you from the stairs, which you should then descend. Take cover at the base and shoot any remaining enemies below, then head toward the lift and turn right to find the second Lift Control switch. Once activated, continue down another staircase and take cover at the base again to shoot the few enemies below. Once clear, the nearby doors will open, allowing you to regroup with your squad.

Continue down the staircase and into the next room, where another battle awaits. Head down the stairs on the left and take cover behind the railing—the boomers below will have a hard time targeting you here. Once you've cleared the room, activate the nearby switch then cross the bridge on the other side of the room. There, you'll find a room containing ammo, the Locust Defense Plans, as well as another switch. Activate it to cause a stairwell to emerge right by the bridge—take it down to watch a cutscene.

After the cinema, immediately take cover behind the barrier by the stairs and kill the two grinders beyond. Once they're down, get ready for an enemy to pop out of a door along the left wall. After killing him, head on through and down the stairs. Take cover by the railing overlooking a battle below and kill them from here. Head on down to tackle the last remaining foes in the next room, then continue through the door into the next room.

As you enter the next area, a lift will rise bringing several enemies with it. Dash back to the previous room and take cover by the doorway and shoot the enemies through it. Once clear, you'll automatically board the lift in a cutscene.
