Aftermath - Tenuous Footing

Use the Cranes to Cross the Chasm

Hop into the sinkhole, grab the ammo along the ledge, then hop into the crane downhill. Controlling the crane is easy, as the left stick is all you'll need. Use the crane to pick up Dom by lowering the platform and moving it left. Once he's aboard, carry him as far right as it'll go, then lower him into the ground. Now it's your turn to cross--take cover by the crane and wait for Dom to work his magic. Once the tower drops, forming a bridge, run over to the other side.

Make it to the Bottom of the Sinkhole

After crossing over to Dom, take cover by the railing to blast the enemies below. Once clear, head down the ramp and take cover by the low wall to blast a few more enemies that appear. When you finally drop to the lower level, get ready to tackle a Mauler Boomer that appears from the far side, though you should have more than enough time to kill him before he can get close. Soon after, a Reaver will drop in--it's best to tackle him from the cover point up the ramp, since he can't reach you here.

Continue down a ramp, but prepare for a couple of tickers, a flamethrower, and another enemy as you work your way up the path around the corner. Prepare for a couple more tickers as you pass through the house. Now take cover by the railing to shoot the enemies on the nearby building before crossing over. Once you do, seek cover behind the first low wall and prepare to tackle the enemies climbing up to your location. After taking down enough, the roof you're on will collapse, dropping you closer to the bottom of the sinkhole.

After dropping, seek out the nearby ammo, then prepare to kill an incoming flamthrower--stay away from the windows to protect yourself. But after killing him, feel free to use the windows for cover as you open fire on the remaining enemies outside. Once clear, jump through the window and dash down a staircase and use the railing for cover to target the enemies below.

Once clear, head on down and use your chainsaw to rip through the two cables holding the tower. This will cause it to drop, creating a bridge to where you need to go. But as you try and cross, it'll collapse, conveniently bringing you close to your objective.

Find a Way Into the Cavern

After dropping, run down the ramp and quickly seek cover behind the low wall on the left to tackle the enemies beyond. Afterward, head into the building ahead and prepare to ride it down the hillside to a checkpoint.

Escape the Burning Building

Head through the burning building and hop aboard the elevator at the end.

Kill the Brumak Pilot

After exiting the lift, you'll come face to face with a Brumak. Dart down the hall and hop through the window--you'll spot the Brumak's driver running about as you reach the next window--kill him.
