Mission Walk-throughs

Though you'll face dozens of wily robots during the 15 tough levels that compose Descent 3's single-player campaign, your biggest challenge could come from the tricky puzzles scattered throughout the maze-like structures. Unlike the previous games, which mostly featured simple "find the key and unlock the door" puzzles, Descent 3 includes more ingenious problems, such as deciphering a switch code or figuring out how to get past a blocked entrance. In this detailed walk-through, you'll discover all the steps needed to solve all 15 levels, including tips on how to survive against the plentiful bots and the dangerous boss droids.

Chapter 1 - Missing Persons

Objective: Infiltrate the PTMC crisis contingency management and public relations data retention center on the moon Deimos. Locate the data terminal on the lower level and retrieve information on the exact whereabouts of Dr. Sweitzer.

New Enemies: RAS-1 (gyro), RAS-2 (tubbs)

You begin this level by entering the retention center. Take either the right- or left-hand path and carefully sneak around the corner, where you'll find two gyros to fight. Near the gyros are a few concussion missiles. Head through either the right or left side passage to continue onward, then press forward through the steam room. You'll approach a narrow corridor with a door at the bottom and an open passageway at the top. Release your GuideBot near the opening, and it will take off and collect the extinguisher power-up. Open the door at the bottom by shooting it and carefully step in and retreat, as a gyro will be emerge and attempt to kill you.
