Crush Depth
Objective: Operate the transporter devices and make your way through several tanks occupied by aquatic beasts.
Use the lift located just ahead of you to descend to the next floor. Upon exiting, you can search the rooms on the left, but you'll find a retinal scanner that you can't yet get past. Instead, proceed to the right and through the doors into the area labeled "Hydrofauna Studies Laboratory." Break the glass door by simply walking through it.
Press the button on the control panel to help the trapped scientist. |
In the next area, you'll see a trapped scientist on the right (through some glass and he's underwater), some pit drones on the left, and health and armor stations ahead. Deal with the pit drones, then heal any wounds with the stations. Approach the control panel where the pit drones were hanging out and press the button. The trapped scientist will be teleported into your room and will offer help. Lead him back to the retinal scanner to the left side of the elevator you entered from.
Go through the doorway and ask the scientist to follow. Kill the bullsquid hanging out in this hall. Pick up the packs of plutonium on the right side of the room. You can guide the scientist to the next retinal scanner if you wish, but an electrical discharge will kill the poor guy. Instead, return to the area where you found the bullsquid and approach the water tanks. The middle tank is broken, revealing a ladder. Hop inside and ascend.
At the top you'll find a dimly lit room with several pit drones scurrying around. Eliminate them with some explosives and hop to the upper level via the open crate. Approach the end of the room, and a hole will appear in the right wall and the ceiling, revealing more pit drones. Take them out, then follow this upper level to the end, where you'll spot an open vent shaft (you might need to use night vision to see here). Crawl to the grate at the end and bust it open with the wrench. Fall into the next area and turn to the right.
Enter the teleporter and hit the button to emerge in the water on the other side of the glass wall. |
Here you'll find another teleporter like the one you just used to free the scientist. Before hopping inside, walk past it and grab the plutonium ammunition. Enter the teleporter and press the button. Watch the cutscene, and moments later you'll emerge in the water behind the glass wall. Spot the vent shaft and swim inside. Break any grates you come to, and you'll eventually emerge inside another water-filled area. Inside you'll see a grate you can't break (and an aquatic beast behind it) and a ladder. Ascend the ladder.
