Battle the zombies and headcrabs in the next area. Pick up the health power-up on the floor and spot the armor recharge station to the left. Continue into the corridor, and you'll end up at a valve wheel. Turn the wheel, which opens that unbreakable grate leading into the aquatic-beast zone. Time to go swimming again!
Leap back into the water and swim through the now-opened gate. Dodge the monster and locate another valve wheel at the far end. Turn the wheel, closing the door behind you and pressurizing the room. If you're low on oxygen, swim to the top of the lowering water and breathe the air. Head through the exit once it opens. The button ahead doesn't work, so turn left and follow the hall around to the right. Bolts of electricity block your path. Spot the electric box on the far wall. Destroy it with any projectile weapon. Once the beams die out, proceed and head through the doorway on the left.
Turn the valve to open the grate holding in the aquatic beast. |
When you enter the room, some pit drones and a shock trooper emerge. The pit drones aren't much trouble, but the shock trooper packs a punch. Use an explosive weapon to terminate the beast quickly. When it dies, approach the weapon it dropped (actually a living organism). It will automatically leap into your arms; you now have the shock roach. Grab the plutonium ammo from this room and continue on through the doorway.
The power box controlling these beams lies on the far wall. Destroy it with a projectile weapon. |
Locate the button on the right wall and press it. Enter the next corridor, pick up the plutonium ammo, and spot the teleporter bubble near the ceiling. Jump up inside. Spot the teleporter bubble just ahead of you and leap to the platform. Walk into the teleporter and return to Earth on the other side of that door you just left. Press the button behind you and enter the door that opens.
You can make the jump ahead, but it won't serve any purpose because the door is locked. Dive into the water and locate the hole in the glass. Swim out, then look straight up to spot the grate. Swim to the grate and open it with the wrench. Leap out onto the walkway to begin the next level.
