Dangerous Ducts

Look up to spot an opening with a broken grate in the E side of the cell, jump facing W to grab the edge and go through the ducts; time the first moving laser following it when it's going N, drop into the hole, duck and when the laser goes S take a standing jump and go left to the safe passage. At the end of the duct take an angled standing jump to grab the edge of the high opening to your right, pull up, turn around and take a standing jump to grab the next opening; in the next passage with the moving laser, slide down when the laser is about to go out, jump over the deadly hole, run and jump over the next one and drop into the deeper hole; advance E, safely drop down and run E, drop down and advance E: an enemy appears at the end of the corridor.

Getting a Weapon

For now, you don't have any weapons, so quickly run through the opening to your left, go around and to the corridor the enemy came from, up the steps, press the button, run up the next stairs, press the next button, go right, straight ahead to the corner, advance right and when you approach to the red lasers barrier you can hear that the door in this corridor opens; quickly go back and enter in a room with the Shotgun, shotgun shells and flares, shoot the flamethrowers and check the shelves to get 2 X shotgun ammo and a small medipack; also check the corpses of the flamethrowers to pick up a Key Card.

Shooting Killers

Exit this room, go right and left to find three killers to shoot, one of them will drop shotgun shells. Continue through the NE corridor, ignore the passage to your right and use the card to open the next door, advance, run down the ramps, shoot another killer, pick up his shotgun shells and in the next room shoot three more killers; pick up the uzi clips on the raised tile and go through the S passage. Locate a ladder to your right (note the closed door (1) in the corner) and climb it up, shoot two more killers, advance counterclockwise and press the first button you find to your right, enter and in the next room pick up 4 X uzi clips and the Uzis. Continue S down the ramp, press the button in the E niche to open the timed door in the W corridor and quickly go there timing the intermittent laser traps. Shoot three killers and go through the E corridor, press the button in the first niche you find to your right, enter and explore the room to find a large medipack and 2 X uzi clips. To get extra items you can go out of this room and go E to the next niche, press the button to get access to another room and check the shelves to get flares and uzi clips.

A Second Key Card

Anyway go back to the room where you found the large medipack, climb the central table and look up to see a hole in the ceiling with a broken grate, jump/climb/climb and find a corridor with another moving laser; this time the hole in the floor of the corridor is deadly, so time the laser to jump and grab the E edge of the deadly hole, wait for the laser goes W, pull up and run/drop through the hole at the end, slide/jump over the fire pit, run through the corridor and drop down at the end losing some health. Note the closed W door with some items behind (2), run up the steps and in the next room with the aliens shoot a bunch of enemies; one of them will drop the Key Card.

The Aliens Room

Go through the N passage where the enemies came from and use the card to open the door, advance and use the movable crate in the corner to reach the opening in the ceiling, climb, drop down and you are back in the room with the aliens but at the top of one of the containers. Jump to the S side of the room and jump over the railing, go around clockwise (note the wall switch but don't pull it yet), press the button to create a shortcut to previous areas and go back to the wall switch you saw moments ago.

Detour for a secret: pull the switch and jump back over the N railing to the bottom of the room with the aliens, run down the S steps, the next ones and the door you saw with the items (2) is now open, enter and get the SECRET #1: a large medipack, 2 X uzi clips and shotgun shells. Make your way to go back up to the upper part of the room with the aliens as you did before.

More Laser Traps

Go around again (don't touch the wall switch) and exit NW, back in the room with the ladder drop down to the bottom and locate the open door in the SW corner. Enter, climb down the ladder and run down the steps to find an opening protected by lasers; note that the lower laser is intermittent, so crawl and use the "sprint" key at the appropriate moment to cross to the other side. Pick up the shotgun shells and in the S corridor time the upper lasers and the moving laser so you can properly jump over them to safely cross. Shoot the killers in the next hub room, pick up the flares one of them drops and go to the S room to get 2 X uzi clips and a small medipack (check the shelves too); now move the crate to the hub room (you'll need to go around and pull it from the other side) and place it in the left side of the W opening to deactivate the lasers. In the dining room climb one of the tables to get the HK Gun and HK ammo: the N door opens; shoot the killer, check the shelves to get HK ammo and exit through the SW hole in the ceiling.

Room with the Rotating Lasers

Advance, drop down at the end but grabbing the edge below (fiery pit) and continue to find another moving laser trap; this time the hole in the floor is safe so it's easy to cross; advance climbing and finally fall in a corridor protected with lasers. So exit W and shoot a killer and a flamethrower, pick up the shotgun shells on the window sill and press the button to open the door. Advance, shoot another killer, go through the corridor he came from, climb down the ladder, shoot a couple of killers, pick up the uzi ammo on the crate, the HK ammo near the closed door and press the button to open it (the S passage is for later; you need a key). In this new room with the rotating lasers you need to go to the S and N niches to pull switches to open the door in the W niche; the lasers rotate very fast, so pay close attention and jump as many times as necessary; I did it clockwise so you see the laser comes. When you are success climb up the ladder and time the rotating lasers again going clockwise to reach the opening in the S wall.

Room with the Big Fan

The E corridor is a shortcut for later, so go W, down the ramp and in the next room shoot two killers, pick up the uzi ammo one of them drops and pull the switch in the S side of the block to open the SW door. In this nasty room the big fan causes a strong air current, so you have to be very skillful and patient and jump from ledge to ledge until you reach the opening in the SE corner of the room. Evenmore, when you are fighting with the air current on the ledge attached to the E wall, you’ll need to take a tricky running jump over the railing to land onto the safe ledge in the W side of the pit, so be patient and save often.

Fire Emitters – The Fuse

The task in the next room is also hard, you’ll need to walk on the “tight rope” (pipe) timing the fire emitters to reach the exit in the E side of the room. Fortunately you can save when walking on the pipe. This took me many tries. When you are success, run up the stairs, shoot the killer and enter the first room to your right to get the Fuse and shotgun shells in the shelves; exit, go right, press the button to open the door and go N, E, press the button to open a shortcut to previous areas and go through the E opening; climb down the ladder, go left when you see the entrance to the room with the rotating lasers and place the fuse to open the door to your left.

Final Fights

Climb up the ladder and advance to a room with a lot of ammo and medipacks, pull the wall switch in the SW corner to open the S doors and be prepared to face a tough fight with several bosses spitting blue deadly rays; once the calm is restored check the corpses to pick up two Fuses, place them in the receptacles in the N sides of the S blocks to open the E doors, advance, run up the ramp and in the next room pick up the Rocket Launcher, a lot of rockets and a large medipack; pull the switch in the corner to open the final doors and in the storage room use the rockets to shoot plenty of enemies; run up the stairs, shoot a lot of enemies, go right, shoot more enemies and finally go left, climb up the ladder and continue to the outside area with the chopper to finish the level.
