Puzzle Tips

This can be a bad level if you take too long. Feel free to explore, but just don't enjoy the landscape for too long! O2 is in short supply here, and you'll have to rely on hidden CPS caches for more. Keep an eye out as you explore for flashing lights. They mark the caches, as well as hidden underground complexes. Just use your action key to either side of the light to find the door. Other than that, just follow directions.

One last difficulty will be the automatic defenses once you've reached the reactor. You'll be able to cut the outer defenses before entering the reactor complex, but not the inner ones. It will take good timing to get past them to the reactor. I suggest saving first (turn right at the bottom of the stairs once you enter the complex)! After that, in the room that's straight ahead at the bottom of the stairs, run in, open the door on the other side of the room, backpedal (QUICKLY!) until the door opens (and the fusion bolts impact in front of you, then run forward. Yeah, I know, it's nasty, but at least I gave you a save term right before this!

Combat Tips

Not much here, and what there is isn't too challenging. You'll do fine.
