Episode V: Caverns Mission Objective: Taking matters into your own hands; you decide to venture deep into the Alien Caverns in an attempt to neutralize the Alien Queen. Ready your pistol and head down the length of the cavern tunnel. When you near the edge of a ledge, carefully look down and you'll see at least three guards milling around. Nail them with your pistol and then drop down to the lower level. Head through the opening on your left, taking out several more irate guards along the way. You'll emerge into a room with a winding staircase on your left and a passageway on your right, past the bank on monitors. Move through the passageway and follow it around until you finally emerge into a large chamber. You'll find a switch on a wall at the very end and to the right of this room. Press the switch to unlock a door elsewhere.
Retrace your steps to the last chamber you were at with the looming staircase. Climb the stairs to the top and head down the cavern tunnel. You'll eventually come to another ledge overlooking a chamber. Drop down to the lower level and flip the switch at the rear wall. This opens a door above you. Move through the passageway at your right and you'll once again return to the large staircase room. Again, climb the stairs and approach the ledge at the end of the cavern tunnel. This time, jump across to the ledge at your left and head through the opening at the far end. You'll approach yet one more ledge. Quickly turn to your right and nail the lone guard hiding in the shadows. From this vantage point you'll see an elevator below you. Start firing at it until you have destroyed the elevator, revealing a secret passageway. Drop down and fall through the opening in the ground. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
