Episode II: Colony (cont.) A message instructs you here to activate the five switches. As you move around the room activating the switches, pick up the medkit and pulse rifle near one of the walls. After the switches have been activated, an intercom message will play, notifying you that while the Main Gate has been activated, you'll need a Bypass Kit to unlock the door. An Engineer on Level 2, inside the Medlab, carried the Bypass Kit. Move out of the control room and follow the corridor until you reach a staircase moving down. A smartgun rests at the top of the staircase, to the right. Grab it for additional ammo. Descend the stairs and enter Level 2. Move inside and follow the corridor turning left, left again, right, and finally right into the Medlab doors. Once inside the first Medlab room, head straight to pick up the Flame thrower, a great weapon against Alien Facehuggers, which you'll meet shortly. Turn left at the flame thrower to enter another area of the Medlab. A final door rests ahead of you; avoid the gaping hole that lies in front. Enter this final area of the Medlab and prepare the flame thrower. When you spot an Alien Facehugger, unleash some napalm on the speedy and dangerous, creature. One spurt of the flame thrower will be enough to roast the Facehugger. Once they're on fire, they're no longer a threat. Four tables are in the center of the room. The Bypass Unit rests on the first table on the right. On a table in the back of the room sits another pulse rifle and a stash of armor. Head back to that hole in front of the door. Jump down to enter an office area, one unfortunately, crowded with Aliens and Facehuggers. Get that flame thrower or smartgun ready and eliminate the Aliens before they get too close. Keep an eye on the floor for Facehuggers as well. Exit the office and take a left at the Level 1 sign. Follow the corridor until you reach a four-way intersection (one you've already been to). Turn right to head back outside.
Now you must head for the Main Gate. Head straight out from your location and turn left at the "Bar" sign. Move through this alley and take a right and then another right. Move forward just a tad and the Main Gate will be on your left. Approach the gate and it will automatically open. The open gate alerts the Aliens to your escape - they'll begin appearing from all corners of the map. Keep an eye on your rear while you charge through the gate. A few Aliens will also approach from the front; use your smartgun in Track Mode so you can tell when they're coming. Follow the winding valley path until you reach the APC parked ahead. Approach the APC to end the level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
