Crysis 2 Part 20 walkthrough: Learn how to defeat the Devastator, find Catalyst, and utilize tactical options.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Counter a Ceph or two on the ledge leading to the “Flank” option. Use the silenced DSG-1 to take them out from range. Grab the Catalyst.
  2. 2
    The objective and its guardian Devastator will be just below where your rock ledge ends. Use the visor to tag the Devastator below and any other Ceph visible.
  3. 3
    Locate the Ceph, using Nanovision if needed, and begin moving around the crater’s upper edge sniping and taking cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) to recharge.
  4. 4
    Eliminate the surviving aliens as they begin to filter up to the rim, allowing you to get their Catalyst. Swap to the X-43 Mike if they press you.
  5. 5
    It isn’t really necessary to kill the Devastator. You can interact with the spoke and move along, but that would forfeit the 500 Catalyst.
  6. 6
    Whenever you find yourself in a good position, toss a C4 charge down onto the Devastator and repeat the process. Grab its 500 Nano Catalyst.
  7. 7
    Sabotage the vein by interacting and then select “Resupply.” Grab the ammo and the JAW Launcher and select “Exit.”
  8. 8
    If you didn’t secure the area earlier be prepared for more Ceph to challenge your exit. There should be seven regular Ceph in this area.
  9. 9
    Start up the incline, chasing the “Exit” waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) past the bus and into the tunnels. Grab the DSG-1 if you haven’t got one.
  10. 10
    Continue forward toward the second vein. You have the high ground. New tactical options are available.
  11. 11
    Silently snipe the roving Ceph as it nears the broken cargo container below on the greenish walkway, stepping back to recharge after the shot.
  12. 12
    Kill the next to come along with the silenced DSG-1. Quickly jump down, grab the Catalyst and get into the container where you killed the first Ceph.
  13. 13
    If you haven’t been detected the five remaining Ceph may have to be coaxed out by locating one and firing on it, allowing you to pick them off as they begin to hunt. Use the container as cover and to recharge, leaving under cloak to gather Catalyst.
  14. 14
    Once the seven are down, select “Resupply.” Move out of the container and make an armored jump down to the right of the container.
  15. 15
    There are ammo crates, weapons and a JAW Rocket Launcher there. If the X-43 Mike is running low on ammo, swap it for the Marshall, but if you have even a hundred rounds it will suffice.
  16. 16
    From the ammo crates move just past the overhead tube and while cloaked vault to the rock ledge and from there to the cargo container.
  17. 17
    Look toward the waypoint and locate the Devastator. Jump across to the ledge and approach the raised area with the spoke and the Devastator.
  18. 18
    Toss a block of C4 onto it, back off and arm and detonate. Take cover and repeat until it goes down. Favor using the C4 rather than the JAW on this Devastator, or replenish the one you do use with the one at “Resupply.” Try to carry the max into the next battle.
  19. 19
    Grab the Devastator’s 500 Catalyst. Vault to the ledge with the spoke and interact with the vein.
  20. 20
    Select “Ascend” and jump to the ledge behind the destroyed vein and stay along the left rock face to pass under the high arching tentacle.
  21. 21
    After the rock crumbles away, carefully move across the tentacle along the vertical wall and curl around toward the last vein and stop just past the ammo/grenade crates.
  22. 22
    Two Ceph, one of them an Advanced Assault Unit, will appear together. Use the un-silenced DSG-1 to target the red barrel when the Advanced Unit is near it-it won’t kill it but it will weaken it enough so that a couple of DSG-1 rounds will finish it off.
  23. 23
    Employ the X-43 Mike if it gets close enough. If you have more rockets or C4 than you’ll require for the lone remaining Devastator-you can use a rocket or block of C4 on the Advanced Unit instead-you’ll be losing your current weaponry after this chapter anyway.
  24. 24
    Kill the other common Ceph and continue forward to grab the Catalyst-300 for the Advanced-and then jump down.
  25. 25
    Jump down the next three levels of broken pavement and get atop the cargo container near the ammo crates.
  26. 26
    Four Ceph will slowly emerge ahead. Locate them as they appear and kill the common Ceph with the DSG-1.
  27. 27
    Hammer the Advanced one if you spot it or use a block of C4 or a JAW rocket if you have enough. Take all of the remaining Ceph down, advance and tactical options are available.
  28. 28
    The battle will grab the attention of the Devastator loitering near the spoke, but killing it is actually optional-you can just interact with the vein.
  29. 29
    This Devastator is unusually aggressive and will quickly desert its post to pursue you. You can just give ground as it does and hit it with a JAW rocket from a distance and retreat, jumping atop one of the ledges to hit it with the JAW or with C4.
  30. 30
    After a couple of JAW hits you can even finish it with a pair of grenades if you’re out of heavy weapons. The DSG-1 will also easily finish it and you can stay at a safe distance to address it.
  31. 31
    You can even use its wandering to slip past it while cloaked.
  32. 32
    Make your way to the vein to interact. You will receive a new waypoint, the alien control structure. It’s right there in the chasm to the northeast, its spire dominating the western sky.
  33. 33
    Enter it. Hargreaves is assured of the compatibility with his creation-the Nanosuit-when the alien artifact recognize.

Tactical Options:

  • Snipe: The elevated entry area is the place to employ the DSG-1 against the Ceph in the basin.
  • Flank: This option allows you to skirt the right perimeter to get near the vein.
  • Neutralize: This option shows the position of the Devastator guarding the vein.
  • Resupply: There is ammo and JAW rockets in the deep ravine.
  • Ascend: Escape the area after sabotaging the vein.
  • Avoid: Avoid a re-start by not getting swallowed by the whirlpool.
  • Flank: Skirt the whirlpool to approach the vein and its guardian Devastator.
Tips
  • Use the visor to tag enemies.
  • Use Nanovision if needed to locate Ceph.
  • Take cover to recharge your suit.

  • Use C4 charges on the Devastator.

  • Be prepared for more Ceph upon exiting if the area was not secured earlier.
  • Grab the DSG-1 if you don’t have one.
  • Utilize the high ground for tactical advantage.
  • Use the silenced DSG-1 for sniping.
  • Use containers for cover and to recharge.
  • Leave under cloak to gather Catalyst.
  • Swap the X-43 Mike for the Marshall if ammo is low, but a hundred rounds of X-43 Mike may suffice.
