Find the Up in Smoke EGO Boost (+1 Ego) in Duke Nukem Forever during The Clarifier (Part Two) mission. Includes walkthrough and tips.
Walkthrough
- 1Traverse the initial hallway, picking up the Railgun and Pipe Bomb if desired.
- 2Defeat the Berserk Pigcop that bursts through the door.
- 3Collect weapons like the Ripper, RPG Launcher, and Pistol if needed.
- 4Proceed through the smashed door and defeat another Berserk Pigcop.
- 5Turn left for a Shotgun and two Laser Trip Mines, then right for a webbed corpse with a Ripper, Holoduke, and Pipe Bomb.
- 6Enter the blue door, which locks behind you.
- 7In the office, smoke a cigar and pick up a phone for PHONE MESSAGE 12/14.
- 8Break through the wooden crates to face 4 Pigcops (2 Pistol, 1 Shotgun, 1 Ripper).
- 9After defeating them, more enemies will spawn: 1 Ripper Pigcop, 1 RPG Super Pigcop, 1 Enforcer, and 1 Ripper Pig Cop on a balcony.
- 10Smash the crates blocking the scaffolding and push it up to the wall.
- 11Climb the scaffolding and defeat the Pigcop firing from above.
- 12Squeeze into the office below to find a phone for PHONE MESSAGE 13/14, a Beer, a Pistol, and a Shotgun.
- 13Descend the stairs.
- 14In the large open room, pick up a blue barrel and throw it into the container/scale.
- 15A crazed engineer on a scissor lift will burst through a wall, followed by a Pistol Pigcop, Ripper Pigcop, Shotgun Pigcop, and Super Pigcop. Deal with them using Pipe Bombs or by shooting.
- 16Retrieve two blue barrels and throw them into the container/scale. One is behind the lift's start point, and the other is on scaffolding to the left. A Shrink Ray is in the darkness near the first barrel.
- 17Enemies will bang on a door; you can set up Laser Trip Mines, but they might trigger prematurely.
- 18Once the door is broken down, a Berserk Pigcop, Super Pigcop, and Enforcer will enter. Consider running down the tunnel the lift came through (finding a Railgun and Trip Mines) or using the scissor lift to gain a vantage point.
- 19After defeating these enemies, grab a blue barrel from the second room they came from and throw it with the others.
- 20Two Assault Commanders will appear. Hide in the office and shoot from cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), or hide in the long tunnel. The Pistol is effective for headshots, and the Shrink Ray and Freeze Ray are also very effective.
- 21Descend to the lower floor and climb the scaffolding to leap onto the crane and off the other end.
- 22Jump onto the large pipe and over the railings (a Freeze Ray is located here).
- 23Proceed down the stairs to end the level.
