Master Part 9 of Gears of War with our detailed walkthrough. Learn strategies for turret combat, finding collectibles like Cog Tag CT7, and overcoming tough Locust encounters.
Walkthrough
- 1Man the turret and eliminate all enemies. Use zoom by holding L. If enemies take cover behind windows, dismount the turret and engage them directly.
- 2After clearing the Emergence Hole enemies, return to the Troika. A Locust will kick open a door behind it; kill it (chainsaw opportunity).
- 3Proceed down the next hallway and kick open the door to advance to the next chapter.
- 4Knock Knock (A16): Proceed down the long hallway and kick open the door.
- 5To find Cog Tag CT7, head from the door towards the assumed toll booth, then slightly northwest to find a van with a red GoW symbol. Search around the van for the tags.
- 6From the van, head northeast towards the northernmost sandbags. When an enemy appears from the middle door, prioritize killing him before the one in the rightmost door appears.
- 7Run through the rightmost door.
- 8As you enter, head left and take cover behind a small wall. An Emergence Hole may appear; attempt to plug it or eliminate all enemies.
- 9Head north (to your left is the middle door; check it for any missed enemies, as they can be deadly if missed).
- 10Proceed north past the Emergence Hole and look left. Chainsaw or kill the enemy on the Troika.
- 11Hop over the sandbags in front of the Troika and watch the cutscene.
- 12After the cutscene, turn around and head down the steps. Take cover behind the sandbags.
- 13Engage and eliminate all moving enemies, using the chainsaw if they get too close. Keep heavy fire to prevent flanking.
- 14After killing everyone, a "Point-of-Interest" icon will appear, and a previously closed door will open. Take cover and eliminate the enemy.
- 15Once all enemies are dead, head outside, find a shotgun, and switch your non-Lancer for it. Pick up ammo from fallen enemies.
- 16Hammer (A17): Head back inside the building and to the left through a now-open door.
- 17Go up the stairs to the right. At the overhang where Cole is shooting, turn right.
- 18Take cover next to a locked door and shoot Locusts until Kim opens it.
- 19Head downstairs, out to the left, revive Cole if necessary, and kill any remaining enemies.
- 20Return to the hallway with the staircase and go left to reach an overhang on the opposite side.
- 21Go up the steps and to the left. Enter the next door.
- 22Go right into the hallway. Wretches will appear; use a shotgun or Lancer against them. A checkpoint will trigger.
Tips
- On the turret, if enemies hide behind windows, it's often easier to dismount and engage them directly.
- Prioritize killing the enemy from the middle door before the one from the rightmost door appears.
- Use cover effectively, especially the small wall upon entering the area after the rightmost door.
- Check the middle door for missed enemies, as they can be lethal if not dealt with.
- Chainsaw enemies on the Troika or in close combat for quick kills.
- In the final shootout, consider staying farther back for better positioning.
- The shotgun is very effective against Wretches.
