Your mission in Quake II's Pumping Station One: infiltrate and destroy the Strogg main reactor. Activate pumping station one and find secret areas along the way. Let's go!

Alright, let's get this done. Your main goal here in Pumping Station One is to hit the Strogg main reactor hard and destroy it. But before we do that, we've got a secondary objective: activate pumping station one. Keep an eye out, too – there's at least one secret area to find!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by heading down one of the corridors. Clear out the Strogg in the first room you come to. Then, head up the stairs on the right side of the room. More Strogg are waiting up there, so take them out. After that, step onto the platform – it's going to take you up. The game's definitely ramping up the difficulty, so be ready.
  2. 2
    Once you're up, go up the incline on the left. Look for some crates to your right, just above them. See that wall? Shoot it out – there's a secret area in there! Once you're inside, jump through the opening to land in some water.
  3. 3
    Follow the pipe you find. It'll lead you to an elevator. Step on it and ride it up. On a ledge up here, you'll find an Adrenaline. Grab it, then drop into the pipe directly below where you found it.
  4. 4
    Swim through this pipe, and you'll pop out outside. Climb out of the water using the rocks. Look for a door next to the BFG – head through that.
  5. 5
    Follow the dark corridor ahead. You'll come to another door. Go through it, and then head right. You'll find some Stimpacks and a Combat Suit. Grab them!
  6. 6
    Now, drop into the room below. You'll be back near where you blew that hole in the wall earlier. Go down the passage that's to the right of that hole. You'll see the exit leading to Pumping Station Two.
  7. 7
    Before you leave, though, make sure to pull the lever on the right wall. This activates pump number one. Once that's done, head through the door to enter the next area, Pumping Station Two.
Tips
  • The game is getting tougher, so make sure you're always picking up health and armor. Don't be afraid to backtrack a little if you're low on supplies.
  • That secret area with the Adrenaline is a good boost, so definitely hunt it down.
  • The BFG is a powerful weapon, but ammo is scarce. Save it for tough encounters.

Secret Areas: 1/3 found.
