Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Disable shield system: Equip the Poison Tip function on your Combat Knife. Exit the starting area and kill the first monster with the knife. Take the Mauler from the monster. Proceed down the hallway and kill the next monster with the Mauler. Enter the next room and shoot the three shield generators to destroy them.
  2. 2
    Open hangar doors: Return to the red elevator and go down. After exiting, you will meet Elvis, who gives you an AR43 Assault Rifle. Continue down the hall, killing any monsters with your Mauler. Dash across the area to the other ramp, go down it, and follow the tunnel to an elevator. Exit the elevator, go left, kill the monster, and take the next ramp down. Activate the control panel on the left at the bottom to open the hangar doors.
  3. 3
    Access navigational system: Return up the elevator to where you met Elvis. Take a lift up with Elvis. Follow Elvis through the odd-shaped door and kill the two monsters. In the four-way fork, go through the door on the left. In the next room, go through the odd-shaped door on the right. Kill the monster inside, then go through the door at the end of the hallway. Walk down the hallway, take a right about halfway, and go through the door. Kill any monsters in this room. Wait for Elvis to help access the navigational systems.
  4. 4
    Sabotage engine systems: After Elvis says "Time to head upwards", leave the room the way you came and go right through the door at the end. Kill the monster in the hallway and follow the twisting hallways to a ramp going up on your right. Go past this ramp and through the blue door on your right. Go through either of the two doors in the next room to enter the engine room. Kill the monsters. Shoot the two gold things on the outside of the giant engine until they blow up. Exit the engine room and return to the ramp that goes up.
  5. 5
    Gain control of bridge: Go up the ramp until you reach the top and encounter a monster. Kill it. Go through the next two doors on your left. Kill the two monsters inside. Go up the catwalk and through the door at the top. Take the next elevator up. After exiting, take the next elevator up. Kill the three monsters quickly upon exiting the elevator. Elvis will arrive and climb the ramp. Protect Elvis while he takes over the bridge by standing near the doors you entered from and shooting any enemies that appear.
