About the Author
This is my first game walkthrough, so suggestions and constructive criticism are
very welcome. I will also accept tips other players have noticed, alternative boss
strategies, etc. Please include in your subject line EF: II Tips.
2. Weapons:     1) Phaser - Standard issue sidearm. Has unlimited ammo
but takes time to recharge. Primary fire is low
damage whereas secondary fire can disintegrate
enemies.
2) Compression Rifle - The basic phaser rifle. Has primary
and secondary firing mode. Primary is a
fast, damaging shot of middling damage.
Secondary is a pulse grenade which flies
straight until it hits its target,
disintegrating it and/or causing heavy
damage to surrounding hostiles.
3) Enhanced Compression Rifle - Enhanced by Chell the Bolian,
this phaser rifle fires faster
and is extremely accurate even
at long range. Used primarily
to snipe at enemies from a distance
before acquiring the sniper rifle.
The secondary attack is an
extremely damaging energy grenade
but it arcs unlike the pulse
grenade mounted on its cousin the
standard compression rifle, so the
user must aim higher or lower to
compensate. Becomes available after
returning to the Alpha Quadrant.
4) Assault Rifle - Developed in the Alpha Quadrant during Voyager's
exploration of the Delta Quadrant. The assault
rifle has become the weapon of choice of many
a security team due to its usefulness in tight
situations. Primary fire shoots a spread of
plasma pellets. Secondary fire is an energy
based attack which is extremely damaging
to enemies. The assault rifle is best used in
close quarters firefights. The secondary fire
continues in its path until it impacts with a
surface or object or enemy. Secondary fire has
splash damage so a shot near an opponent is as
likely to damage as a direct hit. Becomes
available after returning to the Alpha Quadrant.
5) Attrexian Arc Launcher - An Attrexian welding tool. Very useful
against Exomorphs. Primary attack is
similar damage to the compression rifle.
Can also be used to ignite the gas
grenade launched by secondary fire. Try
to avoid getting too close to the
target enveloped in the gas because the
user can also be hurt by the backfire.
The best strategy with this weapon is
to fire a gas grenade and then back up
drawing the enemy towards you. Detonate
with primary fire and see them explode.
One or two of these grenades when
ignited is sufficient to eliminate most
Exomorphs you will face. Acquired
during the level on the Attrexian
Station.
6) Staff - A mysterious staff found in the Drull Ruins. Primary
fire is a damaging globe of blue energy. One shot will
eliminate the smallest Exomorphs. Three are required for
the next biggest Exomorphs. The Basher Exomorphs require
six shots to destroy. Trying to use this on any of the
bigger Exomorphs is not recommended. Secondary fire
sends out a shockwave which freezes enemies within
its radius allowing the user to walk up to the paralyzed
enemy and strike them with the primary fire. Acquired by
the Hazard Team on a mission to the Drull Ruins.
7) I-Mod - Infinity Modulator developed by Seven of Nine to combat
Borg drones in the Delta Quadrant. Primary fire has
damage equivalent to that of the standard compression
rifle. Secondary fire is twice as damaging although
requires twice as much energy. Benefits of secondary
fire when compared with other Starfleet weapons are that
it does not cause splash damage, is not explosive based.
You must directly hit your target for your shots to be
effective.
8) Sniper Rifle - One shot, one kill, unless you miss of course.
Powered by plasma energy, a single shot is
sufficient to disintegrate an opponent. Primary
fire shoots, and secondary fire zooms. Very
useful for taking out enemies from great
distances when the enhanced compression rifle is
not accurate enough.
9) Grenade Launcher - Starfleet issue Grenade Launcher. Originally
developed in the Delta Quadrant by Weapons
Master Oviedo. Primary fire launches a
heavily damaging grenade. Secondary fire
detonates any undetonated grenades. Aim must
be compensated for due to the arcing nature
of the projectile. The user can be injured by
this weapon if not careful in its use or aim.
10) Quantum Torpedo Burst - Starfleet issue quantum burst. Issued
during times of war, it can only be
released for use by the Captain.
Originally considered to be unfeasible
due to the immense power necessary to
launch a mini photon torpedo, it was
modified by Weapons Master Oviedo for
use on the battlefield. The quantum
burst once utilized mini photon
torpedoes but due to advancements in
microengineering, the quantum burst has
been loaded with mini quantum torpedoes,
extremely damaging projectiles capable
of vaporizing enemies it hits dead on
and causing immense splash damage to
others nearby. Secondary fire activates
a laser guiding system which allows the
guiding of the projectiles to an
intended target. Very useful against
flying enemies or big stationary
targets. The user can be injured by
this weapon if not careful in its use
or aim.
11) Tetryon Disruptor - Used by the Klingon Lurok, the tetryon
disruptor is a rapid-firing machine of
destruction. Capable of firing several
shots per second, it can riddle an enemy
with tetryons before the enemy has even
realized he has been targeted. Primary fire
unleashes the full destructive capabilities
of this deadly weapon. Secondary fire
creates a highly damaging globe of energy
capable of rebounding off several objects
before striking its target. The secondary
fire can hurt the user if it bounces off a
surface and reflects back.
12) Romulan Disruptor - The Romulan standard issue sidearm. Primary
fire is a fast-moving projectile of
middling damage, comparable to that of the
I-Mod and Compression Rifle. Secondary fire
is a charged shot capable of disintegrating
an enemy. The secondary fire has splash
damage so a direct hit is not necessary.
13) Romulan X-Rad - A.k.a. Experimental Radiation Disruptor.
Possibly the most dangerous weapon ever
developed by Romulan researchers. Primary fire
is a cloud of radiation which envelops the
target and melts it away. Secondary fire is a
pure ball of plasma energy capable of defeating
the most powerful Exomorphs in existence. Only
accessible the last mission.
14) Tricorder - Starfleet issue tricorder. Capable of interacting
with the computer systems of a multitude of
cultures. Used to reroute power, modulate panels,
adjust the amplitude, frequency, and phase shift
of signals. Has alternate viewing modes which
include Structural Integrity, Bio-Scan, and
Trace Gas.
15) Enhanced Tricorder - Starfleet issue tricorder. Capable of
interacting with the computer systems of a
multitude of cultures. Used to reroute
power, modulate panels, adjust the
amplitude, frequency, and phase shift of
signals. Has alternate viewing modes which
include Structural Integrity, Bio-Scan,
and Trace Gas.
16) Bat'l'eth - Available only on two levels: Starfleet Academy 2,
and Klingon Base Level 1. Primary can be used to
block enemy knife attacks. Secondary is a powerful
downward strike. A Klingon blade weapon, it has an
extremely sharp edge.
Notes: Routing power is quite easy. All you have to do is avoid all the short
circuit areas. Before you link up the final segment connecting one power
generator to the other side, make sure you removed all the short circuits or
have bypassed them completely. Likewise, the modulating with the wave
patterns is quite easy. The puzzle consists of three phases. First you must
match the amplitude, then the frequency, and then finally the offset or its
phase differential. After all three match up with the target, you're done.
This walkthrough was completed on normal difficulty.
3.1 Mission 1: End Game
3.1.1 Borg Sphere Level 1a
From the start, peek out just a little bit and blast the power coupling.
Switch to the I-Mod and start blasting away. Turn left, and pass through
the doorway once blocked by the green force field. Or turn right for a view
of an upcoming battle. Head down the lift cautiously with your trigger
mouse button ready. Head off the lift pass into the next room towards the
left. Pull out your tricorder and modulate the force field control panel.
Proceed into the next room and blast the plasma conduit to open up a
crawlspace. Continue along until you reach a room with pipes along both
sides. Drop down and head towards the left. Eventually you will reach an
open room with a power coupling. Blast it, opening up another green force
field. Continue along the straightforward path onwards to exit the area.
3.1.2 Borg Sphere Level 1b
Admire the cutscene, but get ready to dodge once the cutscene begins. Don't
bother with the I-Mod. Ditch it for the remainder of the level in favor of
either your trusty phaser or compression rifle. Where to now? Blast the
visible plasma conduit to open another crawlspace. Take out the
distribution node as well as the power coupling and head back out. Turn
left after exiting the tunnel and enter the now accessible hallway.
Continue forward, trying desperately not to get in any fights with Borg
until you reach the energy and health stations. Fill 'er up!!! Now proceed
to the shield control node and modulate with the tricorder. Enter the next
room.
Once the cutscene ends, rush to shoot the plasma conduit, duck into the
crawlspace and shoot the power coupling. Get your ass moving out of the
crawlspace and towards the right. Enter the room only bothering to shoot
the Borg using the control panel. Walk past the twitching Borg and use the
operating table as cover. Turn around and blast twice more with the rifle
and then either switch to the phaser or compression rifle secondary fire to
blast them. Don't forget the Borg to your left. Now turn left from the
entrance to the room in which Chang was held and jump from pipe to pipe to
get to the other side. Tricorder time again, modulate and then blast the
coupling within. The Borg will get all riled up. Your compression rifle (or
your phaser) if you used it primarily since last time, will now longer be
effective. Switch to the other remaining weapon and shoot, shoot, shoot.
Note: If you used the phaser, try and use primary/secondary fire because if
the Borg have adapted to one they will not have adapted to the other
frequency. Head back up the lift and go straight forward and onto the lift
on the right.
3.1.3 Borg Sphere Level 1c
Continue along the only path available to you and pass through a door. Once
you can see Telsia, pause and save. The moment you approach her, a force
field will activate. Turn left and head straight past the Borg that beams
in. Turn right and you'll see a plasma conduit you must blast in order to
help Telsia. Crouch and strafe inside the crawlspace until you reach a
power coupling and vaporize it. Alternatively you could also keep going
ahead to the room that Telsia is in and blast either the power coupling
there or the distribution node. Problem solved! Head out to see the
cutscene. After the cutscene, follow the blip on your radar. Once you reach
the main hallway, there should be a drone right in front of the
intersection, get ready to shoot some Borg to your right. Take the lift up
and shoot the Borg right in front of you. When the hallway starts to widen,
run forward and turn right just after you enter the room with the Borg
alcoves. Blast the power coupling and continue forward. Again, shoot the
singular Borg that activates. After you pass through a door and there's a
T-intersection. Rush through the right path only pausing to aim and fire at
the distribution node and/or the power coupling adjacent. Health is on your
side of the room while ammo is on the other side. Continue forward. If
you've restrained yourself from firing wildly at the marauding Borg, your
phaser should still be unadapted. Go on to the main lift.
3.1.4 Borg Sphere Level 2a
Once you reach your destination, go forward and to the left, eliminating
the Borg as they activate and beam in. Eventually you will reach a door
protected by a force field which you can deactivate. Enter and turn
immediately towards the right. Three Borg will beam in, one behind you, two
in front. Aim right between the two Borg in front and shoot the plasma
conduit directly behind them. It will have a orange tint to it. As it
explodes it will take out a distribution node as well as a power coupling,
knocking out the Borg near you. Now your I-Mod will work again. You can
keep using your phaser for a while to conserve ammo if you like or just
switch over immediately. Head out the exit, I-Modding the three Borg who
will beam in and go past the door, killing three more in this room, and
four more as you approach the exit to the right. Grab the health if you
need in the next room. You may now either choose to exit from the left side
of the main room you were just in or from the right side. I personally
prefer the right side because the path is more straightforward whereas the
left route requires backtracking.
3.1.5 Borg Sphere Level 2c
Blast the plasma conduit from the start and duck into the crawlspace. After
a while, you will see a pipe which goes down and a grate covering the drop.
Shoot the grate and drop down. Eliminate the single Borg drone as well as
the power coupling. Proceed outside until the lift comes down with your
teammates on it. Get on and ride down. Head out the door. Be sure to shoot
the power coupling as you pass by. This will lower a force field to one of
the dampening field generators. As you proceed, watch on the left for a
distrubution node and take it out as the Borg activate. Continue ahead
until you can just see the room whose force field you just toasted. Pull
out your I-Mod and blast the two Borg that materialize. You can take cover
behind the pipes to the left but you don't really need to. Just strafe and
fire. Or if you're an ammo conservator, let your teammates do the shooting.
Go into the room with the generator and modulate the amplitude, frequency,
and offset as necessary. It seems that its random every time. Head out
towards the right, defending yourself with extreme prejudice and cross the
bridge. Watch for two Borg who appear when you've crossed half-way. There's
health in the room right before the bridge. Pass through a set of doors to
end the level.
3.1.6 Borg Sphere Level 2b
Proceed cautiously and blast the power coupling. Exit the room towards the
dark hallway to your right. Kill the two Borg when they approach and
continue onwards to the second generator. After modulating this strafe to
the right as you pull out your I-Mod. Two Borg have appeared behind you in
the hallway. Eliminate them and proceed back to the main room you entered
at the beginning of the level. Four more Borg will appear. Destroy them and
proceed to the door that was covered by a force field straight ahead.
You'll enter a huge area with a column in the middle. Go around it to the
door on the other side. Open it to face three to four Borg. Your teammates
can take care of them. To the left in that room is an energy terminal which
you can use to refill your ammo. Proceed to the right. Continue to the end
of the hallway ignoring the green force field for now. Just before you hit
the blue force field at the end of the hallway shoot the power coupling and
backtrack to the other end of the hallway where the third and final
generator resides. You know the drill by now, modulate it with the
tricorder. And prepare yourself for a relatively easy boss battle.
3.1.7 Borg Boss Level
This battle will come in three stages. The first stage, the huge advanced
Borg drone will try and shoot you. He has three attacks. One where he
shoots three projectiles, another where he charges up and fires a globe of
energy at you, and the last one is a beam which you can jump over. I've
never been hit by the globe but I'm guessing it does medium damage whereas
the smaller projectiles do lesser amounts of damage. Eventually you'll
damage him to the point where he'll start teleporting about on the level
above you. He's relatively easy to track. The third stage is after he loses
his arm. He will them teleport to directly behind you and try to body slam
you. Just keep jumping forward every time he teleports, turn around and
give him a blast of your secondary fire I-Mod. In relatively little time,
he'll go down without much difficulty. For an easier time, just run to each
of the yellow force fielded towers and modulate with the Tricorder. Shoot
the distribution nodes and he'll be inactive for a while. Take every
chance to blast him with the I-Mod. This battle's almost over before it
even began.
3.2 Mission 2: Reassignment
3.2.1 Starfleet Academy 1
Pretty easy actually. Heh, no more firing for a while. Just listen to the
conversation and take the Turbolift up the main lobby. Go in and have a
talk with Tuvok. Head over to the Headmaster's office. You can tell where
it is by the arrow on your radar. Head out the doors in front of the main
desk and head towards the left. Take the turbolift down and receive your
orders. Head back up and follow the arrow to talk with Telsia.
Conversation Choices:
1) "I won't let you throw away your career for me." - Telsia
leaves thinking your career means more to you than your
relationship.
2) "It won't work. We both need Starfleet or we'll go stir-crazy."
- A nice hug between "friends." Choose this if you want to
further your relationship with Telsia later.
3) "Look Telsia, we've had some fun, but now it's over." - Pretty
self explanatory, eh?
3.2.2 Starfleet Academy 2
Turns out to be a holodeck training program. Pretty straightforward. I'd
recommend using the standard compression rifle the whole way through. When
Korban tells you to cover him as he opens the door, just duck behind the
barrels on the right or left hand side and snipe away at the Romulans who
have no cover. Crawl into the ducts while avoiding the flames. Eventually
you'll find the one exit. There's three Romulans waiting around the corner
to be prepared. After you open the door for Korban by routing power with
your Tricorder, more Romulans will beam in. They have don't have any heavy
weapons so don't worry. Just blast away. Eventually they'll stop beaming in.
Proceed up the stairs in front with your Enhanced Compression Rifle out.
The moment the elevator starts coming up, get ready to fire one grenade
into the middle of the bunch. Simplest firefight in the history of
Starfleet. Take the elevator down. Two Romulans are awaiting their doom.
After you proceed into the next room you'll pick up a Klingon Bat'l'eth.
Just take cover behind the columns as the Romulans
beam in and secondary fire them to pieces.
3.2.3 Enterprise-E
Follow your objectives. The armory is on the same deck you're on but the
other objectives are on other decks. In the armory you get to test out the
assault rifle, Star Trek's answer to the shotgun. In Sickbay, right across
from the Armory you can fill up on health but its not really necessary. Go
to the Hazard Team deck and visit the briefing room first. In the back,
near the huge viewing screen is your office. Inside is the code to Juliet
Jurot's locker (746) which contains an I-Mod. This gun, although there are
no more Borg in the game, is quite useful in a later level. To pick it up,
just use it.
3.3 Mission 3: Derelict
3.3.1 Dallas Level 1a
Get ready to shoot again!!! No, no so soon. In about ten minutes though.
Gee, all those floating bodies creep me out. Anyway, the panel you gotta
activate is behind some fallen debris. Again, it'll show up on your radar.
If its still too hard, its directly opposite where you start out the
mission by the hole. You can just see the red glow from the panel's lights
around the fallen debris. Exit through the door and pass by the exit on the
right from the Shuttle Bay, you can't use it yet. Go straight ahead and
dive into the Jeffries Tube by activating the manual release. You'll have
to do this several times as the access panels are blown to bits. Follow the
straightforward path until you reach a yawning gap between you and the
other side. Luckily power and gravity are out!!! Just jump up and across
to the other side. Into the Jeffries Tube, to the right path, and down the
ladder. Tricorder time!!! Hit the panel and route power. After you're done,
head back up and out the Jeffries Tube. However, don't try and jump across
again. Remember? Gravity is on now, so just drop down lightly on top of the
Turbolift and take the ladder back up to a green-lit Jeffries Tube. Get in,
take a left at the first intersection, and then a right at the second. Take
the ladder down and drop. At the bottom turn around and face the large door
that you couldn't open earlier from the other side. There's a panel to the
left of it that says "Shuttle Bay Door Manual Override." Again, take out
the tricorder. After your team enters, turn around and face the other door.
3.3.2 Dallas Level 1b
Exit the Turbolift, turn left and continue straight ahead. Enter the first
door that you can on the left which is the Lounge. After the threat has
passed, blow away the door which has structural weaknesses and proceed.
After a little bit you'll reach two doors. One in front and one to the
right. Take the right door marked "Service" and enter. Go all the way down
the ladder and enter the Jeffries Tube. Your exit will be the green door
after you see a glimpse of one of your enemies. The directions are right,
left, and right again. Take the ladder all the way up to the hatch up above.
Enter the lounge and exit through the other door. When you reach the point
where power in the corridor starts to fail, turn on night vision and
proceed towards your team with your gun out. An enemy will drop from above
and in front and three more will attack from behind in the hallway you pass
on your right. Afterwards, enter Engineering and head towards the big
console in the middle with your tricorder. There is no pressure, so take
your time routing the connectors. There will need to be a separate path to
each generator from its counterpart. Exit the way you came in and take the
hallway on the left from which the monsters attacked. Approach the
Turbolift and find you have to restore power. Enter the service door nearby
and go down the ladder. The panel you have to reroute power with is behind
you at the bottom of the ladder. Go back up the ladder, out the door, and
turn into the Turbolift to end the level.
3.3.3 Dallas Level 2
Exit the Turbolift and see Franklin join the Red-Shirted Ensigns from TOS
in Heaven as the First Ones to DIE. Three more monsters attack. One drops
from where Franklin was abducted and another two from the currently
locked door. Pass through the door that the monsters broke open and enter
the room on your right for ammo. Continue ahead. Eventually you'll come to
a door on your right and a hole in the wall a little bit further on in
front of a blue force field. Crawl into the room and exit between the force
fields through another hole. Deactivate the force field to let your
teammates follow. Two monsters will soon attack. Further beyond the attack
heading in the same direction is a lounge and a door which leads you to the
transporter room which is mysteriously blocked with a force field.
Backtrack to the door by the blue force fields. Enter but be ready for two
more aliens who attack you from the left and the right. If you continue
along either corridor, two more aliens will attack and an additional odd
one will drop from above. Tread cautiously. Orienting oneself with the
panel with a diagram of the Dallas, there are two service doors to the left
and the right. If you enter and descend the ladder. Take the open Jeffries
Tube and crawl straight with no turns. No matter which service door you use
you will end up in one of the two ready rooms. From there, blast the door
leading to the bridge and enter. After the cutscene, exit the bridge and
retrace your steps to the transporter. Soon after you activate the
transporter, you'll have to book it to get back to rescue Chell in the
bridge. Directions to bridge from transporter room: Exit, turn right at
next intersection and pass through the door. Continue straight until the
crew quarter's door busts down. Enter and exit through the door on the
other side of the room. Another left takes you all the way to the bridge.
You don't have to kill all the aliens. Just clear a path and run into the
bridge.
3.3.4 Enterprise-E
Get to the Shuttle Bay by taking the transporter. Before you talk to Chell,
memorize the location of this panel inside the Shuttle: Enter the rear
hatch, enter the left doorway, into the passageway, exit onto the piloting
station. The panel along the left side of the ship. Once you start to talk
to Chell a plasma leak will begin. Rush into the ship and modulate the
plasma flow so as not to blow up the shuttle. It will be a wave puzzle.
3.4 Mission 4: Demise
3.4.1 Attrexian Station Level 1a
From the start after being dropped off, run either towards the locked door
on the right and blast it or jump on top of the crates near the wall.
Take cover and eliminate the monsters with your assault rifle or enhanced
compression rifle. Eventually they will stop attacking and you can heal
yourself and recharge your ammo in the room I mentioned above. You can also
use your tricorder to modulate the control panel within to stop the flames
on the area above. Climb up to that level using the crates and jump over
the intervening gaps. When you reach the other side, pull out your enhanced
compression rifle and prepare for some long-distance sniping. Cross the
gantry and use the door panel to open the door. Proceed until you see a
mine cart like thing in the middle of the path. Run around the corner and
eliminate the three monsters harassing the Attrexian. Enter the other door
in the room after filling up on ammo/health  at the station to the left of
the room as you enter. As you enter the hallway in the above mentioned
door and pass through another door, more monsters appear outside the room
and begin attacking the Attrexian. Help him kill them and return to the
room. Reroute power to the mine cart and when you are ready hit the panel
in front of the    cart by the ammo/health stations. A wall will break down
and then a bigger alien will appear. Kill him with three secondary fire
assault rifle shots, and walk through the door the mine cart busted down,
and left into the hallway there. Another alien awaits you at the end of the
hallway through    the door. I know of no way to take zero damage from this
guy so if you get injured just return to the health station by the mine
cart. Continue forward. Take the ladder up and recharge on ammo. Procee
through the door and blast the sucker who drops down from the ceiling. In
the next room are five aliens. Eliminate them before turning to the
Attrexians hiding behind the boxes to your left. Note: If you have depleted
health or ammo I suggest filling up before walking towards the Attrexians
and talking to them. After this there is no chance to backtrack to fill up.
After the save, Avak'Stas will hurry towards the door panel. As he begins
to fiddle with it, four of the smaller aliens will bust through the wall
to the left. Kill them with a few blasts of the old assault rifle. If
you're lucky all four of them will rush you and almost completely ignore
him. As you proceed into the next room, walk cautiously. The station will
open to space and Avak'Stas will tell you to run to the panel inside the
room to your right and close off the station. Wait a moment for the nearer
aliens to get sucked out. But watch the Air Supply meter and make sure you
don't wait too long. After you shut it off, there are a few more annoying
aliens to wipe the floor with. Proceed with an itchy trigger finger. When
you reach the armory and Avak'Stas begins to fiddle with this panel, jump
up on the crates to the right of the door. If you stay up here, the aliens
won't attack Avak'Stas and you have plenty of time to gun them all down.
Enter the armory and pick up the arc launcher. You'll be using the
secondary fire a lot. Get ready, shoot a gas grenade with it and ignite it
with your primary fire. This is a very very useful weapon with which to
dispatch the bigger aliens. You'll have to watch Avak'Stas. He will rush
the bigger aliens while you're taking out the smaller ones and he'll be
killed. So...take out the bigger aliens, and then worry about the little
guys. If you're lucky you can get both the bigger ones with one gas charge.
They will be another group of aliens along the path you took to get to the
armory as well as one of the big aliens right in front of the door that'll
take you back to Avak'Stas' buddy Veng'Pah. After the cutscene, go ahead
past the Attrexians through the door, turn left, and board the lift that's
through the big set of doors you must open with the panel nearby.
3.4.2 Attrexian Station Level 1b
From the lift head forward and kill the big alien hounding the Attrexian as
well as the aliens that burst through the door at the end of the hallway.
This will essentially eliminate all your ammo for the arc launcher but this
is an Attrexian space station so you will get more ammo eventually. Switch
to your assault rifle. Head past where the Attrexian was killed and turn
right at the intersection to see another couple of Attrexians get mauled.
Avenge them and continue. A door will blow up to your left and three small
guys will run out. Kill 'em each with a blast. Past them is a door on the
left. Enter. You can either go right to help the Attrexians or go forward
a bit and kill the five aliens just inside the door. Two big, and two small.
Before leaving the room, help the Attrexians. There's a launch pod you must
eject, but they certainly take their time prepping it to be ejected.
Anyway, when the lift comes down in the same room, hop up and hit the
switch to eliminate the big guy. Don't forget to ride back down before
proceeding to get the goodies the Attrexians offer you. Ammo for your
federation weapons as well as the arc launcher you got last level.
For more ammo, go out the door on the lower level and collect the canisters
by the dead Attrexian. Go back up the elevator and head out the door on the
upper section. Follow the path and go up the ladder and out the door, but
not before filling up on health and ammo. Out the door are three aliens,
one big, two small. As the two small ones rush you, you can take both out
with a single secondary fire shot. After that, the big guy is toast with a
few more shots. Head towards the left where three more aliens attack.
Beyond them is a room with, surprise! more ammo for the Arc Launcher. Head
out the only door and come out to the command center. When you descend and
the cutscene begins, several monsters will attack. Immediately run in front
of the Attrexian command crew and defend them. Aliens will approach from
left, right, and front where the door is. They are mostly composed of the
small guys, mixed with one or two of the bigger aliens. After a while, it
just gets too easy, when your teammates finally show up and the aliens
slowly clamber down the stairwell to meet your assault rifle blasts or arc
launcher gas. Transition to cutscene.
3.4.3 Attrexian Station Level 2b
After another cutscene where you meet someone who can help you, head
through the only door that is open to the left. Kill the intruding aliens
who obediently wait for you to blast them into oblivion. To free Vor'Chov,
head up the stairs, and up the ladder. At the gap, turn left and walk along
the pipe. Turn and face the door and jump onto the railing and over the
railing to the door. Inside is a panel, along with ammo for the arc
launcher. Reroute power using the panel, bypassing the short circuits and
come back out. The door is now open. Head in and after the cutscene refill
ammo for your federation weapons using the ammo station. Head down the
elevator and be ready for the aliens who appear. After the first elevator
is a second elevator which you will take down to the control room. If
you're a little low on health or ammo, don't hesitate to get back onto the
elevator and hit the switch to ride up one level. Inside the room above is
ammo for the arc launcher, a health station, and an ammo station. Head back
down and protect Vor'Chov. Don't worry much about losing health or armor,
the battle is relatively short and there is no need to fill up on
everything.
3.4.4 Enterprise-E
After beaming aboard, head out towards the right and enter Sickbay. If you
prefer, after the cutscene, you may refill your armor at the medical
station. The library is on a whole other deck, so make a beeline for a
turbolift. Telsia's on the library deck.
Conversation Choices:
1) "I wouldn't mind having you help me do some research on the
Attrexians." - Spend time with Telsia.
2) "Yeah, that's about it." - Rejection of the 24th Century.
Enter the library and use the library terminal. After reading or skimming
the material, leave the library and find a turbolift. You're going to the
Hazard Team Briefing Room, which is to the left when you exit the hallway
with the turbolift.
3.5 Mission 5: Discovery
3.5.1 Drull Ruins Level 1a
Follow the arrow to meet the Idryll that you've heard about. Go into the
yawning cave after the cutscene and head onwards until the level ends.
3.5.2 Drull Ruins Level 1b
Walk ahead and try the control panel to the main door. When that doesn't
work, notice the spidery cracks emanating from the left wall. Structural
weakness anyone? Blast it and go through. Jump onto the ledge and from
there up along the steps cut into the wall. Proceed ahead and catch a
glimpse of your enemies for this level. Drop a small height to the ledge
that's flush with the left side. Eventually you can't go anywhere but down,
the easiest way to do this with little or no loss of health is to creep
onto the mantle-like structure and drop onto successively lower cuts in the
wall. Eventually you'll reach the lowest portion of the courtyard. A pillar
will fall. Jump onto the flat platform on the right and from there onto a
fallen pillar. Proceed through the large hallway on the left side of the
pillar. Remember where the large staircase is, you'll have to return there
later. From the archway, head forward and refill your ammunition and health.
Keep going on until you see another large area with strange structures in
the ground. As you approach them, they will spawn spiders. You can use your
secondary fire to detonate multiple ones with a single shot. Head straight
ahead and dive in. Inside is ammo for your arc launcher as well as a panel
which will restore power to the ruins. Head back out the way you came. When
you reach the room with the structures in the ground, tread cautiously. At
the top of the stairs, four spiders are awaiting you, three blue and one
green. Target the blue ones first because they are explosive and can kill
others nearby if you time it right. Another pillar will fall breaking down
the wall. Go through and approach the main door. As you approach, you will
be beset by four insects, a blue spider and three larger creatures. After
you defeat them, help your teammates with two of the larger creatures past
the door. Now proceed up the huge staircase. Hit the panel midway up to
clear the obstruction. At the very top of the staircase are several more
creatures. If you're fast enough you can take out the explosive containers
right by them and eliminate at least two if not three of the four spiders.
Note the health and energy stations. The energy station is ammo for your
arc launcher by the way. Head up the new set of stairs and confront another
large creature. Do what Chell suggests, use the structural integrity scan,
and jump from column to column to reach the other side. If you miss and hit
one of the structurally weak tiles, you'll be dropped into a swarm of
spiders, so be warned. Turn right and enter the hallway, killing the alien,
and hit the switch allowing your teammates to bypass the tiles. Pass under
a few more archways to come across an open area with more of the insect
structures on the wall. Two of the aliens will appear out of the ground.
Blast them. Escort Chell to the panel so he can unlock the door. As he
attempts to do this, several spiders will drop from above and to the right,
down the edifice with the window-like structures. You can shoot them as
they fall or stand back and take them out surgically. Once their attack has
ceased, continue through the door ready with your secondary fire to blast
the swarm of spiders. Turn left and head out the door into open air. Hit
the bridge control panel and run acros when the force fields materialize.
This is a relatively easy puzzle as long as your aren't too slow or too
fast. You'll want to stay on the panel in the front. Head through the door
with your arc launcher ready and a grenade surprise for the uglies down the
stairs. Even after you kill the larger creature, it will spawn at least
three more spiders so be ready. In the same room are health and a
federation ammunition station. Head down the stairs with your arc launcher.
Aim to the left as you head down and eliminate the only bug. You can see
the next two bugs on your radar to the right. A precisely aimed gas grenade
can kill both of them. If you take splash damage there is a health station
in the room you just left. Activate the panel to let your team across and
shoot the alien that comes out the door. Exit through the door it left open
and take the stairs down. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, fire a
gas grenade at the corner of the wall that you can see when you turn left
off the stairs and detonate as the spideys attack. Approach the door to
spawn two more spiders which your teammates can handle and ready yourself.
When you hit the panel for the door, a huge, I mean huuuuge bug emerges.
This is the mother bug. It has several quite damaging attacks. The first is
the orange acid comparable to the ones spit by the big aliens that attacked
the Dallas and the Attrexian station. Its next is a spread gas attack which
you can realize you've been hit with if your screen is filled green and
your health steadily decreases. Both attacks can be evaded. If you see a
huge green ball heading for you just dodge it and/or more forward. Likewise
for the acid spray. If you jump right before it hits you, it will bounce
below you harmlessly. Use your secondary fire and primary fire arc launcher
to fry it as your teammates chip away at it with their weapons. Two more of
the spawning creatures will appear and when you kill them their spider
progeny will rush out and try to kamikaze you. Kill them and fire at the
queen mama's mouth. Eventually she will fall and you can heal your wounds
and refill your ammo in the area. If the arc launcher ammo station doesn't
fill you up there is more ammo to the right of the big door, 150 units
worth. Proceed through the door, board the lift, and hit the panel to end
the level.
3.5.3 Drull Ruins Level 2a
After you've gone down the lift, and exited, a computer voice will activate
telling you that defense systems have activated. Rotating turrets will
appear on the four main pillars of the room. After they are destroyed, a
door will open in the room. Head through it. In this room, there are five
symbols vertically arranged. Shoot them to open up another door in the
main hall. Enter this room and walk onto each of the five symbols. You will
receive a very very nice weapon which is almost more effective than the arc
launcher, the Idryllian staff. Go back to the first door you opened and
walk through the hall. Get your tricorder ready, trace gas mode. Seal the
vents by dragging your phaser fire down the entire length of the vent.
You can tell a vent has been sealed if after you're done there's a blue
explosion from the vent. There are four vents you must seal. Once you have
sealed all of them you can return to the main hall and heal yourself at the
health station. When you are ready to proceed, return to this room and exit
through the arch on the other side of the entrance. Continue straight
forward and the level will soon end.
3.5.4 Drull Ruins Level 2b
After the level finishes loading continue on. After the cutscene, pull out
the tricorder, bioscan mode, and use this to evade the beams and deactivate
the security system on the other side. This separates you from your team.
As you enter the open area, two aliens will attack from the right. Destroy
them and head forward. As you approach the cylinders that are being loaded
onto a circular carriage, a turret will open fire above you. Destroy it
with a blast of your phaser. Next, jump on top of one of the horizontal
cylinders and ride the line until you can jump to the other side. Walk
through the door and shoot the turret as it activates. Jump on top of one
of the cylinders and jump towards the pipe. Drop down onto the cylinder
otherwise you'll take damage. Walk towards the control panel and activate it.
This will activate elevators that continually go up and down to your right
in the gap. A turret will activate. Destroy it and continue onwards by
jumping from one elevator to the other to get onto the upper walkway level
with the door on the other side of the conveyor belt. Jump on one of the
pipes and hop the railing. Continue into the next room. Hit the panel and
jump onto the carriage as it approaches. You now have two options. The first
option involves dropping down to the tube following it all the way to the end.
From here, drop down to the right and get onto the catwalk underneath the
tube and climb up the ladder. The second option requires you to ride the
carriage to its destination where you can easily jump onto a catwalk below
the tube and take the ladder up. Exiting the ladder, you will soon come
across a laser trap which you can see with the bio-scan mode of your
tricorder. Jump over these traps and continue until you hit a forcefield.
Shoot the hatch in front of the force field at your feet and climb down.
This is where the two paths meet and you can start from here if you took
the shortcut straight to the second catwalk, the first option. Head up the
ladder and through the door. After another door, a turret will appear from
directly in front of you on the ceiling. Take it out and head forward.
There will be another gas room in this tube. If you head straight forward,
the force field will activate in front and behind you. Head straight to the
panel on the left and modulate it with your tricorder. This raises the gas
vents so you can fuse them with your phaser. When you're done, a bridge
will open up to your right, opposite the panel you had to modulate.
Cross the bridge by jumping and hit the panel. As soon as you cross, two
turrets will activate and start firing at you. Take them out as soon as
possible. After you hit the panel, turn around and cross the bridge again.
This would be a good time to try out the staff on the two aliens charging
you. After crossing, turn right where two more aliens are approaching.
Remove them from existence and exit through the door to end the level.
You end up back in that main hall from Drull Ruins 2a, where your teammates
are handling themselves. After they're done, you may heal yourself and
replenish your ammo by the terminals adjacent to the door from which the
aliens were attacking. Pass through the door, up the stairs, and through
the door. Continue to finish the level.
3.5.5 Drull Ruins Level 2c
Enter the room with your phaser out. More turrets will appear. Destroy them
until Chell says he needs cover fire to get to a console to turn off the
turrets. Continue to cover him until he deactivates the defense system and
unlocks the door on the upper level. Enter. Take the lift down to where
Krindo is. Take out the three aliens who attack as well as the two turrets.
