When It Rains It Pours

You've detected more actinium crystals in deep caves, so it's time to hunt them down. This level is basically an explore level, and as you explore more, the caves shift until a climbable passage is achieved up to the crystals.
  • Note the rocks movement occurring at the very beginning, for this is the passage you need to make climbable (each area marked with beacons will activate one of the 4 platforms, with the first one immediately activated)
  • Across from the rocks is a pod imbedded in rock, enter and read the terminal for important information
  • Exit the pod, and facing the pod door go to the stairs on the right
  • Passage leads to an intersection with a T-rex, stay to the left and follow the passage through the next pair of beacons (2nd platform is activated)
  • This path dead ends into a big arena, so back track to the intersection with the T-rex (may have to wait for ceiling platforms over stairway)
  • Go through the passage towards the left marked by a tall boulder, follow down to another future pod (ammo and a recharge)
  • Take the stairs to the right up (avoid T-rex), go back to the T-rex intersection, and go through the passage to the right (hug the right wall)
  • You are now on the perimeter ledge around the dead end arena from before, jump across opening to left and circle around clockwise until you reach an opening at the other end
  • Enter the crystal arena, continue towards back through the Grog corpses, take the path to the left, down the stairs, and through the 3rd set of beacons
  • When you get to the opening to a spiral staircase, go to the right up the stairs, hug the left wall until you reach a cliff opening
  • Jump off the cliff, avoid the T-rex, and follow these dark caves past the last set of beacons
  • Keep going through the unstable ceiling area until you arrive to another cliff (you'll also notice, if you turn around, that the passage behind you has closed off)
  • Below you is a major platform which will take you to the opening across the way where another future pod is, so jump on the platform (after you kill the female raptor which jumps up to greet you)
  • As the platform rises, rocks will begin to fall from all directions, so just try to avoid the rocks, and then jump into the opening where the pod is
  • Enter pod, read terminal, recharge, collect ammo and save, then exit pod and jump back on the platform (you'll probably have to wait until it comes back down again)
  • This time take the platform all the way to the top until you can jump through the small opening which leads back to the starting area (if you've hit all the triggers, you should be able to climb the passage; otherwise, it's back through the caves)
  • Climb the passage, enter the pod, read the terminal, then enter the sleep chamber to exit the level

Eye Candy / Extras

  • In the crystal arena, if you climb the small stairway there, you'll activate a platform which releases some Grogs (the Grogs are also released after you exit through the left passage), and you can then pass through the new passage on the right to activate the same earth nerve as going to the left (plus you get to see Grogs battling a T-rex)
  • In the lower caves where you pass through the final set of beacons, after you reach the cliff, turn back to the cave-in area and you'll find an alley platform that takes you down to a secret terminal, along with a hightech weapon and a stash of hightech ammo (watch out for the lava pool)
