ACT 1: ASHES
Pound it Out
Go to the little structure for ammo and Frags.
Get COG #7 by going to the big crack in the road and following it up to the
wall behind the white van.
Go forward to the big sandbag and kill the Drone to the right side, but make
sure you are out of range of the Troika. A Grenadier will burst from the closed
door to the very right. Grenadiers carry Gnashers (shotguns) and can toss Frags
at you; they also tend to rush your position. Take him out and then go into
the building through his door. Get out a Frag and go through the rubble in the
building until you hear a hole open somewhere. It is in a tiny room to the
right of the very center of the building (behind the middle door) and you need
to lob a Frag inside; you should get a conformation sign from someone telling
you that you hit it. Then mop up and collect the Frags and ammo in that room.
Fall into the group.
Man the Troika and get ready for a couple of waves of enemies. You don't have
a crosshair, so "zoom" in a bit, fire, and follow the trail of bullets to your
enemies. You should be able to tell if you hit. Be sure not to hit your own
guys. No sniper. When all is over, follow your team into the door on the right
and fight the Grenadier and Drones. You can pick up the Gnasher, but I don't
like it so I won't tell you to. Go through the door when it opens.
Follow the pack to the fallen soldier. From above, take out the two Drones in
the doorway across the way on the ground. Pick up the ammo to the left of the
ledge and go down there to kill one Drone. After the scene, pick up the full-
ammo crate and Frags if needed then follow your new teammate.
In the big hall, go to the left and look behind some tomb-like thing for COG
#8.
Go to the door and look back to where the COG tag was and be ready to meet the
Wretches. Wretches are fast and small, but they only have a little bit of life.
Watch the ceilings and you will be fine. Save the ammo til the end. Take out
a whole bunch from the first side and then focus all your fire behind you when
you hear they are coming. Melee if needed. After, pick up the full-ammo crate
and go through the door.
Swap the Hammerburst for the Hammer of Dawn near the corpse. This part is
important to cheating the game. Go to the window that is closest to the door
and near the corpse. Get right next to the wall and look out the window to get
just a peek at the Seeder's legs. Aim the Hammer on the legs and hold down on
the Right Trigger until the beam of energy stops. Then do it one more time to
kill the beast. Now come outside and focus fire on the enemies across the
drawbridge. You can't plug up the hole, but try your best to kill the guys with
the Hammer to save ammo. Go across and follow the path.
When you get into the other side of the big hall where you met the Wretches,
inch your way into the doorway just enough to get a read on the Seeder in the
open. Don't go out the doorway or you will come under attack. It may be hard,
but keep the laser sight steady as you eventually get two blasts off; best to
do when he is standing still, then aim for his nose area. Then go out and
go to the left and ready yourself for a bunch of Wretches and a Drone. After
you and your squad handle them, go through the doorway.
