Gears of War (PC) - Act III: Coalition Cargo/Darkest... - game guide, walkthrough, secrets, game tips & strategies

Driving the cart doesn’t exactly require special skills. Look out for the Wretches, but for the most part, you don’t even need to lean out. After you get out of the cart head forward. Open the door and try to do the same with the next door you’ll find. Don’t get discouraged when it stays closed and press the button again. You’ll ambush two Wretches – kill them without much thought.

In the long hallway, you’ll fight Black Wretches. Shoot them with everything you’ve got. Soon, you’ll enter the core room and two Boomers will hop onto the platforms and ride to meet you. Shoot them after taking cover behind the barriers. Get onto the platform.

Go forward and right and you’ll find 22.Tag. Stock up on ammo and go down. You’ll fight two groups of Wretches, finish them off shooting from the hip. Well, agility isn’t exactly attributed to marines in full armor. However, thanks to an invisible banana peel, you’ll slide right down. Kill the incoming Drones and get 23.Tag from under the staircase. You’ll find some ammo in the room. While making your way down, you’ll meet a sniper, aim immediately – you can finish him off before he takes his position. You’ll see a Boomer on the other side of the room – take cover behind one of the stone pillars and kill it with a bullet to the head. To go further (or down to be exact) you’ll need to kill all enemies. When you get to the fork pick the right way, although there’s not much of a difference here - you’ll need to fight some Wretches and a sniper hiding in the back anyway. You’ll reach a narrow hallway – grenades and some bullets will remedy the problem of its inhabitants. When the Corpser appears, look for 24.Tag on the outcropping on the right.

Corpser

Definitely the best looking monster of Gears of War…but unbelievably weak. You can finish him off in 20 seconds. Here’s the easiest method to do that. Ready a loaded shotgun - any other weapon will do, but shotgun doesn’t need to be reloaded as often. Approach the Corpser. When it raises its legs, shoot the belly until the monster recoils back and opens its mouth, another weak spot you can shoot. Rinse and repeat till The Corpser backs off onto a platform. Now all you need to do is to destroy both of the platform supports and the Corpser is no longer a problem.

Now it’s time to get the rest of the Locusts. Go straight ahead and eventually you’ll reach some buildings. You’ll run into Theron Guards, a new type of enemies. If you have a sniper gun – shoot the enemies from a distance, if not – just finish them off skirting around the buildings. After you’re done, press the button…
