Guiding Fires Prey Guide (2006)

Last update: 11 May 2016

After leaving the first room, you'll be on a bridge leading to an enormous tower. First get rid of the flying balls (#149). When the area is secured, approach the building.

The entrance is guarded by laser beams (#150). Go around the tower and push the buttons on both panels (#151) to deactivate the security. There's also an ammo locker in here.

The door Leeds to the elevator, which will enable you to go to the second and third floor (#152). First go to the Floor 3 to snatch some ammo and charge the energy gun. Then go to Floor 2 to fight off some enemy soldiers - some of them will appear during the fight, using the portal as usual.

To continue on your way further, you'll have to start the shuttle. In order to do that, approach the edge of one of the platforms (#153) and wait for the control switch to appear. Having the machinery operational, you'll be able to fly it (#154).

We'll stop right here for a moment to say a few words about the shuttle itself. First of all, it has its own armor - when it reaches zero, it'll be destroyed and will take you on its ride to the other side. Using the shuttle is risky, because in that case you won't be able to resume the game from the same spot after reincarnating.

You also have to imagine the very basics of what the shuttle really is. It's not really a ship of any sort, but a structure built over Tommy's body that enables him to fly. You can use it when fighting. When the shuttle's energy is low, just land and enter it again - it will start over with a full armor.

The shuttle can shoot and grab objects (including enemies) with its ray. The latter comes in very handy, as you can defeat even the toughest enemies by just grabbing them and dropping into an abyss - if there is any in the vicinity, of course. The shuttle-based levels are always quite huge and open, so in most cases that won't be a problem.

When you start your engine, go up, towards the fire-spewing pipe (remember Enisi's advice?). Land in an appropriate place (#155) and head to the door. In the next room defeat the hunters and go up using the slanting platforms (#156). The switch (#157) near the wall will turn on the wall walk that'll take you to the balcony.

Push both buttons (#158) and use the portal. Leave the complex and start the shuttle. Defeat all the enemies and head to the huge hatch, having machinery pieces thrown away before (with the grabbing ray) (#159). Once you're inside, land and use the next door. Go forth - at the end of the path you'll see a switch that'll activate another portal (#160).

Start the shuttle (#161) and go up towards the fire-spewing pipe (#162). You'll enter a sort of space highway, protected by a force field from each side. Fly the only way available, exterminating all the enemies. Watch out for the rings (#163) - you don't want to be inside of them when they're generating electricity. You'll see a rotating construction (#164) that will transport you to another road.

Keep flying forwards. After opening the hatch prepare to fight off some enemies walking along the wall walks. Carefully proceed below, until you reach another gate. You'll enter an enormous room. Defeat all the machines and concentrate on dealing with the hunters standing on the platforms. Remember that they can damage your ship. When the situation's critical, land (#165) and deal with them the old-fashioned way.

After landing you'll be on one of the platforms. Just before the door, turn left and spirit walk along the glowing path (#166) leading to the opposite side of the room. Use it and enter a small room through the open gate. You'll find a lot of ammo in here.

Get back to the door and use it. Push the button to open up the portal (#167) and use it to reach the regeneration spot. You'll also find some machine gun ammo here. Use the wall walk to get back to the platform and head to the door on the right (#168).

Push the button, cross the portal (#169) and use the panel (#170). You'll turn off the force field blocking the next room. Get back to the shuttle, as you'll be attacked by enemy machines now. It'll be easier to take them out using the ship's turrets.

Fly towards the next room. Get rid of the hunters and steadily land on the proper site (#171). Go through the door, push the button (#172) and enter the portal that will take you to the next chapter.
