Nexus Hub  (15/51)

Destroy the Tetranode with Strauss

Enter the elevator (#83) and travel down. Turn right to meet Strauss (#84). The engineer will explain to you that in order to destroy the core, it's necessary to do a few other things first.

 

Activate the Power Plant

Strauss has to run the power station and you're his bodyguard (nothing new). Go through the nearest door. Climb up the ladder located on the left side. It's leading to the chamber with some armor, but due to the fact that engineer is with you, it not necessary to collect it. Run straight ahead and kill all met enemies. Eventually you'll reach the room, where the panel activating the power station is located (#85). Wait until Strauss will use it, eliminate Gladiator and return to the elevator.

 

 

Find the Emergency ShutOff Controls

This time you'll run in the other direction. Actively participate in the fight with monsters. Thanks to that, you will protect Strauss. You will reach the elevator which will take you up. There, the engineer will use another control pad (#86) and complete his mission.

 

Shut Down the Coolant Pumps

Now your job to execute the last point of the destruction of the Nexus complex's plan. On the right from Strauss you'll find useful ammunition. Recover everything you can and go to the door. After short walk, safe and sound, you’ll reach the big room with the panel in the middle #87). Make a save, choose strong weapon (e.g. Grenade Launcher) and prepare yourself for the fight.

After pushing the button you will be surrounded by two spiders (Stream Protectors), relatively though beast, that are using machine guns and flame throwers as weapons. Do not save ammunition - it won't be necessary later. When both spiders will fall down, prepare yourself for the fight against the final boss.

 

 

You don't stand a chance with the new Makron's incarnation (#88), but you can try your best. As soon as the big creature will stand up with you face to face, start to fire and avoid his bullets at the same time. Stroggos leader will get nervous. He'll use the other weapon to capture you.

Do not load a save game. Kane’s not dead. But his life will never be the same.

Heres how I beat him; go to the corner closest to him then the wall closest to him and if you shoot grenades onto the very leftof the pillar closest to you, it should bounce off and splash damage him.

I've followed your tips, but I can't defeat that guy. I can throw unlimited grenades at it, after a short while he uses the gravity thing and it seems like I'd die. Then there is a small animation where the big dude laughs. Then the game loads the next level partly: After a quarter of the loading bar is filled, it stops and the main menu appears. I think this isn't normal, is it?

Take the advice from Tomba, use the full clip of grenades from the launcher and it's all sorted

Kill the 2 Spiders with your grenade launcher while hiding and strafing behind the blue glowing tubes. After they die run to far right or left of the door where the big dude comes out. Hide behind there while jumping out and shooting him with grenades. Eventually he will grab you with his gravity gun, as soon as he does stop shooting him just wait (put down your controller!). The screen will go black and load the next level. It shouldn't show u the menu if u did it right.

Screw you

Uh, why don't you quake save as soon as that huge thing comes out so if he kills you, you can load back to that point, and not start the level over again.

i tried it... but those bastard spider guys before him took a large chunk of my health out before i killed them... meaning the leader comes and kills me pretty quick then, i lose a save point! meaning i must start the lvl again - bastard thing

This boss pissed me off, if u try to dodge, he hits you with the 3-shot-at-a-time red energy ball thing, if u hide, he shoots about 5-6 grenades around where u are standing, it will do like 150 damage almost no matter where u are (in the hard difficulty anyway), my advice is get into a corner where he doesn't see you and where his grenades dont hurt you (to he far right or left of where he enters), and launch grenades till u have to reload 2-3 times (about 15-20 genades lol), the grnades wont hit him directly, but will still do damage, then his weird energy floating device thing will end the battle

The MAKRON uses his gravity gun and after that the windows turns in black. For 2 or 3 seconds everˇthing is black but I can listen the sound of the MAKRON launching rockets, but then it seems like I die and start the main menu of the game.
