Downward Spiral Prey Guide (2006)

Last update: 11 May 2016

There's a switch on the left (pressing it will turn on the machinery that's transporting the prisoners), and to the right you'll see an alien organism (#15) that functions in the same way as a regeneration spot. Go forth and kill the hunter that comes out of the portal (#16). You'll get your first gun - eliminating the enemies will be a bit easier from now on.

Go straight ahead. You'll see another portal (#17) and another enemy for you to kill. Before you turn right, you can use the gateway to get to a platform with a healing point on it. Deactivate the force field using the switch. Gather the ammo and jump down.

Wait for an alien egg to appear and push it into the hole (#18). Move back a bit and shoot the cocoon a few times. The explosion will open a way through the floor.

You'll find yourself in a big room (#19). Deal with the enemies and turn right towards the door. One of the prisoners is hitting the door from the other side and calling for your help. To his left there's an ammo locker (#20) - you'll see a lot of these during the rest of the game.

Go back to the huge room and jump down (#21). The green spiders function as grenades in this game - just approach them and you'll automatically pick them up. Look at the highlighted path that's visible on the wall. It works like a gravitational magnet - if you enter it, you'll be able to walk along walls or even ceilings just as if they were normal, horizontal passages. Follow the path to find another room with grenades to snatch.

Deal with the enemies and use the wallwalk at the end of the platform (#22). After a short walk you'll reach a small room filled with Fodders. Go down, kill the enemies and take the ammo from the locker to the left. Notice that one of the boxes at the end of the corridor is moving. Go in its direction. A monster will jump out of it (#23). Crawl inside the box.

Enter another box (#24). You'll end up on a round sphere, being somehow shrunk (#25). Wait for the hunters to open their portals and attack you directly on the surface. Kill the aggressors and continue on. After a short walk you'll see a metal bar, and below it - a hole with a teleport in it (#26).

You'll reach another part of the spaceship. Step lightly. Your target is the portal nearby (#27). Be careful and avoid the green ooze coming out of the walls. In the next section, you have to do the same thing again (#28). Go forth, carefully looking around. The vomiting organs are also on the floor and on the ceiling.

After using the door, walk the only available path and pay attention to any ammo lockers around. You'll see a new type of enemies along the road - mutated people (#29) who are machine workers around here, and also very fast and irritating dogs (#30).

You'll end up in a dark room. Approach the panel near the railings and use it. You'll see space itself, and the room will be filled with light. Look to the right - there's a wallwalk, so use it now.

Go forth. The path will lead you to a room (#33) filled with workers. Kill them all and push one of the cocoons to the door with plants all over it and shoot it. Wait for the hunter to appear, then deal with it and go further.

You'll reach a huge room with a metal bridge (#35) leading to the other side of the complex. Use it and grab the ammo (#36). Head back and wait for the hunters to destroy the bridge. You'll fall down into the abyss.
