Walkthrough: 8 - On a Rail
It sounds simple, what you have to do is take this tram to a
rocket that you need to launch, but this tram line is old and badly
designed. There's Military everywhere!
Near the beginning you come to the bottom of a rocket. About 10
minutes later you'll find yourself higher up the same rocket. And
right at the end of the level (which is very long) you're at the top
of the same rocket. See what I mean by badly designed? |
| |
Listen to the Security Guard and open the Barrier using the
switch behind him, then return to your tram. Do not board the first
lift until you have killed the Barnacles, otherwise they'll kill
you. Then take your tram down the lift and follow the tunnel,
avoiding electricity coming out the walls, and a dangling
electrified cable (duck to avoid it). When you come to an arrow on a
red background pointing right, shoot it. Make sure you kill the
Barnacle over the rail ahead and continue till you come to a
platform, stop here. Go up the stairs and throw a Grenade round the
boxes to destroy the sensory gun. Push the lever to move a crane
blocking the rail below. Take your tram until you come to another
arrow, shoot it then continue. |
| |
There is a lot of Military ahead so stay alert. Try your best to
kill all the Military around the lift, and stop when you get to the
top. Climb down the ladder to the right of the rail to find a
First-Aid Unit. Go back up and continue on the train and kill more
Military in the next area. |
| |
Optional: This little section will take you to a H.E.V unit if you need
power:
Jump across to the opposite side (under an air conditioning
shaft) and go up the stairs there. After killing an Alien Slave and
a couple of Headcrabs, you will find a H.E.V. Unit. Then return to
your tram. |
| |
Go up the staircase near your tram and kill the Military at the
top, then make your way round killing the Military and breaking
boxes as you go. When you go down some stairs at the end turn left
and you'll see some Trip Mines. Blow them up with your Pistol, then
kill the Alien Slaves at the other end and return to your tram the
way you came. Open the Barrier blocking your path and take your tram
along the tunnel. When you see a blockade ahead get ready for three
more Military to the left. |
| |
You then have to leave your tram and continue on foot for a bit.
When you get close to the door a battle between Alien Slaves and
Military will start. Once that has finished, you go in and kill the
victor. If you go right you will see two vending machines and a
First-Aid unit, beware here of some Headcrabs which will fall from
the ceiling. If you didn't already know (you should) you will get
one health from every drink you get out of a Vending Machine. Break
the boards opposite and you'll find a security guard. |

Quick-save your game and do not ask the Security
Guard to follow you yet. I hope you've got some Grenade-rounds for
your machine gun because your going to need them! There is a
Military man on a big gun ahead (see picture). You need to try to
get a grenade round behind the gun to blow up the Military man.
Congratulations! You've completed Part 1! Save your game.

Enter the Blast Door and climb down the ladder to your left and
go through the next Blast Door. Ignore the tram for a minute and
enter the room to your right and break the boxes. If you look behind
this room you will find a H.E.V. Unit. Board the tram and duck when
you come to the lasers to avoid activating some sensory guns. |
| |
After two corners you will start to get shot at by a big
Military Rocket Launcher. Simply duck to avoid them. Kill the
military person controlling it then stand well back and blow up the
Trip Mine. Continue until just before a corner, stop here and shoot
the Trip Mine just round the corner. There is about five Alien
Slaves ahead so be careful. Get off your Tram at the barrier and use
the First-Aid unit if you need it. When you come to some green
crates stand back and shoot one of the Trip Mines behind it. Then
climb over the boxes and go up the stairs. |
| |
Kill the Military around, use the switch and the H.E.V. unit if
you need to, then return to your tram. Take your tram round and try
to stop the Military person taking the other tram. Do not continue
in your current tram, there is a trap ahead. If you failed to stop
him taking the other tram, try to follow on foot, it will have been
stopped ahead by another barrier. |
| |
When you come to the next barrier, get ready for another one of
those big guns surrounded with sand bags. There are also two
Military men hiding behind some crates. Kill the military man
controlling the gun like you did the first one, then pull the lever
and return to your tram. |
| |
Stop just before the next tram lift and drop a Satchel Charge
into the middle of the person lift, then send it up without you.
Detonate the bomb when the lift reaches the top to blow up some
explosive boxes blocking your way. Then call the lift back down to
you and go up the lift yourself. The explosion should have blown up
the Military person at the top of the lift, so climb down the ladder
and dispatch of the military person at the bottom. Return to your
tram using the lift and go up the tram lift. |
| |
Try to avoid the electrical sparks crossing the rail. Stop just
before the corner and shoot the Trip mines. Continue down the line,
ducking when you come to some moving boxes. There are some Military
hiding behind some boxes at the next barrier. Make sure you stay
ducked at the next set of moving boxes. You will come to another
manned rocket launcher, which you can once again duck to avoid. Make
sure you shoot the arrow ahead so you go forward instead of right. |
| |
Stop at the broken tram lift and climb down the ladder to your
right. At the bottom jump over the laser and go in the opposite
room. There is a Zombie on each side of the door. Use the First-Aid
Unit (if you need to) then break and climb through one of the
windows. The next bit is very hard, what you need to do is avoid
getting killed by the big gun as best you can, using the boxes and
sandbags as cover. |
 |
Once you get outside, watch out for a sniper. When you come to
some lasers and explosives lining the walls (see picture) you need
to use the crates to climb up to the top of the stairs without
touching the lasers. Put the crates against the wall to the right of
the stairs and use them to get up. Go to the room at the end and
press the "Launch" button. Enjoy the show! |
| |
If you go to the other room before leaving you
will find a First-Aid Unit. Then return to the tram line and go
through the now open door and climb down a ladder to the right.
Board the tram here and continue. Congratulations! You've
completed the level! Save your game!
