REFINERY
Climb onto the platform to see a control desk with seven buttons, which you must press to raise and lower the four pistons on the conveyor belt. The buttons at the top go from 1 to 4, the ones at the bottom from 5 to 7. The first allows you to raise the pistons 1 and 3, the second 2 and 3, the third 1, 3 and 4, the fourth 2, 3 and 4 . Those from 5 to 7, on the other hand, raise the pistons 1, 3 and 4 in order. To move forward it is necessary to raise all the pistons, then you must press, in order, the buttons 4 (2, 3 and 4 rise ), 6 (3 is lowered), 7 (4 is lowered, only the second remains on) and 3 (1, 3 and 4 are raised). After solving the puzzle, head to the small niche to the west and take the two rockets, the two batteries for the torch and the motor, then place the latter on the conveyor belt closest to the entrance, thus unlocking the ladder. Climb to the top of this one, grab the motor and take it behind it to the fan, put it between the spokes in order to destroy it, then crawl inside, not forgetting the useful object. Follow the tunnel, then drop the engine into the new room to bring down the ladder, then put it back in its compartment, then hit the switch and proceed on the conveyor belt to the room where all the puffs of steam start. It won't be easy, because you can only go a step or two at a time, having to wait for the smoke to clear. Then advance one step, then right one, down one, right one, forward two, diagonally left one, forward one twice, then right one two more times. Once at the bottom, move the barrels under the stairs, go through the ventilation shaft, follow it to the right and exit into shaft 12, but noting that the door at the top of the stairs has not yet opened.
DUCT 12
Move the cart blocking the passage, turn around and head towards the middle, cut the chains in front with the pincer, then push the cart onto the rail to shatter the wall. Pick up the newspaper fragment, take the old newspaper from the drawer and use it, along with the screwdriver, on the door. Use the newspaper again to retrieve the metal key, open the door, enter the room to be contacted by Red again, then turn on the light near the entrance, take a look at the photograph of Jack Nicholson, open the inventory and double click on the blank piece of paper, get a password (1371), get the worm study from the closet, then go out through the door you unlocked earlier.
UNDERGROUND AREA 8
Proceed to section C, enter the code 1371 on the control panel, open the door and, once inside, pay close attention to the usual dogs. Kill them as before, with the steam, then hide behind the box which should be almost in front of you. Listen to what Red has to tell you, then throw some meat into the middle of the room, lure the beast and kill it. Do the same with the dog in the corridor to the east. Then head to the chemical warehouse, entering it through the door in the far corner.
CHEMICALS WAREHOUSE
Advance down the corridor, watch the cutscene, then escape the worm. Once you have seeded the creature, enter the opening and press the switch to the left, run to the right and use the boxes to jump over the acid. Then close a second door with the switch on the right, destroy the two barricades with the ax, push the boxes into the acid and jump to the other side, get behind the plank facing the area you came from and reduce it to shatter with the ax, then use the valve to open the door, then enter the room and take the note from the table, the chemicals (A and D) from the tables, (E) from the cabinet, (B and F) from the 'cupboard and (C) from the shelf next to the door. While you're at it, also retrieve the two rockets from the box on the ground and the piece of meat from the drawer, then save before leaving and head to the lake in the southwestern part of the map.
LAKE UTUQAO
Follow the tunnel to the lake, using the save point if you need it, then proceed to the edge of the frozen body of water until the ice breaks. At that point, jump back, then jump onto the floating chunks of ice, reaching the first island. Use the same strategy to arrive safely on the second island and then on dry land. Then cut, with the saw, the hand that comes out of the ice and take the crowbar, examine it, then exit, proceed in the direction of the incinerator and, once in front of the door at the end, use the crowbar to open it and enter .
INCINERATOR
Listen to Red again, then proceed until the corridor splits to the left as well. Turn around, follow the boards until you are in a room, take the two painkillers from the first aid kit and the glass container from the table, then open the drawer and collect the fuse. Combine the petrol tank and the Bunsen burner, turn on the burner, put the glass container on it, mix the chemicals D and F to produce an explosive, take the container and bring it in front of the boards before, without dropping it, if not you want to blow up and be reduced to offal. Dip the fuse in the substance, light it, then run away so as not to be involved in the explosion. Then enter the passage you just opened and advance until you reach a T-shaped room with a door in the front area. Then enter Red's room, which however is located in a coffin above the incinerator, information that will make you understand that the character is probably a vampire. Go to the right of the machine and press the button to save Red, then open the drawer under the incinerator, take the key, go back from the corridor, go through the door on the right and open the locked one at the end. Then open the other drawer, take the sermon, open the door in the corner, move the bookcase to find an electrical panel, use the screwdriver to open it and the pincer to cut the wires, then go back to the area of the door that you were not yet managed to open and then use the crowbar to do so.
REFUGE
