Chapter 4: Hive

Priorities

Follow the pathway into the torch lit area and watch as the scene plays. After Dom and Marcus have their lovers quarrel. Follow Dom and use the switch to raise the elevator. Continue forward and watch the short scene and use the next lift to go down. Turn the valve ahead of you to shut the flood gates and cross the water. As you get half way across a locust will try to open the gates. Kill him and the rest and continue through the other side. Use the switch on the next lift to go down and move forward following Dom. He seems to have a nose that always knows. Head through the opening and kill the Mauler and wretches and make your way to the left side of the area.

Clear out the horde of locusts there and then use the terminal to the left. Once you do, Dom will start searching the cases for her. Follow him to the next terminal and continue to follow him. Make your way from terminal to terminal and avoid the patrol for as long as you can. Eventually they will spot you and send in reinforcements. Take them all out and you then you will need to defend Jack while he searches for Maria’s cell. Once the area is clear, grab a tissue and watch the cut scene.

Hornet’s Nest

Now that Dom is right pissed, head forward and to the right. Make another right and follow the corridor to find a jailer document on the ground. Continue through the corridor and you will come to a door on the right. Kick it open and watch the scene play. Now that you know where the palace is, its time to high tail it there. Head down the stairs and clear out the locusts there and up the next set of stairs. On the left will be a switch inside a small room. Flip it to open the door below and some more locusts will enter. Take them down and head through the doorway.

Continue through to come to a blood mount and more locusts. Head through the door they opened and you will come to a large area with rising walls. Pull the lever there to give yourself some cover for the oncoming assault. Kill the locusts, grinders and Reavers that appear and kill the engineer at the top right that tries to lower your cover. Once they are all dead, head through the large door and enter the next area where the door on both sides is closing. Kill the locusts that try to come through the hallway and continue across the tracks. Once the room is clear, head up the stairs on the right at the far end and enter the door on the left. Kill the locusts on the higher level and continue around until you come out of a doorway with a level across from you.

Pull it to raise cover to the right and use it for the upcoming battle. Kill the locusts behind the circular barricade and then move to their position. When you do, Jack will set off the beacon and more locusts will appear where you were. Fight them off and eventually the gate behind you will open. Head through and you will come to a few more levers and barricades that need to be cleared as the grind lifts come crashing in. Once the areas are clear, head up the stairs on the right and meet up with Cole and Baird.

No Turning Back

After the scene, hop on the cable car and shoot down the Reavers as they approach you. Once they are down, another car will come along side you. Kill the locusts on it and hop on to it. Hit the switch on it and kill another Reaver or two until you reach the far side. Hop off once you do and head through the door on the left. Now you’ll see some locusts on the run from an unknown enemy. How peculiar.

Head up the spiral stairs and check out the locust calendar at the far side. Make your way to the stairs on the far side and pull the lever there to raise more barriers. Kill the locusts there and continue to the right. Head down the stairs to a gate and there will be a switch there. Pull it and you will be given the choice of going to the stairwell or the lift with the troika. Go for the lift and simply rain bullets on everything for the three levels you go down.

Once the bridge extends, hop off and pull the lever to the left to open the door there. Follow the corridor to a large set of stairs leading down and go through the door to find some boomers down below. Clear the room out and head down the stairs to learn more about the Lambent. Once the scene is over, large door will open and two Grinders will appear. Kill them and head through the door to the rear and left of where they entered. Head down the stairs to kill the next group of locusts and make your way through the door to the right at the far end. Dig in behind the barriers there as a lift comes up full of locusts. Wipe them all out and a scene will play as you start to descend.

The Best-Laid Plans

As you step off the lift, head up the stairs and get ready for an ambush. Use the circular barricade in the center for cover as you kill the locusts at the windows. When your cover drops, hit the switch in the center to lift it up again. Once the enemies are down, head back to the stairs and make a right to follow the path there until you reach the lift on the left side. Take it down and enter the room there will blood mounts in cages. Pull the lever at the end and you will have the choice of going up or down.
