4.11. Volcano Assault
---------------------
Go to a city to restock. The next part is long, very exhausting, and it is the last part of the game. I wont spoil it for you, but follow these instructions carefully, otherwise you will end up like me, half dead at the showdown and not one bullet left.
Heal your charachter fully. Also make sure your medicine addiction is cured, you will need every bit in the volcano. Buy a fresh heavy armor, and one replacement if you can carry it. Buy 8 TNT packages, go to other cities if you have to. With those 8 TNT packages the showdown will be easier. Buy a sniper rifle and upgrade it to the highest level. Buy lots of sniper ammo, have at least 60 Bullets with you. Buy an Assault Rifle (the AK47 looking one) and upgrade it to the highest level. Even if you dont want it, do it. If that is your weapon of choice anyways, good. If it has wear, sell it and buy a new one. Throw away your handgun and your knife. Buy lots syringes (and when you are done with your shopping, fill up with fruits so you still can walk fast). Buy an SMG, upgrade it, buy armor piercing bullets (500 should do it). Buy armor piercing bullets for your rifle (Assault, or other of choice, i prefer battle rifle). Have at least 60 sniper rounds, 500 smg rounds and 400 rifle rounds on you. Also armor, 8 TNT packages and things to regain your health.
If you do NOT have an assualt rifle, you will byte yourself in your butt, because you will find no other ammo then bullets for the assault rifle (and shotgun ammo that is useless though) and you will use tons of ammo in this part. So take my advice, take one with you.
Make your way to the blip.
There are tons of enemys in this sector. They are on top of hills, behind bushes, everywhere. Make sure you proceed with caution. Check the hilltops before you move, use the sniper to catch those far away ones, use your normal rifle to pick off the rest. You make your way trhough a valley (take a look at the nice waterfall) and the blip leads you to a place with two hangar like structures. Between them, climb the hill to those bushes you see up there. Between them is a hatch where you can climb down. You made it to the lab. Now you can drop all the sniper bullets you have left, if any, and the sniper rifle itself. You wont need it anymore. From now on, collect grenades, syringes and bullets from every dead enemy. You will need it. Go on careful, read a bit ahead, then exectue it, and save often. If you get hurt too much, load the save game, and retry. You should make it to the lab where your daughter is without too much trouble and without having to resort too often to syringes.
Open the door in front of you, stay in the room, and peek to the left. You should see a guard that you can down easy. Get out of the room with the ladder, turn left and turn your attention to the left again. There is one guard in that control room, and one is on the stairs. When you step on teh stairs and look down, you can see another one crouching behind a box. Go into the control room, trhough it, and open the door, where the next guard is. Go up the stairs, to the other corridor and kill the guard standing there. Go right at the intersection and kill the guard in the room to your left. Go to the end of the corridor (not the door with the code lock) and open it, aim left for the first one in the corner, and the second guard further down, one level on the stairs when you step closer to the railing. Go down the stairs, take the door that is not on the lowest level, that one that points away from the blip. Open the door to your left, there are two guards here, one to the right, one to the left. Take them out, then return to this room. There is a "Sector A key" card on the desk, take it. You can go to the lowest room, there are two guards in that garage and one in the control room to your right, but nothing else of interest. Use the stairs again to go back up. Enter the corridor, turn left and use the door. It will open thanks to your key. Around the corner to your right is another guard. The only door that opens is the last one on the left. Go through and save. Straight is another door, the security chiefs office. He is on the right side, kill him, and take his "Sector B key". Track back to the big hall (in the corridor without the carpet to the left). Take the stairs to the floor level. In the back right corner you see an open port. Approach carefully, kill the one to the left, that you can see when you stand close to an edge, then the two in more plain sight. You can go trhough the door to your right if you want to and kill 3 more enemyes to salvage some syringes and ammo, or go left right away. On the left wall is a door with a yellow card reader. Use the cardreader then the door.
Turn left, and kil the guard in the corner. Advance a bit so you can see the guard standing up at the railing. Take the first stairs then go to the next corner and you see a guard in the corner on the top level of the stairs. Take the door on the top level, the other is fake. There is a guard in the right corner. Follow up the stairs to the door. Open it as usual, and enter. There is a guard to your right side through the glass and bars, guarding that corridor. Shoot him, then go around to that corridor. At the end of the corridor comes another guard through the bars, and there is one in the crontol section behind glass to your left there as well. Take them out and proceed to the next card locked door. When the door is open, crouch, you can shoot the first enemy through the stairs on the left side. Go up the stairs, open the door but stand aside. There is a guard crouching striaght behind a box. Take him out, then go to the stairs and open the door on the left. There is one guard down the corridor. Follow it to the security room. Now when you enter trhough the next card door, theres lots of enemies from all directions. There are about 6 on the upper floor, and 5 on the lower. Take out what you can from the distance of the upper level, then charge and elliminate the lower ranks. Go up the stairs, and to the door in the east wall (from the entry point into this room, its on the upper level to the left). There is one guard straight, and two each of them to the sides (left and right) on the upper levels. Turn left, and take that door. Open the next door and kill the guard to your left. There is one more around the corner to your right, take that one out too, then go trhough the door. Talking to the lab director doesnt do anything, but he has a safe behind him. Open it to get the Sector C key card.
Go back to the room that had the 3 guards and has that lightning pipe going from floor to ceiling. Go to the other side of that room, and open the door. Open the next door, kill the guard on the left, then go in the back left corner through the next door. Now in this lrger room are the following enemies: One straight across the room, one on the middle level, left side, one on the middle level right side, three in the control room to your right. Kill the open standing ones, then go right into the control room, take those out. Make it to the other side of the room and go through that door. Behind the next door is a soldier on the left. Another one is on the lower floor. These lower levels of the room, are all accessible through the round room with the plants we were before. But its harder to hit them from below, so this is a lot cleaner way. Next door again one on the right side, one on the lower level. Follow to the door and step through. Follow the corridor, to the last door on the left and open it. The doctor explains that you have to blow up 8 hydraulic pumps in order to get your daughter out. So lets do this.
4.12. Final chord
-----------------
Go through the door in that lab. Follow around the corner and kill the three guards. Go up the stairs and you see 2 more guards straight on some stairs, there are in total 3 in that area. Kill them all, then go into the room to your right and stock up on whatever you need. If you dont have 8 TNT packages with you, then you should take 8 RPGs with you, drop everything but armor, and the assualt rifle with its bullets (if you listen to my advice you should ahve one). Then go through the door and the next one.
After the cut sequence comes the final showdown. Forget about killing them, they respawn over and over again. Make it into the 4 compartements, blow up the pumps and you did it. Sometimes there is a guard next to one pump, so be on the look out. You can destroy it using TNT (which you wont get anywhere up here) or the RPGS (stand close to one pump, aim at the other and blow it to pieces). When you are done in one room, throw a grenade if you have one outside, then run to the next compartement, shooting the enmies in your way a bit. Always keep a few bullets in your gun so you can shoot the occasional guard in a pump station. Only the 4 open portals are pumps. The doors in between dont matter and contain nothing useful.
Once all 8 pumps are done, you did it. The antenna explodes and you take your daughter home in a helicopter.
Congratulations on completing Boiling Point!
