Gears of War/Act Three: Belly of the Beast

Locate the Pumping Station Before Dawn
Traverse the Kryll caves here to find the pumping station before the Kryll return home at dawn.

You'll come across about half a dozen Dark Wretches that prompts Marcus to have Baird to stay back and protect Cole and the resonator. Be sure to grab the Longshot on the lower platform before continuing on.

Regroup with Baird and Gus
As you and Dom continue forward, you fall down a slippery slope. So Baird and Gus will have to find an alternate route to meet up with the squad later.

Further up the path you'll come across some Drones, Grenadiers and a Sniper. Take them out with your Longshot or Lancer. Bust open the door here to get some extra ammo and some Frag Grenades.

As you proceed down the path you will get shot at from a Locust Sniper. He is hard to see up in the cavern, but you have two methods of dealing with him. You can use your Longshot and fire back at him from cover, or you can shoot down the Weakened Column of stone that he is right next to with your Lancer. I'd go for the stone myself to conserve ammo and for a bit of enjoyment.

In the next few areas, you'll just run into some Dark Wretch. Nothing too hard here, also be sure to keep an eye out for ammo drops along the side passageways. You'll need some for what's up next.

After the second group of Dark Wretches there is a Boomer to deal with. Take cover and take him out with your Longshot. A few good headshots should do it. Let Dom take care of the few Dark Wretch that come after you as well here.

Just past the Boomer you and Dom fall down again, this time through a covered hole in the ground. As you land you are surrounded by Dark Wretches. Luckily thanks for their explosive tenancies they leave a new path for you to continue on through.

A bit further and the squad decides to split up again to cover more room because time is running short.

Right Path
You travel amongst the high road, just to the left of Dom. You will face one Drone and a few Dark Wretches. Take them out and help out Dom on the left by taking out the Drone who is undercover out in the distance.

Eventually the paths cross and now you are on the Left Side of Dom. You have a few more Dark Wretches to clear out along with a Grenadier on each side of the path. Help Dom out when you can.

Once you are cleared you will be reunited with Dom.

Left Path
The Left Path is almost identical to the right path. Just keep an eye out on Dom to make sure he is not in harms way.

Back with Dom
Once you reunite with Dom, drop down into the lower area on the right to load up with some more ammo.

Further down the path, you will find a cavern off to the left. Follow that through and clear out the Dark Wretches and the Drones that come your way.

After there you will get a teaser from the Corpser again. But this time it feels like there is a battle coming up. Grab any ammo you can find, you will need it!

Kill The Corpser
Time to do battle with the Corpser.

As the battle starts, run to the left side of the Corpser to fill up your ammo. Back away from him and wait until he lifts his front legs to attack you. When this happens, avoid his strikes while shooting him in the brown abdomen. When you shoot him here, he will open his mouth. At this point, you must shoot him in the mouth to make him back up. Repeat these steps until he backs up onto the platform. As he backs up, you will be attacked from behind by Dark Wretches. Remember to avoid these when you kill them because they explode.

When you've backed the Corpser up all the way, you'll notice that there are 2 metal plates connecting this platform to the rock you're standing on. Go to each of these and wait for the corpser to try to strike you. Dodge his legs and he will smash the plates. Then just sit back and watch him fall into the immulsion and die. Alternately if you have a shotgun, you can go easy mode and shoot out the plates yourself.

Reunited after drowning the Corpser in imulsion, the squad continues their search for the pumping station.

Secure the Pumping Station
As you find the pumping station, you will be walking along a giant pool of Imulsion on a rock island. On the right just a bit from the start is the first appearance of the Torque Bow, pick it up I'm sure there is a use for it ahead.

As you approach the station itself, the squad breaks into two groups to handle the enemies ahead. This is important knowing what awaits the squad ahead.

As you approach the station, you are confronted by a new type of Locust, the Theron Guards. In the words of Marcus "Ah, shit. Looks like they upgraded!". The Theron Guard are not only smarter than the Drone of old, but they carry better weapons like the Torque Bow and the Gnasher.

You'll face about two waves of three to four Theron Guards each. Take some out with the Torque Bow from afar, and then move in with Dom to clear the rest out.

Restore Power to the Elevator
Now that the area is clear, you reunite with the rest of the squad and deploy the resonator. Bye Bye Locust!
