When, on returning from the [[../Lower Mines/]], you enter the final part of the Drilling Area, your field computer updates your secondary objective to "Service elevator to Factory accessible". Not only is it accessible, it's just a hop, skip and a jump (and the last four Strogg) away! Cross the bridge to the tunnel entrance. Now, if the bridge isn't down, don't despair, you just forgot to operate the lever that you can see through the bars in the room ahead of you (probably due to cheating or loading levels at the console). Drop into the water on the right-hand side of the central platform and swim into a well-lit underwater tunnel. You will come up through the mysterious hatchway that was mentioned a while ago.

The tunnel leads around two bends to a large room with the service elevator in the middle. Your field computer updates again and, somewhat prematurely, shows "Primary unit objective complete" as the primary objective and "Proceed to the Factory" as the secondary. In the room are two Tanks, two Light Guards and a lot of exploding barrels. You may not see the Guards because when the Tank on your left swings his Machinegun around he often takes them out by accident. Anyway, there is good cover at the corner of the tunnel, so strafe to the left, fire at one of the Tanks and strafe right back to safety. Grenades will work very nicely. If you want to reach all the secrets, however, there is one small complication - ''do not set off the exploding barrels that are around to the right of where the tunnel opens out into the room''. If you stay back in the tunnel, you'll be OK, you only risk messing up the secret if you run out into the room to fight the Tanks. See below for details of the Secret. | |||

After killing the | After killing the tanks, use the elevator to exit the level and move on to the Factory unit. If you need to go back to complete the kills, find secrets or collect any items that you left behind you can reach all parts of the level, and, in fact, backtrack to anywhere in the unit, but it will be quite a hike. Begin by taking the underwater tunnel back to the first area in this level as described above. Try to leave with full ammunition for all weapons and 100 armor points. | ||
