[[Image:CogTag22.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Cog Tag 22]]Traverse the [[Kryll]] caves here to find the pumping station before the [[Kryll]] return home at dawn. 
==Darkest Before Dawn==
 
"Traverse the caves before the Kryll come home"
You'll come across about half a dozen [[Dark Wretch|Dark Wretches]] that prompts [[Marcus Fenix|Marcus]] to have [[Damon Baird|Baird]] to stay back and protect [[Augustus Cole|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 [[Dominic Santiago|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.
 
[[Image:CogTag23.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Cog Tag 23]]Further up the path you'll come across some [[Drone|Drones]], [[Grenadier|Grenadiers]] and a [[Locust Sniper|Sniper]].  Take them out with your [[Longshot]] or [[Lancer]].  Bust open the door here to get some extra ammo and some [[Frag Grenade|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 Wretch|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 [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]] take care of the few [[Dark Wretch]] that come after you as well here.
 
Just past the [[Boomer]] you and [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]] fall down again, this time through a covered hole in the ground.  As you land you are surrounded by [[Dark Wretch|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 [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]].  You will face one [[Drone]] and a few [[Dark Wretch|Dark Wretches]].  Take them out and help out [[Dominic Santiago|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 [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]].  You have a few more [[Dark Wretch|Dark Wretches]] to clear out along with a [[Grenadier]] on each side of the path.  Help [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]] out when you can.
 
Once you are cleared you will be reunited with [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]].
 
====Left Path====
 
The Left Path is almost identical to the right path.  Just keep an eye out on [[Dominic Santiago|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 Wretch|Dark Wretches]] and the [[Drone|Drones]] that come your way.
 
[[Image:CogTag24.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Cog Tag 24]]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.
 
 
Reunited after drowning the [[Corpser]] in imulsion, the squad continues their search for the pumping station.

===Secure the Pumping Station===
{{Footer Nav|game=Gears of War|backpage=Act Two: Nightfall|nextpage=Act Four: The Long Road Home}}
 
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 Guard|Theron Guards]].  In the words of [[Marcus Fenix|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 Guard|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!
