- As always, sell your treasure. Increase Chris's shotgun and machine gun capacity once, and machine gun firepower once. Take the magnum out of Sheva's inventory and leave her with a rifle and machine gun. Get at least two first aid sprays in your arsenal before starting the mission.
- Head out of the stasis area in the direction marked on your map. Go through the door at the end.
- Down the next hallway, you'll find a collection of boxes full of ammo. Cut them open with your knife, then head through the next door.
- You'll see a group of armed Majini ahead. Descend down the stairs, but not all the way. Once you think you can clear the ceiling with grenade, toss it in the middle of all three enemies.
- Whether or not you don't get them all, rush to the crates ahead and take cover with X. Use your pistol to take down any enemies that are still around or that come through the doorway.
- Go up to the doorway and take cover behind the wall. Use your pistol again to kill the next few enemies that come through the door ahead. If you aim for the head, you'll have a good chance of scoring a critical headshot.
- Go through the next door and look left for some more ammo crates. Then, go the the end of the wall on your left and take cover.
- Wait until the enemies ahead stop shooting, then run to the crates ahead. Take cover behind them.
- Your first priority here are the enemies rushing in. Use your machine gun to take them down quickly. Then, you can worry about the stationary enemies with machine guns. Kill them with your pistol.
- Another group of enemies will rush in. One of them has a metal helmet, so you'll have to shoot the stomach if you hear your bullets being reflected.
- Clear out the remaining enemies with your pistol, then move forward.
- Before going through the door at the end, turn left and enter the small room. A Majini will come from the dark stairs above, so take him down with the shotgun or pistol, then collect the red herb to your left, along with whatever's in the two crates. Now, go through the door.
- Follow the path around the corner to the right, then take cover behind the left wall at the end.
- Three Majini are here. One will rush in, so use your shotgun when he gets close. Keep shooting while the other enemies aren't firing to destroy the growth from this enemy's head.
- The closest of the last two enemies has a metal mask. Wait until he stops shooting, then fire at the lower chest with your pistol. Then, use your pistol on the far enemy as well.
- Run up to the crates ahead. Another Majini will pop up from the raised platform, so use your pistol or machine gun to defeat him.
- Grab ammo from the crates on either side of the lower level, then head upstairs.
- When you reach the top of the stairs, start shooting the far enemies with your pistol, but let Sheva do most of the work with her rifle. Then, run up to the crates just before the railing.
- There are three sets of exploding tanks here -- two on either side of you, and one in the distance. Shoot the distant one first, then use the other two to defeat any Majini that rush towards you. You should be safe from the blast if you stay at the crates.
- Move forward. Get in the elevator and press B to ascend.
- At the next level, down the hall and grab the supplies at the end. There's another crate to break to your right after you cross through the bloody pathway.
- You'll have to deal with several Lickers around the next corner. Use a pistol to shoot the closest one, then toss a grenade at the pile. It's best to keep them at a distance, so use your pistol and machine gun to finish them off. Make sure to grab any Lion Hearts they dropped.
- You should be able to walk safely down the hallway after defeating this group of enemies. When you turn the corner, a couple more will appear in front of you. Back off slightly, then use your pistol and machine gun to take them down.
- The same thing will happen again as you move through the hall. Quickly pull out your shotgun to blast back the first group, then retreat. Use a grenade to thin the crowd, then finish up with the machine gun.
- You can now make it through the hall safely. Open the door at the end by pressing B.

- Walk to the end of the platform your on. Instead of going down the ladder, look down and shoot one of the enemies below. This will trigger a swarm of them.
- Retreat to the corner of the platform you're standing on, looking out on the group of enemies. Use your pistol to shoot the enemy on the platform in front of you, bathed in orange light.
- From here, you'll be safe from the two machine gunners. Wait here with your shotgun and blast any enemies that climb up.
- Once they're defeated, use your pistol to carefully pick off the two machine gunners below, then hop down to the next level.
- Start moving to the left. Look across the conveyor belt and kill any remaining enemies you see using the pistol.
- When you reach the ladder, look up. On the right side of the platform above, there's set of red canisters. Shoot them to kill any nearby enemies, then climb up.
- Drop down on the other side. Turn left and break open the crates at the end of the path for some supplies. You can also shoot a Majini waiting on the platform above, to your left.
- Turn back walk alongside the conveyor belt. Climb up the stairs, then hop down to the platform leading onto the belt.
- You'll have to avoid the crates and move up the belt without getting pulled into the fire behind you. To do this, run on the center of the path, between the two belts. Find an opening on the right side when you reach the divider, then climb up the platform to your right.
- Pull the lever to stop the belts, then head upstairs and through the door.
- Grab the supplies at the front of this platform, then walk towards the railing. Look around the platform above for a Majini, and kill him with your pistol.
- While standing at the railing, looking out onto the belt, borrow Sheva's rifle. Look down to the next platform that crosses over the belt. There's a Majini here, who you can shoot when fully zoomed in. Take him down before stepping onto the belt.
- The best strategy for entering the belt is to stand back and shoot a cluster of exploding canisters near the entry point. This will clear a safe path.
- Jump down, and immediately start moving forward to avoid the furnace.
- Look towards the platforms above as you move forward. As soon as you can see the red canisters on the one in the distance, shoot them to blow up the Majini standing nearby.
- Get out your shotgun as you move ahead. A couple of Majini will appear on the high platform, plus a couple below on the platform to your left. Shoot nearby barrels to kill the lower Majini, then rush forward, ignoring the upper ones for now.
- Once you get under their platform, they won't be able to hit you. Blast any other enemies that come to the lower platform, then pull the lever to stop the belt. Now, you can run onto the belt and kill the remaining Majini on the upper platform.
- BSAA EMBLEM: Go down the stairs. To your left are two dumpsters. Look inside the open one on the left and shoot the only emblem in this level.
- To the right from where you go downstairs, there's a weapons case on the far table. Inside is the SIG 556, which you should grab and give to Sheva in exchange for her AK-74. Discard grenades if you need to.
- Get on the raised platform next to you, then go up the stairs to your right. Follow this path, which goes down some stairs, through an area with strange organisms, and up another set of stairs to where Chris remarks on the presence of missiles.
- From here, go right. Search this area for supplies before going to the spot marked on your map. After you[ve collected everything, step onto that middle platform and pull the lever. This restores power to the conveyor belt you saw near the SIG 556 case.
- Pull out your shotgun and start heading back to that belt. Along the way you'll hear the screams of a new enemy -- the Reaper.
- Move through the area with the organism eggs, and you'll see one of them has hatched. At the end of this path, turn right to see the Reaper moving towards you.
- This is easy enough. Stay with your back to the wall and start blasting away with the shotgun. Don't stop until the Reaper is on the ground, twitching. That means it's dead.
- TREASURE: Reapers occasionally drop Power Stones, good for 5,000 gold. Grab this one before going back to the conveyor belt.
- Pull the lever to activate the belt. Get on and take it back to just before the furnace, where you can cross over to the other side.
- Watch out for the test subjects when you're near the furnace. Some of them pop up and grab you when they're close by; it's normally not a problem, but if you're held back into the furnace, it's game over.
- TREASURE: As you move up the belt, be on the look out for the Dead Bride's Necklace, which you'll see along the ground. You may even find a couple if you're lucky.
- Cross back over to the other side of the belt when you see the opening at the end, and get onto the platform to your right. From here, climb up the stairs and through the red door.

- There are some supplies in the next room. Grab all you can, then head through the next door for a cutscene.
- Here, you'll encounter a test subject infected with Uroboros. Start the battle by retreating behind the red barrel. When the boss walks past it, shoot the barrel to delay him. Now, you can retreat further.
- You'll need to work on shooting the boss's arms first. Aim for the orange pockets on either side, using either the pistol or the machine gun. There's plenty of ammo scattered around the map, but killing this boss will require lots of it.
- Eventually, you'll hear that the flamethrower has been recharged. Once you've destroyed both the boss's arms, head to the flamethrower and pick it up. Wait until Uroboros gets close, then torch it. Sheva will tell you it's working if you've done it correctly.
- The boss springs more arms, so you'll have to retreat and repeat the cycle. First, find a safe path to the flamethrower station and put it back for recharging. Then, continue to work on the arms.
- Always keep an eye out for the ground. Occasionally, you'll see some worms, signaling that Uroboros is going to spawn in that area. When this happens, run to safety.
- When stopping to fire at the boss, make sure you're around a corner on a different path. Otherwise he'll line up for a deadly blow, and you'll have to press either A or X when prompted to dodge.
- The second time you torch the enemy, you won't get any aural clues. Just keep torching until you're spent, then retreat. Put the flamethrower back when it's safe and repeat the cycle.
- It will take about five rounds total of this to defeat the boss. The strategy doesn't vary at all. Just keep shooting out the orange spots, then torching. Eventually you'll see Uroboros die, completing the mission.
