Walkthrough[]
Use the weapons vendor to replenish your ammo and restore your nanotech. Subsequently, eliminate the obstructing kerchu pyroguard to gain access to the city. Be cautious as you traverse the walls since a trio of kerchu rollers will unexpectedly launch an ambush from the left side, making it a dangerous encounter due to the limited space within the walls. Given their resilience, it is advisable to employ the Negotiator along with a Nano-Swarmers hive to effectively handle these adversaries. Particularly, the Zero-Kelvin Laser Diode upgrade enhances the hive's capability to immobilize the rollers effectively.
Proceed to eliminate the second pyroguard barricading the bridge, enabling you to enter the area beyond. As you do so, a transport ship dramatically smashes through a wall, disgorging eight buccaneers. Shortly after, a group of four rollers emerges through the gate located behind them. It is recommended to deploy Nano-Swarmers (employing two or even three hives) while the pirates are disembarking, swiftly followed by saturating the entire area with Negotiator missiles. Exercise caution to avoid being forced onto the bridge by the rollers, as the confined space provides little room for evading their attacks.
Venture further into the structure, where you can strategically snipe a valuable jackpot crate. Subsequently, make efficient use of the Box Basher 2000 to demolish all the other crates in the vicinity. Remain vigilant for the swab and corsairs lurking behind the final stack. As you approach the open-air exit through the corridor, eliminate the last group of buccaneers congregated together on the elevator. Descend with the same elevator and employ the Swingshot to traverse the air, granting access to the two vendors. Notably, the devices vendor now offers Mega Leech Bombs and Transmorphers. The former represents a more potent iteration of the standard Leech Bomb, while the latter temporarily transmutes enemies into harmless penguins.
Proceed across the bridge, triggering a cutscene that starts the follow-up mission, "Defeat the Kerchu Guardian".
