Gears of War 2 Guide - Act 3: Gathering Storm
Chapter 3: Rude Awakening
The Sires in the laboratory downstairs have been awakened. If you still have a Lancer Assault Rifle with you, fighting
off these creatures will be a cinch since the chainsaw bayonet can easily cut through them. Best of all, while cutting
through one Sire you'll be immune to damage any others around you.
When you're ready, head back down to the lab and walk off to the right to trigger a brief cutscene. Ready your
Lancer and slice through the first Sire. Move deeper into the lab to trigger more. Make your way into the next room
and continue to walk around the cells and chainsaw the Sires as they pop up.
Move on to the final section of the lab and make your way over to the gate. There is a handwheel on either side of
this gate, both of which must be turned at once to open it. Wait until the way is clear before grabbing one of the
wheels. If you notice a Sire coming up from behind while you're turning the wheel, tap the X button to get off so you
can chainsaw the creature. When the gate opens, go down the steps in this room and look for the terminal and lever
off to the left. Switch the lever to shut down the facility's security system.
Afterwards, proceed through the doorway and head down the hall to enter the next area. A group of Locust burst
through the wall here. Toss a Frag Grenade over if you have one to spare. Shooting at the tanks on a Flamer's back
will cause it to explode. You'll know you've done enough damage to the tank once fire is shooting out from it. Just
steer clear of the Flamer to avoid taking damage from the explosion that ensues.
Continue on through the hole in the wall once the first batch of enemies has been dealt with. There is another
auto-turret down this hall, so after stepping through the work area doorway, turn left and go through the doorway
there to reach the switch that deactivates it. Hitting this switch brings up the turret in the work space across the way,
likely wiping out the enemies covering there.
Walk down to the end of the hall and grab the ammo box in the storage room on the left. Continue on into the next
area to encounter even more Drones. Finish them off and then kick in the double door to reach a circular room with
a large skylight. Just sit behind cover and wait for the razorhail to break through the skylight and kill the Grinder and
Drones in the center.
As has just been demonstrated, standing in razorhail will get you killed. You're about to head outside, so you'll have
to find a way to get to where you need to go while avoiding the hail. Walk around the area below the skylight to
avoid the falling hail and head out the door at the other end of the room.
Collectible (1/2): Once you're outside, turn right and roadie run and roll over to the building there. You'll take a bit
of damage from the razorhail, but it won't kill you. The collectible (Doctor's Journal) is in the corner at the far end of
the building's interior.
