Soulforge Revisited
Guide to Objectives
1. Find out what happened to the secret agent
The body of the secret agent is in full view on the right as you emerge
from the vines. Read the scroll in his hand to complete this objective
and receive another:
2. Find all five of the secret agent's reports
Report #1
Walk South to the banners then East to the area with the elevator to Bay C. The report is in a niche on the East wall.
Report #2
This report is tucked between the
generators situated between Bays B and C. You get another
objective - find the terrorist bomb store.
Report #3
Take the western route from the start
room and Walk north past Bay D. Beware of the camera en route which
controls a turret! The report is in the next room on the
right, beside the liquid tank against the north wall. You get a new
objective - locate the secret terrorist entrance.
Report #4
Take the eastern route from the start
and walk north. There is a camera en route which controls two combat
bots, so take the aerial route to avoid being spotted. The
report is up on a ledge on the eastern side (opposite Storage Room 1).
Report #5
This is in the NE corner of Bay E (under the metal staging). You get a new objective:
3. Enter the Control Room and switch off the cameras
First make your way to the passageway south of the lecture hall. (You
can head east just to the south of the bunkroom and then turn north, or
else take the NW exit from the Water Tank room.)
You now have two choices - the direct route or via the turret room office.
Direct route
Pick open the doors on the left, walk
past the golden child to the bay and climb the ladder on the right.
Follow the walkway to the centre of the room. (Crouch and
creep to avoid alerting the cameras.)
Turret room office
There are two routes to get there:
a. The simplest is to walk through the
lecture hall to the NE corner, go down the passage, turn left in the
turret room, climb the ladder and follow the walkways to
the office.
b. The other way is to climb the ladder
in the chute opposite the double doors and go along the metal tunnel to
the first exit on the left. Jump across to the walkways
and follow them round to the office. Climb up through the vines into a
circular tunnel - you can see a blue light at the far end. Go along the
tunnel to emerge on top of a machine casing. Hop down
onto the walkway.
4. Find the terrorist bomb store
Make your way to the recycling bay. The gound level route involves
ducking through some circular saw blades, or you can take the secret
passage from the control room (one of the switches to the right
of the deactivation button opens the door). When you get to the bay,
cross the bridge on the south side, climb the ladder into the wall
recess and operate the switch. This opens the bomb store
door in the SE corner.
5. Locate the terrorist secret entrance
You need to make your way to the lowest level of the north complex. Go
down the ramp west of the SW exit from the water tanks to the lower
level then take the elevator on the east side down to
Exploratory Inventing. Head west until you come to the edge above an
even lower level. Climb down the ladder, pull the big red lever in the
SW corner of this area, then climb back up the ladder and
go south.
Enter one of the two hatches that are now open, drop down to the room
below and make your way to the SW corner. Flip the switch behind
the turbine on the right and the secret entrance will
open. Walk in a few paces to complete the objective.
6. To mark the secret entrance, leave Dewdrop on the grating outside the closed door (Optional)
To do this you need to find Dewdrop. She is in the control room in a recess on the south side at the top of the ramp.
7. Find and steal the priceless Keeper Medallion (Optional)
Go down the ramp to the lower level then cross the room to the small electrical devices east of
the moving conveyor belts. Flip the switch behind the
right-hand device and a secret door in the NE corner of the room will
open. The medallion is inside.
8. Signal 'safe to enter' by going out of the Bay A doors
This is straightforward except that the doors will not open until:
You have found all 5 of the secret agent's reports
The cameras are switched off
You have found the bomb store
You have found the secret entrance
You have achieved the loot total
There are no combat bots active
Guide to Secrets
Secret #1. In the start room, climb up to the ledge above the odometer via a
vine arrow into the grating. Drop into the passage and flip the switch
on the wall to emerge in Bay E.
Secret #2. In Bay E there are two short right-angled passages in the walls
opposite the cameras. There is a sceptre in a niche in the wall
of the passage near the lava.
Secret #3. Climb up the north side of the North Apse by jumping from ledge to
ledge and using the ladders in the rooms. Eventually you will need to
use a vine arrow to get to the top ledge. Climb the
ladder in this room, jump across to the platform and enter the metal
tunnel. (You can use the elevator on the way down.)
Secret #4. This is the switch which opens the lower door of the secret passage from the Control Room to the machine bay below.
Secret #5. As you leave the terrorist secret entrance, look up to your
right. Flip the switch to open up a secret passage in the far
wall. Climb the ladders at the far end, then flip the switch
and emerge at the bottom of the ramp.
