Uranium Mines Walkthrough Part 1
There is a boarded up passage just to the left of the point at
which you start this level. Use dynamite or your crossbow to blow
the boards off. Doing so will open up the passage and expose a
door. Go through the door into the main drilling room (don't jump
down the mine shaft or you'll die). At the far end of this room
is an alcove with a switch in it. Activate the switch and then go
back out to the main entrance. Back at the main entrance, you'll
find that a supply room is now open. Just inside the doorway on
the wall there is a swtich. Activating that switch will open the
wire gate in front of the elevator. Once the gate is open, take
the elevator down to the next level of the mine.
When the elevator stops, you'll be in a small cave. Look for a
partially obscured ladder embedded in one wall. Climb this up to
a secret alcove where you can obtain a crossbow. Drop back down
and then follow the main tunnel to the next section of the big
drill. Here, look for a crack in the wall to the right. Blow up
this wall to open up the passage ahead. Follow this passage until
you reach a room with mine carts moving back and forth.
Taking care not to get hit by the carts, navigate this room
and follow the passage on the far side till you reach a set of
tracks leading downhill. Follow these tracks until you reach an L-section
with two more moving carts. Again, taking care not to get hit by
the carts, follow the first one until you can sidestep onto the
next section of track. Now, follow the second cart until you can
drop off the right of the track to the area below.
Here you need to look for a ladder that will take you up to a
platform overlooking these two moving mine carts. After the 2nd
cart has gone past, drop back down and continue following the
tracks. Eventually, you will reach a stationary mine cart, beyond
which is a mine cart moving back and forth. Hop up on the
stationary cart, then jump up on the wooden beam above you. From
this wooden beam, hop to the next beam. Once the cart has gone by
beneath you, it is safe to drop back down and continue following
the tracks. If you'd like an extra challenge, jump to the third
beam and then look to your left for a rocky outcropping. Jump to
this spot and drop down the hole to the secret cave below. Here
you'll find a switch that will open up half of the bars holding
the Vixen Teat Gun (the gun is located beyond a low passage in
the water area below the main tracks...the switch there controls
the other half of the bars).
After you've navigated past the last moving mine cart, you'll
come to a broken section of tracks that is above a pool of water.
Continue forward into the large cavern with a bridge crossing
some more water. Entering this room will spring a trap, and
several Billy Ray's will charge out of exploding walls, so be
ready. Once you've defeated all of the enemies here, look for a
brick lined passage leading off the main cavern. This passage
will lead to a room with a crate in the corner. On the crate is
the key that operates the elevator down to the next level of the
mines.
Now, to find your way back out of this area you'll need to
drop into the water below the bridge. Explore the underwater
areas till you find a cavern with water flowing down into another
lower passage. Drop down the small waterfall and then immediately
turn to face the way you came. Just to the left of the waterfall
you'll see another tunnel. Follow this into a small cave and
climb up the rocks there. Use the ladder above the doorway to
climb up to the level above.
Eventually, you'll come out on a rocky shelf overlooking the
mine tracks. Follow the ledge there around to the left until you
reach a gap. Jump the gap and continue along the ledge up into
the caverns above. Look for a cave with a door and a switch (marked
AREA 11). Unlock the door with the switch, then go through and
back to the main entrance of this section of the mines. You can
now use the key to activate the 2nd lift and go down to the next
level below. End Part 1.
Uranium Mines Walkthrough Part 2
After retrieving the first key, take the elevator down to the
next level of the mine. When the elevator comes to a stop, follow
the tunnel to the left. This will lead to an intersection. Ahead
of you will be a passage blocked by a wire gate. To the right
will be a passage blocked by some boards. To the left is an open
passage.
Climb the boards that are blocking the passage to your right.
At the top you'll find a small secret area. Explore this area,
then drop back down and follow the open passage to the left. This
will lead down hill and eventually stop at a dead end. Here
you'll find a dynamite plunger on the ground. You'll need to
crouch and hit your activate key on the plunger (before doing
this though, it's a good idea to have RUN MODE turned on, and
even have some moonshine ready if needed).
The plunger will trigger a cave in, so run as fast as you can
back up the passage. When all of the quaking and shaking has
finished, go back down the tunnel to the site of the cave-in.
Here you'll discover a new passage has opened up. Beyond this
passage is a room with another plunger. Activate this plunger in
the same manner as the first (don't worry, no cave-in this time),
then make your way back up to the main intersection (you'll
probably have to do a bit of fighting between these steps). At
the main intersection, you'll discover that one corner of the
rock has been blown away to expose the large mine drill. Embedded
against the far wall next to the drill is a switch. This will
open the wire gate blocking the forward passage of the
intersection.
After unlocking the gate, continue down the forward tunnel.
This tunnel will end at a mine cart positioned below a chute.
From this point, take the tunnel immedieately to your left and
follow it up and around to the room above. In the center of this
room is the upper portion of the chute. Hop down into the chute
and you'll land in the cart below (where you'll retrieve the 2nd
key).
After obtaining the second key, follow the tunnel back up to
the main entrance where the two elevators are. Continue past the
elevators to another large cavernous area (and another exploding
Billy Ray trap). In this cavern is a mining machine with a switch
on the side of it. The second key will activate this switch,
which will cause the machine to bore a hole through the rock wall
of the cavern.
Using your crouch key, crawl through this newly created hole.
In the room beyond, you'll find the third key. Obtain the key and
go back the way you came. Use the third key on the next elevator
and ride down to the last level of the mines. End Part 2.
Uranium Mines Walkthrough Part 3
After obtaining the 3rd key, ride the elevator down to the
lowest portion of the mine. You'll end up at a natural cavern
with a pool of water and a waterfall. Next to the waterfall is a
ladder. On one side of the cavern is a tunnel marked SECRIT ALEYN
BASS. If you go down this side tunnel you'll trigger a very rapid
cave-in. Many people will want to avoid this altogether, but if
you feel up to the challenge, there is a Goo-Goo Cluster and some
saw-blade ammo at the end of the tunnel. To successfully retrieve
them, you'll need to activate your moonshine just as the cave-in
starts. You should have just enough time to grab the goods and
then dash out of the tunnel.
Whether or not you decide to go after the Goo-Goo Cluster, you
will need to climb the ladder along side of the waterfall. At the
top of the waterfall is another large cavern. In an alcove in the
wall is a switch. Activate this switch and then drop back into
the lower cavern. Now, walk through the center of the waterfall (directly
below the outcrop of rock) and into a secret tunnel beyond. This
tunnel will lead to the actual secret base.
When you enter the Alien Base, you will be sealed inside (along
with some very angry aliens). After dispatching all of the
enemies, exploring the area will reveal four central switches,
and a fifth switch in a lower room. The four main switches are
all marked with a + sign, while the fifth switch is marked with
an = sign. Solve the puzzle by arranging the switches so that 1+1+1+1=4.
After all of the switches are in the correct position, a
central chamber will open up, revealing the main drill site. In
this room is a switch marked EXIT. Activate that switch, and then
go back out the way you came (the entrance should now be open
again). Ride all of the elevators back up to the main starting
point of this level. You'll find that the doors of the mine are
now open, and Bubba is there waiting for you. Grab your crowbar
and give him a whack upside his head to end the level.
End Walkthrough.
