Tips for "Xidia"

Map 4: Xidia-Mine

Scenario: You have descended into the mines in order to make your way to the rendezvous point. Upon entering the area, you find that the miners have been overrun by the same enemies you have already been facing. You also discover a danger that not even your enemies knew about.

Tip 4.1: The Tarydium Mining Tool may look and feel like a Stinger, but its dynamics are completely different. For one thing, it can only hold 100 rounds. For another thing, it it much more powerful. Don't underestimate a Skaarj Trooper that wields this weapon. A burst of 5 rounds from this weapon at close range can do almost as much damage as a direct hit from a flak shell!

Tip 4.2: I have only 1 round left in my flak cannon, but I'm not worried. Look carefully around this room and you'll find a poorly-hidden cache of eightballs and flak shells. However, you're also likely to run into Skaarj Harvester carrying a mining tool. Fair warning!

Tip 4.3: Warning--ambush is imminent! Once you deal with the immediate problem, here's another one that I'll solve for you myself. Are you familiar with "Rocket Jumping"? It will help you get into that window on your right side. Personally, I thing it's a bit less damaging if you use the alt-fire of the ripper instead of a rocket.

Tip 4.4: Hmmm...a red X. Well, I think it's as obvious as it can get; you have to blast through it. Unfortunately, you'll need to find a detonator and some explosives to do the job. No problem. After all, the people ahead of you were already going to blast through this area. Just find their gear and use it. Just remember not to linger after you set everything up; the explosion might be hazardous to your health.

Tip 4.5: Okay, you now have essentially two choices: by land and by water. The land path will get you to where you want to go, but I would still suggest checking out the water path first. Swim toward the waterfall, and you just might like what you find there. "Sunken Treasure" really is an adequate term for it.

Tip 4.6: Oh yeah, there's one last thing. If you're wondering where to go next, just think back to the fact that you've already destroyed two walls, each one marked with an X. Look around for number three; it's in that riverside cave somewhere.
