Table of contents
Entrance
After the conversation with Chiyo, run up and hit the terminal ahead to open the doors forward.
Head through to reach an elevator. Halfway down, you’ll be ambushed by a group of enemies. Defeat them and continue riding the elevator to the bottom.
Go right until you find a tunnel leading down. It’s filled with lasers, so make your way carefully until you reach the end.
Defeat the enemies in the next area and climb up to the vent on the left leading up. Push through the lasers inside and keep moving forward until you drop into a large room with the Shop.
From here, head right and use the lift to reach the upper level. Clear the enemies, then continue right through the vent to find another lift in the next room.
Take the lift down and move right into the next section. You’ll drop into a large chamber with the first Shrine for the level.
Control Center
The Control Center is like the central point of this map. You’ll be returning here later once all the side doors are unlocked.
For now, head left and take the lift down. Keep moving left, and you’ll come across the next Shrine.
West Corridor
From the Shrine, head left to encounter a couple of enemies.
Defeat them and take the lift on the left to go up.
Ride another lift at the top to come back down on the other side.
Keep dropping down through the next few rooms until you reach one with a half-open door on the left.
Slide under the door and make your way past the enemies until you arrive at a larger chamber.
On the upper platform here, you’ll spot a Yellow Canister. Push it off the ledge and into the slot on the left.
This unlocks the gate on the upper platform. Go through it and take the lift down.
Defeat the enemies on the bottom floor and head left through the vents, avoiding the lasers as you go.
Continue through the vent until you reach a long room.
Clear out the gauntlet of enemies that spawn and proceed left.
You’ll find a lift here that takes you to the upper levels. Use it to reach the next floor.
Defeat the enemies on this floor and then move right to find another vent.
Enter the vent and keep moving forward to reach the next Shrine.
West Control Center
Head right past the Shrine to find a lift going up.
At the top, break the Terminal to lift the gate east of the West Corridor. Doing this, however, shuts down the power in the West Control Center.
Start heading back the way you came. This area is now filled with a new type of monster attached to the wall that attacks you if you get close enough. You can’t kill it, so make sure you avoid getting caught in its range.
With the Terminal destroyed, you can now access the right section of the Western region. Take the open path on the bottom floor, past an Elite Squads encounter symbol, and enter the vent.
Move through the vent, climbing up until you reach another room with a single enemy inside.
Head left to find a non-functional lift. Drop through the opening in the floor instead.
Continue forward into the next section. Hit the switch to lift the two massive doors ahead, granting access to the Containment Room Shrine. For now, there’s nothing else to do here. On the right side of the chamber, you’ll also see two more doors, but their switch is located on the far side.
Backtrack to the broken lift and this time take the upper path. Defeat the enemies, then push the Yellow Canister into the slot on the left.
Proceed upward through the open door, then head left when you get the chance to return to the West Corridor Shrine. From here, it’s a straight run to the Control Center Shrine. Take the path on the right of the Control Center and use the lift to head down.
Keep moving to hit the East Corridor Shrine.
East Corridor
From the Shrine, take a few steps forward to trigger a short cutscene. The cutscene shows a new type of environmental trap that you’ll need to watch out for throughout this area.
Once the cutscene ends, head right and ride the lift upward.
Keep using the lifts to head up until you reach a room where you’ll be ambushed. Defeat the enemies, then continue right into a vent.
Follow the vent path and drop down to another lift. Take it down and move right.
Use the temporary platforms to climb into the vent above.
Drop through the other side of the vent and continue right till you drop down to an area with some exploding bots.
Near the far end of the area, there’s an opening that lets you go down.
At the bottom, continue heading right until you reach another lift.
Ride it up and jump across two more temporary platforms to find a vent leading left.
Go through the vent to reach a Terminal. Break it to open the locked gate nearby.
Take the lift down and continue right, fighting through another wave of enemies.
The path leads you to the now-open door on the far right. Pass through to activate the next Shrine.
East Control Center
From the Shrine, jump over the crates on the right and take the lift heading down at the far end.
You’ll spot an Elite Squads symbol up ahead.
Keep moving left and using the lifts as you go deeper into the facility. The path here is fairly straightforward. Whenever you see a lift, take it to continue progressing.
Eventually, you’ll reach a large chamber with a blue squid-like monster looming in the background.
From here, keep heading left and slip through the vent to find a Blue Terminal. Breaking it unlocks the gate to a Shrine.
Take the lift on the left side of the room.
At the top, you’ll spot another lift going upward, but before you take it, continue left and drop into the vent.
Follow this path and keep heading left until you emerge on the far side of the Containment Room. Here, you can activate a switch that raises two gates, leading back to the Containment Room section.
Now return to the second lift and ride it up. On the left, you’ll find another lift that takes you to a Shop.
Afterward, continue left and hit the switch to open the locked gate. Move forward through the corridor until you arrive at the next Shrine.
East Lab
From the East Lab Shrine, head left to trigger your first boss fight in this zone against an alien creature called Galley.
After a short dialogue, the battle begins. At this stage of the game, Galley isn’t too difficult. He frequently spawns adds and uses a straightforward purple energy attack, but as long as you keep the pressure on him, he’ll eventually go down.
Once the boss is defeated, continue left to find a Green Terminal. Break it to raise the large gate blocking the left path.
With the terminal destroyed, fast travel back to the West Corridor Shrine. There’s still one more boss to deal with before you can progress further through the laboratory. From the Shrine, head left and climb into the vent above. You’ll need to run up the left wall and jump onto the Elevator to reach the vent.
Head right from the upper floor and you’ll activate a new Shrine.
West Lab
Keep heading right until you reach a large chamber where a new boss, Maufry, awaits.
After a short exchange of dialogue, the battle begins. Maufry isn’t overly complex, but he hits hard, so keep an eye on his attack patterns and punish him in between.
Once the fight is over, continue right to find another Terminal. Break it to unlock more of the facility, and you’ll loop back to the Control Center Shrine.
With all the Terminals destroyed and the gates unlocked, return to the West Corridor Shrine. Start heading right from here, and you’ll eventually run into the final boss encounter of the Ene Corp Laboratory zone.
The Twins
The final fight of the zone pits you against a duo boss called The Twins. You’re basically going up against both Maufry and Galley, only this time you’ll have to face them together.
On their own, each boss is manageable, as you’ve already seen. But paired up, they become far more dangerous. They’ll attack you at the same time, and can even combine their moves to take away big chunks of your health bar.
You’ll want to be a bit more defensive this time around since you’re fighting two bosses. Use the space and keep the arena clear of additional enemies and eventually the boss will go down.
Once you defeat The Twins, you get a new ability called Mijin, and the stage clears.
