Summary
The marine continues progressing through Erebus complex. Quite early into this level the marine is confronted by the first Hell Hunter, the Helltime Hunter, who can move from one place to another at very fast speed. The marine uses his grabber to catch the energy balls fired by the two ancient ancient located in the chamber and launch them at the Hunter. After he successfully hits it several times, it burns away and the marine acquires the first power for the Artifact - the ability to slow down time.

After defeating the Hunter, the marine has to go through an ancient machine with doors that repeatedly close at very high speeds by evading them using his newly acquired power. In the next room he acquires a power cell which he will need to use to power up the elevator that will lead him to level 3 of the complex. The marine enters and large chamber containing both the elevator and the control room on the second floor. The marine has to go first to a side room to find the PDA to give him access to the ladder leading to the second floor, then go there, power up the generator with the power cell and activate the lift via a control panel. After doing that, the marine returns to the lfit and rides it to level 3.
