Essentials[edit]
From the start use the switch in front of you to expand the area. On the opposite of the wall with the switch is the blue keycard and a second switch, which lower the barrage in front of the blue door. Pass through the blue door and follow the hallway to the end. Short before the end the floor lower and reveal a switch, which opens the door to the red keycard. Run back, and take the left way before the blue door and lower the platform. This guides you to the first red door. Enter the open area, and step on top of the small crate, to get access to this area. Head to the crates with the blur artifact, grab it, and enter the room behind the door. Follow the way to the yellow keycard, grab it and go back to the red door. Head to the blue door and take the other platform behind it, which guide you to the second red door. Go straight forward to enter the room with the plasma rifle, enter the stairs and use the switch, which open the passage to a big bloodpool. Turn right, to the direction where you find the invulnerability. The switch at the end open the access to the exit switch. Use it, and take one of the teleporters. Each of them leads to another sector, so go from your teleport destination to the first red door, and take the door behind the crates with the medikit on top. Pass the room with the toxic wastepit and the blue armor to reach the yellow door. Open it and follow the way to the end. Right from the exit sign is the exit switch.
