Section 2: Crossing the Train Yard (d1_trainstation_06)
  • 1 of 6: Soon after you start this chapter section, your progress will be blocked by a boarded-over doorway.
  • 2 of 6: Past the boarded doorway, move along until your path is blocked by a large wooden crate.
  • 3 of 6: It's another wooden obstacle that you can crowbar-bash to get past. (You could just squeeze by it, but bashing it's funner.)
  • 4 of 6: Carefully drop down to the ground from the torn-up bit of fencing that has a big hole in it (but only after saving your game).
  • 5 of 6: You're now going to have to make your way across the train yard while under constant fire from several metro cops.
  • 6 of 6: After escaping the train yard, you'll go down some dark flights of stairs (use the flashlight to see) and end up in a dark hallway where Chapter 3: Route Kanal will begin.
