Quake 4 Hints
Where do I need to go after shutting down the defense grid?
1 of 8: Your eventual goal is to get back to Lt. Voss and the rest of your squad, but that won't happen for several levels, so your immediate goal is to get to this level's exit.
2 of 8: Wait in the defense grid control room until the nearby unlocked door is opened by a helpful grunt.
3 of 8: Reward him with a burst from the ol' nailgun (or whatever), then move on to the room with all the machinery that keeps going up and down.
4 of 8: Kill the Strogg who attack you, then take the lift on the other side of the room up to another moving-machinery room.
5 of 8: Go through several more rooms (and get your first glimpse of a gladiator) until you reach another lift.
6 of 8: Take it down and fight your way through another room, not neglecting to check for supplies right before you move on from it. (TIP: If you're not low on health and armor, wait to get these supplies until after you fight the gladiator.)
7 of 8: Keep going along the only available path to meet the gladiator you saw earlier. He's certainly glad to see you!
