Quake 4 Hints
Now where do I find the barrel sterilization controls?
1 of 6: Your failed attempt to activate the barrel process unlocked the nearby sterilization door, so try it.
2 of 6: Make your way along the walkways in the large outdoor area, fighting Strogg as you go, until you reach a couple of doors that lead to another large outdoor area.
3 of 6: After dealing with a gladiator and some Strogg-ified marines in the second outdoor area, find the door that leads to a room with lots of barrel stacks and a health station in one corner.
4 of 6: The next room is the Sterilization Control Room (as Sasaki will tell you), so look around for some controls.
5 of 6: In the back of the room is a cluster of control panels, including an interactive one with a "system reset" button you need to click on.
6 of 6: After a brief delay, the system will come online and start operating normally.
