Quake 4 Hints

Past that dead end, how do I finally get to the rooftop security station?

  • 1 of 5: Use the energy-core lift that's past the dead end to get up to the big-viewport room on the tower's top floor.
  • 2 of 5: Check both doors to see which one leads to the elevator to the roof, then take it up.
  • 3 of 5: As I'm sure you've suspected for quite some time, your opponent for this rooftop combat will be the huge, flying network guardian creature.
  • 4 of 5: After the guardian finally dies, the forcefield protecting the security console out on its little platform will drop.
  • 5 of 5: Now you can use this one last console to finally disable the Nexus Core's security.
