Quake 4 Hints
How can I get through the big fancy room with all the pipes and balconies?
1 of 11: You'll be able to view this room through a large window soon after leaving the big freak-out fight area.
2 of 11: Across from the window is a little alcove with a ladder.
3 of 11: Climb down it to a crawlway that'll get you to some big pipes.
4 of 11: Make your way carefully along on the big pipes and into the fancy Nexus room, then drop down onto the large balcony.
5 of 11: Both of its doors are locked, so you're going to have to find some more pipes to walk along.
6 of 11: TIP: If you need armor, find the corner of the balcony where you can jump over the railing and walk along a downward-slanting pipe. Follow the pipes all the way around the room to find the armor underneath the downward-slanting pipe, then go all the way back.
7 of 11: To move on to the next balcony, carefully jump over this balcony's rail and onto the upward-sloping pipes.
8 of 11: Follow them along to reach a small alcove with a ladder.
9 of 11: Climb it to get to another balcony with a locked door.
10 of 11: >From the corner of this balcony, you can hop off onto a pipe that leads under a third balcony.
11 of 11: Use the upward-slanting pipe past that to get up onto the third balcony, which *finally* has an unlocked door!
