System Shock 2 Hints
How can I survive the radiated pools of water?
1 of 6: As with any radiation source, there are several things you can do to minimize the damage.
2 of 6: Anti-radiation hypos will help, but you're going to take a lot of damage, so you may not have enough of them.
3 of 6: You can also look for protective armor.
4 of 6: There's a worm skin armor, which reduces radiation damage a bit, on a body floating in the first radiated "room". If you have the necessary research skill, you can try to equip it and cut down on some of the damage.
5 of 6: Finally, if you're still having trouble, you can use the tier 2 Neural Decontamination psi power. This will reduce damage by 80% -- making the water much more survivable.
6 of 6: There are even some cyber modules and upgrade units that will help you learn that power if you don't have it already.
