System Shock 2 Hints

I've gotten through the second sphincter. Where do I go next?

  • 1 of 2: You will shortly come near a pool of water at the bottom of a steep drop.
  • 2 of 2: Once you think you're ready, you should jump into that pool.  The drop is safe, but be warned that there is no way to return once you jump down.  I recommend that you save your game now, since this next bit of the game can be very tough.  (Well, you can use the tier-5 teleport psi power and return here, but that's assuming you have the power.)
