System Shock 2 Hints

How can I survive the radiation in the Fluidic Tunnels?

  • 1 of 6: At first, you're just going to have to take some damage from the radiation, until you can get to a safe location.  Either use anti-radiation hypos to reduce the radiation, or use medical hypos to cure the damage that the radiation does to you.  The radiation will pass from your system after it does its damage.
  • 2 of 6: If you have it, you can use the tier-2 power of Neural Decontamination to reduce the damage significantly.
  • 3 of 6: You may also stumble upon a hazard suit.
  • 4 of 6: It's located in storage closet 4.  The closet is in the southwest part of the Fluidic Tunnels.
  • 5 of 6: You will eventually need to purge the radiation from the tunnels, in order to gain access to the nacelles.
  • 6 of 6: Once you've done that, you can safely pass through the tunnels without taking any radiation damage.
