The Eldora Well




 * Description : In this level it is completely underground, you'll have to go through a lot of water, the monsters are the same as the last two levels, you'll meet the Sliths here though. The well goes right under the Glathriel Village and leads out to it.

Walkthrough
Your leap of faith has led you into the depths of the Eldora Well. This underground complex is puzzlingly devoid of water considering the number of pools on the planet's surface. Maybe you can restore the water then find a way to move on from here.

You start at the foot of the well shaft, in a small chest-high water pool. Ahead, a step leads out into the dry well tunnels. Climb out of the gunge.

As you step into the storage tunnels, bars close behind you as a Tentacle attacks from the roof to the right. Kill it then look around - a tunnel leads ahead deeper into the complex while containers lie in dead ends to either side and a human corpse lies ahead. Read his log.[1]

When you're done, destroy the barrels on the left to get a Clip and a Flare. Go along to the other end of this cross-tunnel to get two Nali Healing Fruit, a Clip and an Automag, plus a wooden crate by a Nali skeleton that reveals a Flashlight. When you're fully kitted out, go off down the large tunnel that goes deeper into the dark complex. You will be approaching another junction; watch out for the Krall asleep at the junction who wakes up and makes an attack as you approach.

Look out for the Gasbags that come out from the holes in the ceiling, there will be an ASMD Shock Rifle to the left in a barrel. Go up the elevator when you're done. Once you go up the elevator, there will be three triggers you need to activate to open the door to the next area, afterwards get ready to kill a bunch of mosquitoes that will come out.

When you exit there will be a Brute waiting for you, along with a couple of Manta those shouldn't be a problem. There is a Flak Cannon in front of a large rock formation near where the Brute was waiting for you. I recommend you go behind the rock, there will be a dead guy behind it that was mauled by something -probably a brute- he has a translator message [2], near the dead man there is a box with a shield in it. Jump into the well full of water after you're done.

You should have SCUBA gear so don't worry, you won't take a long time to get out of there unless you do something wrong, swim upwards when you get to the end of the tunnel that has a blocked path with a hole in it, there will be a Slith above you, don't waste your time trying to pull the handle in the water, it doesn't work, head towards the room with four pathways two on each side, swim to the left ones, there will be another blocked path with a hole in it, watch for the two Sliths guarding it, after you killed them swim through the narrow pathway and upwards until you find the surface, then go through the narrow pathway and jump into the other side of water, swim up after that and you'll find the surface. Jump in the boat and you'll go to the next level.

Translator messages

 * 1) "LOG: J. Walden: No sign of anyone yet. It's getting dark again. Going to camp out near the well until morning. Well seems empty, there may be a way out. maybe I'll find the others."
 * 2) "LOG: S. Brown: The mountains are becoming harder and harder to hike through. Getting tired. Just discovered a well nearby. About to investigate. It's guarded by brutes, but I should be able to slip undetected."
