Now is the fun part. We get to control a brumak! It will handle almost the same as Marcus, without the fancy movements and cover mechanics. The moving around, aiming and firing remain the same.
Make your way forward, wiping out the pair of reavers that fly towards you and then chasing the small army of drones in front of you as they retreat. A corpser should appear on a platform to the left and retreat, leaving a few drones and a boomer here that you can kill. Continue down the tunnel after the drones. Two more boomers will show their audacity by trying to stop you from the ground. Disintegrate them and then kill the group of three reavers that will fly in to attack you.
Continue following the drones down the tunnel and they will escape into a small cave before a giant gate. As you approach the gate, two more reavers will land and try to stop you. Put them out of their misery and hit ‘B’ when prompted near the gate to force it open. As soon as you exit the gate, destroy the lights in front of you and to the left and the right, the locust will use them to target you. After the lights are down take out the turret on the raised platform to your right and the boomer halfway up the guard tower slightly to your left. Next destroy the other troika far up on the left behind the boomer you just killed.
Make your way into the room and as you pass between the central spire and a stalactite look to the platform on your left. Quickly take out the pair of boomers here and as you are doing so, three reavers will fly into the room from the tunnel on the right. Deal with them and continue. As you enter the tunnel, a corpser will jump through the wall to the left and pounce on you, thrash the ‘B’ button to defeat it. Carry on, in the next open area there will be a series of grinders on the platform to your right and a pair of reavers will land in front of you in an attempt to impede tour progress. Clear the room and walk up to the gate to melee it down.
Stay in the doorway and kill the grinder in front of you. Target and destroy the two missile turrets on the platforms behind the grinder and then head into the room. As you do you will take fire from a boomer and a grinder from the top floor of the building to your right. Take them out and continue around the blockage in front of you. As you do four more boomers will appear on the lowest floor of the building to your right, smash their brains off with a missile cluster and continue.
As you enter the long hallway again, one more boomer will come through the door of a building to your left. Likewise on the next balcony on the left a group of brave drones will also attack, at the same time, a grinder on the stairs opposite will join in and a reaver will drop down in front of you to attack. Kill the drones first, then the reaver and finally the the grinder. Now continue. As you reach a large pool of emulsion, look up to the right to see a beast barge. Shoot it in the area that kind of looks like a face at the front to destroy it. Cut a left turn and continue along the banks of the emulsion river. Continue through the final gate.
As you enter you will get an objective to destroy the three columns holding up the cavern. That’s easy enough, destroy the one directly in front of you until a reaver appears, take it down and move further into the area. You will see quite a few seeders in here and they will be constantly launching nemecyst at you. Take down the nemecyst as they come at you and kill the seeders when you get the chance. Destroy the second column and make your way around the right side of it making sure to watch out for and take down any of the reavers flying around and any more nemecyst that appear. Destroy the final column to see a cut-scene.
You will regain control on a helicopter circling the now lambent brumak equipped with a hammer of dawn. Using the hammer, keep the laser focused on the brumak until it dies to watch one final cut-scene.
Congratulations, you just completed Gears of War 2 - Huzzahs are in order!
