Gears of War 3 - Anchored

Good morning. Wake up, and on the desk just behind you (closest to the cot) is a collectable paper. Head into the hallway and listen to a lady mention Dom. follow her into the room to the left. Hug the left wall and just after the cots will be a collectable on a dinner tray. Take that and head back into the hall. Then go to the next door on the right and open it. The next door on the right is also open. In front of Jack on the table is another collectable. Take that and head back into the hallway. Continue on and go up the stairs and around the table to go up the next flight of stairs. Take a couple of rights and talk to Anya. Follow the objective marker (the star icon when you hit left bumper), to watch poor Nash get attacked. Clear the polyps, one shot at a time, and then turn right and got up the stairs.

At the top of the stairs you meet the Drudge. He's a complex piece because he can mutate but for right now, just shoot him in his glowing belly. head to the left, shoot the drudge by the edge and then go up the stairs just to your right to activate the dock lift. Cutscene with Prescott. Then you'll be sent through the gardens to find some place to watch your new movie.

Take your time crossing the deck because the lambent are not easy to deal with, especially not when they start shooting at you. Just take cover and aim for the glowing parts. Once you've cleared them (with the help of a Raven), go to the back left corner of the deck. Once there, look up to the catwalk above and you will see a dead Gear hanging off. Shoot the body to get him to drop his tags. now that you have the tags, head for the stairs up to the catwalk on the right. go through the door at the end of the catwalk. Cutscene.

Now turn around and go back the way you came. Before you go back down the stairs, use your height advantage to clear the area of lambent. Once back on the deck, head back towards the lifts, clearing as you go. Once the area is clear, a COG will raise the lift for you. Use the lift as a way across to the other side of the deck. Cross and you'll find yourself where you first met the drudge. Go back down the stairs to where Nash met his untimely demise.

Pick up the extinguisher and put out the fire. They can be a little finicky but just aim a little higher than you think you should and if it doesn't work, readjust your aim. You'll come across some lambent as you make your way across the next hall. Hang back and take them out. At the end of the hall, turn right to save Prescott.
