Underground Garden
From your starting position, immediately turn around and look up. Shoot down the shiny bit for treasure [Ruby (Square)]. Avoid the raised. Circular platform in the middle and move around as far as you can to the right. You should see a metal walkway leading to the next area, underneath this walkway in the water; you will see [BSAA Emblem 1]. Look straight up from here, and shoot another shiny spot for another treasure [Emerald (Pear)], head back to the start and make your way around the middle section to the metal walkway. Pick up the emerald you shot down and continue through the door in front of you.
Head through the door on the left for some ammo, and then continue through the door at the end of the hallway. After a quick scene, head through the room and out the other side, follow the hallway all the way around and use the wheel to open the door. Head through the door and pull the switch. Smash the glass and move through the room full of caged animals to the left.
Move slowly into the hallway and a pair of lickers will emerge from the glass enclosure on the left. These bad boys are tough and can grab you with their tongues if you are not too careful. You can dodge the licker attacks with button prompts on the bottom of the screen. Eliminate them and you may be lucky enough to be rewarded treasure [Lion Heart]. Continue through the door at the far end of the licker room. In the next hallway, turn right into a side room for machine gun [AK-47]. Continue along the hallway and up the stairs to the next area.
Open the door at the end of the hallway and you will be in another hallway, this time flanked by a pair of glass enclosures. Each room has several lickers in it and they will attack you immediately if you make too much noise. So make your way through the room slowly and turn left through the door and continue until you reach the large metal door you need Sheva's help to open.
As you open the door, the lickers will be alerted to your presence and will attack. Run to the end of the hallway and turn around, fire at the lickers as they come through the door. If they start to overwhelm you, continue down the hallway until you reach the elevator, then turn around and pick them off as they round the corner. Once they are all dead, examine the elevator door.
The elevator will start coming your way, but will take about a minute or so to arrive, and in the meantime a steady stream of lickers will appear from the hallway you entered from. Hold them off until you hear the elevator arrive and then jump inside to continue.
As you get off the elevator, stock up on ammo and equip some grenades before heading into the large room.
Boss: U-8
This boss looks like a giant crab with nasty, scythe-like appendages which he will use to make your life difficult. He will constantly move around the platform, and will swing at you if you stay in front of him for too long. The boss will also at times retreat up high and summon a group of smaller insects which can be killed for ammo and healing items.
To defeat the boss, you need to have a grenade equipped. To start with, look at the pair of large legs supporting it on the platform. The red, dangling pieces of flesh under the joint in its arms is its weak spot. Focus your fire on them enough and the boss will temporarily collapse. As he does a short cut-scene will initiate showing his weak spot - his mouth. Take the opportunity to run up to his mouth and toss a grenade in - there should be a button command to do so when you are close enough.
The grenade will explode and remove part of its exoskeleton exposing a soft part of its head. This becomes its new weak spot. Firing continuously at this will kill him. You can however make it easier, by repeating the previous step several times (shooting the arms and lobbing a grenade in his mouth), to expose even more of the weak spot, making it easier to target. Either way, just blast away at the red part of his head and avoid any attacks he throws at you until he is dead.
After this bad boy hits the dust, the level will be complete.
