Research Laboratories

Whichever companion you picked, the goal is the same: reach the Energy Room by the large exterior elevator.

• With Gail: Control Room → Medical Room Vestibule (ignore the Compies) → Medical Room (Plug, ID Card, save) → Vestibule B1 (Gail loses Kirk to the elevator) → backtrack to the Facility Backyard (red glowing door) → Back area → Elevator Passage (two raptors — flee or sedate them, grab the Slag Bullets) → Large Elevator (Pteranodons — one grabs you and you drop your weapon; recover and reload it) → Large Elevator Control Room (DDK-L Disc; Tom is dead — take the Code-L Disc) → automatic door → Energy Passage (Pteranodons) → Energy Room.
• With Rick: Control Room → Facility Backyard → Back area (follow Rick) → Elevator Passage (two raptors, ignore them; Slag Bullets) → Large Elevator (a Pteranodon grabs you — mash the action button on Danger) → Large Elevator Control Room (Rick is with Tom; Tom gives you the Code-L Disc; take the DDK-L Disc from the table; grab the Med Pak M) → automatic door → Energy Passage (Pteranodons) → Energy Room.

Climb down. Six generators feed the blue, green and red pipes — three on the left (1-2-3) and three on the right (4-5-6). Set each generator's color:

Expand

Before leaving, push the shelf near the ladder for a Hemostat and take the B1 Crane Card.

Return to the Large Elevator and activate it. If you went with Gail, ride it straight down; if you went with Rick, first go back to the Large Elevator Control Room so both men follow.

Optionally push the shelf for a Healing Mat. Climb the ladder to the crane console and insert the B1 Crane Card. Two moves solve it:

Expand

Climb down and walk between the crates you moved. You reach several doors and a half-eaten corpse; open the left-hand door.

Cross the Material Transport Vestibule (disable the lasers; a raptor may be behind the fence) → Vestibule B1 → Medical Room Vestibule (Compies) → Medical Room (with Rick's route, Tom is dead here — take the ID Card) → up the ladder → Control Room Lobby (open the green E-Box now if you like) → up the vent → Pipe Passage A (1F) → right → Management Office Vestibule → the far door (not the red one) → Strategy Room: take the Code-E Disc, the Fingerprint Kit, and a Plug.

Management Office Vestibule → Main Entrance → the giant double door opposite the stairs → Front Entrance: use the Fingerprint Kit on the corpse to store its prints. Go back.

Main Entrance → left → Office Vestibule → double door → Office: use the ID Card on the computer. It asks for a five-digit code:

• PC: 47812
• PlayStation: 57036

Then apply the fingerprint (Yes), accept the lab access, and rewrite the card data (Yes). The computer returns your ID Card.

Office Vestibule → Main Entrance → the under-stairs door you opened earlier → Elevator Vestibule: grab the 1F Map and a Plug (red E-Box optional). Take the left elevator.

A Velociraptor drops through the ceiling on the ride — mash the action button on Danger, then kill it. Use the blue device on the door across the room:

• CODE: LFACBDOEGH / RFACTDOERI
• KEY: 345678 (the 3rd–8th letters, i.e. CDEFGH)

Remove those letters and the password is:

LABORATORY

Bring the shotgun with Slag rounds. Disable the laser fence and kill both raptors → in the Library, kill the raptor, then between the green and red sections take the Handgun Sight and combine it (the handgun becomes Custom Handgun + Sight). Grab the Med Pak M by the far door and cross.

Kill the two raptors, disable the laser, grab the Hemostat (green E-Box optional). Enter the first door → Research Meeting Room: DDK-E Disc on the table, Plug on a shelf. The blue light gives a code:

• PC: 5037
• PlayStation: 7248

Back to the Research Zone → far door → Computer Room: Plug by the door, and the Screwdriver from the red box on a chair. Use the computer with the code above, then leave the way you came.

Research Zone → Research Meeting Room → the now-open door. At the back panel you control three gases — green, blue and red. To clear the air (and spare the dying man behind the glass), set the mix in this order:

Green → Red → Blue

If you get it wrong, keep adjusting until the door opens. Go in: the man gives you CHIP B1; take the Small Key from his body (only if you did not kill him). On the way out a raptor ambushes you — mash the action button; if the door seals it off, gas it or leave it, otherwise finish it with the handgun or shotgun. Leave.

Research Meeting Room → Research Zone → far door → Library → the computer on the back wall: use CHIP B1. The card is stamped 3695 (same on PC and PlayStation) — enter it, then solve the alignment:

A green light comes on at a shelf between the blue and green aisles. Use CHIP B1 on that drawer to take the Key Card R. Leave by the same door.

Research Zone → Computer Room → the wall computer with a left and a right panel. Use the Key Card R on the right panel; when it asks for help, say Yes to call Gail. He arrives — give him the Key Card L, and on three the door opens. It is another blue DDK device:

• CODE: THE / THIRDEFNFE / BALL O N / HIRRORSGSY
• KEY: 12345 7 9

The password is:

ENERGY

Enter and save.

Inspect the table to learn what the symbols mean:

• Alpha — power the Third Energy circuit
• Beta — install the Initializer
• Gamma — install the Stabilizer

Input them in this order:

Beta → Gamma → Alpha

Push the shelf for the Shotgun Stock and combine it (the shotgun becomes Shotgun + Stock, no reload delay). Leave.

As you leave, you talk with Gail and everything locks down — that was Kirk. Near the box where you found the Screwdriver is a covered device; use the Screwdriver on it to open the circuit puzzle. There are three squares — A, B and C:

Everything unlocks. Rick says there is a safe passage behind Kirk's lab; Gail refuses it.
