Descending Deeper
Turntable RoomThe Cable Car drops you at the Factory. Climb the steps up from it into the Turntable Room — a Typewriter and Ink Ribbons wait in the room to the south, worth using before you go further.
- Take the lift east and follow the catwalk through the door, then south to a small computer station. Grab the Up Key from underneath the desk.
- Two Hunters now patrol the area back near the computer station — be ready for them on your way back to the save room.
- At the Turntable, use the Up Key to summon it.
Drop Your Items FirstWhatever you're not carrying when you ride the Turntable down gets left behind for good — drop everything you don't need before descending. Pack the Magnum and its rounds plus any Molotovs you have.

Meet the Prototype Tyrant
Level B4- At the bottom, head west to grab the Elevator Key, then use it on the elevator door to the east.
Prototype Tyrant (First Encounter)
Boss · HardUmbrella's early, unfinished Tyrant prototype arrives the moment you activate the elevator, carrying James Marcus's genetic signature in its half-formed body.
Attacks- Forward lunge and swipe
- Brief invulnerability while recoiling from a hit
Strategy- Circle around behind it as it advances — it's most dangerous head-on.
- It's invulnerable while recoiling from a shot, so don't waste ammo firing into that animation.
- About ten well-placed Magnum rounds should bring it down; stay patient rather than greedy.
- With it down, take the elevator to Level Three. Level One leads back to the train wreck and the Training Facility; Level Two returns to the Cable Car; Level Four continues deeper — the route forward.
