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)
Umbrella'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.
