Gears of War 2 Campaign Strategy Guide

ACT V: AFTERMATH

CH. 4: TENUOUS FOOTING & CH. 5: CLOSURE

[Make it to the bottom of the sinkhole.]

Jacinto's definitely seen better days.

[Use the cranes to cross the chasm.]

Control the crane with both analog sticks: left = vertical movement, right = horizontal. Move the load to the far left to pick up Dom, then deposit him in the middle of rubble on the lower level. When the 2nd crane is lowered, Marcus will be able to get across, but laydown some cover fire if you wanna speed things up

Once you're across the gap, watch for grappling hooks to get a bead on some more incoming Locust, and use your rifle to put down the incoming Mauler. Picking up his Boomshield is a good idea as always, since you'll be facing Tickers and a Flame Boomer in just a bit.

Go to the bottom of the structure, and you'll see an unexpectedly convenient way down into the pit of the sinkhole.

[Find a way into the cavern.]

[Escape the burning building.]

After the Brumak brings down the house, you'll have to vacate the room before the fire cooks you and Dom alive. Dom will take you to the elevator and hit the switch to get moving. After a few seconds, you'll face another minor obstical, the Brumak is literally right on top of you.

[Shoot the Brumak pilot.]

With a quick bullet to the Brumak pilot's face, you'll be one step closer to your objective. How will you get down there? Marcus seems to have a crazy idea that just might work.

[Collapse Jacinto.]

Get comfy, You're in control of the Brumak from here on out. This is one intense ride.

Machine gun the Locusts Drones that scramble in your presence. Anything bigger than Boomers should be greeted with a round of missiles, or you can just melee attack if you're close enough. When the Locust start spotlighting on you, use your missiles and blow up the towers and avoid getting targeted.

[Beatdown the Corpser.]

After a few Reavers, you'll have to face a Corsper, but now the odds are in Your favor: hammer down on the melee button to make quick work of this battle.

[Destroy the torture barge.]

Missile fire will make easy work of the barge, but the real challenge is still far ahead, so the big head yet. After taking out the next door, its time to finally sink Jacinto.

[Destroy the 3 columns to create an opening for the choppers.]

The only way to lay Jacinto to rest, on the Locust Hollow, is to blow up the 3 columns directly in front of you. Don't spend too much time trying to shoot down skyward Locust, but you'll still need to be careful. Immulsion-infected grubs will crash land in your immediate vicinity.

[Kill the Immulsion-infected Brumak.]

This is the Final stop of the Ass-Kicking Express!

You'll finally get your hands on the Hammer of Dawn, and this weapon is perhaps the easiest to use out of the whole bunch. Just keep your finger pressed down on the trigger, and keep your laser trained on the mutated Brumak. After some extended exposure to satellite fire, the huge, pulsating monster will start to burst at the seams. Stand Clear, sit back, and enjoy the closing scenes. CONGRATULATE YOURSELF on beating Gears of War 2!
