Strategy Guide #3: First Level Colored Combination Console (SPOILERS!!!)

[Dusty_Miller11]

Kill the officer in the room, take his security key, then ulock the door.

[RNC]

The symbols are always aligned vertically. The moment I finish hitting all 3 codes, I go back to the green middle cube and then figure my way back out to the red cube where I started.

Hi, I recently got Jedi Knight 2 "Jedi Outcast, and I am only on the first level but I am embarassingly stuck at the coloured codes, I have two in my datapad already, but I need help finding the green one, please tell me where to find it Thanks.

 

I couldn't find it either... You have to make sure that when you discover the terminal where you call for help and she gets pinned down, you go back, help her out and make sure she follows you to the terminal where she will open the door across the corridor. The green code is in there. I can't remember 'her' name but you know who i mean. I had to start the level again though as she wouldn't follow me and kept pacing up and down other that that, i've only been playing it for a few hours and i think its great!!

[ZBomber]

I only rember being stuck here for 10 minutes. It was kind of easy to find, since I like to go every before I end the level.

[Cygnusx3]

For some reason, I didn't have much trouble with entering the codes either. But what is absolutely maddening is what happens next! Jan is at the console, I enter a corridor that eventually leads to the "refrigerator room," I climb on the giant arm and make it to the second floor (found 2 secret places on that level) enter the area where the giant bug zapper is. Kill off the rest of the guards but that is it. I have been stuck in this area for a WEEK! There just doesn't seem to be any way out. One would think that you could climb from the ledge to the room where the guards were exterminated earlier, but no way. Can't jumb in. The huge hall on the lower level is no apparent help after you knock out the three mounted guns and the guards. I have been back and forth, back and forth. PLEASE! can someone help?! You are my only hope, Skywalker.

here's a walkthrough:

Walkthrough for Level 1 (kejim_post)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Starting Off

 

You and Jan start off behind a fighter, a small distance away

from two stormtroopers. Jan will carefully walk forward, and peek

around some crates. Follow her and check out where the troops are.

Before engaging them, look to the left and you will see a door. Inside

is a small room with a bunch of crates and a shelf; tripmines are

blocking it. Back away from the door and shoot the mines with your

blaster. Don't worry, the troopers won't notice. You can pick up the

blaster pack ammo, and there is an instant use healthpack there too.

After this, climb up on the crates to the top of the room, where you

will find the first secret, a health canister and battery. Exit the

room and move back towards the stormtroopers. Kill them, and then walk

around the small ledge in front of the ship. Around the corner

you will find an imperial officer, and stairs leading to a loading

platform with 5 additional stormtroopers. (There is also one up on the

ledge shooting down at you...kill him and enjoy the first falling death

of the game =). Notice that there is a gun turret on the platform, but

it is offline. After killing the troopers, Jan will attempt to break

through the main cargo door, commenting that your blasters will be

ineffective. You offer to find another way around. Shortly after your

conversation, three more troopers will emerge from around the corner to

the left of the door. Kill em, and walk around where they came from.

Go through the doorway and you will find a small room with a shield

regenerator (the small trash can with green lights. Press the use

button to charge your shields.) Jan reminds you to search any officers

for keys...this is important, and will be a task you frequently

have to accomplish throughout the game. Go through the door to find

an officer with, surprise surprise, a supply key! Notice that you

receive a message saying that it is a "supply" key. This type of

key will only open small locked storage crates. To unlock doors, you

will need an actual "security" key, usually found on higher ranking

officers. After killing this one, move to the lift and press the

button to ride up. You will now be on the ledge where you shot the

trooper who fell. Look to your right, and go into the room...you will

see a thin lift along the right wall. Take it up into the control room.

Along the window you will see a panel with a picture of the turret from

the platform. Push it, and you will see a short cutscene of the turret

powering up, and an automated voice saying that the security system has

been activated. The alarms will start going off. Jan comments that

the door still wasn't open, but that she's got company...three

stormtroopers have come out onto the ledge. Go back down and wipe em

out, then make your way down to the platform again. Hop in the turret,

turn around and shoot the door, blowing it open. Follow Jan on to the

lift inside. You will pass a checkpoint, and the lift begins to move

downward.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The Blue Section

 

You are now in the "blue section" of the base (it's not apparent

at this point, but it's easier to wade through this guide if it's

somewhat sectioned off) Once at the door at the bottom, you will

instruct Jan to wait and cover your back. Make sure to notice the

lights on the door. They are green, which means the door is (usually)

open. Locked doors will have two red lights on them. I said "usually"

open because in this case, you have to press the button next to it, and

it will open. Inside is a long hallway with a green-light door to your

immediate right, a security room with a window to your left, and a

stormtrooper at the end. Once you move forward to kill the trooper,

five more will emerge from the door on the right. Jan will come through

and help you kill them. Once done, go into the cargo bay they came

from. Explore around the crates and you will find a belt of thermal

detonators and some batteries. Look at the container sitting over a

grate on the floor...learn to recognize those, because they explode

when you shoot them, often offering goodies or a hidden passage. Drop

through the broken grate and walk up the small set of stairs in this

dark room. Proceed around the corner to the right and walk to the end

of the long hallway. (you will see a door on the left, which only

leads you underneath the lift you took to get down). At the end of the

hallway is a large machine of some kind. You have to blow it up, but

be careful. It doesn't take many shots, but it will release a large

ball of fire that shoots back all the way to the end of the hallway.

Either shoot it while you're still at the end and just hide around the

corner, or get closer to it and use the door that leads under the large

lift. Once the machine is destroyed, walk all the way around it and

you will see a computer console and a small lift. Ride it up into a

VERY dark room. In this room you will see a grate on the floor. Shoot

it and drop through to get to the security room you saw when you first

came down into the base. Kill the officer, grab his supply key and

then look at the window to your right. You will see a row of buttons,

1 blue and 3 red. Push all the red buttons so that they are blue,

this opens a bunch of doors. Jan, who was waiting by the entrance door,

will now be able to come and join you in the room. She fiddles with

the computer, unlocks some more stuff, and tells you she's going to

hang around there to cause more trouble =).

 

Go to the shelf to her right, and pick up some blaster ammo.

Now, exit the room. You will encounter an officer and four troopers.

After dispatching them, go through the door

they came from. You will be in a room with two green light doors, one

on the left and one on the right. Let's go to the right first. Follow

the passage and you will see another cargo bay to the left with a whole

load of troopers, and a door on the right that leads to the original

cargo bay where you dropped through the floor. No need to go back in

there for now. Wipe out the troopers in the new bay, and find the

first security crate. These are the crates i mentioned that can be

opened with supply keys. Look at the small console side, press the

use button and it will open, giving you the light amplification goggles.

Grab them, and then move to the corner of the bay where there is a large

lift. Push the button and ride it down...you will notice the the room

is pitch black, how handy that you just found the goggles! Turn them on

(default key is numberpad left) and explore the room. Jan radios you

and mentions that the base is divided into 3 sections...important info

for later. In the room behind some of the crates you will find a secret

area with two shelves containing an instant use healthkit and blaster

ammo. Turn around and go to the right, around more crates and you will

see a dimly lit small maintenance door. Crouch, walk through it and go

into a room with four troopers and an officer. Kill them, grab his

supply key and head over to the control panel. You will comment that

the blue symbol looks like an imperial code, and you receive a message

that your objectives have been updated. Check them and you will see

instructions to input the code at the "main array". You'll encounter

this later. Look to at the rest of the console and you will see a map

of the base, conveniently colored in red blue and green. Notice that

there is a blue button lit up, and the blue section of the map is lit

as well. Push the other two buttons, and see the red and green part

of the base light up too. You can now access more of the base.

 

Take the door out of this room and you will find a forcefield

with a button next to it. Push the button to let down the forcefield,

and then climb up the stairs. At the top of the stairs you'll need to

kill two troopers. Just to get your bearings, walk through the

green-light door in front of you to see the cargo area with the lift.

Now, standing at the top of the stairs, facing the door to the bay, go

left. Along this hallway you will find three troopers. After killing

them, go over to the shelf next to the thin window that looks out on a

few suspended walkways. Pick up the healthkit and blaster ammo, then

continue down the hallway. You will encounter one trooper at the end,

and then be able to see the main array. Make another mental note and

study this area. Remember how Jan said the base was in 3 different

parts, and you just unlocked the green and red areas? Well, look at

the symbols above the doorways on each plank. Blue, Red, and Green.

Coincidence? heh. Now move toward the main array. You will see that

there is a screen for the three colored icons. If you try to press

anything, Kyle comments that it is offline. That's ok, you need to

get the green and red codes first anyway. Go into the GREEN section

from here.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The Green Section

 

There are two ceiling mounted turrets in the room, along with a

small windowed security room with an officer. The turrets will start

shooting you, but there's no need to try and blow them up. Strafe

through the room to avoid them and and move around to the left of the

windowed room. Go through the green-light door, and immediately turn

right to go up in the security room. Kill the officer, and press the

button to turn off the turrets. In either corner of the room you will

find a shield recharger, a shelf with a couple assault rifles, and a

health canister on the floor. go out of the security room and head

straight. Kill the 3 stormtroopers, and then head down the set of

stairs to your left. Go through the door and kill the four troopers in

this room. Near the end of the room, by another set of stairs leading

up, is a security console. Press the button that looks different, and

you will hear and conversation between yourself and Jan, telling her to

come help with the computer. Walk away from the console and wait a few

moments. Jan will radio you and tell you she's under attack from

troopers and needs your help. Doh! Go back out of this room the way

you came, up the small set of stairs and out by the main array again.

You will see two troopers guarding the way back to the blue section.

Kill them and then run down the hallway.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Back to the Blue Section (momentarily)

 

Go into the first door on your left (remember this one? Where I

told you to previously get your bearings?) It leads into the cargo bay

where you'll find Jan and the troopers. Help her wipe them out, then

she'll bitch at you for taking your sweet time to get there, then asks

to be led to the computer. *Sigh* now all the way back to the green

section. If you really can't remember...exit the cargo bay where you

came out, turn right and go down the hallway, past the main array and

into the green area.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The Green Section (continued)

 

(Notice the turrets are inactive now :-) proceed through the

security room, and with your back to the booth doors, head down the

stairs to your left. Lead Jan over to the console, where she will fool

around with some more stuff. You see a short cutscene showing a

red-light door unlocking, turning to green. Again Jan will stay to

screw around, so go back out the way you came again. (You could go

up the stairs to the right of the console, but I figured you'd be more

familiar with that other small set of stairs by now). Now, looking at

those stairs that lead down to the room you just came out of, go

straight and enter the first green-light door on your right. Kill the

officer and four troopers. To the left of the door you entered, there

is a shelf with yet more blaster ammo and a healthkit. on the floor is

a health canister and your first large shield booster. Go explore the

rest of the room, and by the red and blue displays you will find the

green clearance code on a wall terminal. Your objectives are updated

accordingly. With your back facing that terminal, head through the

door that is right in front of you. you are now back in the hallway.

go right and you will see a set of stairs leading up. Follow them up

to a short hallway. There is a green-light door to your immediate

right, a thin door at the end directly in front of you, and another

green-light door at the end over to the left. Take the door on the

right first. In this small room you will see various computers and a

couple crates. Now, remember way back when you blew up that crate to

drop through the floor? These crates are the same kind. You can blow

them up, or just walk around behind them to find a shelf with, yes, more

blaster ammo and a healthkit. Go back out of the room into the short

hallway. Go through the thin door, and walk up the small stairs to a

windowed control booth similar to the one you saw with the turrets.

Well, there are turrets outside of this one as well...push the button

to turn them off. In the corner of the security booth you'll get some

more blaster rifles and another health canister. Go out of the booth

and head right, through the green-light door. In this room there is a

lift...if you try to operate it, you'll hear a few mechanical sounds but

nothing will happen. That's ok, we can come back later. Backtrack

allll the way to the main array (not as hard as it sounds, really...exit

the lift room, go down the stairs and follow the long hallway to the

very end, and you'll be by the green security booth again. Go out on

the planks, and now it's time for the red section.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The Red Section

 

The red section has the same layout as the first room in the

green section...ceiling turrets, security booth with guard. So, do the

same thing...run by the turrets, through the green-lit door and take a

right up into the booth. Kill the guard, grab the rifles and health

canister (damn, at least the remnant forces are consistent :-) and then

walk out of the booth. With your back to the booth door, you'll see

two ways to go...straight, or up a set of stairs to the left. Take the

stairs. Kill the two troopers up here, and then circle around to the

left to find a small lift. There's no button to press, just wait a few

seconds and it will take you up. Kill the troopers and check out the

room. It's an observation deck the overlooks the main array area you've

been running through. Press the button in the middle of the window...

you'll see that it lets down a forcefield which is blocking another

button on the walkway lining the array area. Go out the doorway on the

right to walk along the ledge. Press the button once you're there, and

turn around to see a part of the array extend downward, activating an

energy beam. You can also see an officer and a bunch of troopers run

into the observation room you just came from. Doh! Head back into the

room, kill them, and then make your way back to the bottom of the curved

stairs. This will lead you right back to the doors to the security booth

and the turret room.

 

Now, turn with your back to the booth door, like you did before.

Instead of heading up the stairs, go straight. Go through this room's

door, into an area with two supply crates on the left side. Because

you've picked up the necessary supply keys, you can open both of them.

Each contains a health canister. Finish off the troopers in this room,

then go to the opposite end. You will see a control panel with a

picture of a satellite dish on it. Press it a few times to see

some interesting cutscenes. After you're done, turn around and

take the hallway on the right. You will see a red-lit door on your

left...go past it. On the left will be one trooper, along with weapon

and shield rechargers. On the right is a green-lit door. Stock up if

you need to, then proceed through this door. You'll see a couple

troopers get blown up by a leaking gas pipe. Go left into the long

tunnel, and kill the trooper. Once you reach the end of the tunnel,

there will be a cutscene showing it explode behind you. Proceed down

the hallway and take the door on the right, leading to some stairs.

At the bottom you'll find a room with three hovering droids, take them

out, and notice the small lift along the left wall, with an ammo

recharger at the top. Ride it up and recharge. You can go through the

door here if you want, but it only leads to the 2nd red tunnel, which

will blow up when you get halfway through it, forcing you to go back

anyway. So, once you finish using the recharger, hop back down and

find the other small lift located behind the glass panel. This takes

you up to a short passageway that leads outside. You will now be next

to the radar dish you saw in the cutscenes a few steps back. Kill the

two hover droids, then walk along the roof of the passageway on the

right. There is a hole in the roof at the end...drop down and kill the

2 troopers. Head left through the small door and kill the officers and

trooper, then grab the ammo and healthkit from the shelf. The green-lit

door leading out of this room will run you into yet more troopers and an

officer, as well as a console with the final command code, the red one.

Go out the door to the left of the console and kill the three troopers.

 

You will notice that you are back in the hallway next to the room

with the satellite buttons. Turn right to go back in this room. It

should be fairly easy to backtrack through the room, past the stairs and

through the security area, out onto the main array platforms. Finally!

You can turn the damn thing on. For each panel, press the three buttons

until the image matches the icon in your objectives. Once all 3 icons

match, go to the last side of the array and push all three switches. A

walkway will extend in front of you, allowing progress forward. You

radio Jan to tell her to prep the ship, and then continue on your way.

Go straight through this new door, and on to the next level.
