Mission 2: First Thermal Post | Walkthrough Lost Planet 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Get into the mech and go towards Coronis. On your way, you will have to help open the gate (just like in the case of the first mission: by grabbing with the claw [LMB] and spin [F]). Follow the marker into the place shown in the screenshot, where you need to drop down by using the hook that you received from Braddock. Simply, approach the edge and Jim will do that automatically. Below, you are up for another repair, and then the way back to the mech. Use the claw [F] to reach the place above. The edges that you can use it on are marked.
Hide behind the obstacle and finish out several enemies. Watch out for the projectiles that the newly-met beasts spit. Keep going ahead, along the only possible path (on your way, you will find an automatic weapon that is very useful here, as well as an audio log) .Use the hook for several times and keep going up until you reach again the spot where you have left the mech. There is another task for you to perform ahead - you need to set up your first outpost. Follow the marker until you reach the Hanneman's Basin. Use the drill to cut through your path [T].
After some time, you will have to leave the machine. You will be attacked by an akrid. To liberate yourself, you need to complete a QTE event. Tap on the key that the game prompts you to use [F], and then, use the mouse to target the jaws to use the knife and finish your struggle. Not, it is time to shoot ice off your machine. At the same time, you should watch out and dodge the monster attacks. Remain in constant movement. After you are done removing the ice, return to your mech and resume following the marker.
After you reach the edge, use the hook and keep along your path. Jump down in the spot shown in the above screenshot, which will allow Jim to use the hook safely. Keep repeating until you reach your destination at the very bottom.
You are up for a small skirmish with two akrids. Just like earlier, remember to aim at the orange are (the jaws), avoid their charges [space bar] and remain in constant movement. Nearby, you will find two crates where you can replenish your ammo, if necessary. Once you defeat the two enemies, another one, a bit bigger, will enter. In a similar manner, keep avoiding its charges and, additionally, watch out for its attacks with tail. After you are done with this one, set up your outpost.
