Escape from Butcher Bay - Mine Entrance | Escape from Butcher Bay TC of Riddick: AoDA Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You've got two choices here. You could use a large hole to land inside the elevator, however you would have to fight two guards. It's better to avoid them, because it would be difficult to kill them and you wouldn't be able to collect one of the packs. As a result turn on Eyeshine and find a new ventilation hatch [#179]. Use the Vent Tool to open the hatch.
[#179]
Enter the ventilation shaft and after a short walk you should be able to get to a new ladder [#180]. Obviously you must use the ladder to reach a higher floor. Keep pushing forward and make a stop once you've reached the grating. Don't kick the grating right away. Instead, wait for one of enemy guards to show up.
[#180]
Kick the grating when the guard is standing directly in front of it. If you're lucky, the grating will stun him for a little while, allowing you to exit the vents and to kill him yourself. You can perform a silent execution on the guard [#181] or you can wait for him to try and hit you with his weapon to perform a counterattack. I would recommend hiding his body in the vents just to make sure no one sees it.
[#181]
You'll have to be extremely careful here, because one of your enemies is guarding the opposite end of this corridor. He'll probably ignore your recent duel with his colleague, so it would be wise not to attract too much attention. Start moving forward and make sure to stay close to the right wall. Stop near the end and look up. Locate a new ventilation hatch [#182] and press the action key to open it. Thankfully this will all play out automatically.
[#182]
Keep heading forward. Turn left when you can and once you've reached a small junction inspect a tunnel located to your left. You should be able to find a new cigarette pack (30 - Container Router) here [#183]. Return to the junction and turn left. Keep moving straight until you reach a new grating. This time you can destroy it without any additional delays.
[#183]
Use the boxes to get down to the ground level. I would strongly recommend that you act stealth here, because one of the guards is occupying the surrounding area. Approach him slowly and surprise him from the back. Notice that by pressing the right mouse button Riddick won't snap his neck but he'll push him directly into a working fan [#184]. The good news is that guard's body will stop both fans.
[#184]
Before you decide to use this newly unlocked passageway you should spend some time first exploring nearby corridors. There are credits in one of the corners of the room. If you couldn't stop the fan using guard's body you can find a control panel on one of the walls [#185]. Afterwards return to the area where the guard was standing.
[#185]
Notice that you'll have to land on each fan in order to avoid having a huge fall [#186]. It's important here to be very precise, so you'll land exactly where you planned to. Notice that one of the guards is standing beneath you. Try landing directly on him. If you fail, you'll have to defeat him in direct melee combat.
[#186]
Ignore the corridor located to your right, because you would only return to the area with two guards mentioned by me before. Instead turn left and use a large gate to get to a new location [#187]. Wait for the game to finish loading a new level.
