Lost Planet 2 Walkthrough – Episode 4: Counterstrike – Chapter 4

Published on May 10th, 2010

This chapter consists of two totally different areas. The first is underwater against a variety of brand new Akrid, whereas the latter is on a rig in the middle of the sea where you’ll be tackling foot soldiers and Osprey. Check out the walkthrough for more details.

AREA 1

In the first area you enter you’ll see four of five foot soldiers hiding behind cover. A huge VS Suit also drops down from above. In the centre of the room there’s a rocket launcher so it’s worth picking this up to dispose of VS Suit. The other guys you can take out with machine gun, or rifle fire. A well placed grenade should also take a few of them out.  Move to the end of the room and up the ladder. When you get to the top there’s a datapost just on your right. Straight ahead of you you’ll see two VS Suits that you can use in the hangar. There’s loads of foot soldiers to contend with here, they’ll descend on your position quickly. There’s a cool enemy VS here that starts off on two legs but then transforms into a disc-shaped space ship! Best bet here is to get to that hangar and use the VS Suit. In the room next to the hangar you’ll also find a T-Eng Regenerator and some VS Weapons if you run low.  This should be enough fire power to clear the area easily enough. The next datapost is under water, just in front of those huge metal gates. You can still use VS Suits underwater. There’s a multi-seat VS Suit on the side just before you dive in, which is well worth taking along.

Shoot Jellyfish-type Akrid right on the tail

You’ll now be under water dealing with a range of water-dwelling Akrid. There are four metal gates that you need to go through here and each has area where you’ll encounter different type of Akrid. Through the third gate  you’ll see a lizard/dragon like Akrid writhing through the water. It has orange core on its back so just aim for them and you’ll soon take them down. It can be a pain to kill but you don’t actually have to kill it. You can continue to the next data post. Through the third gate and 3 VS Suits will attack you. There’s some heavy weaponry in this area so use it to destroy them. Area Complete.

Area 2

You’re on a rig out at sea. There’s 3 datapost in this area, but you don’t need to activate them to complete the Chapter. There are two areas connected by a drawbridge. You have to clear the one side of the drawbridge of enemies and then find a way to get the drawbridge lowered.

Move up the two ramps toward the facility. On the first platform you’ll encounter lightly armed enemies that you should easily dispatch with machine gun fire. Before you move on, look to the South in a hangar and you’ll find a VS Suit. Just behind the boxes at the back there’s also a rocket launcher which will come in handy for taking out the turrets that you’ll encounter shortly.

Move North up the next two ramps onto the next platform. Data post 1 is to the NW. More lightly armed guards will descend on the area but once again machine gun fire should easily get rid of them. Datapost 2 is below you at the foot of the drawbridge on the level underneath and data post 3 is on the lower level in the central area. You don’t need to activate these but if you want to that’s where you’ll find them. Move East toward the other end of the rig on the upper platform. As you move down the stairs about halfway down the rig you’ll see two turrets in front of you, one to the left and the other to the right. There’s also some heavily armed enemies in this area equipped with Gatling guns and other weapons. Use the rocket launchers to destroy the turrets first and then tackle the other enemies. You’ll see an Osprey helicopter in front of you. Behind that, if you move down the right hand ramp there’s another mode of transport that you can use to get to the otherside of the drawbridge should your Osprey get shot down. Watch out for two more turrets in this area.

Jump in the Osprey and fly West over the drawbridge. On the other side you should see two snipers on the rooftops of buildings and to the right of the drawbridge, on the ramp leading upwards, there are two turrets to take out. Aim for the turrets first. If you feel your Osprey is going down, land it quickly on that side. You should be able to take out the other enemies with your other weapons. Head toward the drawbridge and activate the controls to lower it.

Move up the ramp where you saw the two turrets and you’ll come across more enemy. These guys have shields. If you’ve still got your Osprey you can get behind them to kill them, but alternatively you’re team mates can provide suppressing fire while one of you sneaks around the back, or you can just jump over their shields and quickly attack them. When you get to the top of the ramp and move forward you’ll be attacked by four Osprey. You should make light work out of a couple of them if you’re still got your Osprey, but with four of them after you it’s likely that they’ll take your helicopter down. Just take out two and get back on the platform where you’ll find heavy weapons and rocket launchers which will help you out nicely.

Once they’re down head to the North of this platform and you’ll see two control points that you can activate. Chapter complete.
