The notorious first room is rife with menacing lasers cutting through the air, requiring razor-sharp reflexes and vigilance to cross. Your objective here is to clear two rounds of moving laser fields that block your way to the second chamber. Use R3 to determine the location of the platform. When there's a gap between the crossing lasers, make a run for it jump, and use L2 and R2 to zip to the platform.

Taming the Toxic Gas: The Second Room

Upon entering the second room, prepare for a race against time. Increasing volumes of deadly gas will force you to act fast. There are three generators around the room that you must reactivate.

  • Generator one: From the center of the room, it is to your left against the wall. Reactivate it by using L1 and Square.
  • Generator two: Visible from the first generator opposite a pile of pipes. Employ L1 and R1 to pull down the pipes and expose the generator. Zip onto the wall near the generator using L2 and R2 and use L1 and the square button to restart it.
  • Generator three: Peculiarly placed on the ceiling. Use your grappling skills, L2 and R2, to haul yourself up before hitting it back to life with L1 and Square.

Once reactivated, these generators will ventilate the room allowing you to breathe and make your way to the third room.

The Final Showdown: The Third Room

Brace yourself for your final hurdle in this section - a skirmish against an array of Kraven’s Hunters. Their vicious attacks require agility and prowess to hold your ground. Employ your combat skills to overcome the heavy-hitting hunters and emerge victorious in this room. Here are some tips:

  • Harness your skills: Miles has a set of powerful abilities at his disposal, developed through your progress in the game. They’re especially useful for taking on multiple enemies at once, so make sure to leverage them to control the battlefield.
  • Prioritize finishers and healing: When your Focus meter is full, you can execute Finishers by pressing Triangle and Circle to quickly dispatch tougher foes. But always remember to check your health; there’s no point in a flashy takedown if it leaves you vulnerable. Heal up when necessary to stay in the fight.
  • Maintain battle flow: You have the ability to influence enemy positioning by moving around the area. Use this to your advantage to herd the enemies where you can best handle them. You can also isolate and engage enemies in the air, where Miles shines, allowing you temporary respite from the chaos on the ground.
  • Don’t neglect your gadgets: The gadgets you’ve accumulated are not just novelties; they’re vital tools for crowd control and dealing damage while keeping a safe distance. Incorporating them into your combat strategy can make a significant difference in taking down your adversaries.
