Unit 7 - Level 5 - Launch Command

Objective: First shut off the coolant to the CPU core, then destroy black hole generator.

U7L5W1 (secret)

Rocket jump on top of the spinning rings. The video will explain how to accomplish this feat. There is a bug in the game that won’t give the secret on the hard level. The video will illustrate the secret on the medium level. There will be a bunch of goodies hidden behind these rings. 

U7L5W2

Grab the armor and walk through the door. Kill the Gunner and open the next set of doors and send the iron maidens to Strogg heaven (or Hell, I should say). There are two identical chambers on the other side of the right and left doors, and the descriptions are the exact same for both, save a different Strogg or two.

U7L5W3

Kill the Tanks while you walk in. Enter the chamber 1 (or 2) room and kill all the iron maiden, beserkers, Gladiators, Technicians, and Gunners. Grab the armor and shoot the dark gray boxes to uncover additional ammo and health. Step on the platform to ride up to the top level. Kill all the Strogg and press the wheel to de-activate this chamber. Leave through the door on the other side kill all the Strogg.   

U7L5W4

As you enter the top of the CPU core room, destroy all Strogg and notice the first door to your right is the exposed core and exit room when you’re finished here. Leave back out again and continue along to the right side. Enter the next door to the right and de-activate this chamber as well (repeat the procedure as with the other chamber. Take the platform down and mow down the Strogg on the lower floor.

U7L5W5

Ride the platform back up and head to the center room upstairs to shut down the CPU core for good. To the right of the exit door, enter the platform and ride it up to the top for access to the CPU core. Hop down run across to the other platform and do the same to complete the sequence. Now can enter the room marked “Launch Systems”.

U7L5W6

Enter the room, killing all Technicians and Gunners until you reach the main computers overlooking the three rotating rings outside. A bunch of guards will be protecting the computers, so blow them away then destroy both computers (one on each side). Climb into the one on the left to grab a power shield.

U7L5W7 (secret)

Now make your way to the exit doors, but first notice the glass to the left of the door has a crack in it. Shoot it and jump into the water to uncover a bunch of power-ups. Now proceed to the Outlands level.
