Walkthrough

From the beginning pick-up the Minigun from the blue box. The Minigun won't really help you in this level since it's shots don't travel very far. But once you get and use the Shield you can run right up to enemies and hit them with it since it really is a good weapon for taking off a lot of damage very quickly.

Be careful at the first turn after the electric barriers. The Minigun doesn't shoot far enough to hit the Gun Turret around the next corner. Your best strategy is to strafe back and forth past the corridor and shoot at the Gun Turret with your Standard Ammo until it is destroyed. After it's destroyed, pick-up the gem to the left that is on top of the short ramp, and keep moving to the right from there to get to the moving platform. Don't stop once you get the gem or you will get hit by the other Gun Turret.

Take the moving platform to the next platform and wait for the elevator to take you to the lower level. Once on the lower level watch out for the mines in the corridors. Strafe back and forth across the whole room to hit the Gun Turret and keep from getting hit. Pick-up the two gems behind the Gun Turret and push the push blocks straight forward to get to the hidden rooms.

Sneak in this room and turn to the right to get a surprise attack on the Floater from a distance so that it doesn't shoot you. If it floats behind the blue box, be careful not to destroy the Shield inside of it. Pick-up the gem and the shield and turn the Shield on by selecting it with the R1 key and then Square before entering the next room. It is also a good idea to equip your Minigun since the Miner takes a lot of shots to destroy.

The Shield can not be turned off once it's activated, so you have to move quickly before it wears off. Pick-up the gem and destroy the Miner before leaving the room and heading back towards the elevator. Shoot the Gun Turret on the way for extra points. Once you are back one the elevator it's a simple path back to the moving platform, past the first Gun Turret, through the electric barriers, and up the ramp near where you started to take the elevator to the exit block.


Tricks

The tricks in this level are basically the same as in the last two levels, but they are a little harder to get to in order to set-up, and one is very hard to do. After you take the moving platform to the second platform, wait for the elevator to rise to the top, and then drive off of the elevator to the left and up onto the platform on the opposite side of the elevator.

Once you are on this platform shoot the Gun Turret to the right from a distance. Even though you are above it, your shot will still count as a hit. Slowly drive off the ledge toward the Gun Turret you just destroyed and land on the lower floor.

It is only one square wide so be careful not to drive off of it. Flip yourself back over with the Triangle if you flipped over. Line yourself up with the ramp to the right by turning towards it and then strafing into the wall on the right and then back to the left to make sure you are exactly lined up with it. Then simply drive forward fast to clear the jump.

Once you land you can go to the right to drop in behind the Gun Turret and get the gems without having to deal with the mines by the elevator until you have the shield activated on the way back. Or you can go to the left, which is a much easier way to get to the exit block once you have all of the gems rather than driving past the Gun Turrets and the electric barriers.

The other trick is to jump off of the ramp just like in the first trick, but to strafe to the left while jumping so as to land on the wall that is perpendicular to the gap that you jump across in the first trick.

This trick is very hard to do and will take you a few tries to get it just right since you have to be partially up the ramp to start with. This is really only helpful for exploring around. Other than that it's too hard to waste any real time when there is nothing special that can be achieved from it.
