You Take The High Road

From The TimeSplitters Wiki

In You Take The High Road, Cortez and R-110 go back to Urnsay to end Crow's rampage once and for all.

Contents

Briefing

Cortez might have destroyed the TimeSplitter army in 2243 but that hasn't stopped Crow! There's a grotesquely mutated cyborg on the loose and he could easily travel to another time and place and start all over again. The only way to permanently stop Crow is to prevent him from mining the crystals in the first place. Without the Time Crystals, Crow could never have built a time device and then, the TimeSplitters will never have been created at all. So, back to 1924 and under the remote Scottish island of Urnsay where Cortez and R-110 have a mission - to find and destroy the source of the crystals and the time travel device ending Crow's insanity before it begins!

Objectives

  • Destroy the time crystals
  • Activate the drilling machine

Strategy

Operate the lever arm to open the submarine's hatch. Head towards the wall in front of Cortez and hide on the sides. When the "iris" opens (the airlock), R110 and Cortez can ambush and destroy all the enemies and claim some good weapons.


At the end of the short tunnel, operate the valve wheel and turn around to look for some stairs. The right lever in the control room will open the airlock door down the hall and allow Cortez to progress deeper into the base. By now, you should have a Kruger 9mm, K-SMG, and vintage rifle.


R110 will drop out of sight, leaving Cortez alone for a while. Head to the end of the gangplank and turn the valve wheel to move on. On the way back, watch for the ambush of oceanauts and take their harpoon guns.


Head across the small bridge into the underwater town and into the storage area. The blue explosive barrels here can be tossed to kill enemies. More prosaically, use the K-SMG.


Head down into the stacks, blasting enemies. Keep the K-SMG out and ready on rockets, as at least two robots patrol the store room. Blast them with a rocket to avoid losing too much life. The underwater city is teeming with enemies above and below. Unless you are totally stopped from going forward by too many enemies or a locked door, adopt a fighting retreat attitude.


Enemies are on bridges over the chasm, as well as above Cortez. Remember to use the TK glove to grab items you cannot reach. By now, an enemy may have dropped a double K-SMG. Sometimes the weapon flies off the cliff (oh well) and it is not important to clearing the mission.


Watch for snipers from windows and buildings along the boulevard. Keep moving forwards unless you have a good reason to stop. If the way is blocked, locate and kill enemies left around -- sometimes a kill counter needs to be satisfied to open the way forward.


Meet up with R110 and it'll be around to help Cortez activate the four engines for the drilling machine. The room with the red and green lights is the drilling machine control chamber. Head left or right from it to access the four engines.


Activate all four engines (one is already running) by heading in and blasting the enemies. Any robots can be taken out using rockets. Engine B2, the Liparus, is a tip of the hat to The Spy Who Loved Me starring Ian Fleming's James Bond. It was the name of the bad guy's submarine kidnapping supertanker.


Enter the drilling machine and operate the lever to go deep into the earth. The drunk guard here is a waste of ammo, if you're looking to kill him. Exit the drilling machine and watch the cut-scene.
