Super stuck in Gemini Exoplant Solutions since game release.

[Adam Beckett]

Bare in mind, I bought the game when it came out, played it all the way to this point and cannot get passed.

Every other month I try the same section, in different ways, and get killed by you-know-who, no matter what.

The objective is to "Restore Access to Distribution".

Each time I start at the save point by the reception, enter the room, where the nice lady sits around and glooms her awaiting death. I get passed the long hall and the R&D type wet floor each time with no problem.

The problem starts when I try to get to the terminal, where the Working Joe is.

It seems that no matter what I do, no matter how sneaky I managed to be and even get to the terminal, I trigger the Alien attack.

The ONE thing, I did NOT try, is create a distraction, since there is only open space and I cannot use the terminal, while I hope the Alien is going to appreciate a ticking thingy or a shiny signal light.

I deleted my old save file, thinking this is an 'adopted' routine by the Game AI, I managed to play all the way up to the terminal in different ways, using different paths, always sneaking, always careful, always paranoid to the last drop of sweat.

But I never manage to make it passed this sequence.

This is where the game ends for me.

Any help will do. Thank you guys for reading this, in the first place. :)

I had problems in this section because the synthetic would get aggressive as I was operating the objective computer so I ended up trying to kill it a few times, but that only attracted the alien.

But the section isn't too hard. If you're worried about the alien, chase it off into a vent once and then immediately operate the computer; that should give you enough time.

Also, I found this out only after having finished the section but you should take the door immediately to the left of the torch pickup; there's a terminal there that you can use to lure the Joe away from his workstation (the one you need to operate).

Also watch out for the camera. Just sneak past it and use the rewire panel to switch it off. So long as you walk directly toward this section the alien shouldn't drop down until maybe after you have cut the door(s) open. The more time you waste the more likely it is you'll end up fighting the alien.

There is an easy way to get rid of the synthetic that turns agressive when you use the computer, without being overly wasteful - You can simply stun it using the baton and then beat it to death with the wrench, however, it must be done in two separate attacks.

If you go for the full 8 swings that it takes to kill a synthetic (on hard anyway, not sure if it takes less/more on other difficulties), you will get locked into the death animation sequence where Ripley makes another couple of swings at the droid to put it down for good. This all takes too long and the alien will always show up and get you before you can hide.

Instead, walk up behind the Joe and stun him, but only beat him 6 times and then hide in the small cabinet just to the left of the desk that the computer is on. The alien will show up, will not find you and will eventually go back into the vent.

You can then pop out of the cabinet walk up behind Joe again and swing the wrench at him a further two times (you can always get two hits in before they can grab your arm, when you catch them unawares) to put him down for good without wasting another stun baton charge.

If the second assault on Joe attracts ol' Stompy again, you can just hide again when you hear him coming.
