Metal Arms: Glitch in the System/Do Ore Die
From SDA Knowledge Base
Any% Easy and Normal Route
- Walk backwards to get the Ripper
- Shoot the 2 cables to the right of the pipe, and jump onto it
- Toss a grenade at the barred window
- Jump through the window and pick up a battery
- Turn right down the tunnel, grab the SPEW, turn left to the barred exit
- Shoot out the bars and kill all bots in the room
- There are 4 grunts on the top level, typically one to your right and 3 on the far side
- There are 5 more grunts on the bottom level, who will come towards you if you stay on top for too long
- The last bot killed drops a chip
- One of the bots is guaranteed to drop energy
- Enter the control room, and use the chip
- As the Mil bot:
- Back up slightly and turn right
- Double jump onto the assembler
- Double jump onto the platform
- Move left slightly and double jump to the next platform
- Shoot out the glass barriers
- Walk the Mil into the electrical field
- The door doesn't open until the alarm sounds 12 times, so use this time to stock up on grenades and energy (if needed)
- Move through the hallway, and toss a grenade on the grunts coming down the lift. This lets you keep your much needed energy for the next room.
- The blue grunt drops energy if you need another one.
- Go up the lift and hit the switch on the far right end of the platform
- The lift won't move for a set time, and it only acknowledges your presence on contact. This is why I keep jumping.
- If you are able to jump off the platform while the cutscene plays, physics will continue during the cutscene and drop you to ground level. This saves about 2 seconds.
- Move through the door on the right side of the room, move past all the mils in the hallways, take the lift down, and exit to your left.
- The exit is right behind the central pillar
