![]() ![]() Level 5 is very large and consists of some quite varied areas. This fires the same giant blue spheres that the robot was using on me earlier and these take out nearly anything electrical in only a few shots. I’m really building up my stats and upgrade my energy enough to be able to use this energy weapon. The recreation deck includes a garden area (which given the limitations of the engine doesn’t look much like a garden but its a change from metal panels. I can use the art to flick between pictures and sure enough I find part of a code. I’m told in a log I find that someone has hidden a code in the artwork on this deck. I look around the area afterwards but if anyone is still alive I don’t find them. ![]() I use my usual tactics and it doesn’t prove to be much stronger than the earlier yellow robots. This one fires huge and fairly slow energy balls which do splash damage even if they don’t hit me directly. ![]() The reason why is presumably the biggest robot I’ve had to fight. When I get here there is actually someone still alive but he is behind a glass screen and I can’t reach him yet. Shodan wants me to get access to a transmitter that has been set up here. The final computer I have to override is very nearby. It possibly does a small amount more damage than the light sword but nothing major.Īfter a lot of walking around I finally find the final red cyborg and although it runs away I manage to get enough hits in to take it down relatively easily. I start overriding the computers and also upgrade my exotic skill so I can use the crystal shard. As far as I can tell toxin never wears off in this game without the use of an anti-toxin hypo so I take them down with a shotgun while contstantly backing off. They have a toxin attack which is extremely nasty. These are extremely tough and best taken down at a distance. I keep exploring and find another chip and also run into giant spiders. I find the first of the computers I need to override but can’t do anything with it yet as I need one of the other two chips. Provided I can get close up quickly they aren’t a big threat. I hide round the corner and the crates kill the cyborg off for me.Īside from the assassin cyborgs I’m also running into these guys who throw grenades at me. The room also has a load of exploding crates which keep crashing down. I don’t realise it at the time but this room has one of the red assassin cyborgs in it. To override Xerxes control I need to track down 3 red cyborgs which have a computer chip each which can override one system. I need some skill in exotics before I can use it. It’s another melee weapon but presumably more powerful than any of the usual ones. I find a new weapon which has been created by Shodan’s “children”. I have to get her access to more of the ships systems the Xerxes is currently controlling. Shodan has been masquerading as the dead woman in order to build my trust. She elaborates on the backstory and tells me how the “aliens” from the world below are actually her creations that were jettisoned off Citadel station in SS1. They have turned on her and she wants me to help her take revenge and kill them all off. I’ve been expecting a twist somewhere along the way and it wouldn’t have been a System Shock without Shodan in it. I’d go as far as to say this moment would potentially be one of the best in gaming if I hadn’t already guessed it was coming. This scene is incredibly atmospheric and I’m surrounded by her creepy multiple voices. The walls slide away and I’m suddenly face to face with Shodan. There’s only one place to go on Level 4 for now and that leads me straight to the dead body of the woman who has been helping me out over email. ![]()
