Selaco: Level 1 Guide (Where to Go)

The first portion is straightforward. Wait for the door to burst, kick it open and then follow the route marked towards your first gun.

After killing the two enemies that enter the room with your assault rifle follow this route. You will now be fighting enemies and exploring so you shouldn’t follow these directions religiously but use them as a helper.

Get the purple keycard and go through the two purple doors. You will then find a door locked by a keypad. Read the PDA for the key and go grab your armor!

After getting your armor leave the room and head towards the bottom of the map. After fighting some enemies you will find a locked door.

The switch is in the room to the right of that door. After flipping the switch kill a few more enemies and head for the loading screen.

Once you’ve gone through the loading screen head towards the atrium and enter the large office on the left to flip a switch. This should open the doors across from you.

After you flipped the switch in the atrium head directly across the room and to your right. You are going to go upstairs and jump on top of a stuck elevator. Knock it down and you will fall into some water. Take the rightmost vent to reach the labs.

The entrance to the elevator shaft.

Here is the vent you need.

Finally the route into the labs. You will hit another loading screen here.

Labs is the longest section of the first area. So be prepared to come back into this guide a few times if you get lost. And remember this guide doesn’t list info about secrets or enemies so you will want to be sussing that out on your own. I believe this is the earliest point you could get the shotgun (save the ammo for now).

After the loading screen continue through the vents until you drop down into the labs. Once you’ve done so head along the main hallway until you find a purple key in an office.

After acquiring the key double back through the purple door about halfway down the main hallway.

Once you’ve gone through the purple door you’ll find yourself in some offices where a birthday was celebrated. Fight your way to the end and enter the office on the right of the birthday boys. There you will find a switch that will let you into the warehouse area. Inside the warehouse will be a climable route taking you to a blue key. Grab that!

Once you have the blue key head back to the start of the level where you will find a blue door. Go through there and then up the stairs which will trigger a loading screen.

Almost done!

After exiting the loading screen turn to your right to find a room with the lockdown switch. Turn it off!
Once the lockdown is lifted head back to the atrium. This route will be new and as you walk it a wall will explode letting you through.

Once you are back in the atrium walk to the far end to trigger the fight. Remember to quick-save! This is also a great time to use that shotgun you found (you did find it, right?).

After the bossfight continue forward to get the end of level screen. Afterwards move into this new room and jump into the vent. Heading left in the vent will give you a view of a room with a blue keycard. Here you should shoot the doorswitch.
Doing so will open the door. Head in and grab the blue key. Once you’ve done that head to the right side of the area and go through the blue door.

And there you have it! This is easily the most confusing part of the game and things get better from here on out. Also remember that you can head back into the 1st level to collect secrets and resources you missed if you are low on equipment.
