Climb up the climbable wall, go into a tunnel, then turn left at the intersection, and ignore a teleporter.
At the next intersection, turn right, and go into another borehole.
Beneath the borehole, take a right turn inside a cavern where there is a small column, and then go through a tunnel, and go into a cavern where there are spider webs.
In the cavern where there are spider webs, overcome some adversaries. (A stone disk rolls aside after the battle, revealing a passage.)
Go through that passage, and go through a tunnel.
On exiting the tunnel, go into another cavern, this cavern has a locked door with a standing stone in front of it. The cavern also has a lower carvern area, with a fair amount of water standing in it. Switch a lever at the far end of the cavern. (This opens up two tunnels, one on each side of the lower cavern area.)
At the end of both tunnels, in a cavern above them, a lever can be seen. Use a projectile to hit these levers with. (This opens a gate in the lower cavern area.)

hit a lever above each tunnel

With the lower cavern area gate now opened, swim through the water standing in the lower cavern area.
Climb up a ladder on the other side of the water, and up another ladder, up to a higher plateau, then turn around, and walk over a high bridge.
At the end of the bridge, obtain Cave Door Key 1, and bring it to a standing stone below, to open a door below, which was locked.

Cave Door Key 1 is needed on the standing stone, to open a cave door

After opening the cave door, hit an explosive barrel with a projectile, on the other side of the cave door. (The explosion will cause a nearby column to tumble forward.)
Walk over the column, which now serves as a bridge.
Continue going onwards, through a series of tunnels and bridges, until arriving at a ledge.
Go to the right, across the ledge. Upon reaching a tunnel, turn right to obtain Key 1.

it's a challenge to miss Key 1

3. Warp Portal 1 (feather)

After obtaining Key 1, defeat some adversaries, and go south, through a tunnel, then over a bridge, and then through another tunnel.
Exit from the second tunnel, then go into a cavern, and hit an explosive barrel near a column, by using a projectile. (The explosion will cause the column to tumble forward.)
Walk over that column (it now serves as a bridge), then go up a slope, and walk through a tunnel leading to Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 1.

go past Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 1

Go over a stone bridge past Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 1, then switch a lever on a wall, by using a projectile. (This opens a passage next to the lever.)
Continue going onward through the opened passage, and over two stone bridges, then use a projectile to hit another lever on a wall. (This opens a passage next to it.)
Go through that passage, and turn right at an intersection, then go into a borehole.
The tunnel beneath the borehole has a teleporter at the end. Ignore it, and take a right turn at an intersection, and go through another tunnel.
On exiting the tunnel, the Red Eagle Feather can be seen. Obtain it by jumping across some platforms, and over a waterfall.

jump across some hovering platforms, and over a waterfall, to reach a feather

After obtaining the Red Eagle Feather, return all the way back to the beginning of the Lair of the Blind Ones, by going back through the tunnel at the hovering platforms, and through all three teleporters that were ignored earlier. (Go all the way back, avoid going down any boreholes, and go into every teleporter, because all three of them lead upwards.)
After exiting the third teleporter, and upon being teleported into to the cavern with the large column with a leaping yellow adversary, dive into the lake at that location, and look for an underwater tunnel inside the lake.
Swim through that tunnel, and ignore the next underwater tunnel, leading north. Instead press a switch at the far end of a subterranean lake. (This activates Warp Portal 1, at a hidden location.)

a switch in a subterranean lake, all the way back, opens Warp Portal 1

From the subterranean lake, swim through the underwater tunnel to the north (which was ignored earlier).
On exiting that underwater tunnel, get out of the water, and go across some rock formations connected by bridges, and climb up the central rock formation, by leaping towards a climbable wall.

Climb up the climbable wall nearby, go through the tunnel, and ignore the teleporter.
Instead, turn left, and then turn right, through the tunnel, and go into the borehole.
Beneath the borehole, in the cavern which has a column and some stalagmites, take a right turn, and go into the tunnel.
Move onwards through the tunnel, and go into the cavern with the spiderwebs, and then further south, and go through the next tunnel.
Beyond that tunnel, turn left, through the cave door. (Which required Cave Door Key 1 to be opened earlier.)
Continue moving onwards (it's a linear path), through a series of tunnels and bridges, and past Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 1.
At some point, turn right, and go down into a borehole.
The tunnel beneath the borehole has a teleporter. Ignore it, and turn right at an intersection, until reaching the cavern that has the hovering platforms.
In the cavern that has hovering platforms, go down the central hole, and follow a stream of water.
Where the stream becomes a waterfall, jump down, and notice Satchel Charge 1 on a rock formation above.

Satchel Charge 1 is past the cavern with hovering platforms

Follow the stream of water, then go down another waterfall, and go into a lake, with a teleporter below the water surface. Ignore that teleporter.
Swim to the very end of that lake, and use a projectile to hit a lever. (This opens an underwater passage below the lever.)
Swim through that underwater passage, and go through a tunnel.

Cave Door Key 2 can be seen from the lake, as well

At the end of the tunnel, turn left over a walkway, and go into another tunnel. (Notice Cave Door Key 2 on a rock formation, while walking over the walkway.)
At the end of the walkway, go into another tunnel.
Exit from the tunnel, and go into a cavern, and overcome some adversaries. (After the battle, a passageway opens.)
Continue onwards through the passageway, and after crossing a bridge, go through a tunnel, then jump down on the rock formation to the right, to obtain Cave Door Key 2, and switch a lever. (This opens a passage in the nearby tunnel.)
After obtaining Cave Door Key 2 and switching the lever, go up again. (Jump towards a climbable wall, nearby.)
Back inside the tunnel, go through the now opened gate, and onward through the tunnel.
After exiting from the tunnel, go over a few bridges. (The third bridge grants access to a Satchel Charge 1.)
On the third bridge, turn left to see Satchel Charge 1 situated on a rock formation.
Jump from the bridge to the rock formation, and obtain Satchel Charge 1.
After obtaining Satchel Charge 1, while standing on the rock formation, jump towards a nearby tunnel entrance.

On exiting that teleporter, take a right turn at the next intersection, and go through the tunnel, and back to the tunnel entrance. (Near the rock formation that lead to Thermal Vent 1.)
At that tunnel entrence, jump towards the rock formation, and then jump from that rock formation, back to the bridge.
Once back on the bridge, go south, and go into the next tunnel.
In the tunnel, and at an intersection, take a right turn, and go down into a borehole.
Beneath the borehole, go through a tunnel, ignore a teleporter, but instead take a left turn, and go down another borehole.
Beneath the borehole is a cavern with deep water standing in it. Dive underwater, and swim through an underwater tunnel.
In the underwater tunnel, turn right at the intersection (past a closed underwater gate), and continue swimming through that underwater tunnel.
At the end of the underwater tunnel is a cavern, in which to resurface. In that cavern, climb up on some rock formations, then go over a rotating wooden platform, and then climb up a wall, and switch a lever. (The underwater gate, which was closed, now opens.)
After switching the lever, swim back through the underwater tunnel, and through the now opened underwater gate.
After reaching another closed underwater gate, take a left turn, and continue swimming through the underwater tunnel.
At the end of that underwater tunnel there is a cavern as well. In that cavern, also, climb up on some rock formations, go over a rotating wooden platform, climb up a wall, and switch a lever. (The other underwater gate, which was closed, now also opens.)

go down a borehole behind Satchel Charge 2

After switching the lever, obtain Satchel Charge 2, and go down into a borehole, and then go down into another borehole.
Beneath that borehole is the cavern with deep water standing in it. Dive underwater, turn left at the first intersection, and turn right at the next intersection. (Through both the gates which were recently opened.)
In the next underwater cavern, there is a 3-way intersection. This 3-way intersection has a small column at it's centre, and some purple water plants. Swim into the underwater tunnel in the southern direction.

the southern tunnel, between the purple plants, leads to Thermal Vent 2

The southern underwater tunnel leads to a cavern that has a teleporter in it. That teleporter leads to Thermal Vent 2.
Before placing Satchel Charge 2 at Thermal Vent 2, make sure to pick up Cave Door Key 3, then leave Thermal Vent 2 through the teleporter which was used to access the area.

Thermal Vent 2 has Cave Door Key 3 on a wooden platform

6. Warp Portal 2 (nuke)

After sealing Thermal Vent 2, and exiting from the teleporter, go back into the underwater tunnel.
When arriving at the underwater cavern (this is a 4-way intersection), swim into the underwater tunnel in the western direction.

Swim through that tunnel to the west, ignore the next intersection, and keep swimming onward through the tunnel.
Upon resurfacing from the water, enter a teleporter in a nearby cavern.
Exit from the teleporter, and bring Cave Door Key 3 to a standing stone. (This opens a nearby cave door.)
Switch a lever, inside the next cavern. (A stone disk rolls aside, revealing a tunnel.)
Move through that tunnel, and exit from this tunnel into a large cavern. (Notice beams of light shining through a wall.)
In that large cavern, go down a slope, and then go down towards six glowing craters.

during going down towards six glowing craters, Warp Portal 2 may be seen higher up

Near the glowing craters, switch a lever. (A stone disk rolls aside, revealing a tunnel.)
Go through that tunnel, and past a cavern where there is lava, and eventually over a bridge of stone.
Beyond the stone bridge, in the next cavern, take a left turn, along a ledge.
At the end of the ledge, below a spiderweb, press a warp portal switch, located behind some barrels. (This activates a Warp Portal 2.)

a warp portal switch can be found in an area below a spiderweb

After pressing the warp portal switch, follow the ledge in the other direction, and climb up a climbable wall at the end of the ledge.
After climbing up the wall, and going through an adjacent cavern, enter Warp Portal 2 in the next chamber, and obtain a nuke weapon part.

7. Key 2

After obtaining a nuke weapon part, look down, past Warp Portal 2, and jump down towards some odd platforms, to the left side.

these strange platforms are elevators

After landing on the floor below, go to these peculiar platforms. (The platforms are actually elevators.)
Use these elevators to get up higher, go into a tunnel entrance, up high in the cliff.
At the end of that the tunnel higher up, walk over a lengthy stone bridge, and go into another tunnel.
At the end of that tunnel, jump down into a borehole.
In a tunnel beneath that borehole, take a left turn at an intersection, and ignore a teleporter.
At the end of that tunnel, enter a cavern where there is lava.
Hit a lever on a wall, above that lava, by using a projectile. (This opens a passage, in the tunnel up ahead.)
Beyond that tunnel up ahead, move up along a ledge to the right side of a large cavern, where there is also lava.
That ledge above the lava leads to a tunnel, which leads to a cave, where there are some adversaries which need to be overcome. (After that battle, a passage to a tunnel opens.)
Go through the tunnel which opened up, then go over a high stone bridge, then go through another tunnel, then go over another high stone bridge, and then go into another tunnel.
Inside that tunnel, at an intersection, take a left turn, and go down into another borehole.
In the tunnel beneath that borehole, take a right turn at an intersection, and ignore a teleporter.
Overcome a few adversaries in the next cavern, and a tunnel opens up.
After that tunnel there is a very large cavern. In that cavern, continue onwards along a ledge at the right side.

a very large cavern

At the top of that very large cavern, discover Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 2, and overcome some adversaries.
Past Checkpoint Station: Blind Lair - Caverns 2, go through a tunnel, then jump across an abyss, and follow a stone bridge, spanning over the abyss. (Notice Cave Door Key 4 on a walkway above, while walking over the stone bridge.)
At the end of that bridge, go through a tunnel.
After exiting from that tunnel, enter a large cavern. (Cave Door Key 4 is needed to continue.) Walk over a stone bridge inside that cavern, and look for a plateau below. (Notice there is a tree growing on that lower plateau.)

On exiting that tunnel, walk over the walkway, and obtain Cave Door Key 4.
After obtaining Cave Door Key 4, jump down from the walkway, on the stone bridge below the walkway.
After landing on the stone bridge, go through the tunnel under the walkway, and follow the tunnel leading into the large cavern.
In the large cavern, bring Cave Door Key 4 to a standing stone. (This will cause the cave door, next to the standing stone, to open.)
Beyond that cave door, overcome some adversaries inside a cavern, and go through another tunnel. (It will open after the battle.)
Obtain Key 2 at the end of that tunnel.

Key 2 can't be missed

8. Thermal Vent 3

After obtaining Key 2, overcome some adversaries, then continue onwards, and go into the next tunnel.
Overcoming all adversaries in the next cavern opens a path, beyond an intersecting stone bridge section.
Further up ahead, and inside a tunnel, is Satchel Charge 3. (Go over the intersecting stone bridge, and obtain it.)

Satchel Charge 3 is hard to miss

Inside the tunnel where Satchel Charge 3 was, go down a borehole.
In a tunnel beneath the borehole, turn right, and ignore a teleporter.
Instead of going in the teleporter, go inside an underground habitat, and obtain two cave door keys. (Obtain cave Door Key 5a from the left chamber, and obtain Cave Door Key 5b from the right chamber.)

Exit from the teleporter, and destroy a nearby forcefield generator. (A nearby forcefield lowers, granting a passage into a passageway.)

destroy a forcefield generator, to lower a forcefield

Walk through the opened passageway, and destroy another forcefield generator. (A second forcefield lowers, in the previously explored chamber.)
Return to that explored chamber (where the first forcefield generator was), and walk through a now open passageway.
Beyond that passageway, in the next chamber, jump up on a small platform (it will move up automatically), and then enter the next passageway.
This passageway transitions into a semi transparent passageway, which connects to a chamber, where there are a few eggs.
From that chamber, move through the next passageway, and into another chamber where there are two ceiling cannons. (This chamber also has Key 1, situated higher up, on a plateau.)
Press a switch, in an adjacent chamber. (This enables access up to the plateau, and opens a passageway to the east.)
Jump up on the plateau, by going over some hovering platforms, and obtain Key 1.

2. Key 2

After obtaining Key 1, move onwards into the next (eastern) passageway, and then enter a teleporter at the end.
Exit from the teleporter, and go through a door, and take a left turn at an intersection, past a passageway that has a forcefield blocking passage.
Exit from the passageway through a door, and enter a large chamber, with an abyss below.
Take a left turn, and walk over a path along the abyss.
At the end of the path, make a deep jump down onto a lower plateau, coming from the abyss below.

jump down onto a lower plateau coming from an abyss, to find a way onwards

From that plateau, jump down towards another plateau, and down towards another, then disable a ceiling cannon (this will cause a door up ahead to open), and jump up a hovering platform, then go through the door, and into the next chamber.
The chamber is a 4-way intersection, take the middle (the eastern) doorway.
Destroy a forcefield generator past that doorway. (This lowers the forcefield which was passed by earlier, before the abyss.)

another forcefield generator

After destroying that forcefield generator, return to the chamber that has the spinning device, and go through the door to the south.
The next chamber has an elevator. Use a hovering platform to go up a shaft, and through a nearby door.
The chamber beyond the shaft has ceiling cannons in each corner of the chamber. Disable the ceiling cannons, and enter a passageway on the other side of this chamber.
Continue onwards through the passageway, until arriving at a chamber where there are two hovering platforms.
Press a switch in the adjacent chamber. (This will cause a one of the hovering platforms to continually move up and down.)
Use this hovering platform to get up higher, and up on another plateau.
Press another switch, on top of that plateau. (Another hovering platform will start moving diagonally.)
Use that hovering platform to get into a passageway higher up.
Past that chamber, and up high, jump over two more hovering platforms (this is at a high altitude, in the chamber with the four disabled ceiling cannons), and onwards into the next passageway.
Walk through this passageway, and at the end, jump down from a semi transparent section, into a chamber where there are a few eggs.
Exit from the chamber that contains eggs through a door, to reach a 4-way intersection.
At that 4-way intersection, walk through the passageway to the left (the south). (This passageway was blocked by a forcefield earlier.)
Beyond that southern passageway, is a chamber with another spinning device. Go beyond that spinning device, and eventually into a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, and walk into a chamber with another central device.
Once again, go beyond the spinning device, and continue onwards, until arriving at a large chamber that has a large central structure. (This structure composed out of four chambers, where each chamber has a switch.)

a large central structure houses four switches

Press all four switches. (This will cause a hovering platform to continually move up and down inside the chamber that has the large central structure.)
Jump up on that hovering platform, which goes up and down, and then go through a door, and walk into the next passageway.
After going through that passageway, eventually discover Checkpoint station: Hive - Worker Chamber.
Beyond Checkpoint station: Hive - Worker Chamber, walk through another couple of passageways, and then go into a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, and arrive at a large chamber that has an abyss below. Jump down onto a plateau coming from this abyss.

jump down onto another plateau coming from an abyss

In a chamber beyond the plateau coming from the abyss, disable four ceiling cannons, and destroy a forcefield generator in an adjacent chamber. (This disables two forcefields blocking a path ahead, both out of sight, and opens 2 nearby doors; one leading to Warp Gate 1, and the other to an elevator platform.)

destroy a forcefield generator beyond an abyss

After destroying the forcefield generator, enter the door that leads to the elevator shaft, and go up, on a hovering platform.
At the top of the elevator shaft, walk through a semi transparent passageway (This passageway runs through an earlier explored chamber, which has the plateau coming from the abyss.)
Exit the semi transparent passageway, into a chamber (note: This chamber is where previously there were two forcefields. This chamber may potentially have been explored, as it is connected to the large chamber, that has the plateau coming from the abyss.)
Inside this chamber, beyond the northern door, is Key 2.

the northern door leads to Key 2

3. Warp Portal 1 (nuke)

After obtaining Key 2, destroy a wall behind the pedestal it was on, then press a warp portal switch. (This activates Warp Portal 1.)

a warp portal switch is hidden behind the pedestal that held Key 2

After activating Warp Portal 1, head south, and enter the chamber that has a plateau coming from the abyss.
In the chamber that has the plateau coming from the abyss, once again, jump down on that plateau, and enter the adjacent chamber.
In the adjacent chamber (the one with the four disabled ceiling cannons), enter the north passageway, it will lead to a now activated Warp Portal 1, and obtain the nuke weapon part.

after activating Warp Portal 1, find it by jumping down again, onto the plateau coming from the abyss

4. Warp Portal 2 (feather)

After obtaining a nuke weapon part, return to the previous chamber. (The one with the four disabled ceiling cannons), then go south, and eventually up, by using an elevator.
At the top of the elevator shaft, walk through a semi transparent passageway, and jump down into a chamber at the end, which is a 4-way intersection.
At that 4-way intersection, walk through the western passageway (the one up ahead), and eventually into a teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, move onwards. When arriving at a spinning device, take a left turn, and continue through a passageway.
At the end of that passageway, when arriving at an abyss, jump down on a lower plateau, which leads to a lower passageway.

jump down on the lower plateau below, across an abyss

Beyond that passageway, is a central structure (it's a 4-way intersection) in the middle of another abyss. Press a switch on the left side, at the end of a path, near a forcefield. (This activates a hovering platform, granting access to the central plateau.)

press a switch near a forcefield to get up to a central plateau, via a hovering platform

Upon arriving at the central plateau (it's a 4-way intersection), head towards the west, down onto a plateau below.

jump down from the central plateau, to a lower plateau, to the west

In the western chamber, press a switch. (This opens a door in the northern chamber (accessible from the central plateau), and also activates a hovering platform to get back up there.)
After pressing that switch, overcome some adversaries that lay in ambush, and return to the central plateau (the 4-way intersection) in the previous area.
Upon reaching the central plateau, jump towards the northern passageway. (This passageway has recently opened up.)
Look for a passageway between two tunnel protrusions, emerging from the floor, and go through that passageway.
Press a switch in the chamber beyond the two tunnel protrusions. (This activates another hovering platform to the south, in the area with the central plateau (the 4-way intersection).)

go beyond a doorway between two tunnel protrusions, emerging from the floor

After pressing the switch, in the chamber beyond the two tunnel protrusions, and surviving an ambush, return to the chamber with the two tunnel protrusions.
Destroy a wall in the chamber with the two tunnel protrusions. (Destroying this destructible wall grants access into a hidden chamber.)

there is a forcefield generator behind a destructible wall

Destroy a forcefield generator in the chamber behind the destructible wall. (This disables a forcefield in an earlier section, which blocked the passageway to Warp Portal 2.)
After destroying the forcefield generator in the hidden chamber, return to the central plateau (the 4-way intersection) in the previous area.
Upon arriving at the central plateau, go into the southern passageway.
While heading south through that passageway, notice a destructible wall to the left. Destroy that wall, and step up an elevator platform.

there is a destructible wall in the passageway to the south

At the top of the elevator shaft, walk through another passageway.
Continue onwards until arriving at a large chamber with five small plateaus coming from an abyss.
Ignore the plateaus, instead jump across three hovering platforms, and go through a door on the right.

jump across some platforms toward a door on the right

Beyond that door to the right, and behind some eggs, is a warp portal switch. Press it. (This activates Warp Portal 2.)
After pressing the warp portal switch, go back, and now jump down across the five small plateaus coming from the abyss, and obtain the Purple Eagle Feather. (It's on the lowest plateau.)

jump down across five small plateaus, to obtain the Purple Eagle Feather

After obtaining the Purple Eagle Feather, head into a nearby passageway, and into a chamber with a spinning device.
Past the chamber with the spinning device, take a left turn at an intersection, and take another left turn at an intersection after that, to return to the area with the central plateau (the 4-way intersection).
Upon arriving on the central plateau, step on the hovering platform to the east.
Once on the other side, enter the passageway to the far right. (There was a forcefield blocking that passageway earlier.)
At the end of that passageway, enter Warp Portal 2, and obtain the Whispers talisman.

a forcefield on the eastern side of the central plateau should already be lowered

5. Key 3

After obtaining the Whispers talisman, return to the central plateau (the 4-way intersection).
At the central plateau, go into the passageway to the south.
In that southern passageway, take a right turn at the first intersection, take a left turn at the second intersection, and then enter a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, then go through a passageway, and enter an area that has some columns in it.
Exit the area that has columns through a passageway to the east. The eastern passageway leads to a chamber with a central device.
Go through the chamber where there is a central device, and into the next passageway.
Past that passageway, there is an area with a large central structure, which is connected to a semi transparent passageway higher up.
Press a switch on the outside of that structure. (This opens a nearby door.)
Inside the now accessible chamber, discover Checkpoint Station: Hive - Engineering.
After discovering Checkpoint Station: Hive - Engineering, return to the previous area (where there is a large central structure (that has a switch on the outside), and go through a closed door in this area.
Beyond the door is a passageway, which leads to a chamber that has water standing in it, and a central structure, which is partly underwater (it may be reached by a hovering platform). Go to the other side of this central structure.
At the other side of the structure is an underwater passageway that leads to a forcefield generator. Locate this underwater passageway, and swim through it.

there is an underwater passageway leading into the central structure

After swimming through the underwater passageway, destroy the forcefield generator. (This lowers a forcefield, higher up, and out of sight.)
Having destroyed the forcefield generator, swim back to the outside the central structure, and back to the where a hovering platform moves hither and forth.
Step on a hovering platform (it's an elevator platform), and up to onto the hovering platform above, that leads to the central structure, and go inside that central structure.
Once inside the structure, look outside for some more hovering platforms, and jump across them to get into a chamber with a spinning device.
Walk into a passageway beyond this chamber, and step on an elevator platform at the end of a passageway.
At the top of the elevator shaft, enter a passageway, and keep following that, through a semi transparent section.
This semi transparent section leads to multiple forcefield generators, which are protected by ceiling cannons. Destroy all the forcefield generators.

more ceiling cannons to worry about

After destroying all forcefield generators, a forcefield lowers, and a nearby hovering platform activates. Step on that hovering platform, and go through a passageway higher up.

a hovering platform enables access higher up, into a passageway

The passageway leads into a chamber where there are four columns in a row. Key 3 is situated beyond a door to the south.

there may be an ambush before obtaining Key 3

6. Queen Embryo 1

After obtaining Key 3, go through a passageway beyond it, and enter a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, and move through another (centrifuging) passageway. (The next few areas are of a more organic nature.)
Exit from that passageway into an area where there is a bridge spanning high above the floor. At the end of that area, climb up a climbable wall.

there is a climbable wall leading into a passageway

After climbing up the wall, and going into the passageway higher up, turn right (to the south) at an intersection, and continue onwards.
On exiting from the passageway, climb up another climbable wall, in an adjacent chamber.
After climbing up the wall, walk over a bridge. (The bridge spans high above the floor (in the same area discovered earlier).
At the end of the bridge, go through a door, then into a passageway, and into a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, into a chamber where there are quite a few mysterious vertical structures.

it's a mystery what these vertical structures represent

Beyond the chamber where there are mysterious vertical structures, go into an oval passageway full of eggs.
Make a way to the far end of the oval passageway, and enter an inner chamber.
Inside the inner chamber, destroy Queen Embryo 1.

Queen Embryo 1 is inside an inner chamber

7. Queen Embryo 2

After destroying Queen Embryo 1, return to the oval passageway, and exit through the western passageway.
At the end of that passageway is a chamber where there are mysterious vertical structures. Move into another passageway at the end of that chamber (to the north-west), and into a teleporter.
On exiting from that teleporter, go through another passageway, and into a next chamber, then move all the way down in that chamber, and then climb up a climbable wall, at the far end of that chamber.

climb up a climbable wall, after moving down

After climbing up the climbable wall, walk over an organic bridge, and look for a destructible wall to to the east. (To the west there is a passageway that leads to Checkpoint Station: Hive - Breeding Grounds. Discover it.)

a destructible wall at the end of a bridge, is located to the east of a checkpoint station

After discovering Checkpoint Station: Hive - Breeding Grounds, and destroying the destructible wall, enter a teleporter behind the recently destroyed wall segment.
Exit from the teleporter, and go into a chamber with more mysterious vertical structures.
Beyond the chamber with the mysterious vertical structures, is another oval passageway. Destroy Queen Embryo 2 inside an inner chamber.

an oval passageway leads to Queen Embryo 2

8. Primagen Key 5 (foresight)

After destroying Queen Embryo 2, go through the southern passageway (it is connected to the oval passageway).
After exiting from the southern passageway, walk along an abyss (notice a plateau to the right, which may only be reached when having obtained the Leap of Faith talisman), and then go through a door, at the end of the path, and into a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, then go through a passageway, and into a chamber which was discovered earlier (near the organic bridge, which connected to a destructible wall segment).
Jump down onto the bridge (stay on the bridge), and take a left turn (to the south), where the bridge intersects.
Beyond the bridge, and past a few doors, is a climbable wall coming from hazardous liquid below. (The hazardous liquid requires the Breath of Life talisman (from the Death Marshes), to swim through).
Primagen Key 5 can be obtained beyond this hazardous liquid. (This may be done in the final section of this guide, or any time in between at leisure.)

hazardous liquid conceals a subterranean passageway, leading to Primagen Key 5

9. Master Computer

After the foresight on Primagen Key 5, climb up a plateau by using the climbable wall coming from the hazardous liquid. (Notice there are two passageways; one at a low altitude to the east, and one at a high altitude to the south.)

a low altitude passageway leads to the satchel charges

Go through the low altitude passageway, to the east.
Exit from the eastern passageway, into a area, which houses all four required satchel charges. Obtain Satchel Charge 1, at the beginning of the area, near some hovering platforms.

Satchel Charge 1 is near some hovering platforms

After acquiring Satchel Charge 1, obtain Satchel Charge 2 and Satchel Charge 3, at the end of the area, near an exit portal. (Ignore the exit portal.)

Satchel Charge 2 and Satchel Charge 3, are near the exit portal

After obtaining Satchel Charge 2 and Satchel Charge 3, go into a teleporter within a small pond, which was passed by earlier.

there is a teleporter inside a small pond

Exit from the teleporter, then go through a door, and over an organic bridge, and obtain Satchel Charge 4.

Satchel Charge 4 is obtained soon after entering a pond

After obtaining the final satchel charge, jump down from the organic bridge it was on, and exit from the chamber through the northern passageway. (Which leads to the chamber with the low,- and high altitude passageways.)

a high altitude passageway leads to the master computer

Climb up a climbable wall, and enter the high altitude passageway, to the south. (Climb up another climbable wall to get there.) This passageway leads into a teleporter. Go into the teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, then disable six ceiling cannons, and bring all four satchel charges to the master computer to destroy it.

six ceiling cannons protect the master computer

10. Queen Embryo 3

After destroying the master computer, go back into the teleporter used to gain access to it.
Exit from the teleporter, and return to the chamber with the high,- and low altitude passageways.
Once again, go through the low altitude passageway, to the east.
Exit the eastern passageway, and access the previously visited area (this area has the pond with the teleporter inside), go into the teleporter inside the pond.

go into this pond again

Exit from the teleporter, and walk over the organic bridge, and go through the door at the end, and into another teleporter.
Exit from that teleporter, and enter a chamber with some mysterious vertical structures.
After exiting from the chamber with the mysterious vertical structures, jump and climb over some rock formations above lava, and press a switch. (This activates a hovering platform nearby.)

three switches need to be pressed here

Use that hovering platform to get up higher, and press two more switches. (This unlocks a door into a nearby passageway, and leads onwards.)
Move through that passageway, into a chamber where there is shallow water.
Wade through the water, and climb up a climbable wall on the other side of the shallow water.
The next passageway leads to an oval passageway.
At the end of the oval passageway, destroy Queen Embryo 3 inside an inner chamber.

After destroying Queen Embryo 3, return to the shallow water in the previous chamber, then go past the lava, and into the chamber where there are mysterious vertical structures.
Beyond the chamber where there are mysterious vertical structures, go into a teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, then jump down from the organic bridge, and exit from the Hive of the Mantids, through the exit portal in this area.

LEVEL 6 - Primagen's Lightship

1. Primagen Key 6 (foresight)

Walk through the first passageway, and enter the ship's main hub. (It serves as a 6-way intersection.) Initially, only the passageway to the south-west is accessible. Notice there is a central forcefield. This forcefield is powered by four geometrical shapes. All four must be disabled, in order to lower the central forcefield, and to be able to obtain Primagen Key 6. The directions to where the geometrical shapes point to, relate to the directions needed to be taken in order to disable them. If there are sparkling green lights on a geometrical shape, it means the forcefield is still empowered by it, and can be deactivated in the direction that geometrical shape points to.)

from the ship's main hub, take the south-west passageway

2. Power Generator 1

After the foresight to Primagen Key 6, enter the south-west passageway. (Initially, the only passageway accessible.)
In that passageway, at an intersection, go south, then turn a handle to activate a teleporter.
Enter that teleporter.

the lightship uses teleporters that require activation before they can be used

On exiting from the teleporter, move into a passageway and head west. (The door east leads to some equipment.)
Move through that western passageway, and past some doors.
At a next intersection, take a door to the south. (The door west leads to some equipment.)
Behind the door to the south is a large chamber. Ion Capacitor 1 is up in the air, and near it, a rotating fan. Use the fan's airstream to get up on a higher plateau, and obtain the Ion Capacitor 1.

Ion Capacitor 1 floats above a fan which can be used as an elevator

After obtaining the Ion Capacitor 1, and while on the higher plateau, move into a western passageway. (A passageway east, leads to some equipment.)
In the western passageway, at an intersection, go through a door to the south. (Going through the passageway west, leads to some equipment.)
Beyond the southern door is a chamber that has a central structure, with a walkway around it. Get on the walkway by going up a stairs at the far end of that structure.
Walk over the walkway, and jump on another plateau (in front of the structure), to obtain Ion Capacitors 2 and Ion Capacitor 3.

a walkway around a central structure, leads towards two ion capacitors

After obtaining Ion Capacitors 2 and Ion Capacitor 3, get up on the walkway once more.
Walk over the walkway, once again to the front of the structure, but now jump towards an (elevator) platform.
The elevator platform will allow access to an inner chamber inside the structure, turn a handle at the far end of the inner chamber. (This opens a door to a nearby passageway.)
Enter the passageway, and turn east at an intersection. (A door to the north at the intersection leads to Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Tech Centre. Discover it.)

a door to the north leads to a checkpoint station

After exiting from the passageway, there is an area where there are particals going upwards, and where there are four passageways on the other side of an abyss.

the upper passageways can only be reached by using the Whispers talisman

At the area where there are particles moving upwards, go under a nearby stairs, stand on a (Whispers) symbol, to float to the other side of the abyss, and continue onwards, through the upper passageway, on the other side of the abyss.

notice a (Whispers) talisman symbol below a stairs

After that upper passageway, stand on another (Whispers) symbol to float to the other side of the abyss, and continue going, until arriving at a chamber where there is a handle near some screen panels. Turn that handle. (This disables a forcefield at the ships' central hub area. (Three more have to be disabled, in order to obtain Primagen Key 6).)

turn a handle to disable the first of the four forcefield generators

After turning the handle, return to the abyss (where there are particles moving upwards).
At the area where there are particles, walk up a stairs, and jump across the abyss, towards the lower-right passageway. (Make a long jump across the abyss.)
Follow that passageway. Go west at an intersection, and turn a handle. (This extends a bridge to Ion Capacitor 4.)
Obtain Ion Capacitor 4, but don't cross the bridge. Instead go back into the recent passageway, and upon reaching the intersection, now go north.
Head north again, at the next intersection, to discover Power Generator 1, and bring the collected ion capacitors to the power generator recalibrate it.

four ion capacitors are needed to recalibrate Power Generator 1

3. Power Generator 2

After recalibrating the Power Generator 1, leave the generator room, then go east at the intersection, and turn a handle. (This activates a nearby teleporter.)
Enter the teleporter, and keep heading north until coming back to the ship's main hub (but while standing on a higher plateau), where there is a handle nearby. Turn it. (This opens a door to the north-west, at the ship's main hub area.)
Enter that north-west passageway.
At the end of that passageway, turn a handle (it activates a teleporter), and go into the teleporter.

blue coloured lighting renders this teleporter blue

On exiting from the teleporter, enter a chamber where there is a rotating fan and a bridge.
In that chamber, use the fan's air stream to get up higher, and turn a handle across a bridge. (This activates a hovering platform.)
Jump up onto the plateau above the bridge, and turn another handle. (This opens a passageway below, to the west.)

use an air fan's updraft to get up higher

Move into that now accessible western passageway, then go north at an intersection, and go west at the intersection thereafter.
In the next room, turn a handle behind a screen panel. (This opens a passage to a chamber where below there are lasers and fans.)
Jump on the nearest rotating air fan in that chamber to get to a higher platform, then jump to a platform where Ion Capacitor 1 is on, and obtain Ion Capacitor 1.

the first ion capacitor (which is to be used for the second power generator) can be found near some air fans

After obtaining Ion Capacitor 1, turn a handle near some screen panels, on the same platform Ion Capacitor 1 was on. (This opens a door, in the previous area.)
Return to the previous area, and enter the recently opened passageway.
At the next intersection, go through the northern door. (The door south leads to some equipment.)
Past the door north, is a large air tunnel with air fans on both ends. There is a high-, and low altitude passageway in the air tunnel.

in an air tunnel, a high altitude passageway leads to a checkpoint station

Enter the high altitude passageway, and discover Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Sewers.

this pyramid structure is Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Sewers

After discovering Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Sewers, return to the air tunnel, and now take the low altitude passageway.
Exit from the low passageway, and enter a chamber that has a screen panel on a lower level, with a handle near it.

there is an unidentified handle in this chamber

Jump down on the lower walkway, and turn a handle. (This activates a hovering platform.)
Stand on the hovering platform to reach a walkway above, and turn another handle. (This does something, but it's not obvious what it does exactly. But turn it, just in case.)
After turning the handle, go into a vent to the right, and to the left of two glass wall sections, then move through a few vent chambers. (This takes time to accomplish.)
Exit from the vent chambers into the chamber visited earlier, but on the other side of the glass walls.
In that chamber, obtain Ion Capacitor 2, and turn two handles. (The first handle extents a bridge to a previous area, the other handle opens a door to the north.)
Ignore the bridge, and move through the opened door to the north, into a passageway, then head east at an intersection to locate an Eye of Truth symbol. (This path leads to a handle that needs to be turned, to disable part of the forcefield at the ship's main hub area.)

this path needs to be revisited, after obtaining the Eye of Truth talisman

Without the Eye of Truth talisman, it is impossible to proceed. So, instead, return to the previous intersection, and go north, to discover a teleporter.
Activate the teleporter, and enter it.
Exit from the teleporter, and turn a handle inside an oval passageway. (This opens a nearby doorway for a limited time.)
After turning the handle, quickly go through that doorway, and into an elevator platform.
When the elevator platform arrives at the top floor, go in either directions.
The next chamber houses Ion Capacitor 3 and Ion Capacitor 4. Turn a handle near some screen panels. (This opens two doors behind the ion capacitors, for a limited time.)

obtain both ion capacitors, before heading onwards

After turning a handle, quickly jump over an abyss, and through either doorways, to obtain Ion Capacitor 3, and enter the next chamber before the doors close.
There are four handles in this chamber. Turn either handles at the panels near the outer edges of the chamber, to reopen the doors (which closed after a limited time). Turn the appropriate handle, and jump back into the previous chamber, to obtain Ion Capacitor 4.
Once more, turn the handle near some screen panels. (This opens the two doors, for a limited time.)
After turning the handle, quickly jump through either doorway, and into the chamber with the four switches (and obtain Ion Capacitor 4, if not already done).
Once back inside the chamber with the four handles, now turn both central handles. (The handle to the north opens a doorway to the north-east, the other handle opens a door to the south-east.)
Enter the doorway to the south-east, and recalibrate Power Generator 2.

the second power generator should also be recalibrated

4. Power Generator 3

After recalibrating Power Generator 2, return to the chamber with the four handles, and now enter the passageway to the north-east.
At the end of that passageway, turn a handle, and enter a teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, go south at an intersection, until arriving at the ship's main hub, while standing on a higher plateau.
Turn a handle near some screen panels on that high plateau. (This opens the north-east passageway, at the ship's main hub.)
After turning the handle, move down from the plateau, and go through that north-east passageway.
In the passageway, turn a handle, once trapped, then turn another handle and enter a nearby teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter and go north at an intersection. (The path to the south leads to some equipment.)
At a next intersection, go through a doorway to the north. (The passageway to the west leads to more equipment.)
Exit from the doorway into a chamber where there is a handle on a plateau. Get up on the plateau by using a elevator platform below.)
On the plateau, turn the handle. (This activates another hovering platform.)

Ion Capacitor 1 is in a tunnel, behind a plateau with screen panels

Jump on that hovering platform to get unto the higher walkway at north side of the chamber. (Also obtain Ion Capacitor 1 in a tunnel to the west.)
From the higher walkway, walk up a stairs, and go into a next passageway to the north.
In the passageway, turn three handles. (This opens a passageway to an inner chamber.)
In the inner chamber, obtain Ion Capacitor 2.

Ion Capacitor 2 is inside an inner chamber

After obtaining Ion Capacitor 2, turn a handle, and exit through the passageway south-east. (Continue onwards.)
In that passageway, ignore a tunnel that leads through a wall, instead enter a door, and discover Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Control Deck.

before entering a tunnel in a wall, discover a checkpoint station

After discovering Checkpoint Station: Lightship - Control Deck, return to the tunnel in the wall, and climb in.
Crawl through a series of vents, and eventually exit from the vent system into a passageway.
In the passageway, at an intersection, go south. (North leads to a room with some equipment.)
At the end of the passageway, turn a handle (this activates a nearby teleporter), then enter a teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, go west at an next intersection. (The pathway south leads to some equipment.)
At a next intersection is a Leap of Faith symbol, step on it to locate a handle. Turn it. (This disables the one of the four forcefields at the ship's main hub.)

the Leap of Faith symbol leads to a handle which disables a forcefield at the ship's main hub

After turning the handle, step on another Leap of Faith symbol, and at the previous intersection now go through a doorway to the west, and into another passageway.
Exit from the passageway into another chamber, where is a handle beyond a stairs. Turn it, this opens a doorway to the west of the handle for a limited time.
Quickly go up another stairs, and go inside the chamber beyond that opened doorway, and obtain Ion Capacitor 3.

some doorways only stay open for a limited time, after turning a handle

After obtaining Ion Capacitor 3, turn a nearby handle. (A doorway to the east now opens, for a limited time.)
Quickly go up another stairs, and go inside the chamber beyond the recently opened doorway and obtain Ion Capacitor 4.

After recalibrating Power Generator 3, go back to the previous chamber (the one with the screen panels), and through the eastern door, and into a teleporter. (The teleporter needs to be activated first.)
On exiting from the teleporter, go south, up to a plateau which leads back to the ship's main hub.
While standing on the higher plateau, turn a handle. (This opens a doorway to south-east in the ship's main hub.)

a handle near the ship's main hub opens the south-east passageway

After turning the handle, go down from the plateau, and enter the south-east passageway.
At the end of the south-east passageway, turn a handle. (This activates another teleporter.)
After turning the handle, enter the teleporter.
Exit from the teleporter, then go through a door, and enter an area where there are two pillars. (Both pillars have screen panels around them).
In the area with the two pillars, continue going west.
Either route west will lead past a passageway higher up, which cannot be reached from below. Continue going onward, to eventually locate a lower area, where there are two handles, and obtain Ion Capacitor 1 from that place.
After obtaining Ion Capacitor 1, turn both switches. (This opens a nearby door, granting access through a western passageway.)

Ion Capacitor 1 can be found near two handles

Beyond a door, and inside the western passageway is an inactive teleporter. Turn a handle to activate the teleporter, and then go into the teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, move through a passageway, and enter Assembly Plant 1. (Ion Capacitor 2 can be seen, when entering the Assembly Plant 1.)

Ion Capacitor 2 can be found in Assembly Plant 1

Move east, over an orange platform, and then go north at an intersection, and up a stairs to a higher area.
At the higher area, turn a handle. (This opens a door to the south, beyond the intersection.)
After turning the handle, head south, past at the intersection, and into a now open passageway.
The passage leads past two (high pressure) tanks, then through a tunnel, and into a chamber with a handle.
Inside the chamber where there is a handle, turn the handle. (This opens two doorways to the north, for a limited time.)
Quickly run through both doorways, and into another chamber with a handle. (Turning this handle will release an adversary.)
Continue onwards past that chamber, and into a corridor, and step onto an elevator platform at the end of the corridor.
Get off the elevator platform, and move onto a higher area, where there are some creatures inside containment tanks, and turn a handle located on that higher area. (This activates the orange platform below, which can then be used as a bridge, to cross over to another higher area, where there are more containment tanks.)
Before using the orange platform to cross over to the other side, obtain Ion Capacitor 2 by jumping towards it.

Ion Capacitor 2 can be obtained after passing by some containment tanks

Once having reached the other higher area by using the orange platform, locate a box that has moving cylinders inside of it. Remove the lock, and destroy the machinery inside the box. (This will destroy Assembly Plant 1.)

attack the machine box to destroy Assembly Plant 1

6. Warp Portal 1 (feather)

After destroying Assembly Plant 1, press a warp portal switch, next to the ruined machine box.

left of the ruined machine box is a warp portal switch

After pressing the warp portal switch, turn a handle near some screen panels, to open a nearby passageway to the south.
Move through the southern passageway, and notice Warp Portal 1, beyond a doorway to the east. (It requires the Grey Eagle Feather, which is nearby.)
Ignore Warp Portal 1 for now, and instead go into a southern corridor, and turn a handle to activate a teleporter, and enter the teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, move through a glass passageway. (Through the glass, Assembly Plant 2, can be seen.)
Walk all the way around Assembly Plant 2, by following the passageway, until arriving at a pink device.
Walk around the pink device, and obtain the Grey Eagle Feather.

the Grey Eagle Feather is hidden behind a pink device

After obtaining the Grey Eagle Feather, walk back through the glass passageway, around Assembly Plant 2, and back into the teleporter (which is already activated because it was used earlier).
On exiting from the teleporter, go through the doorway to the east, and into Warp Portal 1, to obtain the Eye of Truth talisman.

return to the Warp Portal 1, after obtaining the feather from behind a pink device

7. Assembly Plant 2

After obtaining the Eye of Truth talisman, return to the teleporter to the south, and enter the teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, move through the glass hallway. (Through the glass, Assembly Plant 2 can be seen.)
Walk all the way around Assembly Plant 2, by following the hallway, until arriving at the pink device.
Destroy the pink device to destroy Assembly Plant 2.

this device keeps the Assembly Plant 2 from breaking down

8. Assembly Plant 3

After destroying Assembly Plant 2, obtain Ion Capacitor 3 near the pink device.

the disabled pink device has Ion Capacitor 3 near it

After obtaining Ion Capacitor 3, leave through a teleporter to the south. (This requires the teleporter to be activated first, by turning a nearby handle.)
On exiting the from teleporter, notice an inactive Warp Portal 2 to the north.

Warp Portal 2 leads to a nuke weapon part

Go through the doorway to the west, and through a glass passageway. (Through the glass, Assembly Plant 3 can be seen.)
Beyond that passageway there are red lasers, blocking a path onward.
At those red lasers, move through an eastern passageway, then through a doorway that leads into another passageway.
This passageway has a screen panel, with a handle near it. Turn that handle. (This opens the door to Assembly Plant 3.)
Inside the assembly plant, obtain two blue laser cells.

take two blue laser cells, from Assembly Plant 3

After obtaining both blue laser cells, travel back through the passageway, and bring them to the device that creates the red lasers. (This turns the red lasers into blue lasers, which are harmless, and now grant passage. Make sure to also obtain the two red laser cells that previously powered the blockade.)

exchange two red laser cells, with two blue laser cells

After obtaining both red laser cells, travel back through the passageway, and bring them to Assembly Plant 3. (This destroys Assembly Plant 3.)

bring two red laser cells to Assembly Plant 3, to destroy it

9. Warp Portal 2 (nuke)

After destroying Assembly Plant 3, head back into the passageway, to the blue lasers (which now granting access into a passageway beyond them), and obtain Ion Capacitor 4.
After obtaining the capacitor, look for a warp portal switch near it, and press it. (This activates Warp Portal 2, which was passed by earlier.)

press a warp portal switch to activate Warp Portal 2

After pressing the switch, go north, up the stairs.
Past the stairs, go through a passageway, and through a door, then go north to now activated Warp Portal 2, which leads to a nuke weapon part.

enter Warp Portal 2 to obtain the final part of the nuke weapon

10. Power Generator 4

After obtaining the nuke weapon part, move through the western doorway, and past the glass passageway.
After the glass passageway, move past the blue lasers.

Power Generator 4 is beyond the lasers

Beyond the blue lasers is Power Generator 4.

at Power Generator 4 is a tunnel beneath the surface of some unidentified liquid

Bring the four collected ion capacitors to Power Generator 4 to recalibrate it.
Dive into the liquid that surrounds Power Generator 4, and swim through a tunnel that leads to a chamber with a handle. Turn the handle. (This disables one of the four forcefield generators at the ship's main hub.)

this handle will disable the third of the four forcefield generators, at the ship's main hub

After recalibrating Power Generator 4, go north past the blue lasers, and then into a teleporter to the west. (It requires activation by turning a nearby handle.)
Exit from the teleporter, and enter an area which was visited earlier, then head west, into another teleporter.
On exiting from the teleporter, keep going west at the next intersection, until arriving on a plateau higher up, near the ship's main hub.
On the higher plateau is a handle. Turn that handle. (This opens a doorway to the north of the ship's main hub.)
Enter the passageway north of the main hub, and exit the Primagen's Lightship, through it's exit portal. (Primagen Key 6 will be acquired in the final section of this guide.)
