-In the first room, the one with the hologram of the Heretic Leader, there are five combat flood forms on the ground. You should firstly sword all of these bodies, so that they don't get revived. Killing the two allied Grunts saves time by skipping dialogue, but you should take care to avoid aggravating the Elites. One way to do this is to kill one Grunt immediately as the level begins, and then to kill the other immediately after the Heretic Leader hologram appears.
+==The First Room==
 Next, pick up a new sword and pick up a sentinel beam (both found on the dead bodies of the flood combat forms). Dropping your carbine near the exit door is recommended; this way when the door opens you can swap it with your sentinel beam without losing any time.
-Afterwards, jump up onto the pillars, or further up into the rafters of the room. It is about to flood (literally) with infection forms. The waves can spawn in any of the various holes around the upper walls. Two initial waves spawn in these holes, then two in the center, then two in the holes again, then two in the center followed by a final wave from the holes. Be ready by the door as the final wave spawns.

-==== The Elevator ====
+===''Legendary''===
-The elevator is an auto-scroller as far as anyone knows. So long as you avoid death, there is no real timesave or timeloss for the first few minutes. The flood combat forms can be killed from afar before they reach the elevator, and a lot of the time the real threat is posed by your elite allies, who can melee you to death and stick you. Punching them off the edge or just flat-out killing them is advisable for this reason, though it should be noted that the second one may be aggravated.
+==The Elevator==
-Eventually, there will be a wave of sentinels that spawns. A canister of gas on the elevator floor will begin to rise, and if you watch it you will see it change color when it emerges fully. At this precise moment, the kill-floor beneath the elevator despawns and you can drop down to the platform to continue the level (be sure to drop down on the correct side, with the canister on your left if facing the center of the elevator). The audio cue that plays shortly afterwards can alternatively be used as timing. You have to drop down in two stages to avoid dying to fall-timer. It will likely take some practice to consistently drop down without bouncing off into empty space.
+===''Easy''===
-Sword cancel down the hallway after the elevator and you will be in the Flood/Hell room.
+Ride the elevator down. We currently cannot skip this section.

If you're having difficulty with the timing, watch this example from the current WR: [[https://youtu.be/9Peb3-z0X_w?t=263 Elevator Drop Example]]
 This room takes some practice to execute correctly. There is a Sentinel Beam by your feet as you enter, which you should pick up before dropping down.

 Another complication can arise if you knock him out of the tube; he will not fly back up once you deal enough damage to him if he is too close to the wall. If you do this, just push him closer to the center of the Hangar using your sword and he should resume as normal.
 On the third and final bit of dialogue, drop his shields with the sword, and back off to shoot him in the face with your Carbine as his dialogue ends. He will now finally die and the level will end.

 The initial wave of enemies that are already in the room include a number of carrier forms of flood, 2 heretic grunts on turrets, and one heretic elite. Also, there are dead combat forms of flood on the ground. It's recommended to take care of the grunts and heretic elite first, optionally grenading the combat form so he doesn't come back later, then killing the carrier forms with the sentinel beam all as fast as possible. Take note that when you kill the carrier flood there will be a lot of infection forms running around. After you eliminate all those enemies mentioned, the next wave will spawn. The next wave will include three heretic elites, carrier forms and combat forms. It's recommended to kill the elites first, then get rid of the carriers and combat flood. After you kill all of them the final waves will start spawning. From here out the waves will be all combat flood. Use your carbine and sword to get rid of them as fast as possible. Eventually the door on the far side of the room will open and you will be able to proceed. Kill the enemies that come out of the door because if you don't they can delay the door locking.
-==== The Elevator Room ====
+==== The Second Elevator Room ====
 You continue to chase the Heretic Leader and eventually wind up in a room where he's behind a shielded door. There are three sentinels and four combat flood forms in this room (usually). Kill them as fast as possible and the screen will fade to white. Skip the cutscene and you are now tasked to go up the elevator and cut the cables at the top. There are shortcuts to get to the elevator faster, I recommend watching the IL video to see these shortcuts as they're hard to explain. Once you get to the elevator and go to the top, there will be three cables to cut. The order you cut the cables in doesn't matter. The first cable can be cut as soon as possible so you should try and get to it as fast as possible. The next two cables are on a timer and can only be cut after a certain amount of time, so you don't have to get to them as fast as possible, walking will be fine.
