Natla's Mines — Level 13 walkthrough
The famous no-weapons opening. Natla took everything in the previous level's cutscene; you start completely unarmed in a cliffside mining facility.
Phase 1 — stealth recovery
- Climb the cliffs without engaging anything.
- Find the stash room — your gear (pistols, shotgun, magnums, ammo) is inside.
- Boulders, sliding ramps, and the long zip-line are the main hazards.
Don't try to fight any humans early — sprint past, climb to the gear room first.
Phase 2 — lava platforming
After you re-arm, the level transitions to a volcanic biome:
- Lava floor instakills. Stay on the platforms.
- Switch puzzle opens new platforms; some platforms are timed and submerge in lava after a delay.
- Save constantly — every checkpoint is earned.
Phase 3 — Cowboy + Kold + Larson redux
Three gun-toting humans hunt you in the final third of the level. Each is a distinct mini-boss:
- Cowboy — magnums (slow but devastating).
- Kold — shotgun.
- Larson again — same fight as Tomb of Qualopec.
Secrets
- 3 secrets. The hardest is on a lava-pit platform that requires a specific timed jump after pulling a switch.
If stuck: if you can't find your weapons, you bypassed the stash room. Backtrack to the first cave system (right after the cliff climb) — the gear room is on a hidden upper ledge most players miss.
