Walkthrough
- This section needs expansion.
The power station is under IRIS control. It's full of robots coming straight from automated assembly lines and other surprises such as toxic gas and cryogas in ventilation shafts.

- Find Entertainment Room Keycard in the offices of the first area.
- Head east to the second area and find Janitor's Closet Keycard in the northeast end.
- Return to the first area and find janitor's closet in the southwest corner, grab Recharge Pad Generator Key and Assembly Control Room 2 Keycard.
- The recharge pad generator key can be used to disable robot shield recharging stations.
- Return to the second area, find assembly control room #2 and descend into the utility section.
- Find Utility Key, make your way through the spiders.
- If you have high enough perception/snooping, you can find a hidden trapdoor in the toxic storage room leading directly to the storage and skip most of this area.
- Find Utility Storage Keycard and head to the storage in southeast.
- Grab Utility Keycard from the storage and head up into the main hall.
- Find Utility Key, make your way through the spiders.
- In the main hall, find Senad Roberts' Office Keycard on the second floor.
- You can exit the power station through the main doors at this point.
- Return to the first area and find Power Control Room Keycard in the station manager's office.
- Head back to the main hall and take the elevator to the power management room.
Power Management console
Due to extensive damage and decades without maintenance, the powerplant produces less 10 MW out of its 3000 MW capacity. Some power lines have also been damaged.
There isn't enough power to power up both Caerus Residential Block and Hollow Earth research complex at the same time, but both must be powered and visited at least once.
| Location | Can be powered? |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Research Complex | Yes | Access to laboratories containing Organic Processor and Mutagen Scanner. Necessary to open the gate leading to Tchort and solve the optional Mutagen Puzzle. |
| Tithonus Lab | No | Running on internal backup power generator. |
| Mutagen Tanks A | Yes | Must be powered to open the gate leading to Tchort between Mutagen tanks A and B. |
| Mutagen Tanks B | No | No power required. |
| Arke Power Station | No | Power must be deallocated to disable IRIS defenses and robot manufacturing. |
| Warehouse Block 1 | No | No power required. |
| Warehouse Block 2 | Yes | Toxic Storage in WB2 contains two Hydraulic Fluid Canisters and a Hydro-Pneumatic Accumulator. Parts required to repair the gate mechanism. |
| BCAF - Detachment Hollow Earth | No | Unknown Biocorp Armed Forces location. Possibly Cytosine Outpost, which has its own power. |
| Talos Outpost | No | The Faceless outpost east of warehouse blocks. |
| Caerus Residential Block | Yes | Caerus apartments contain Maria Hope's Keycard and many computer logs. Each time power is allocated to Caerus, a group of coil spiders inside the buildings awaken. |
| Tartarus Maximum Security Prison | No | Unknown location. |
| South Elevator | No | Faulty powergrid. Must be powered from the Nucleus. |
Dealing with IRIS

- Enter the power station core from the first area
- Find and activate the consoles around the hallways (optionally also shut down 4 recharge pads in the hallways for the upcoming fight)
- Fight IRIS security, including couple of industrial bots and four shock turrets.
- The fight can be skipped with high enough persuasion. (?Verify skill required)
- The AI cores are in the back room, accessible after defeating the bots or persuading IRIS.
