Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Walkthrough Part 9 – Punch It (Coolant Lake)
Follow the engineer to the far side of the platform. He will try to overload the reac5tor from there but he winds up locked out. He will explain there are 3 switches underwater that need to be tripped for them to manually begin the process. If you need more ammo and supplies, head back into the dam and look on the left-hand wall to find a store. After that it is time to dive into the lake and start searching for the switches.
Each of the switches is marked underwater which helps a lot. HUD will be on the fritz and throwing out some odd one-liners so enjoy them. Keep close to the platform and work quickly. The faster you are out of the water the less of a chance the cyber sharks will have to home in on you.
The first is found along the outside of the platform. Dive down and look for a pipe running into the ground. On this pipe you will find the first shunt. Now it is time to head for the second shunt. Get underneath the walkway you came in on. Swim up to the first pipe there and search around to find the shunt on it. The final shunt is found opposite the first one, just higher up the water against the pillar supporting the platform. Now start swimming for the surface in a hurry and climb on out.
If you did not restock earlier, this is your last chance before the next big fight. There is a store terminal just inside the dam. Grab what you need then head over to the Engineer. He will explain he is going to work at exposing the reactor core so you can take it down. You can either stick by the Engineer as he works or head for the bridge you took in. Take a little time to search the control room the Engineer is in. You can find a high speed Gatling gun in there which is great for the fight.
This fight works out to be something fairly simple. You will first be fending off attackers from the bridge leading out from the dam. After that you have a pair of patrol boats moving in to attack from the sides. After the second set of boats you will be nearly done with the fight. After 2 sets of boats and 3 attacks from the dam things will change up. You will find a few more coming out. Gun them down as well and another ship will appear. It sometimes just crashes into the reactor and sits there. Take out the people on the ship and you are good to start the final part of this mission.
The Engineer will succeed, mostly, in getting the reactor to go critical. He explains that to set off the reaction you need to punch the reactor. Head over to the exposed part of the reactor and hit it with a melee attack. The reactor will overload and take out the engineer, Benji. That will tie up the mission.
