Gonarch's Lair
Gonarch must be the name of the gigantic mommy headrab which you will
quickly confront on this level. Its weak spot is that big hanging sac
hanging underneath it. While firing away, be sure to keep your distance as
its claws can eviscerate you instantly; other threats include big poisonous
globs that it can shoot at you, and little baby headrabs which do 1 point
of damage (but they add up if you let them continue).
After you shoot it enough Gonarch will run away down a cavern. Follow
it onto the second battleground. You can drop down a hole in the corner
which will lead you to a healing pool which can come in handy. Use the
bouncy crater to propel yourself back up into the action. The hornet gun
is a good albeit slow way to hurt Gonarch; the hornets go straight for the
fleshy underbelly, although it takes quite a while to put a dent in the thing.
After Gonarch flees for a second time, watch out for a big drop. Once
underneath Gonarch, keep firing at the sac until it drops down through the
web into the little cavern with you. If you're smart you'll have placed a
couple detpacks right where Gonarch drops down onto, and you'll be able to
blow it apart quickly enough.
Hop down into the pit created when Gonarch died. Be sure and use the
healing pool before going through the teleport.
