After her rescue, Blink opens a portal to the other section of the Dead
Zone and you automatically jump through. There's an Xtraction point nearby
for saving your game. It's a relatively short distance to the entrance to
the Cerci Caverns. You'll be thrown into the Caverns automatically when you
first approach the entrance, so run back out, go past the entrance and pick
up your first homing beacon.
In the first large "room" of the Caverns, you'll find your first security
code module, which looks like a computer and has a green arrow floating
over it. It is also marked on your map with a large, red X. Use it to add
the codes to your collection.
In the third room you enter in the Caverns, there's a Danger Room Disc
(Throwing 102) in the middle of the room. Shortly thereafter, you'll cross
a narrow bridge over a cavern. To your left will be a platform that
requires a flier or bridge builder to reach. Cross to it to pick up another
homing beacon.
You exit the Caverns into the Barren Cliffs. You quickly reach a bridge
formed by a burned-out airship. As you get ready to cross, you meet
Grizzly. Yay. After exchanging barbed witticisms, turn around to search the
brush for a data disc. Collect 4 data discs and get a bonus to your
health/energy pack carrying capacity. Yay!
Head over the bridge and go left. Build a bridge when you reach the chasm,
then another to reach a weapon cache. Return from whence you came and go
the other way to another Grizzly encounter. Make sure to pick up your
second security module (marked with the red X on your map) as you go.
After Grizzly runs off, break the box with the red X floating over it to
turn off the flame jets. Save your game at the Xtraction point and head
after Grizzly to the Desolate Mesa. First up is the radar array that's been
aiming attacks at you the whole time. Destroy it, then head down and to the
left of the main path. You'll find a +2 Focus tech station, Bishop's comic
and a sketch book unlocking the Dead Zone, Dead Zone Enemy and Magneto
concept artwork.
Continue on the main path, it doesn't matter which way you go to get to
your boss fight against Grizzly. Grizzly is all about melee attacks, so
staying out of range and hitting him with Power Combos will work wonders.
Afterward, pick up the last security module and head back to the Barren
Cliffs.
