[edit] Situation
The Player will start out this level with whatever weapon he had on the previous level, and will be inside of a train car. The Player will soon have to face one of the leaders of the Locust Forces, General RAAM.
[edit] Walkthrough
NOTE: For more detailed walkthrough, see the General RAAM article.
You will start this level inside of a train car, and immediately you will see two doors in the front end of the train, Don't Go Through Them Yet, because you are not ready yet. You should be advised that General RAAM is on the other side of the doors.
[edit] Stocking up on Ammo
You should go around the cart and pick up ammo and find the weapon that you wish to use. I recommend using the Torque Bow,and Longshot Sniper Rifle, but, you can also use a different combinations, by using the Lancer Assault Rifle interchangeably with the Torque Bow, you should always keep the Longshot. After you have chosen the weapon you want, notice the respawning ammo caches. Why not be even more prepared with some extra-powerful rounds? For any non-explosive weapon, fire off the entire clip and get a perfect Active Reload. Re-stock afterwards, then you may walk through the doors.
[edit] Defeating General RAAM
You must immediately take cover and wait for RAAM's portable Chain Gun to stop firing. After his Chain Gun stops firing, you should fire the Torque Bow, or any other explosive weapon at him, and cause his Kryll shield to stop surrounding him and scatter, giving you time to shoot his head with the Longshot. Once the Kryll return to RAAM, the player should use Cover once again. Repeat these steps over and over, until you kill him. If he gets too close to you, then you must Cover slip (DON'T CLIMB OVER!) the Cover point and Roadie Run past him and to the other side of the train car.
Keep repeating these steps until RAAM dies, and you will have beaten back the most notorious General in the Locust Horde.
If you use the troika seen in the cutscene, RAAM will send Kryll at you and you will die.
[edit] End Cutscene
As soon as RAAM has been killed, you will first see him die a dramatic death with blood flying out of his upper body and falling to the ground. As he lays motionless and dead, Dom quickly jumps onto the Raven that the rest of the squad was on. Marcus moves forward and preps the Lightmass Bomb with the tunnel data. He then senses that the bridge will end, with the camera scrolling forward and showing the broken part of the bridge. As the Tyro Pillar closes in on the edge, Marcus will jump at the last second onto the Raven just before the train falls into the Imulsion below. Hanging by one hand held by Dom, Colonel Hoffman steps forward and holds out a hand as well, clearly forgiving Marcus for his previous crimes and charges. The two then pull Marcus into the Raven and out of danger.
The rest of the cutscene shows the Lightmass Bomb being deployed and detonating from the Tyro Pillar into the heart of The Hollow. Colonel Hoffman delivers a victory speech as various camera angles show the destruction of the Locust's stronghold. These angles showed several Locust including Drones, Grenadiers, and Corpsers dying hundreds at a time. However, the Locust Queen's voice is heard shortly after Hoffman's speech, claiming the Locust Horde will continue to fight despite their massive losses, probably implying the eventual release of a sequel to Gears of War.
