Be absolutely sure that you reserve some ammunition or explosives to deal with them or else you will not be able to complete the final mission.		* The life support batteries around the coffin in level 3 can not be damaged by melee weapons or thermal shok bombs.

	The map is roughly a spiral leading to the Ultimate Alien's coffin. Aside from not being able to save, your overhead map will not function properly! You won't be able to see the terrain, only your aquanauts, aliens and dropped items. Also, your SWSs can't move through the doors unless you knock them down with Disruptor Pulse Launchers. You'd need a LOT of ammo to knock down all the doors you need to pass to reach the end.		The map is roughly a spiral leading to the Ultimate Alien's coffin.

			Also, your SWSs can't move through the doors unless you knock them down with Disruptor Pulse Launchers. You'd need a LOT of ammo to knock down all the doors you need to pass to reach the end. However, whilst it's true that the door frames adjacent to the doors are impervious to everything except DPLs, this is not true of the frames above the doors - if you aim at the frame on top, you can shoot it out easily with the Displacer / Sonic cannon and get your SWS through. This speeds things up significantly, especially as you probably won't be using ground-hugging Coelacanths by this point.

	Fortunately, the map is mostly straightforward, with only a couple of dead-ends. It's also quite large, so your agents will run out of energy if you advance too quickly.

	This level looks like the second part of an [[Artefact Site]] mission, but the map layout is different and there are only two levels (or "floors"). You must kill all aliens ~~as you~~ move your units to the lift (bright yellow floor) and press the "abort mission" button. Note that this lift is on the upper level (l1).

You must kill all aliens or move your units to the lift (bright yellow floor) and press the "abort mission" button. Note that this lift is on the upper level (l1).

	The map consists of three very large rooms and a multitude of smaller chambers. Most of these are connected to 3-4 other chambers, which makes them good for setting ambushes - watch your back! The large rooms are usually filled alien power generators, hibernation chambers and the like, and are less likely to hold aliens. Instead, most aliens will reside in the smaller rooms, either patrolling around the lower floor or hiding on the upper one. The aliens are not very aggressive; most will hole up and MC your troops.

	*The 80 item limit really hurts. So make sure you only bring along stuff that's essential. As per the previous note, Disrupter Pulse Launchers and Thermal Shok Launchers are plentiful and can be scavenged off the aliens, so you will not need to bring great quantities of them in. Concentrate on the essentials like MC Disruptors, Medi-Kits, Sonic weapons, ammo and close combat weapons. Additionally, there are few [[Sonic Pulser]]s in the T'Leth levels, so be prepared to bring an extra helping of them if you wish to use them.		*The 80 item limit really hurts.
