Fool's Gold - Windowed Room with Mercenaries and Switch
After collecting the first secret, as shown in the previous section, exit the room with the wooden crates, turn right, and follow the hallway to the end. Turn right and go through the door you opened earlier with the first switch.
Climb over the metal ledge and continue forward...
...to a windowed room with 2 enemies (8-9) pacing around inside. If you walk along the ledge near the windows, a door opens, and the guy with the baton (8) comes out...
...and makes his way around toward you.
Shoot him as he approaches.
Then take his small medi pack (12). Continue forward and around the corner to the left...
...then left again.
You'll end up on the other side of the windowed room, facing a low, metal ledge with a square door just to the right of it. Vault over the metal ledge.
Then enter the room and take on the second mercenary (9).
When he's dead, relieve him of 2 boxes of shotgun shells (13-14).
Inside, at the far end of the room, is another switch.
Use it to open the door you just passed
Exit the windowed room, vault over the metal ledge, turn left, and go through the door you just opened.
NOTE: On the way out, notice the dead-end hallway ahead with the carved portraits of Joseph Stalin. You'll return later for a secret.
DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's official add-on/extension site.)
