Achievements:Mission 09 cleared (20)
“Rainbow” explorer (20)
Your first encounter…more NEVEC soldiers. Kill them, and grab yourself a new Plasma Gun.
Use the crates or trucks for cover as you activate the Data Post. As you look to the east you’ll notice several VS and Turntables, you’ll want to destroy from the safety of this point. Three of the VS’s are sitting on small landing platforms in the ditch or by the cliff.

Move ahead and under the overpass you’ll find some VS weapons to help take out further NEVEC forces. Anchor up to the large platforms by the poring lava and up to the highway. If you still need to take out some VS, the Turntable is an excellent weapon right now. Blow open the transport container, and take a Granseed, or X-Seed. (I Suggest Granseed).

Over the Lava, watch for two X-Seeds, activate the Data Post, and through the gate.
A few Jellon in here but nothing to fret about. In the shaft, blow up all Genessa, Sydsepia, and Jellon you can see.

As soon as it’s safe, activate the Data Post and anchor down to the next level. Once in the Cakti use it to drill your way through the cave.
Once you encounter the Godon and Bolsepia, use the Cakti to blow through these beasts, and onward until you encounter a few Dongo, and the larger cavern. Grab the Granseed once you can, and continue to the next chamber. Watch out for the Skalt, they’ll push right up infront of you on this path. Nothing the Granseed can’t take care of, but they can catch you off guard.

As soon as you blast the doors open at the end of the mineshafts you’re back at the NEVEC dome fortress. When you clear the Akrid, and the Godon is it came up the ramped entrance, blast open the storage container, and grab the Hardballer. Move into the next section to activate the Data Post, kill the infesting Bolsepia and Genessa, and move into the domed chamber ahead. 
Battle Tencale:
Well this battle may remind you of the Roman Coliseum. Stay to the outer edge as the Tencale emerges so as not to be hit by some of its annoying attacks.

As you are fighting you’ll also have dozens of Bolsepia to attend to or ignore. Just remember, Bolsepia explode T-Eng, and cause damage as such at close range, try to blow them up while they are near the Tencale. Be sure to avoid its stinger attack. It’s a bit hard to predict but when you see it pulling back to whip out at you, you can time yourself and dash aside quickly.

The Tencale will try several other attacks such swinging its legs to try and smash you like other Akrid before it. Be careful when moving under it as well, the Tencale will drop itself on top of you if given the chance. Likewise the Tencale will ensure it will shoot you with webbing and pull you towards the Bolsepia.

Besides the warning I’m sure you’d like tips to beating the Tencale. Well as you should guess, the Tencales weak spot are the joints on its legs. Shoot off at least two legs and bring the Tencale down, you’ll have a few seconds time to blast away at the kill spot on the Tencales back now.

After a few seconds the legs will grow back, and the Tencale will be standing upright again. Everytime you blow off those legs, remember to collect the T-Eng. Likely the Hardballer will be destroyed. Its okay, you’ll have an X-Seed and a Cakti in the room. Never waste a minute even between dashing away from an attack, keep hammering its legs to get to that back. If you do switch to the X-Seed next, your shotgun will inflict heavier damage to its back, and can finish it off.
