Kid A Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thank you, this has come in really handy. I think COG 20 should be under the next chapter (Evolution) if it's the same one I'm thinking of(top right corner of room with breakable floorboards, possible to fall to the bottom) though.

Punisher0587 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I find this list a bit hard to follow. I have found a few going by this list. Maybe it's because it's my first time going through the game and I don't exactly know what the areas are that's being described. Thanks for the list though.

Crash Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 That's the one I can't find either. Any better description you can provide? Let's see, from what I remember, you will enter a room with the carts that you have to ride in. In that room there will be some stairs leading down to the carts. Walk down to the carts and do a 180. You will now be facing the stairs and the cog tag is on the floor just left of the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that you go down there and grab the tags before you flip the switch to activate the carts. Otherwise you'll automatically get in the carts and miss your chance to grab the tags unless you reload the checkpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
