1 – Get Inside the Electrical Power Station

First, there is a graffiti tag on the grounds called “Hell Hound.” Be sure to collect that if you haven’t already. Head over to the metal frames beside the Electrical Power Station and climb them. From there, you can jump onto the roof and enter the Power Station through the broken windows.

2 – Turn on Generator 1

To power this Station, we need to start at the ground floor. Inside, you may want to search for some tools to collect. On the ground floor are:
-> Red Generator 1
-> Unpowered Gate A
-> Unpowered Gate B

The Green Generator 1 is located underwater beneath Red Generator 1. Dive down to retrieve the cable and connect it to Gate A. Once connected, you can press the button to open the gate. Additionally, there is another Gate A underwater, but you are not required to open it if you choose not to.

As mentioned before, Green Generator 1 is located underwater, directly beneath Red Generator 1. Dive down to retrieve the cable needed to connect Green Generator 1 with Gate A. Behind Gate A, you will find Red Generator 2. Press the button to open the gate.

Please note that there are two additional Gate A locations – one floor above and one floor below. However, opening those is not necessary. I recommend focusing on the flooded Gate A for safety.

The same procedure needs to be followed for Gate B. You can either take the cable directly from Gate A and connect it to Gate B, or you can dive down again to Green Generator 1, retrieve the cable, and then go to Gate B.

Behind Gate B, you’ll find Red Generator 3. An Inhibitor box is located on the flooded floor of Gate B. While it’s optional, you may want to unlock the other two Gate B sections – they aren’t essential for powering the station, but addressing the flooded area is a good precaution. Once that’s done, proceed to connect Green Generator 1 with Red Generator 1, which is no longer required for further use.

3 – Turn on Generator 3

We will begin with Generator 3. Head to the Gate B area and descend the stairs into the flooded area. Straight ahead, there is a passage you can dive through that leads to a staircase going down. Swim down and continue through to reach the flooded room. In this room, you will find Gate C. Dive through and go up the staircase in this new room to reach an aired area containing Generator C.

Retrieve the cable from Green Generator C and connect it to the underwater Red Generator C. To locate it, simply dive down and follow the yellow cables along the floor. Once connected, proceed to open Gate C.

You can now take the cable from Green Generator 3, dive through the now open gate and connect it to Red Generator 3.

Dive through the gate and head up the stairs. You’ll find you can breathe at the ceiling of this room, where you’ll also locate Green Generator 3. Once again, follow the yellow cables to reach a gate that you can unlock. This will bring you to the main area containing Generator 1. Now, take the cable from Green Generator 3, swim through the newly opened gate, and connect it to Red Generator 3.

4 – Turn on Generator 2

To locate Generator 2, head to the Gate A area and descend the stairs into the flooded section. You’ll find a long underwater corridor with scattered dead bodies. Follow the yellow arrow down the staircase, then trace the yellow cable along the floor. This will lead you to a gate that can be opened, providing a direct path back to the main area.

Take a moment to catch your breath, then head back through the gate you just opened. Look up to the level above, and you’ll spot Green Generator 2. Before connecting the generators, ensure you open another gate on the same level as Green Generator 2. Once that’s done, connect Green Generator 2 to Red Generator 2 through the newly opened gate. This step is essential, as the cable won’t reach otherwise.

Now, all that is left to do is take the elevator up to the control room, turn on the Saint Paul Electrical Station, and choose your faction.
