  • Activate the Ventrica Station at the top, which will be helpful for Act 2.
  • From the Station, go down and left, across the long path with a glass floor.

You can either choose to fight the guards you encounter at the end of the path for money or bypass them by executing a dive kick to bounce over them instead.
