Regulator

Regulator is the ninth level in Far Cry. Jack has to create a backflow surge in the steam produced in this facility by maximizing its pressure and then reversing the main flow, which will result in the destruction of the structure that regulates the steam. 
The purpose of this task is never stated, but damaging the mercenaries' infrastructure on the island seems to be the main goal. At the end of the level, destroying the regulator coincides with a trigen outbreak, which suggests that the former caused the latter, but it is also possible that Valerie released the trigens herself. In Bunker, Doyle advises Val and Jack to release them in order to distract the mercenaries. Either way, the release of the trigens was a deliberate action, but it is unclear who caused it.
== Overview ==
Jack passes through the loading area while a truck with workers pulls away towards the facility. Because the bridge connecting the outdoor area to the building across the reservoir is collapsed, he has to make his way up a tower and use the Flying fox.
Doyle warns of lethal areas inside the building where extremely hot steam is released. This forces Jack to look for roundabout routes to the junctions, as some passages are blocked by streams of vapor. He also needs to find three keycards to gain access to each junction room. Once there, he turns the valves to set the pressure to maximum. This also shuts off the steam in the hallway, allowing him to proceed.
The last step is to reverse the main flow from the control panel which, as Doyle explains, will cause a cascade big enough to destroy the regulator core. Jack gets to the control panel and presses the button on a computer. An explosion throughout the building ensues, and the computer starts to spark. Valerie tells Jack to wait for her in a ventilation shaft until she returns from the Archives. 
When Jack enters the shaft, a cutscene shows a trigen outbreak. In addition to the already known mutated primates, the player can see human mutants for the first time, who are smart enough to use firearms and release other trigens. They manage to kill the guards and spread over the island.
