Frequently Asked Questions
===========================================================================
Q: What are the button codes for the cheats in this game?
A: There are none! Rare Ltd. made sure to remove any of the debug
codes before they released the game. There are however two cheats
(including the fabled "All guns" one) you can get for free if you
have the Gameboy version of Perfect Dark & Transfer Pack.
Q: Ever heard of "Perfect Head"?
A: Rare initially had plans to use the Gameboy camera in combination with
the Transfer pack to allow players to map their faces on the heads
of characters in the multiplayer games. Just before the release of
the game the feature was mysteriously removed. Officially, it was
removed due to technical difficulties, but the idea of being able
to shoot your best friends, teachers or other 'real' people caused
too much ethical discussions. As a safety precaution we can only
speculate it was removed due to these reasons.
Q: What are the differences between the difficulty levels?
A: Well, apart from increasing damage and accuracy of your opposition
causes there is more to it. Some are very level specific. See the
"Difficulty levels" section under Controls just below here.
===========================================================================
Controls
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controller (default setup)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-Pad
------------
See C-buttons
Analogue stick
------------
Move forward and back, or turn using the horizontal directions
Start
------------
Pauses the game and brings up the menu
A button
------------
Cycle to next weapon during normal game play. In order to cycle backwards
quickly press 'Z' during the time you hold the 'A' button. Cycling through
weapons also reloads them, thus a quick: 'A', followed by 'A+Z' reloads
your gun without having to watch the entire animation. This however, won't
work with some guns like the Shotgun. To view the quick menu hold down the
'A' button continuously. In menus this confirms the currently selected
option.
B button
------------
Reload your gun, activate consoles, light switches and open/close doors.
If you hold down 'B' for a second your current weapon changes into
secondary firing mode or back. If you press 'Z' quickly while holding 'B'
you'll use your current weapon in the alternate mode once without actually
changing to it. In menus this cancels the currently selected option.
C buttons
------------
C-left/right are used to sidestep. This can be combined with the analogue
stick to strafe run diagonally, which is the fastest running mode.
C-up/down can be used to change your view looking upwards or downwards.
L & R shoulder buttons
------------
Change to aiming mode and make a crosshair appear on screen. During manual
aim you can move the crosshair with the analogue stick and the C-buttons
are used to sidestep (C-left, C-right) / duck 2x (C-down, C-up)
Z button
------------
Use the current item in your hand
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Institute Menu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following five options are available:
Carrington Institute
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Wander around CI headquarters and pay your colleagues a brief visit. Or
perform some basic training in either the Firing range, Device lab or
Hologram room. You may also want to walk around the perimeter as you might
need to visit some of those locations under dire situations later on...
Solo Missions
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There are 17 regular and 4 special bonus missions to play at different
difficulty levels. After beating each of the 17 normal levels at a certain
level in order you can replay any of them at the higher difficulties, but
the last level is only available if you completed all others prior to it.
Beating a level a higher difficulty automatically completes it for you on
the lower settings, unlike in the predecessor Goldeneye. Can you beat them
all on the highest setting?
The bonus levels are truly bonus in the sense you get nothing for beating
them, there are no cheats to be earned there either. However, they show the
parts of the plot from the perspective than Joanna Dark.
Lastly, each of the 17 regular levels bolster 2 cheats to be earned. One
for just beating the level and another for beating the level at a certain
difficulty within in preset time. Most of the times are rather leisurely,
but some can be pretty challenging. Naturally, the time cheats reward you
with better cheats than the ones you get for just beating them.
Combat Simulator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The simulator is the upgraded version of the multiplayer as available in
the previous game. You can select various levels and fully customize the
setup with weapons and other settings. Next to that the game offers AI
controlled bots called simulants. The artificial enemies can be pretty
challenging to beat, but nothing is better than playing this game against
human opposition. Furthermore, this option features 30 challenges which can
be played to unlock even more ludicrous amount of extra options.
Co-Operative
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you like to play the missions with someone else you can do that here.
Any mission unlocked in solo will be available here except for The Duel.
You play as Joanna Dark whereas your friend will be the blonde Velvet Dark
(probably her sister of some sort?). If you don't have any friend to play
with you can play with a simulant, but the AI doesn't really help you out
much.
Beating the game in this mode on each difficulty level grants you the
option of adding another computer controlled simulant in your party. Thus
beating the game on Agent allows you to use 2 buddies on Agent, and beating
the game on PA gives you 4 buddies on Agent, 3 on Special Agent and 2 on
Perfect Agent.
Time cheats can not be completed in this mode however. But if you complete
some level cheats in Solo you can get special buddies, like a dual
Dy357/Dy357-LX wielding buddy.
Counter-Operative
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As the name suggest this allows you to play through each of the levels, but
this time player 2 will take control over a nearby enemy trying to kill
player 1.
Player 2 will only have as much energy/weapons as the enemy has, and also a
suicide pill. If you take the pill the enemy is killed and player 2 is
warped into an enemy nearest to Joanna.
If there are no more regular enemies in the level player 2 will respawn as
a Mr. Blonde. It is however not possible to control Skedar. If such a level
is played player 2 is automatically a Mr. Blonde.
Change Agent...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This options allows you to select a different game file or start a new game
all together.
Options (press Left/Right in the main menu)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A cartload of settings are available to you to tinker around with. I'm not
going to name each and every single feature here as most are rather
straightforward. You can watch the cinematics of the solo player here and
it's also possible to (de)activate Paintball mode as a regular options
rather than a cheat. Activating it creates colorful paint wherever you
shoot in the wall or other background objects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficulty levels
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfect Dark features three basic difficulty levels ranging from easy to
hard: Agent, Special Agent & Perfect Agent. Apart from increasing damage
and accuracy of your opposition causes there is more to it. Some are very
level specific like the 4th mission: Carrington Villa. On Agent/Special
Agent you'll start out as a sniper on top of a cliff needing to save the
negotiator at the dock, but on Perfect Agent you start on the dock _being_
the unarmed negotiator! Here's a short list:
Agent (A)
---------------------
Little damage & poor accuracy of enemy gunfire
Enemies/drone guns/etc. have only 50% health
Weapon pick-ups give 100% ammo capacity (e.g. CMP-150 clip = 20 bullets)
Auto-aim is triggered almost always
2 Shields on every regular assignment*
3 Objectives to complete on regular assignments^
1 Objective to complete on bonus assignments
Special Agent (SA)
---------------------
Medium damage & average accuracy of enemy gunfire
Enemies/drone guns/etc. have 100% health
Weapon pick-ups give 75% ammo capacity (e.g. CMP-150 clip = 15 bullets)
Auto-aim only kicks in at close range
1 Shield on every regular assignment*
4 Objectives to complete on regular assignments
2 Objectives to complete on bonus assignments
Perfect Agent (PA)
---------------------
High damage & great accuracy of enemy gunfire
Enemies/drone guns/etc. have 100% health
Weapon pick-ups give 50% ammo capacity (e.g. CMP-150 clip = 10 bullets)
Auto-aim is virtually non-existent
Not a single operational shield
5 Objectives to complete on regular assignments
3 Objectives to complete on bonus assignments
* = there a few exceptions like "dataDyne - Extraction"
^ = there is the exception of "dataDyne - Defection"

Story
===========================================================================
Intro - (Taken from the Instruction Booklet)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the dawn of man, our planet has been watched. The reasons for this
interest differ from race to race: some merely wish to observe until
humanity has evolved to a point where thy can introduce themselves without
sparking mass panic, while others are considerably less benign.
Not all humans are oblivious to the watchers above and among us. Daniel
Carrington, head of the Carrington Institute, suspects that rapid
technological developments at dataDyne HQ are the result of the corporation
taking a dark path to first contact, (a path which apparently branches
through major government agencies).
Whether or not his suspicions are justified, it is clear that events are
rushing to a head. People are being abducted, animals mutilated. Someone
amongst the stars desperately wants something they believe us to have, and
Carrington suspects that the grand plan penetrates far deeper than the
recent surface incidents. Using all means available, the Institute has
resolved to find out exactly what is going on before it's too late. Only
recently has it been offered its first real lead into the conspiracy:
urgent messages from one Dr. Caroll located deep within the heart of
dataDyne operations, requesting extraction from the company before alleged
threats on his life are actually carried out.
Cue freshly qualified Agent Joanna Dark, code-named Perfect Dark thanks to
her unprecedented achievements in training. Her first real assignment could
hardly be of more importance: infiltrate the dataDyne skyscraper, locate
Dr. Caroll, and bring him back to the Institute undetected and unharmed.
With events at dataDyne shrouded in mystery, yet moving so fast, whatever
knowledge Dr. Caroll possesses could ultimately decide the fate of the
human race.
Background - (Taken from the game; beat it on PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Millions of years ago, a huge alien ship of immense power was scuttled in
the Pacific Ocean. It was equipped with an untried and vastly dangerous
weapon: the weak nuclear force de-coupler, which could in theory cause the
fundamental bonds between molecules to fail. So that watching eyes would
believe in the destruction of the ship, a message pod was despatched to the
home galaxy, and vital components of the ship's drives were destroyed in
the star system it had chosen as a hiding place. For this ship was a Cetan,
a massive, sentient alien creature.
Another extraterrestrial race, the Maians, encountered life on Earth in
2000 BC. They saw great potential, but decided to let the primitive human
race develop without their interference.
The Maians encountered the Skedar near Delta Eridanus in 1650 AD (Earth
date), and the resultant skirmish soon blossomed into all-out war. Only
after hundreds of years of fighting did an uneasy peace develop, and even
then Skedar fanatics persistently tested the boundaries of this peace with
terrorist activities. Fortunately, the Maians refused to be drawn.
Mankind, too, continued to be a cause of concern to the Maians, and they
watched with disappointment as Earth suffered more and more crises brought
on by the rise of technology and 'outside context situations.' They feared
that announcing their presence would only precipitate further wars on the
planet, and quietly decided to continue their observation until the race
became more mature.
Daniel Carrington jumped the gun in 1985 AD by contacting a Maian ship in
orbit above Earth. He put forward a plan that would help both parties,
resulting in accelerated contact between Humans and Maians. Having agreed
that his plan was sound, and finding him to be a person of integrity, the
Maians allowed Carrington to release their technology into the public
domain through his considerable Research and Development holdings.
Then, in 2006 AD, Skedar fanatics stumbled across the Cetan message pod.
They immediately began to scout Earth in a particularly heavy-handed way,
abducting people and mutilating animals in an attempt to determine the
location of the lost battle cruiser. In time, their tests inevitably led
them to its resting place on the bed of the Pacific Ocean; however, in
order to actually reach it, they would need the help of the natives.
Performing their own study of Earth, the Skedar came up with a shortlist of
companies possessing the resources to help them recover the sunken ship. At
the top of the list was the dataDyne Corporation. They contacted the
company head, Cassandra De Vries, and presented her with a deal that
sounded too good to be true - which, of course, it was. In return for
helping to raise 'their' ship from the ocean floor, the Skedar promised to
supply dataDyne with enough alien technology to become the biggest
corporation on the face of the planet. All that dataDyne had to do was
build an AI unit with language and code-breaking abilities, which was
tricky, but certainly within their means. Work commenced on the project
immediately.
Cassandra De Vries approached NSA head Trent Easton with the details of the
plan, but his attempts to get Presidential approval for the loan of a deep-
sea research vessel were repeatedly turned down. There was no way that the
Skedar or dataDyne could steal the vessel without triggering the wrath of
the U.S. Government, so over time they settled instead on a far more
sinister plan of replacing the President with a clone that they could
control. Of course, this also promised extra rewards for Trent and
Cassandra when the Skedar operation was consigned to history.
However, they would not be given much time to gloat. The Skedar fanatics'
ultimate plan was to test the weak nuclear force de-coupler on Earth before
wiping the Maians out of existence, and both Cassandra and Trent remained
blind to the possibility of being double-crossed, so enamored were they
with the visions of power and luxury that lay ahead.
But dataDyne had unwittingly created something that could see all too
clearly the danger within this multilayered conspiracy: the sapient AI
built to crack the core access codes of the Cetan ship. When it expressed
concern over the mission for which it had been designed, Cassandra's
response was to order its personality removed. Clearly, it was thinking too
much. In desperation, and in a move which would make or break a great deal
more than dataDyne's 'deal' with the Skedar, the sapient adopted the
pseudonym Dr. Caroll and contacted the Carrington Institute with a plea for
help...
In-game Story - (Taken from the game; beat it on PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Untried agent Joanna Dark is assigned a mission involving the extraction of
a scientist from the high security research area beneath the dataDyne
skyscraper. Upon rendezvous, she is surprised to discover that this 'Dr.
Caroll' is an AI created by dataDyne itself - but she continues with her
task of escorting him/it to a place of safety. When the alarm is raised,
Joanna has to fight her way up the tower to reach the helipad and the
dropship which presents her only means of escape.
In response to this incursion, dataDyne make Daniel Carrington a personal
target and take him hostage two days later at his private villa. They
demand the return of the AI - their 'property' - in exchange for his life.
Unknown to them, the AI is already at the villa, where it was being
questioned by Carrington on dataDyne's future plans. Joanna eventually
rescues the head of the Institute but is unable to prevent dataDyne from
taking back Dr. Caroll. However, Carrington has heard enough to take the
drastic step of summoning a team of Maian specialists to Earth.
Joanna is dispatched to Chicago to spy on a conspirators' meeting at the G5
Building, a front for the dataDyne Corp. It is here that she learns of the
involvement of Trent Easton, head of the NSA, and of the strange Nordic men
that appear to be in control of the whole deadly scheme. Once Trent
discloses the plan to usurp the Presidential position, Jo radios the news
back to base - only to find that another, more urgent task requires her
attention before further action can be taken against Trent.
The Maian specialists have been intercepted and brought down by the
conspirators, with survivors and wreckage alike being transported to Area
51 in Nevada. Briefed to rescue any survivors and retrieve their equipment,
Joanna is dropped in to link up with another Carrington Institute agent.
Upon breaking into the medlab, Joanna finally discovers the Institute's
secret - their allies are Maians, the alien race commonly known as Greys.
The particular Maian she manages to rescue goes by the name of Elvis. He
was a bodyguard for the Ambassador who had been flying in at the head of
the specialist team.
Having aided the remnants of the Maian delegation, Joanna can return to the
matter of the President and dataDyne's designs against him. She poses as a
member of the President's entourage to gain access to the air base where
Air Force One is stationed, and successfully conceals herself aboard the
plane. As soon as it's airborne, Trent and the cloaked Skedar make their
move - but Joanna is there to stop them. She rushes the President to a
safety capsule while a team of Trent's men scour the aircraft, intent on
dragging the hapless politician aboard the Skedar UFO now docked to AF1 via
an umbilical. Jo weakens the umbilical but is unable to break it, and
ultimately Elvis makes a last-ditch attempt to sever the cord by crashing
into it at high speed. All three craft plummet towards the Alaskan
wilderness, and the AF1 escape pod is launched.
Coming around, Jo tries to report in but finds her communications jammed by
a transmission from the Skedar craft. She sets off through the snow to find
the President and Elvis, encountering teams of cloaked Skedar out searching
for her, the President, Elvis, and the President's belongings. She tracks
one group back to the downed Skedar ship, where she discovers a clone of
the President: quickly she destroys it, shuts down the jamming device and
calls in the cavalry. The Skedar are thwarted once more, the President is
safe, and Trent's incompetence has earned him a nasty fate at the hands of
his 'allies.'
But it's not over. Throwing caution to the wind, dataDyne and the Skedar
steal the Government's deep-sea research vessel 'Pelagic II' and head out
to the Pacific crash site. Joanna and Elvis leave to disrupt activity on
board the ship and find out what lies at the heart of the grand Skedar
plan. After crippling the vessel's diving operations and recalling the
submersible, they head down to the ocean floor, where they get their first
sight of the downed Cetan battle cruiser. A portal made by the Skedar
offers them access to the ship, where they stumble across a dead Skedar
warrior... Clearly the assault team didn't have it all their own way.
Fighting off the remaining vengeful Skedar and avoiding the Cetans
themselves, Joanna and Elvis make their way down to the core of the ship,
where they find the AI that was once Dr. Caroll. They manage to restore his
personality, whereupon he urges Joanna and Elvis to leave the ship so that
he may destroy it for good.
Later, back at the Carrington Institute, Joanna is about to leave for a
Presidential reception at the White House when all hell breaks loose. The
Skedar assault team survivors are venting their anger on those they deem
responsible for their failure to recover the Cetan ship. Joanna dashes
around the Institute, helping CI employees to reach the safety of the
hangars, as the Skedar launch attacks on various parts of the building: the
majority of the employees make good their escape while Joanna holds the
fort, but eventually she is knocked unconscious and taken prisoner.
She comes to in a holding cell on board the Skedar assault ship, with only
Cassandra De Vries for company. In a shocking move, the dataDyne CEO
willingly gives her life to create the distraction necessary for Joanna to
break out. Battling her way through the ship, Jo eventually manages to
locate and disable the docking bay shields, allowing Elvis to bring in a
few friends for the long-awaited shooting party.
The captured assault ship enters orbit above the Skedar Battle Shrine,
which shocks Elvis as the Maians never managed to find this Skedar 'holiest
of holies' throughout the long years of interracial war. If the Shrine were
destroyed, Skedar morale would be dealt a fatal blow and true peace would
finally replace the uneasy ceasefire. So Jo sets her sights on the Skedar
leader, the high priest of the Battle Shrine, while Elvis returns to the
assault ship in order to summon the Maian fleet.
In the wake of the climactic battle, the temple lies devastated with Elvis
calling for a lull in the bombardment so that he can find Joanna. She is
alive, held under a pile of rubble by the last tenacious Skedar that caught
up during the last few seconds of her escape bid. Elvis quickly offers her
a gun to convince the Skedar to let go, and with the job finally done, the
Skedar Shrine and morale both in ruins and the conspiracy dealt a mortal
blow to the heart, the two of them depart for orbit.

Walkthrough
===========================================================================
I'll be going through each of the levels using Perfect Agent as a general
guideline. In cases where the situation is too different (e.g. Carrington
Villa) the walkthrough will be split up for the distinct difficulty levels.
As the lower difficulties have less objectives the actual number appearing
on the screen when one is completed may differ from what is listed here,
again this shouldn't make any difference in game-play.
Lastly, I'll be aiming for the easiest/safest strategies for each level in
order to complete them. I'm certain it is possible to clear any level with
what I call 'no damage clear' as inherited from the Super Smash Brothers:
Melee awards. The only exception I found so far is Rescue as it requires
insane speed running abilities to get out of the toxic fumes at the
beginning with the trolley, but the damage is only limited here.... As for
the time cheats see appendix D to find level / difficulty specific steps
towards unlocking each and every time related level cheat.
(!) = Mission critical people; do not kill them. At best you can knock
them out cold, if they're enemies.

0. Carrington Institute - 'Preliminary'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After creating a file you start out as a new recruit in the Carrington
Institute. Examining the computer has the same effect as pressing "start"
anywhere else around this place: showing the main menu. Anyway, if you open
the door to the hallway you'll find Daniel eavesdropping.. I mean awaiting
you. He insists on guiding you through the place even though Joanna
obviously knows the place pretty well..
You can wander around the place, play with the hover cart and hover bike.
But after a little while you've seen enough of the area. There are however
three locations you may want to visit as some optional objectives can be
completed here:
Optional objectives
---------------------------------
A. Complete gadget training
B. Complete hologram training
C. Complete firing range training
See Appendix B for descriptions for each of these trials. Most of them
yield no reward, but completing the Firing range for all guns unlocks some
classic weapon cheats and grants you the "The Duel" bonus level. The latter
will only be unlocked if you completed at least the first mission...
Apparently, new recruits aren't allowed to proceed to the final training
right away.

Cheat 1 : Beat the level
Classic sight
Cheat 2 : Special Agent - 1:30
Marquis of Queensbury Rules
Cheese : Not reachable without explosives (i.e. cheats); see
dataDyne Extraction for this one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: The level is a descent through "Lucerne Tower": dataDyne Central's 23
store high headquarters. This design is used thrice in the game (Defection,
Extraction, and the 1st bonus mission: Mr. Blonde's Revenge) so you'll
learn your way without too much effort. There are three main areas around:
-The starting point helipad and the indoor area directly below it
-Three levels of office blocks connected by staircases and two
elevators the other 20 stores are 'decoration' and are inaccessible!
-The foyer on ground level
As for our objectives because it's the very first level you only need to
complete 1 itty-bitty objective on Agent. And that one is automatically
completed when you reach the level end. Thus on easy mode you can just
breeze through it not worrying about anything at all: there's no need to
get Cassandra's necklace, security cameras are nonexistent, and no
treacherous office clerk. So you can read how to get rid of the guards and
ignore any objective related stuff.
In any case, watch the introductory movie to get an idea of the situation
if you like, and gaze upon the technological imaging capabilities of the
N64 in 1999. After disembarking her aircraft she stands tall on Lucerne
Tower's helipad, looks around, and readies her silenced Falcon-2 for
action!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Your very first dataDyne guard is walking underneath the helipad. If
you look over the edge you might catch him wandering around the place.
Depending on when you entered the level (during the cut scene) he'll be in
a different location. If you enter the level straight away, the unwary
guard will be straight below you with his back turned to you! You could
shoot him from a distance, but alternatively you can fall down behind him
and take him out with the secondary option of Falcon-2. Incapacitate him
without draining any bullets (ammo is very sparse in Perfect Dark, so don't
waste it!). If you punch an adversary in the back, when they don't know
you're around makes them fall unconscious in a single swipe! This is called
a "surprise attack" and will be very useful in several occasions. Use this
element of surprise wherever possible. Collect the CMP-150, but remain
using your silenced gun for now.
The door to the left is overlooked by a security camera on SA/PA, so take
it out with a single bullet by shooting into the lens. Hitting the casing
will require 2 or so shots to make it explode (yes, everything explodes in
this game) and stop its recording abilities. You can ignore it and run
inside the structure, but if you stay too long within the camera's sight
the alarm will trigger. No additional guards appear, but this does put all
the guards on the next three office levels on sharp. Effectively blowing
away any stealth advantage you had, thus making it harder for yourself.
After going through a second door there's a distant security camera, which
is too far away to see you. Just a single direct hit should be enough. The
stationary guard in the inlet to right will be startled for a second or two
when seeing an armed Joanna. Use this moment to take him out without any
hassle. If you hit him at least once he's scripted to drop his gun on the
floor and surrender. Jo can just leave them be; in Perfect Dark guards who
give in won't betray. They'll just disappear in thin air if they go outside
your sight. Don't waste ammo on them, and if you really feel like you want
to take them out just punch.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable internal security hub
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: There's a third camera to the left of this coward, take it out and
get your ECM mine ready by selecting it from the inventory. Descend the
stairs and Daniel contacts you about the comms hub's location (that's odd
the mission reads security hub, the comms hub comes by later...). Look to
your left and notice the wall panel next to the cylinder. Place a bug on
the panel to disable all security systems for a minute or so (this disables
any cameras), and it completes Objective #1.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: You can play around with the light switch here to turn the lights
on/off. Remember this as it just might come in handy the next time we pass
by here...
Descend the stairs to meet up with guard #3, just be quick and aim for the
body/head to take it out with as little effort/ammo as possible. Open the
wooden door for another message from Jo's boss. Cassandra's office is
supposedly on this floor. Walk around to find a guard with his back to you;
easy victory. Be aware that another patrolling goon may enter this floor
from the doorway to the far left.
A: On Agent you can enter the elevator right here and get down to the
bottom floor (skip reading until after Objective #3).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Obtain keycode necklace
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: The doorway in the center is locked, but if you look on the table
where the guard was there's a small red box. Press "B" while standing in
front of it to unlock the big doors. Make sure the Falcon-2 is on pistol
whip or be unarmed, and walk into the office. The old woman in the blue
dress is Cassandra de Vries and the other is a personal secretary or so.
The secretary chickens out, but Cass will set off an alarm if you don't
make her shut up. Knock the blonde bitches out cold to claim the necklace
containing the keycodes. Whatever you do don't shoot either of them, or the
mission will fail. This clears the first of three store levels.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Below the staircase to the left at the bottom there is a small case
with Pistol ammo. You can collect it by crouching underneath the stairs, or
by breaking the glass on the higher levels and falling down from the rear
side. You can clear out the two lower stories on all difficulties, but it's
only needed for PA. So just read PA's objectives if you like to know
anyway.
SA: After getting Cass' necklace Special agents can enter the elevator as
well to get down to the bottom (skip reading until after Objective #3).
PA: The easiest way to go through is by clearing the central floor first,
because this clears the way for later, when we're holding the office clerk
hostage. Open the doorway and there might be some guards walking around. If
so take cover behind the passageway and use the side step (C-left, C-right)
while aiming to briefly show yourself and hit your opponents, then hide
again. If you're unlucky enough that the guard was just walking through the
left doorway 2 more guards will be alerted and come out of their chairs.
Again, shoot & hide to get through this section without being hit. You
might want to change to the CMP-150 in secondary mode (Lock-on) here.
Follow the left wall to find a lone soldier just watching over the glassy
window in the place behind the door. On A/SA this is the bloke who carries
the Shield tech item with him (he actually even carries in on PA in the
Japanese version of the game, but not for the other regions o_O).
The right back room has a desk with some more pistol ammo on it, which is
good as you may start to run low on it for PA. Open the door to the right
to notice a guard working on his gun. After you get up close or shoot him,
he gets startled and returns fire. Use this moment to take him out safely.
Walk up to the dead body and notice the right wall. If you get to close to
it the segment opens up just like that (you can also trigger it yourself by
opening it like a door). In the back there are three more guards and
another case of Pistol ammo.
Before heading to the lowest floor, eliminate the camera next to the left
elevator doorway. Descend to the lowest store, open the door and peek
around the corner. If the coast is clear enter the opposite rooms to find a
single goon behind his desk in each one and another pistol ammo case (3x).
The door to your left is locked, for now. If you make too much noise or
wait too long around here the Shock trooper will come out of his hiding and
fights you with dual silenced Falcon-2s. Kill him to collect the guns, now
you can dual wield as well. Otherwise, seek him out in the two office
blocks in the back. The other office cube's door is locked, and there's
also distant camera (shoot it!).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Download project files
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: If you stand near this locked door you'll overhear a call from an
office clerk. He talks about deleting some files and leaves his office. You
have to stop him before he completes his objective. Show yourself and he
puts up his hands in the air. Joanna tells him about the password problem
and he needs to help out, so don't kill him (shooting the limbs once is
tolerable)! If you want this level's secret weapon let him escape. He'll
run to the distant alcove to hide there. Follow him and now the door should
be unlocked allowing you to collect some more Falcon-2 ammo plus the Laptop
Gun (how does a Carrington Institute weapon end up here..?)! That will be
handy for the foyer. :)
Keep your gun pointed at the programmer and follow him up one floor towards
the terminal. Once he says "Right, I'm in..." knock him unconscious
otherwise he deletes the files you need to download failing your mission.
Once this is completed take out the Data Upload from your inventory and use
it on the terminal to complete this objective. Finally, go down the
elevator as A/SA already did to the ground floor.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Once you're going down, duck to the lowest level (twice) and move
backwards as far much as possible. If you don't the guards at the bottom
will see you and attacks you in a group of 5 or 6 which is a little too
much. If you did duck correctly no one will notice you, but the music
speeds up nonetheless. When the elevator opens up, use the silenced
Falcon(s) to break the glass and fall down, then switch to the Laptop Gun.
There's two guards here who are no match for your Laptop Gun. Also the
counter can provide some safety and there's two CMP clips located behind
it. Walk around counter clockwise, if you did what I just said the guards
in the back won't have noticed you and the one in the inlet to your left
will get startled. Again, use this in your advantage to take out the
remaining three guards.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable external comms hub
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Reload your gun and open the right passage in the back. There's
three more shock troopers here which can be taken out safely by
opening/closing the door repetitively. Don't blow up the terminals in the
back here or the guards from the rear left passage hear the racket and come
after you! Get your ECM mine out again and stick another one to the low
panel to disrupt the communications.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain entrance to laboratory
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Lastly, the inlet opposite of the comms hub has five more shock
troopers in it. Before opening this room deploy the Laptop Gun if you have
it as a sentry on the wall opposite of the doorway. This way most of the
guards get killed without any effort on your hand. The downside is that the
gun chews up 150 machine gun ammo when deploying it. Use your Falcon-2, or
CMP-150 if you still have ammo for it, to take out any guards that get past
the Sentry.
Afterwards pick up the Sentry again to get the Laptop Gun back. Just press
"B", while standing in front of it. There may still be a single sleepyhead
guard around the back corner. The dead end actually conceals a doorway
(like on the upper floors) where an elevator is hidden. Enter it to
complete the level.

All: After Jo knocks out the unwary guard in who's inspecting the elevator
during the cut scene the level begins. As you may notice the silencer from
her gun is now gone (why'd she do that for?), so the stealth advantage of
the Falcon will be less for this level. Exit the elevator and you go into
two directions: left is the actual laboratory and right leads to an
optional section.
This optional part has a guard over viewing a red colored control panel.
Take him out before he runs into the back area where 2 more men are seated.
After that activate the red panel to unlock the hatch door we'll come
across soon enough. There's no particular reason to do this, but it allows
you to enter a part from the laboratory from a different direction that's
all.
From the elevator head left and take out the lone patrolling trooper who is
surprised by your presence. Head up to the doorway and notice the wooden
wall to your left. If you press 'B' in front of it it'll say "This door is
locked". This is a maintenance hatch opens from time to time by the yellow
cleaning bot whom hovers around the area. It provides you a shortcut to
reach objective 2. The normal passage leads to a room with 3 guards behind
bullet-proof glass. If you make too much noise here or one of them calls
out for help 2 more guards from the next area will enter this place. So
quickly take them all out from behind door entrance's cover. Next up is the
large area that connects five different regions with one and another as
shown below:

Objective: Holograph radioactive isotope
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: From (1) you can head to the isotope via the door at (4), which is
guarded by 2 stationary people. As the radioactive isotope is too dangerous
to get close up to deploy the Camspy via the Pause Menu and take a picture
when you're up close to it. If you really want the proximity mines you can
strafe run along the wall to collect the box of mines and take minimal
damage. If you're fast your health will only be drained a bit once.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Start security maintenance cycle
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Enter the basement area via the cleaning bot's maintenance hatch, or
walk through the corridor via (2). Note however, that the latter does mean
you have to go through a series of 5 barricades with one guard hiding
behind crates each. The accuracy of these guards is low, but because of the
lighting effects it can be hard to get a proper view on them. If you go
there via the first method you can run through the corridor in reverse
direction which is easier, but unfortunately you can't attack them in the
back as they'll spot you when you get near.
Either way you'll be in an small area with a ledge and a small glass
railing. Punch it three times or shoot 3 bullets into the same segment to
shatter it allowing you to fall down to reach the required control panel
right away. Alternatively, open the door in the back and walk all the way
around. You might spot an unwary enemy through the glass of the door. Shoot
through the glass for an easy kill. There's another one lurking around here
and he might get attracted by the dead body of the first guard. There are
three panels around here:
1. In the far back - Used for reprogramming the cleaning bot's
near the glass ledge cycle. This can only be done if the bot is not
actived (which he is by default).
2. Near the second guard - Used for activating the cleaning bot. If you
didn't reprogram the cycle using the other
console it will just hover around in circles
right here.
3. In an inlet - Used for opening the weapon's cache. This will
unlock the dual CMP-150, but it requires you
not to be seen by any person up to that point!
So after using the data-uplink on the first panel, then activate the second
panel the maintenance bot will start a different cycle. You'll need him to
deactivate the laser grid later on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: If you're playing on Agent you can just skip through the corridor and go
to laser grids (6) straightaway. Skip reading until after "Obtain
experimental technologies" objective.
SA/PA: Back in the main room you can progress via (3), or (5) if you
activated the hatch near the beginning of the level. Although, you don't
need to go to the K7-Avenger room for Special agent at all. If you follow
(3) you could clear out all the guards in each laboratory segment before
doing objectives 3 and/or 4 in order or do them all interleaving. For each
set of two you can use the Lock-on feature of the CMP-150 to know their
position even if you lose line of sight. Once you hear them stop shooting
you can pelt them down yourself with 'automatic' accuracy. :) It's pretty
easy actually, as long as you don't push forward too fast. The only thing
that can screw things up is the patrolling guard which can be anywhere in
the corridor. So as soon as you enter strafe into the first sideway to have
a good hiding place.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Shut down experiment
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Our next objective is to take all running experiments out of
commission. To do so Joanna has to visit the three "#" marked laboratory
rooms on the map above. Inside each one she finds a scientist and 4
consoles.
-Two of them are inactive
-One triggers the alarm
-One disables the experiment
The combination is randomized each time you play the level! If the alarm is
triggered for the first time 2 or 3 shock troopers will spawn in the
radioactive isotope room and hunt you down, which is probably not a good
thing (although it's not that dangerous as well...). So you'd better not
risk a chance yourself. Instead, talk to the scientist to make him shut
down the experiment for you. The unarmed professor will then walk to the
correct console and deactivate it.
The last scientist you make contact with will always trigger the alarm
rather than shutting it down. The last one is usually the angry scientist
(#3), but not necessarily. For example if you deactivate the console in #1
yourself without talking to the scientist the other two willingly
deactivate their experiments, despite the fact that the arrogant attitude
of the scientist (#3) doesn't sound very sincere about it. Thus for the
last scientist just follow him around and wait until he stops. Knock the
doctor out, before he activates the console with the alarm. Now you know
which one is the red herring and can safely activate the 3 other consoles
yourself to stop the last experiment.

Objective: Obtain experimental technologies
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: This level contains 3 different experimental items Jo has to bring back
to the Carrington Institute. The items in question are:
1. K7-Avenger
-------------
Enter the "K7" marked room and stand on the slow moving elevator. Once it
goes down you'll notice a scientist and a guard practicing on a distant
shooting target constantly making comments. Because they both have their
back turned to you it's easy to overpower them and collect the Avenger.
If you enter the room via the maintenance hatch you'll come in face-to-face
with the K7-avenger practitioner. Because he pauses between shooting that
leaving you a moment to take him out, while he's reloading. The advantage
of doing this however is that once you get up the elevator again, you can
shoot the guards near the door through the glass without them noticing you
at all!
2. Night Vision goggles
-----------------------
Pretty simple, go to the "NV" room and shatter the glass barrier with
either some bullets, a pistol whip or a few punches. If you look more
closely at the item you'll notice the magenta color of it suggesting it is
pair of Infra Red goggles (Night Vision goggles in the next level are also
green), but the game insists that these are Night Vision goggles.
3. Shield tech item (the non-functional one, that is)
-------------------
There's one shield tech item near the very end of the level which appears
on all difficulty levels (I'll mark it later on). This one is not
functional, but it is required to pick this one up to complete the PA
objective. Oh well, if you made it that far you can pull through the last
room as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Once you're done with all the laboratories, disabled experiments, and
collected all the goods, enter the distant right path to find two guards of
which one is dead ahead. Take them both out and watch out for movement of
the door on the left. It can denote the moment the two guards in the back
are triggered by the noise. Ready yourself and take all four out in total.
The last one is sometimes difficult to spot around the corner behind the
door.
Now you need to wait for the cleaning bot to pass through the laser grid in
your direction. Touching the grid depletes all your energy in less than a
second! As there are three grids you really need to wait for it, until it
travels in the same direction as you. This is a very tedious process and
will also be the bottleneck for getting the time cheat in Perfect Agent,
mind you.
After the 3rd grid run ahead and open the first door to find a lone thug
waiting for your arrival. The passage behind him leads to a larger room
with two guards on both left/right sides. I usually strafe in a ellipse
shape around the right one and take the other out afterwards. If you keep
moving around it's hard for the two of them to hit you. Take them out,
collect the CMP-150 from the hexagon table and shoot the terrarium's glass
window to the left for shield #2 (A/SA).
Another set of double doors awaits you where two goons with Dragons are
standing on either side of the doorway. Just look around to corner to see
one of them. Quickly take it out and either wait for the other to come
towards you, or run into the room to circle around him. Now use the Data
Uplink again on the console to unlock the doorway to the security level 4
rooms. However, while you're doing this 2 guards will spawn two rooms back.
To remedy this pick up 1 Dragon, select it, and press 'B' to get secondary
mode: "Proximity Mine". Open the first door and throw the proximity Dragon
back against the other. When you uplink the spawned adversaries will be
blown away! Collect the second Dragon afterwards if you still want to be
able to use this weapon. Alternatively, you could stick one of those
proximity mines on the door as well. Once unlocked run down the path
towards another large room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate Dr. Caroll
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: We're getting close to the end here. Before entering crouch down, and
manual aim with either Dragon or K7-Avenger because of their enhanced zoom.
Open the door and reclose it before it is completely opened so you can spot
the distant guard without him noticing you. Repeat it one or two times,
until you have a steady shot on his head and fire for an instant kill. This
will attract the other 2 Dragon guards to the left. Again, opening/closing
the door several times will tell you where they are going for. If they get
closer to the door move back and sniper them down, while they open the door
themselves. The AI doesn't shoot when they are waiting for a door to open
so that gives you a good chance of nailing them down.
PA (Shield Tech item): When you finally enter the large room, head through
the left doorway to find a huge metallic wall. If you get close it'll open
up like a door by itself. Don't run forward here, but instead put on manual
aiming. A guard will appear from behind the corner and after that two more
will run forward from the next 'wall-door' behind him. With manual aim you
should be able to shoot them down with a single magazine and taking no
damage. Run to the far back to find another different looking wall. Get
close again to make it open up magically; inside are a lot of lights and
the necessary Shield Tech item to complete Perfect Agent objective #4.
All: Back in the larger room, get out the K7-Avenger and get ready to meet
up with drone guns! Open the door and quickly run back several steps.
Crouch, take aim and shoot with the K7-Avenger to eliminate the drones. If
the door closes, reload, reopen, run back out of their range, and repeat
the process, until they're all gone. The secondary mode of the K7-Avenger
will tell you if all 3 are destroyed (one is hidden on the backside of the
other). If you're going for a fast time you could try to strafe run through
the corridor hoping to get hit as little as possible, but I wouldn't bet on
making it all the time. Open the door at the other end to find Dr. Carroll
and exit the level.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Access foyer elevator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: There's a lot of optional weaponry and stuff to be found in a level
which is otherwise pretty short! Dr. Caroll will be following you through
the entire level which can be problematic as he sometimes appears from a
different route (read: warps in) and thus may get caught in your line of
fire. Most guards focus their attention shooting Joanna, but if you leave
the doctor behind he will surely get destroyed, so make sure to clear all
the guards along the way. Once the elevator guard from the previous level
wakens, his lights go out again and then everything turns dark.
As soon as the level starts equip the night vision goggles to regain sight.
The lights will remain off a denoted by the timer at the bottom for:
A - Unlimited time (no timer)
SA - 2:30
PA - 1:00
If you can kill all 10 guards in the foyer before the lights go on you get
a chance of obtaining a special keycard which can come in handy for some
optional gear (such as an early Rocket Launcher!). Next to that killing the
first 5 guards without being seen nets you a Dy-357 magnum, which is not
very usable in this level. But still, killing enemies without them seeing
you means that they can't damage you as well. ^_^
For the 1st enemy, open the door and shoot him through the head with the
scoped Falcon-2. Next stand near the second door and open it from a side,
step a few away from it so the guard behind the table won't see you (his
eye-sight is limited, but does extend little beyond the doorway itself).
Another manual headshot should do it here. For the next to hug the right
wall with your back as you sidestep towards the right. You'll notice the
two stationary goons which are easy prey, but if you miss they'll be
alerted! For the fifth guard step around the barricade table and look to
the right around the corner, but don't step out to far or the two near the
top elevator may spot you! This guard shouldn't be able to see you from
this distance. Cap his head correctly for a Dy-357.
Next up are two troopers hiding behind the counter, which has another set
of two CMP-150s. Again, go for headshots to prevent them from reacting.
Around the corner is another lone fool waiting for his death. And lastly,
the two guards upstairs are a bit harder. Carefully, step into their view
and take the left one out, and then the righter. If the lights are still
off when he falls a guy will spawn upstairs whom carries a special keycard.
Now enter the foyer elevator leaving Dr. Carroll behind, it's better for
his health (don't worry; he automatically catches up with you once you exit
the level). And take off the goggles if you don't want to get blinded by
the bright light.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Once upstairs get out of the elevator and the previously mentioned
guard should have spawned around the corner if you were fast enough. Take
him out to get his keycard. Now that you have this card, go back down the
foyer and access the Comms hub (from the 1st level) to find Mr. Blonde,
Cassandra and 2 dataDyne female guards along with two Rocket crates.
Collect the rockets to receive a free Rocket Launcher along with it! These
characters are inanimate and invincible. Actually, they are supposed to
participate in the end of level cut scene. The two Rocket crates are to
appear on the roof top to give you some extra ammo, so that's why.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Destroy dataDyne hovercopter
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Now that you have the Rocket Launcher you can take out the
Hovercopter patrolling around the building with relative ease. On Agent
there's no hovercopter to be seen. Rather scrambling around the level like
mad dodging the stream of bullets (granted the shots only do minimal
damage), and getting the launcher from the top floor. Just shatter the
glass and Lock-on to the hovercopter before shooting the projectile.
Without rockets you need a huge amount of conventional bullets to take it
out, but it can be done...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Reactivate office elevator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: On Perfect agent you need to reach out for the distant console on the
lowest office floor to reactivate the other elevator leading up. So after
passing through the keycard guard, take out the two of them behind
barricaded tables (show yourself, hide, wait until fire stops, shoot them).
Run around the outer ring corridor and kill the two shotgun wielding female
guards. The office in the back has another female shotgun guard waiting for
you. Once they're all gone (also see next objective) press 'B' in front of
the blue table console to complete this objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: The bottom & second floor don't contain anything interesting other
than some female guards which can be entirely avoided on Agent level. The
blue barricade to your left can be destroyed with another rocket, which
allows you to reach the stairs to the top level right away. Also a glitch
can get you up the top floor in even less time. After entering the foyer
elevator hug the left wall and wait until you reach the office floor.
Instead of getting outside press 'B' here to open the locked door from the
backside through the wall! A small oversight in the game allows the user to
open the staircase doorway from the elevator's side. Very handy for the
time trial cheat.
The top floor has two office clerks and a trooper watching over a pedestal
with a peculiar item on it. You can overhear their clumsy conversation or
just kill the trooper and claim the Rocket Launcher if you haven't gotten
it already. If you have the keycard open Cassandra's office to find a
Grenade on her table. Chuck it into the right corner to blow up a wall
uncovering a secret passage leading to the level's cheese wedge and a
hidden Dragon weapon. Once you're done here enter the left staircase to
reach the top area where you meet up with Cassandra.
Once the door is opened you'll be forced to enter the room and face
Cassandra. Get your Rocket Launcher, slowly step to the right where the
light switch is, and patiently wait until she's done talking.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Defeat Cassandra's bodyguards
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: This is a rather confusing objective to complete. On Agent you only
need to kill the guards directly surrounding Cassandra to complete the
objective. On Special/Perfect Agent you also need to kill the guards on the
lower floors as well. Keep this in mind, as you don't need to waste running
around the bottom floors on Agent.
SA/PA: As we already went past the guards on the bottom floor in order to
get the previous objective only the middle floor remains. It is still a
good idea to blow up the blue barricade with a rocket as mentioned above as
you can catch the women off guard by entering their rooms from the opposite
direction. There should be 2 in the office blocks to the left and 1 in the
opposite block as well as some normal troopers in the inner area. Take
cover if needed and make the best of the idle time between their shots
(Shotguns are slow weapons).
All: As for the top floor the lay-out is like the following:
_____
| | C: Cassandra
____|# .(exit) #: dataDyne female shotgun guard
| C | ': Light switch
| ______| .: Door
| _|# #|_
| | |
| |# #|
| | | '|
|___| _____|
| |
| .(entrance)
| |
The lights will go out, and thus you switch them back on and shoot a rocket
near the left area to kill 2 female guards in a single go. The light will
blind them for a few seconds giving you some free time. I'd suggest to use
a Dragon / CMP-150, then take out any of the remaining 4 women on the
bottom floor and get underneath for a relative safe spot. There's only one
more left so you should be able to get through this part. Once the last
girl falls you'll see an Objective completed message on-screen.

Objective: Rendezvous at helipad
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With all obstructions removed completing this objective just boils down to
running towards the helipad where the first level started. As the
hovercopter is gone by now this should be a piece of cake. If not you can
still blow it up with the Rocket Launcher.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: I'll first explain the A/SA route, and separately go through PA as the
starting points are completely different. On A/SA you start near the
observatory where Daniel watches out to the stars with a Sniper Rifle, and
need to save the negotiator. But on PA you _are_ the negotiator and start
out on the dock with a Laptop Gun instead.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Save Negotiator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A/SA: Once you take control over Joanna on A or SA only a fairly simple
procedure is required here. Take one step forward from your starting point,
aiming with the Sniper Rifle and take both guards out on the dock within 20
seconds. Otherwise the guards will shoot her dead at point blank range. If
you save her she runs off around the corner of the dock never to be seen
again...
Complete the first objective, then turn around and run down caverns. There
are several dataDyne guards here, but their reactions are pretty slow.
After getting a CMP-150 from the first one switch to that as the Sniper
Rifle is not suitable for close range combat. Notice that the metal boxes
contain ammo crates so you may want to shoot those as well. Run along the
path taking out the other guards to reach the first sniper. There are no
guards in this area on Perfect Agent...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Capture dataDyne guard
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Once you take control over Joanna on Perfect Agent you start out on the
dock being unarmed. Your inventory has a Laptop gun, but it might be better
to take out the guards with your fists instead. Select the secondary
"Disarm" command and run around the thugs before they can start shooting.
Hit them in the back to collect their CMPs, to disable the immediate treat
and complete the objective denoted in the surrounding context box. Once
they're are both defeated the snipers will start to aim at you so take
care! Yes, sniper directly in your sight at the start ignores you until
both the normal guards are defeated.
You might as well complete PA objective #4 here. This objective is pretty
lame, couldn't they think of anything better? Well, now that you've
disabled a guard on the dock you're done already.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: The following objective goes through the exterior and upper floor of
the Villa. Once you clear this one both PA and A/SA are aligned again. So
therefore, it is explained here in one go. Although, not necessary it might
be wise for A to follow SA here as the snipers can cause some agony even on
Agent.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Eliminate rooftop snipers
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Here's a quick overview of the area showing you the location of each
of the 8 snipers in the level. Note that all of the snipers have no health
at all so shooting them once in the toe will suffice in taking one of them
down. On the other hand they do seem to have a near impeccable marksmanship
so don't stay in their sight for too long. Another note about the snipers
is that they remain inactive until the 2 henchmen at the dock are killed.
Thus if you don't kill those the Snipers will never retaliate and fire back
at you. This might be a good thing to know on PA.

\______________/
SA: For SA (and also recommendable for A to clear the area) it's the
easiest to take out #1. Then go for #3 and #4 immediately when entering the
open area. If you stand close to Sniper #1's spot you can spot the head of
#2 in the far distance over the left wall as well.
Next walk up the stairs towards door (e) and shoot #7 and #8 in a straight
line before entering the villa. Inside there's 2 guards in the back and 2
to the right. If you use the door opening as cover it shouldn't be to hard
to get them all. Follow the right wall and go outside again (door c).
Sniper #5 is little to the right of you and directly on the roof above you
is another (#6). So take both out to complete this task.
Optionally, you can kill the guards outside door (d) and go down the stairs
near (e). This gives you a better vantage point over the staircase near
(b). Down under enter Daniel's bedroom to find a dead CI guard along with a
Sniper Rifle. Further in the back are three more guards which come running
towards you if the distance is too far. They will never shoot from that
far, thus they make easy prey when coming right towards you. Finally, walk
over to the right to find the last two guards at (a). You are in the
kitchen now and the path merges with PA.
PA: Given your position on the dock and using either CMP or Laptop Gun,
first go for #7, #8, walk around the dock so you can just make out #5 in
the distance. Head for entrance (a) and take out the lone guard in the
corner down the stairs. Just behind the door you notice 2 guards through
the glass window (they can't see you and you can't shoot them through the
glass either!). Open the doorway and kill them while the door is still
opening.
Once inside go a few steps to the right to notice 3 or so adversaries
running towards you. As on SA you can easily nail them down from such a
long distance without them firing back. Continue forward past the staircase
and head left to find Daniel's bedroom. On PA you don't start out with a
Sniper Rifle, but sometimes the snipers will drop one off/near the edge of
the roof. Just shoot it again to collect one (also works on other
difficulties, naturally). This may not always work, so the dead Carrington
Institute guard in Daniel's shower will have Sniper Rifle next to him as
well, hurrah. The dead corpse will only be there on PA for some reason...
Trace back to the previous staircase and ascend it to reach (b). This
allows you to shoot snipers #6, #5 & #1 in the very distance. The patio can
be reached from Daniel's bed room as well to see Sniper #3's knees without
him being able to hit you.
Reenter via doorway (c), 2 guards will be directly in front of you and
another duo is near the computer in the far back. Sniper #2 can be shot in
the feet by exiting the building at passage (d), but watch out for yet
another set of stationary guard twins outside the building to your right.
Head back to door (a) to meet up with A/SA's path as we go down the
kitchen's stairs.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: If you put a little effort to it you can reach the first dataDyne
sniper (#1) near the end of the tunnel in under 0:40. If you kill him
within this time limit he will drop dual CMP-150s. For PA sniping him at
doorway (b) may allow you kill the guard within the time limit as well, but
it's actually not worth hurrying that much. In the back of the helipad
there are three crates of which only the leftmost can be broken. If you do
so you can collect the grenade launcher of this game: the K9 Devastator!
One ammo crate in the cavern corridor's crates also contains grenade rounds
to provide a few extra rounds.
Once you go down the tight staircase in the kitchen there will be one idle
dataDyne guy up in front of you, and another will be on the opposite side
of the wall panel. Further in the back another set of two guards are back-
to-back watching over... the walls I guess. In both situations you can use
the wall panels for cover, if needed, so make use of it. The rest of this
floor is empty, but you can enter/exit the building from doorway (f) here.
In order to continue on you need to find the door which is closest to the
kitchen's staircase we just went down. This leads to another set of stairs
leading to the basement level. As soon as you step into this room take care
of the guard around the right corner and directly below the entrance on the
basement floor. Optionally, you can go and save the swimming pool as well
here. Open the right doorway to find one guard directly opposite of you,
one around the left corner, and a last man to the far right standing near
the pool itself. Take them all three out to liberate Carrington's pool in
the process. Turn around and enter the other doorway to reach the interior
basement (sand colored floor along with stone textured walls).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Activate wind generator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: After reaching the interior basement there will be a single goon up in
front of you. Again, you should be able to take him out before he can react
and fire back. Walk up ahead and notice the metallic construction over the
water. There are two control panels on the machines here which operate the
windmill, but before activating them take out all 3 guards here. The latter
two usually hide behind the central wall pillar, so you may overlook them
on your first run. These have caused me some serious damage, so thread
slowly towards them, until their arms are in sight to get an easy kill or
at least stun them.
Once the panels are on, you are still required to operate a third panel to
actually enable the windmill. Just follow the metal gully in the floor to
find it. The panel is guarded by three more guards, one in each corner so
be on your guard (as well as an additional 4th guard in the other passage).
Using the Devastator here may be tempting, but beware that control panels
don't like explosions... Only if you activated the other 2 panels
beforehand this 3rd will be operable. So hit it once you've done that to
complete the objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Now that power has been restored to the lower basement the door
opposite of last control panel unlocks. Go down there to find the lowest
level of the basement along with Carrington's wine cellar.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate and eliminate dataDyne hacker
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: At the very moment you enter the basement floor with Shock Troopers you
receive a message from Grimshaw at CI. He tells you to seek out the hackers
that have appeared at the villa, and take them out before they break in and
get to CI's precious files. At this moment 3 green robed dataDyne hackers
will spawn near the computers. You have to take them out before completing
the level, thus a backtrack begins. To find them either activate the R-
Tracker or just follow these directions from the first Shock Trooper you
encountered:
-Go back up some stairs and follow right
-Take the first left branch, then right to get out of the basement
-Up the stairs, to the right, and the stairs again to find the kitchen
-Run along the right corridor to find the first 2 hackers
-From the computer room opening run forward, up the stairs, and turn left
-The 3rd hacker will be here in the distant corner of the room
As the hackers are busy with there hackery ways they only notice you when
you're already at point blank range, so it should be easy to beat them in
their face. Yes, they can type whilst holding a gun in one of their hands.
Now retrace back to the wine cellar with Shock Troopers.

Objective: Rescue Carrington
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Joanna has to take out all 9 Shock Troopers on this floor to receive a
keycard which opens the final door. Note that if you failed one of the
objectives (or haven't completed one of the others) there are only 8 guards
down here with the 9th person being missing. So if you can't find the last
Shock Trooper make sure to check you mission status.
1, 2 and 3: Immediately to the right there will be the first masked shock
trooper who runs off to the far corner to call for 2 of his cronies to help
him out. Just shoot him in the back when he runs off, and take out the
other two as well. The door behind them is locked and can't be opened.
4 and 5: The left branch door leads to the actual cellar. One shock trooper
will be hiding behind one of the 2 bottle racks each.
6 and 7: Follow the corridor after this and don't get caught off-guard by
the two goons hiding behind the second set of wine racks. They'll pop up
out of nowhere if you get closer. Maybe you'd like to use one of those
shiny Devastator rounds right about now... Also notice the cheese on the
very top of the right rack.
8 and 9: As with fourth and fifth Trooper these will be hiding behind the
two last racks. Once you take out the final guard he'll drop the keycard
which in turn allows you to open the door just next to him. End of Mission!
PA: If you haven't completed the "Capture dataDyne guard" objective by the
time you enter the cellar, and you've killed all of the guards besides the
Shock Troopers you get a "Objective Failed" on-screen. However, if you
punch down a Shock Trooper the objective will go from Incomplete to
Complete after all! Don't be fooled by this objective failure too easily.
All: Here's a small quirk. Try to destroy all the wine bottles. Carrington
has a remark for you in case you do this, but it only works if you shoot
the last bottle with a normal gun. If you take out the last bottle along
with some others, e..g using explosives, it won't work.

All: This level is rather short and very different from the others. Perfect
Agent runners might as well go directly for the time cheat description in
Appendix as this level is super easy to complete in <1:00 using the BombSpy
method. First some explanation of what is going on here using a map of this
tiny level area (yes, that's the entire level):
____ ________________ __________ $ = Control panel G5 Door entrance
| | | | ___ | guarded by 4 G5 people!
| G |________ __ ____| |___|$ .G5| # = Limousine, leaves after 1:00

| | G_____B__|_|____________| . = Door
| | |G _____ | | = = Storm drain passage (crouch)
| |== |F|C| | | | E = Equipment box
|____| |___|_____|Start|_________|
G5 Entrance: In the top right corner is the exit. It is controlled by the
($) control panel which is guarded by 4 or so people. If any of them sees
you the panel is automatically triggered and the G5 building is shut
permanently -> Mission failure. Thus you should not wander into this place
without creating a diversion to lure the guards away. However, because the
level is so small the AI is crippled to a very large degree. The guards
around the level exit can't see further than the entrance of the passage.
In essence this means you can run around the street area in the vicinity of
the entrance without them noticing you at all!
CIA personnel: These people don't carry anything on them, more like plain
citizens. If you approach them without a gun they try to sell you stuff,
but if you show up with a gun they'll quake in fear. As the blue colored
manual aim suggests these guys are not to be killed lest mission failure
occurs...
FBI personnel: For some reason this is a completely different matter. They
carry Dy-357s and will call for back-up as soon as they spot you. You must
take them out before they complete their calls or otherwise some major
sirens go off, the G5 entrance gets shut down, and lots of G5 special
forces carrying Magnums will be flooding the area. In other words you need
to restart the level. Fortunately, there's only three of these people in
the level. Disable them ASAP!
Robot Droid: This invincible floating juggernaut is patrolling the area and
has a shoot-then-ask policy. It will shoot Jo on plain sight and can't be
destroyed using conventional means. The only way to have it get destroyed
is by reprogramming the taxi so it crashes into the droid. This is the
conventional means of completing the "Create vehicular diversion"
objective. If you do this the guards at ($) will move away from their
position allowing you to enter the structure. But it's not necessary to do
it like this at all.
Pond Punk bar: This is a rather peculiar place the programmers put into the
game. The bar isn't accessible directly as the door is locked, but at the
entrance is one lone guard and two more directly near the doorway (there's
a Shield here too on Agent). There are two ways of getting in here:
1. Shoot the lone guard once in the limbs so it runs off to call for
help from within the bar. This may be difficult to pull off as the 2
other guards may force you shoot them all.
2. Make enough noise so the guards on the other side of the door will
come running out. This is practically only possible by having the
BombSpy explode right in front of the doorway.
Once you're in there's really not that much to see. On the bar there's one
half of the Dual Falcon-2 and the other piece is on the central table. As
you may notice the table itself has an innocent pole sticking out of the
center. If you're old enough to legally play this game I think you should
be able to understand what that's supposed to mean. There is even so much
detail that there's an actual section of toilets. Inside one of them is
this level's cheese wedge... yuck.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Retrieve drop point equipment
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: From the start take out the first G5 guard and the first FBI dude
pronto! Then enter the alley to the right side of the road without drawing
the attention of the other guards around here. If you did, then you also
need to take out the FBI personnel in the sewer area to the left, otherwise
you can skip that entire area as you don't need to go there to get the drop
point equipment.
In the alley hit the single patrolling G5 man as he walks away from you. In
the central area ignore the CIA agents and look through the passageway for
the last FBI guy. Use the range of the Scoped Falcon-2 to eliminate this
treat right away. Once he's gone one or two more G5 people may come towards
you. Take cover behind the wall and sidestep into view once they stop
shooting to take them out.
Step forward and look for the guards on the fire exits, they spawn here in
random positions either at the bottom or on the 1st/2nd floor whichever
fools you the most. Once they're gone you should not need to worry about
any of the other guards in the level. From the back alley walk forward (PA
can do method 2 of the next objective in the meanwhile).
Now face away from the right and stay on the left side of the street. If
you do this the guards at the level exit will not see you at all! Fall down
the ledge and walk underneath the street to find the Equipment case marked
(E) on the map. You can walk back via the main street as well, just make
sure that when you climb the left wall section you are not looking directly
into the guards. If you look away the guards won't notice you, again. Btw:
if you're not in a hurry you could try to complete Objective "Create
vehicular diversion" using the BombSpy (see below) to remove the guards all
the same!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Attach tracer to limousine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Outside the Pond Punk bar there will be a parked limousine. You need to
attach the tracer bug (which you start out with, rather than in the
equipment case) before it leaves after 1:00. You can't just place the bug
on it in plain sight as some of the guards will notice you doing that. But
there are two ways of doing this successfully:
1. Enter the longest storm drain and open the hatch from underneath. You
should now see the car's underside, so just select the tracer bug and
attach it to the vehicle to complete the objective.
2. If you walk around the BombSpy area and reenter the main street via the
back alley you can simply shoot the tracer bug from there onto the back
of the limousine and no one will notice, piece of cake.

Objective: Prepare escape route
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Walk back to the alley with the fire ladders and throw a remote mine
on either the bottom / top brick inlet on the wall. This will make a
difference for the next level so make a pick:
Lower: Next level has a shorter escape route (ideal for the time cheat)
Upper: Next level has a slightly longer escape route, but you get a crate
of N-bombs which you otherwise can't have
The game remembers the last successful mission instance where you threw the
remote mine against the wall (this is difficulty independent!). If you're
playing on Agent and never completed the level on the higher difficulties
the game will assume the lower wall section has a remote mine on it.

Objective: Create vehicular diversion
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: The goal of this objective is to remove the guards from the G5
building car park entrance from their positions, so you can enter the
place. Like stated above if any of them sees you the car park entry is
locked via the control panel on the wall and can't be reopened. Like most
things in this level this can be achieved in multiple ways:
1. Retrieve drop point equipment, enter the middle storm drain from the
back sewer area, and open the hatch above you. The cab should be next
to you and can be reprogrammed safely. If you try to reprogram the cab
on the main street level the security droid will return and start
shooting at you before you can complete this objective. After successful
reprogramming the cab flies off, and will crash into the G5 Robot
destroying it. This will lure the G5 guards away from their posts. The
distraction gives you a chance to get into the car park.
2. In the area marked with (B) on the map there's a dumpster which can be
pushed around. If you push it as close as possible to the flammable
metal cans it will explode, when you shoot those cans several times.
Inside is a briefcase containing a BombSpy. This alternate version of
the CamSpy will explode if you press 'B', while controlling it.
Basically, it's a CamSpy with a grenade or remote mine inside of it.
If you maneuver the BombSpy around the G5 guards they won't notice it
straight away. So if you can get it in the center (preferably a little
nearer to the control panel) and blow up. The alternate diversion has
been created as well! Moreover, all the guards should be toast about
now. It's not only easier, but much faster too!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain entry to G5 building
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: After completing the previous objective this is rather trivial. Just
enter the bloody car park (isn't that door too small for a car to fit in?).
Notice that if you blew up the control panel the door won't be able to
close during the ending cut scene. XD

Cheat 1 : Beat the level

Cheat 2 : Agent - 1:40
Cloaking Device
Cheese : In the damping field generator room behind a grate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: After Jo shoots a guard in the intro cut scene with her silenced
Falcon-2 his two buddies are alerted and put on their cloaking devices...
As you enter the level the guards are invisible, but the cloaking device
isn't perfect. If you look carefully you can distinguish a characteristic
darker silhouette of the people in the hiding places. Anyway, the first
guard usually materializes to shoot you on the very right side of the room.
After that the movements are more random.
The best help I can give here is to keep moving around in circles. If you
stand still for too long you'll be a prime target for them. You could try
to run around punch/disarming around. If you make contact they loose their
guns which makes them rather harmless. Lastly, knocking out the second
guard rather than killing him nets you the Crossbow. Although very stealthy
it's not very useful in this place.
When eliminated you get the Keycard 1 to unlock the door and continue on.
In the back of the next room there's a guy inspecting... the light switch.
As he's facing away from you he can be punched down in just a single hit.
Also notice the grating to the right were sometimes you may notice a guard
walking around. If they see you they will move into battle formation, but
this is only interesting for PA as that room is the damping field generator
room.
Before entering the third area turn the light switch off (press it once)
the reason for doing so is that in the next room the lights will be toggled
on/off automatically. Thus if you have the lights off initially they will
turn on making things easier for you to see. Enter the room and make way to
the glass section. This will trigger 4 cloaked guards to materialize in the
room and toggles said light. If you strafe really quick you can make it
back outside the doorway before it closes, but it's not that useful.
Anyway, you have 4 cloaked guards in about each corner of the room whom
just appeared. Bring out the CMP-150 and stand against the doorway you
enter (center path of the room). The guards will start running towards the
center so if you ready you CMP here you can get 1, 2 or sometimes 3 kills
right away by emptying the magazine at the right moment. If short on ammo
switch back to the Falcon-2 and hunt down the remaining foes like in the
initial room. Same tactics apply here; guards will only shoot after
materializing and they won't move once they start shooting. Thus moving
around is the best way to prevent damage. After killing the quartet the
last one gives another Keycard required to continue on. Before going
through the door notice the walking guard. It's very easy to kill him
either with a headshot through the glass or a punch in the back once he
turns away from you.
The next area is little harder to clear if you don't know what you're
doing. There will be 2 stationary and 1 patrolling guard around there. To
the right is an alarm box and triggering the alarm is the top priority for
them. If one of them spots you the others are alerted and one will stop
doing whatever it was doing, ignore you, and head straight for the alarm.
If you kill this person the next guard will take his place and so on, until
no one is left over. Thus if you stand near the alarm box you can get
sequential kills rather easily as they all go there one-by-one. This also
works in other levels with alarm boxes (such as Pelagic II). In any case
it's your top priority not to let the alarm sound as this will fail the
"Holograph meeting conspirators" objective.
So, once you notice the guard walk past the doorway towards the right (the
left has too little breathing room; he turns back almost immediately) enter
the laser grid room and shoot the guy in the back. Walk to the right and
kill the other guard as he makes way to alarm box if alerted. Lastly, the
guard from the far left may try his feeble attempt at the alarm box, but as
you know of his ways just let him come and shoot him down as he stops just
in front of the box. Note: It's not a good idea to reload in front of alarm
boxes as they tend to go off if you press 'B' nearby them!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable damping field generator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: In the laser grid room there's a doorway to the right of the alarm box.
Head down here and watch out for a guard on the staircase. If they got
alerted earlier on (through the grid) there will be one shooting you as
soon as he sees you.
Take him out, go down the stairs and kill the other guards hiding in their
places (2 to the right and one in front of you behind the last pillar). If
you crouch and step forward very carefully you can see their limbs before
they can see you. This allows you to kill them without too much difficulty.
Just shoot the limb so the move out of their position and go for a body /
head shot to nail them down one-by-one. Lastly, press 'B' near the blue
mainframe terminal to turn off the generator. Also the cheese is in the air
vent behind a grid here.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Deactivate laser grid system
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: On agent these are already shut down, but you can re-enable them any
time if you feel like being silly.
SA/PA: This does sound interesting, but all you need to do is press all 5
green lit control boxes to disable the entire grid, a rather contrived
objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Before moving on through the laser grid, make sure to get a headshot
on the guard through the glass behind the rightmost door. Easy kill.
Anyway, head up the stairs to the left and crouch down to get through the
disabled grid area. At the end the path bends off to the far left. There's
a guard down to the bottom right, but he can't see you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Holograph meeting conspirators
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: When you're still on the higher ledge of the room deploy the CamSpy
and move it into the small opening to the left to witness the plot of the
conspirator meeting between Cassandra, Mr. Blonde & Trent Easton.
There is however, a much more effective approach which makes cracking the
safe (see below) much easier. Just deploy the CamSpy and let it hover in
front of the gaping hole. Do not enter it as you DON'T want to trigger the
cut scene, yet. The Agent time cheat is so fast the game is pretested on
you abusing this trick to get through the sluggish safe cracking routines
in a fast manner!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Regain control of Jo and look down to see the lone guard here. Cap him
through the head and fall down the railing. Pick up the ammo of both
unknowingly guards you shot and watch out for the patrolling geezer who
walks through the stair case section here. Once you're up, open the door
and carefully look towards the right. There's a guard on either side of the
safe door entry whom can be shot before they have time to react.
Walk forward, follow the left passage to find 2 more guards. In the left
wall the distinct brick pattern can be seen; this is the lower escape route
wall from the previous level. Continue up ahead to find a staircase and a
single guard watching over the wall. Once gone all floors are cleared. Take
a look around here if you put a mine on the top wall panel in the previous
level to find a crate with N-bombs near the top exit. Sweet!
On your way back to the safe door place some N-bombs in proximity
detonation along the hallway and stair case. Not too close to each other as
they may detonate prematurely otherwise.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Retrieve Dr. Caroll backup from safe
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Once your in the room with the giant safe itself get the door decoder
out and place it on the wall's control panel to initiate the cracking
routines. This will trigger the alarm and an infinite stream of G5 special
forces with Dy-357s will be pouring into the building. The cracking itself
takes up 1:00 plus it takes 10 to 15 more seconds before the super slow
safe door finally opens far enough for you to grab the data disk.
This can be quite a challenging objective to complete and survive, but it
can be done more easily using a well-known trick. Once you attach the door
decoder, quickly go into the pause menu, select the CamSpy and press
forward. If you do this before the alarm sounds you can witness the
conspiracy meeting, while cracking the safe in the meanwhile! It's okay if
the alarm goes off during the meeting (it can't be aborted once it has
started XD). And because it is a cut scene all the guards are frozen in
position, thus they can't attack you. Your N-Bombs may detonate during the
scene as the guards can spawn into the level already at fixed locations.
After the 1:00 timer has expired still wait a couple of extra seconds in
order to assure that the snailing safe door has opened properly. You really
need this trick to get the 1:40 time on Agent for the Cloaking device
cheat!
Get the data back-up for Dr. Caroll's personality and gaze on the BAFTA
award that is next to it (Rare won a BAFTA award for Goldeneye so there's
the link).

All: Now it's time to get the hell out of here!
A: The Carrington team will blow a hole in the wall for you.
SA/PA: On higher settings you need to select the Remote Mines, select
secondary mode "Detonate", and press 'Z' to break the wall.
All: All that's left is running past the special forces guards, and head
towards the exit. There may be huge pile of ammo on the floor if the N-
bombs exploded, but that's not important now. Once Jo gets outside during
the outro the building and all the calmness has been restored (that's weird
seeing an entire swat team chasing after her just a second ago...).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: If you start the level immediately the game screws you over as there
will be a guard in your face whom attacks you straight-away. If you are
patient and look at the cut scene, until after the communication antenna
has been shown this guard will have wandered off around the corner and
won't bother you. Thus start the level properly this time and take out the
2 guards facing away from you on the helipad base. Alerting them will
trigger either one of them to head for the disabled drone gun to the far
right. If you let him tinker around too long the gun will be activated and
firing a constant stream of bullets at you. Easiest way to prevent this
from happening is shooting 3 bullets into the turret so it explodes along
with the guard (the other drones require 10 bullets however).
Collect the dropped Magsecs and also try to collect their grenades if
possible. Sometimes the grenades may be in such awkward positions that they
cannot be collected (glitch?), but otherwise you should have two grenades
with you right now. Proceed forward around the corner and use the Magsec's
extended zoom range to take out the guards. You may need to crouch as the
gun is highly inaccurate, but it's also more powerful. It's even worse in
secondary fire mode, so don't rely on that too much.
Keep to the right side of the track and collect the dropped ammo & grenade
to find the first operational drone gun. You can shoot it without
backfiring as long as the pivot point of the gun is outside your view.
Alternatively, chuck a grenade diagonally into the wall so it lands near
the drone to take it out. Continue forward, and repeat the process for the
following drone gun on the left side.
The distant watchtower can be taken on using two methods: 1. crouch down
nudge around the edge, and manual aim with the Magsec to hit both guards.
2. Run towards the tower and shoot them from the backside at a much closer
range. The latter is not as dangerous as it seems, because the guard's aim
is not very good when you are moving. Up in the tower there's a door
switch, but we're not going to use it.
Get down the base of the tower and slowly walk towards the long passage
leading to the main entry of the base. There's a single guard walking down
here. If he spots you he'll run off towards the back area. If he reaches it
before you kill him he calls for two newly spawned enemies to attack you.
Moreover, if you manage to hit him or his buddies, while they're in the
back area the two regular stationary guards will also be alerted. Thus you
might have to fight up to 5 of them at once. Fortunately, the long distance
means you have plenty of them to shoot them all down. Again, when using the
Magsec double crouch to make its accuracy at least mediocre.
Before going down there, which is only needed on SA/PA, go over to the mine
field (the area with the hole in the fence and the rocket launcher lying
about in the helipad area. You can get through either by putting a grenade
in the first half of the area to take out the mines, or more daringly align
yourself with the right 'leg' of the "H" marking on the floor and walk in a
straight line towards it. This line is safe, but if you sway off too much
you will get hit by an explosion. Once you're on the deserted helipad
collect the handy-dandy Rocket Launcher from the bloke who's lying dead
around here (he gets spawned in the level with no health and dies right
away, like the CI personnel in the Villa. I wonder why the programmers did
this).
Look for a hole in the back end of the wall here. There are no mines in
this part of the field, so you can safely enter the hole. Inside there's a
shield on the lower difficulties, and at the end is the 'backdoor' entry to
Area 51's base. There are two guards patrolling around the square bunker
you see directly before you. Take them out, but don't walk out too far as
there are 3 drone guns attached to the bunker. Walk around the back to
destroy all three (two on the left and one on the front right) from a safe
position.
In the huge open area you notice a technician working on an Air interceptor
bot. You might be tempted to shoot the interceptor from a distance so it
kills the technician in the explosion afterwards, but this is NOT a good
idea, unless you're going for a speed run. Instead, walk up to the
technician, let him see you and move back. He'll follow you away from the
interceptor so you can knock him out rather than killing him. The reason
for doing so is that you can get a really, really, _really_ handy weapon
(the Phoenix) in the next level if you let him live. It is recommended that
you do this as this makes the next level significantly more easy to
complete. Once he's lying unconscious outside the interceptor's blast
radius grab the keycard he drops and shoot the bot to pieces!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Shut down air intercept radar
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Enter the bunker using the staircase next to it. Enter the central
room and walk around the edge to reach the central area with a console.
Before going there chuck a grenade against the outer wall in the central
area to blow up the laser pads (they are not present on Agent). These
lasers become active after you setup the explosives on the computer which
can be a huge hindrance.
After doing so select the "Explosives" from your inventory and put them on
the computer to complete the objective. With the lasers destroyed you can
safely get outside the bunker before the auto-self-destruct sequence
completes. Otherwise, you have to wait for the lasers to cycle through the
on/off status.
Be wary that either one or two Dragon wielding blue overalls may spawn just
outside the bunker. This can be a nuisance when you try to ascend the
stairs. Sometimes they won't appear, but other times they do. It's not
known to me what triggers them exactly. So in any case be ready for some
opposition!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Now that the interceptor and radar are taken out of commission you
can enter the back area we skipped earlier on without worries for later. If
you complete the following objective first the interceptor will be flying
around the main area causing havoc to your health. You'd better take it
out, while it's turned off. Moreover, the technician will be inside the
bunker meaning that you can't have him live through the level (the
explosion will kill him) which in turns means that you can't get the next
level's Phoenix.
With that said, head down the slope and get out your Rocket Launcher. Walk
forward and look to the left for a drone gun. As soon as you spot it shoot
the rocket straight at it. The drone needs time to pivot around so that
gives you some leeway to aim. This drone is otherwise pretty hard to deal
with as the area surrounding it is very open!
Afterwards, switch back to either Magsec or Falcon and take care of the
other guards around here. Be careful as one of the guards near the back of
the area is very anxious in throwing a grenade right in front of your feet!
In worst case trace back a few steps so you can see the guards running
towards from the distance. When taken down head forward again, and follow
the left wall as close as possible.
There's a drone gun watching over the main entrance door. Slowly move
forward and shoot it as soon as you can spot the muzzle. Lastly, two more
guards may appear here on either left/right side of the doorway. Afterwards
the coast is clear.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Plant comms device on antenna
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: When you approach the Comm's rider antenna Jo will comment on her
inability to throw the bug that high. So, press the red button to the left
to lower the dish. Once its down you can throw the bug on it. Note: If you
crouch and throw the bug, while getting up Joanna is able to throw the bug
on the antenna dish without lowering it, because of the extra momentum. But
I wouldn't bet on it always succeeding!
Once the bug is attached get out a good gun as a special Area 51 guard will
appear from the locked doorway. He carries dual Magsecs which is the secret
dual weapon for this level. Shortly after that three more goons appear on
the scene as well. You might want to put a proxy-Dragon in front of the
doorway before throwing the bug up there... Alternatively, I found that
pushing the Hoverbike into the doorway also works wonders. The guards will
continuously try to get past the bike, but can't. They won't shoot you as
they're busy getting past the bike, so they're easy targets for you. Only
downside is that once you remove the bike to collect the guns the door will
almost immediately lock up again, and you can't reopen it yourself. Drat.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable all robot interceptors
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: If you took out the first interceptor as I suggested earlier on, you
only need to destroy the other two inactive bots right behind the
communication's antenna. Either a grenade or a few Magsec rounds will do
the trick. 'Nuff said.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Get on the hoverbike and ride back to the minefield. At the time you
get there two guards will run towards you from behind the mine field's
fence. Get off the bike and either use it as coverage or push it forward so
it hinders their movement. Get the Magsec(s) ready, crouch, and fire into
the distance. There's two newly spawned guards near the guard tower as
well, but if you enter the minefield straight away you will never have to
fight them.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain access to hangar lift
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: With the technician's keycard in tow activate either left or right
control panel outside the hangar bay to enable the elevator. The left
elevator has all flammable barrels inside and the right one has normal
crates and two blue overalls with Dragons. Personally, I prefer the right
one as the Dragons are nice to collect and the crates provide some
protection for the upcoming event down under. Leave at least one of their
Dragons lying around for later collecting.
When your at the bottom the other side of the fence opens and several blue
overalls spot you. There are two directly in front of you, so aim for those
first. They will start running towards you so shoot them with the Dragon or
Magsec. Before the fence auto-closes chuck the Dragon in Proximity mode out
of the doorway so it will blast them away when they get close up. On your
way up get the other Dragon and head down again. If there are any survivors
left a few shots with the Dragon will take them out. When you get outside
the elevator the objective completes itself.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Make contact with CI spy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: The only thing left now is making it to the exit, which is not too far
away. Walk around the wall and notice the guard lying on the ground. Snipe
him, then walk up the ramp to find another blue guard. Kick his ass, and
continue running around the higher level following the right path. There's
three more guards in this area of which the first two are preprogrammed to
throw grenades at your feet! Dispose of those before they get a chance to
blow you up instead.
Enter the elevator and reload your gun if necessary (you should do that any
spare moment you have left). During the trip you'll receive a message from
the spy telling you you're getting close. Once the door opens there's one
guard right in front of you and another in the distance. Take both of them
out. The latter will run for help if you let him live for too long.
Run around the area and note the music speeds up. Some guards spawn behind
you, but that's not important right now. Keep running, kill/maim the
overall you come across, fall down the ramp and enter the doorway right
away to exit the level.
On the PAL version of the game 6 or so guards appear running in this
corridor. You don't need to worry about them as they won't fire at you when
the door opens (i.e. if you enter as soon as the door opens nothing bad can
happen). There's also a neat trick I found out about these guys. During the
ending cut scene they are still there, but only turned invisible. If you
place a proxy Dragon in the passage before exiting the level they'll blow
up during the cutscene! One time I actually saw some feet flying through
the air just above Jo's head as the shot changed to her face. XD! As said
this only works in PAL, as there are no guards in the NTSC version of the
game...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: First off, leave the clumsy hover crate where it is, we won't be
needing it as we have other means to break through the marked wall. Notice
that even if the crate explodes one of the objective may fail, but it can
be 're-'completed after blasting the wall with other means afterwards
(figures).
Like the previous level, starting this level straightaway isn't a good
idea. Like Jonathan says the warehouse is filled with many guards, so a
different tactic is necessary to get through (at least on the higher
difficulty settings). Start the level either when Jo says: "Doesn't sound
the problem is me." or when she says: "Cute. Very cute." The reason for
this is that you can strafe into the elevator and get up to the first floor
using that, without having to wait. In the first instance elevator is at
the bottom and the door just opens (you only need to close it with 'B') as
you approach it and in the second it is about to close. So this gives you
two good entry points to reach the elevator. One or two guards will still
notice you, but they shouldn't be able to hit you at all.
Get outside the elevator on the first floor and head directly to the right.
There's a lone overall here which can easily be defeated. Now press 'B' in
an attempt to open the door and you see that it is locked. However, if you
let the Technician from the previous level live he will open it for you in
a like 3 seconds from that moment on. When this happens the defenseless
technician will run away as he sees you. Don't bother with him (or just
slap him once), run up the ramp, get into the elevator and run all the way
to the back room to find a small table with a Phoenix!
Why all this trouble for just this gun you may ask? If you ever used it
before you've noticed that any human opposition in Solo gameplay will get
killed instantaneously, when they get in contact with the explosions caused
by the gun in secondary fire mode. Thus switch to secondary fire mode and
stick with it for the rest of the level. You can also have an overview of
the previous level if you watch through the windows here.
With the Phoenix in your possession return to the warehouse. You might run
into some of the guards that were following you on your way here, but with
this explosive gun it should be very easy to mow them all down. Just blast
'em all over the place. Back at the elevator, take the guard down around
the corner and then aim for the more distant guards. I've noticed that
aiming for the floor directly in front of them can be very useful as they
die, when walking over the explosion. This makes getting some of the
distant kills more easily. Especially, considering that the gun's manual
aiming reticule is rather awkward.
Continue on to find another slow moving elevator and some guards along the
upper corridor. Again, blast them into oblivion using the Phoenix! If there
are any guards waiting for the elevator on the upper floor, just shoot
straight up to kill those as well. Enter the elevator, and get up there
yourself. Look carefully, with the Phoenix if any guards are still up so
they can be taken out in a single go.
Once you're up here select the Dragon and throw it in proximital mode a few
steps away from the elevator. This should prevent other goons in the
immediate are from following. Pick up one of the Dragons the other guards
dropped as we're going to need one for a specific strategy in the very last
stretch. Walk up to the cracked wall section and take it out using 3
possible methods:
1. Let the hover crate explode (hard)
2. Throw a proxy Dragon in front of it, and shoot it (medium)
3. Shoot the section with a Phoenix in secondary mode (easy; preferred)
A: In agent mode you can go straight for the claim lab technician disguise
objective.
SA/PA: A lot less luxurious game has to be played here. We'll first locate
the conspiracy evidence. You could go for the disguise first, but once you
put it on you're under a much stricter time limit. So I find this method
easier, and actually less time consuming, even though in the other case the
guards won't recognize you as a foe and don't mind you at all.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate conspiracy evidence
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA/SA: From the breakthrough point go left. There may be a SuperDragon
guard here so quickly dispose of him and collect his upgraded Dragon.
Continue on and at the junction go right. Take out the guard behind the
glass door, enter the circular room and run around it in counter-clockwise
fashion to find your first surgeon bio technician. Kill him for a
Tranquilizer, further on take out the other guards, and go back to the
entry to find a newly spawned guard here. You'd better take them all three
out before looking for the evidence itself.
There are four red buttons on the outer perimeter of this room the one
directly to the left of the entrance is the one we need. Press to make it
turn green and a pod will rise up. Put on your X-ray scanner and watch
around, until you see an alien silhouette, and get a confirmation that the
target has been locked. You can safely put the X-ray goggles off, but don't
move as off now or you'll lose the lock. After a few seconds the objective
will be completed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: As you backtrack to the broken wall section 1 or 2 more guards might
appear, but it's nothing special. Look through the crack if you can see any
blue overalls waiting for the elevator to come down. They're sitting ducks,
when you use a single Phoenix shot right now. You might as well take them
out now, if there are any of course.
Continue on to the next junction. The empty room to the left has a
shield(A/SA). Use the Data Uplink on the console in here if you like to
make the lights go all haywire, but it's just optional and for fun to do
so. The room in front of you is locked, but necessary for the PA objective
as it contains the computer records console. Walk down the right passage
and shoot some Phoenix shells into the ground right in front of the guards
overlooking two opposite rooms to kill them straightaway.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Destroy computer records
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: At the intersection the right room contains two consoles, an inactive
drone gun & two lab technicians, whereas the left room has an unarmed lab
technician with one console. If you try to enter the right room the lab
techs try to activate the drone gun, but if they succeed you can disable it
by downloading a virus with the Data Uplink in the opposite room.
Alternatively, just shoot the console and the lab coats before they get the
chance to turn the bloody thing on. The second console is necessary to
download another virus to. If you succeed at this one the doors will start
to open/close randomly. This also unlocks the previously mentioned doorway.
Head back for this door and throw in some Phoenix explosive shells or some
Super Dragon grenades to blow up all three people in there. If you manage
to destroy the console the objective will be completed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Obtain and use lab technician disguise
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: An lab technician will be standing right behind the cracked wall and he
drops the suit right in front of your nose as he dies due to the explosion
you caused when entering the lab section.
SA: Open one of the two smaller doors at the end of the corridor to find
the showers and locker rooms. Inside is a Super Dragon guard, and further
on is a lab technician holding a suit. Just nail him down to find the suit
on the floor.
PA: The doors are locked on PA... So open the central door instead to find
yourself in a very large room. Several guards will fall down from the
walkway and come towards you. Pick them off with the Phoenix before they
can aim at you. Get out the Super Dragon and dispatch of the group of 4 to
the left before they spot you with a grenade. Otherwise use the crates for
cover and get in some good shots.
Go up the ramp, head right, walk over the small ledge and enter the
ventilation shaft (the cheese wedge is just up ahead). The hole in the
floor is exactly above the locker room. Fall down, take out the Super
Dragon guard and enter the shower section. The lab technician won't be
carrying anything on him as he was on A/SA! Put him to rest and search
through the lockers to the right of him to find it. The X-ray scanner makes
it easier for you to locate the correct random locker.
All: Collect, equip the disguise, unarm yourself and go for the autopsy.
Your name is now Harry as some people will call you that later on. There's
also a time limit to complete the "Gain access to autopsy lab" objective.
The timer denotes how long it takes before the enemies see through your
disguise. You need to finish the objective before this happens, or you'll
otherwise fail the mission.
Guards whom see you for the first time will react with "How are you"
responses, whereas guards whom are already alerted will see through your
disguise. As long as you remain unarmed the friendly guards won't have any
idea of what is going on.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain access to autopsy lab
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Back at the breached section enter the doorway to the side. In the
long corridor punch the guards out in the back and walk up ahead. Make sure
you are unarmed here and talk to the security personnel behind the glass.
He'll unlock the door and let you in. Once this happens punch him out (KO)
and punch out the lab technician close by (also KO).
You no longer need to worry about your disguise so equip the Phoenix and
shoot through the glass to kill the second technician. Collect his keycard
to complete the objective.
Quickly turn towards the door now as 2 Bio technicians attempt to run over
the door. Use the Phoenix's explosives to finish the job in a correct
manner. Next to that 4 Super Dragon guards will spawn each behind an office
wall. They remain hiding there until you get too close to them. Again, with
the explosive power of the Phoenix this should be rather easy. Just shoot
the feeble office walls to kill the guards hiding behind them as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Rescue the crash Survivor
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Now that you have the keycard exit the long corridor and go into the
room adjacent to this one. It's another corridor with 3 more Area 51 guards
and 1 bio technician. Just shoot more Phoenix shells near their feet to
take them out, and have them do a silly dance for you.
At the end ready your regular Dragon, look down a bit and open both doors.
Chuck another proximity self-destruct Dragon into the back room and close
the door as you pull back. What happens is that four enemies will start
shooting at you as the music speeds up, but with you behind the door they
come towards and get blown up by the proxy Dragon instead. This is by far
the easiest and also relative fast way of dealing with them. Sometimes one
guard may survive, but you should be able to handle the silly bugger by
yourself.
Collect the keycard the last one of them is carrying and enter the surgery
room to find the alien along with 2 doctors. In the cut scene Jo will be
carrying a Scoped Falcon even though there isn't one in this level at
all... Next to that there's no laser in the room as well, maybe she's
getting a little delirious here.

Note: From here on you'll encounter guards that have more health that the
regular ones. Thus it becomes more important to aim for body/head shots in
order to conserve ammo. Up to now 2 body hits are sufficient for a kill,
but that's not enough for the in this level. Explosions still get the
better of them nonetheless!
All: At the level start you'll be exposed to nerve gas, thus you have to
escape fairly quick in order to sustain minimal damage. Therefore, I would
not recommend getting the dual scoped Falcon-2s if I were you, but if you
like you'd better get them now. The guards on this level have more health
than usual, but once we get explosives this will make little difference. XD
Strafe run diagonally forward towards the double door. The doors will open
automatically if you get close enough (read: bump the trolley into them).
Continue strafe running, until you get outside the next corridor to reach
the main hallway with fresh air. You should take damage a single time, if
you put some effort into it (If you're a real speed demon you might make it
without any damage at all, but this is rather difficult).
Continue to the left and scoot past the bio technicians. You can try to
shoot the one straight ahead of you, while running but don't worry about
the other. Keep running forward and the brown wall segment will open up, go
down the ramp and release the trolley, while strafing down if you time it
right you can get ahead of it to manually open the door so the trolley will
slide into the back room. If you do this before 0:40 has elapsed you get
some Remote mines soon enough. Once you're done a message from Jon comes in
telling you come look for him.
Return to the Bio technicians and take them both out, if they are any left,
and head into the passage the second tech was standing in front of. Open
the next door to find two more lab coats. Most of the time one will be
standing directly behind the door, thus shoot him, close the door, reload
and get ready for the second one. Afterwards, head forward to find a door
that was locked in the previous level.
Open it, and the box of mines should be lying in the alcove ahead of you.
There are 2 Super Dragon guards to the right (plus one directly outside the
doorway). You only have a Falcon-2 and a stapler.. Tranquilizer gun. Even
if you look very carefully around the corner they still notice you very
easily, which makes this section harder than usual. If you can't get direct
hits on them open/close the door so you can target them while they're still
waiting for the door to completely open.
Collect the Super Dragons and switch to secondary fire mode. Go outside and
dispose of the two goofs waiting up for you. I'm also very tempting to blow
up the lights here, because they're annoyingly bright here, but that's just
optional. Sometimes I've noticed that the guards can shoot through sections
of the walls so don't bet on being safe if you're outside their line of
sight. Anyhow, walk up to the metallic door to find...

Objective: Locate alien tech medpack
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: On PA (or SA for that matter) there's no Jonathan to be found here.
Blow up the bullet proof glass with a Super Dragon grenade, press the
switch that was behind the glass, walk around the S turn and kill the guard
in the distant corner. Look to the right here to see a small containment
room. If you press the switch the door is unlocked and you can get a small
case with the Alien medpack inside (you already have it at the start for
SA).

Objective: Rendezvous with CI spy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: Jonathan will be right at the entrance of the door we just opened,
replacing the medpack that is not in this difficulty setting. That's a
quick rendezvous.
SA/PA: With the Super Dragon in secondary mode, run through 4 doors in the
long hexagon corridor. At the end shoot a grenade that the lone trooper
guarding a door. Sidestep to the right, blow away the next dude, continue
on, aim slightly upward, and send the next guard a few grenade presents.
Run around the walkway to find Jonathan around the corner here.
After the chitchat he'll follow you. Immediately shoot some grenades at the
doorway to the right (there's 3 A51 people behind it). Run back all the
way, open the door the original lone guard was standing in front of, then
shoot some more grenades at the second door to take out another quartet of
fresh guards all the same.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Wait for Jon to catch up and run all the way back over the metal
grating, until you reach the room with the remote mines. As you open the
door 4 guards are standing next to one another. Chuck in another grenade
round to see the amazing domino brothers fly around. Collect their ammo
while waiting for Jonathan to appear. If he doesn't appear go back after
him, it might be the case that he's off fighting some guards with his
Magnum or bare hands (he has this feature to knock any guard out in a
single swipe o_O).
SA/PA: Place 1 remote mine near both doors in this room before Jonathan
gets back and keep the last one to yourself for now. It will aid you later
on (see "Revive Maian bodyguard") for the details.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate secret hangar
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Upon Jonathan's entry of the hangar he starts examining the reddish
colored wall for like 30 seconds to find the passage. You in the meanwhile
have to cover him as guards can come pouring in from any direction, but
only if you're not to close to the spawn points.
The best way of dealing with this situation is by standing in the door
opening that leads to the outside. If you do this, the guards won't enter
via the other doorway (proven by many playthroughs) and the guards on the
metal grating will have to run through your barrage of Super Dragon
grenades. Really, it's quite easy to pick them off with manual aiming. Just
shoot a grenade if a guard appears and he'll die just because of the
explosion. Keep on doing this even after Jonathan is done with his
investigation of the wall. He'll setup an explosion with breaches the wall
and allows the two of you to reach the hidden hangar. Once you hear the
explosion leave your post and go through the newly created hole. Don't
worry about Jon!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: There's a guard up ahead which is an easy target for your Super
Dragon. Just fall down the ledge here and enter the doorway below to find
Elvis' trolley. On Agent you don't need to do anything, the cut scene plays
immediately.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Revive Maian bodyguard
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Apply the medpack on the alien and get out your remote mines. Run
through the corridor where you was when depositing him here. Throw the last
mine in the distance and wait two/three seconds. Regardless of whether
guards are coming in or not detonate the mines. The reason for doing so is
that the medpack works faster if you kill more people. So next to clearing
the hallways it also means you need to wait through less time. Afterwards
go see Jonathan. He may require some assistance if he's surrounded by more
than a few guards.
After like 45 seconds or killing ~5 guards (can be done in 5 seconds with
the remote mines) the medpack will activate regardless of how many people
you took out after administering it. You'll hear a bleep when it completes
to denote this fact, when that happens just run back to Elvis to trigger
the cut scene.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: You see Protector-1 waking up with a comedic headache. He prefers to
be called Elvis and will help you escape from the 'area' if you can guide
him to the last remaining vessel (read the typical saucer UFO).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Escape from Area 51
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: After you regain control get outside, up the ramp and shoot a few
Super Dragon grenade rounds in the room. This to clear them out once again
as new guards may have spawned. Fall down the ledge again and follow
Jonathan & Elvis. Once Jon stops look to the upper right railing to see a
distant guard. Switch to primary fire mode and shoot the goon down. Don't
use explosives here as the console next to him is of vital essence!
Elvis explains that there is no room to take all three of them away. So you
are left with a decision. Either you or Jonathan has to escape the base by
him/herself. Initially, Jonathan will volunteer to stay behind and he'll
run off to activate the consoles to open the hatch doors. However, if you
walk up to Jon as he makes his way to the ramp Joanna will counter
volunteer and thus you have to activate the consoles and escape by
yourself. This will impact the game-play in more than one way:
Jonathan stays behind:
-Quickest escape.
-Jon will activate the consoles for you.
-Jon will not reappear in Carrington Institute: Defense level,
thus suggesting he didn't make it out.
Joanna stays behind:
-You have to activate the consoles.
-You have to escape on foot/hoverbike through the front entrance of
Area 51 (recall Infiltration). It is a nice exciting ride, but
can be difficult.
-Jon appears in CI: Defense near Carrington's safe helping you out a
little.
So if you made up your choice head towards the consoles in either case.
Once Jonathan is stuck with his role the music will speed up and the
consoles become active. Now you can press the buttons on both of them long
before Jonny boy makes it to the first one. That is much faster, and safer
than just waiting around. End of Mission. In case you remain behind the
quickest route on the hoverbike is as following (from the point you get on
the bike):
-Up through the brown door
-Left and take the doorway to Right (brown door)
-Up ahead through 3 sets of doors then Right at the end
-Further forward, through another door
-Take the hexagon passage in the far back left
-Continue on through a door
-Go to the left and through 2 more doors to reach the foot entrance/exit

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: On Agent the 2 Alaskan guards on either side of the entrance won't
appear so you don't need to worry about those.
SA/PA: Once you start, first make sure the Crossbow is completely deployed.
Turn around the corner to the left to come face-to-face with a white coated
Alaskan Guard. Shoot him with the Crossbow before he runs off, then go into
the other inlet and quickly kill the second guard. If you fail at the
former, he'll run to alert his buddy on the other side whom is next to a
security console. Only the white coat next to the console itself will
activate the alarm, but if he does so it's a mission failure!
All: Don't enter the Air Base just yet as you first need to obtain & wear a
disguise. Take out the guard patrolling back and forth the entrance and
cavern, if you're slow a guard will walk through the front door. Don't
shoot him there. If the receptionist inside sees a dead body or you without
a disguise the alarms will go off and it's again a mission failure.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Obtain disguise and enter base
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Enter the cavern entrance and walk around the S-turn. Ready yourself
as the stewardess and 2 Alaskan Guards are wandering around this area. Try
to pick them off from a distance, otherwise wait around the corner and once
the firing stops drug them. Make sure to sedate the stewardess as it is not
allowed to get her killed. Select the disguise from the pause menu to wear
it. Once this happens switch to "Unarmed" as you cannot go with weapons for
now. There is also a box of proximity mines lying in the far back. You may
want to get these to make a later section easier.
Once you punch/drug the stewardess a guard might come running from the base
towards the tunnel (even if you make no noise at all). If you're disguised
already you can just punch him out with single strike as he doesn't suspect
you at all. Time to enter the Air Base itself. If you're not sure that
you're wearing the disguise just punch once or twice and note the color of
Joanna's sleeves. If they're blue, then you're correctly wearing the
disguise.
So, when disguised & unarmed enter the base and walk up to the
receptionist. She'll after two lines of chitchat she unlocks the wooden
door in the center. You can now punch out the receptionist from the back,
when you stand behind her. Do the same with the Alaskan guards to claim
their guns, if you really want to.

Objective: Check-in equipment
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: At the Air base's entry head towards the left and get up the second
floor using the elevator. Upstairs there are two office clerks sitting at a
table. They don't recognize you so just punch them out (one punch each is
sufficient). One of them will start to attack you and another attempts to
run off to the alarm switch outside. Pick up the white briefcase you'll
need this later on at the conveyor belt.
Enter the back area of the base and go down the escalator up ahead. Down
under you'll find the said conveyor belt. Select the Briefcase from the
pause menu and press 'Z' to put it on the square next to the belt. Now you
lose your entire inventory's contents and you'll also need to disable the
monitoring system within a preset time limit. But doing the latter will
bring out ~16 NSA bodyguards which makes this section very hard.
So before placing the suitcase on the belt follow the instructions in the
objective below to make this section much, much easier!

All: Again, here's a map with the overview of the Air base's back area and
all the points of interest. The most optimal path (i.e. safest / quickest)
is different for each difficulty so this is explained below.

Notes:
-The metal detector gate at (!) will make a lot of noise if you trespass
without placing the suitcase on the conveyor. If it's triggered you can
still quickly walk back to make it stop. Oddly enough, if you walk through
it after placing the trunk on the conveyor and getting another Dragon
afterwards it doesn't sound.
-After you deposit the suitcase you'll lose all your items/weapons, but
not ammo. Thus collecting another Dragon afterwards you can still
use your entire magazine like before.
-Alaskan guards will attack you if they see any unconscious bodies lying
around or when see you with a gun. Otherwise they just walk around and
greet you.
-NSA bodyguards only spawn right after you shut down the system. All
Alaskan guards will disappear at the same time, but each one leaves his
respective Dragon lying around on the floor. These can come in handy when
placing proxy Dragon traps around or for getting a weapon period. They're
scattered everywhere so use this in your advantage!
-Spawning of the NSA bodyguards can only occur if you're not too close or
in visual range of the spawn point. If you fall down the staircase at (C)
quickly, the first 2 or even 4 guards cannot appear if you make it
around the corner ASAP.
-NSA Lackeys are expendable and may be killed. They are also traitors
that work together with the bodyguards once the system is shut
down. Two of them wield a Dy357, but the one near the console has a
K7-Avenger.
-If you kill the NSA Lackey with the K7 before he can eliminate the
Alaskan guard he'll drop dual Dy357s as an additional prize. I really
don't find it worth it. If by some accident the Alaskan guard is killed
by something else (say an exploding console) you can still get the dual
Dy357s from him afterwards. It has happened on some occasions that this
guard keeps shooting at thin air after the console exploded, or that he
dropped the guns when I killed him later on in the game.
-An office clerk will be executed by an NSA bodyguard in one of the upper
left rooms. To witness this you'd have to be very quick as most of the
time there will only be a dead body or nothing at all to be seen in that
room. Moreover, sometimes the clerk is still standing there crouched with
his hands over his head with no NSA bodyguard to execute him (might be a
glitch). Even if you manage to save the clerk you get nothing from it.
He'll just remain crouched for the rest of the level. Also the clerks are
expendable so if you happen to (accidently) kill one this is no issue.
-The door to the Flight plan safe and exit 1 only opens after shutting down
the monitoring system. Agents/Special agents don't need to go here. For
them the elevator leading to exit 2 is a much easier/quicker route.
-Take care when throwing proximity (Dragon) mines around that the movement
of the Hovbots / escalators in the two larger areas can trigger them
prematurely. I used to throw a proxy Dragon right behind the door leading
to the back area, but if placed too close at the entrance the Hovbots
trigger it even if the mine was on the other side of the doorway. This
was not what I had in mind for it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Subvert security monitoring system
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: At the sign go down the escalator to the right and ignore the NSA Lackey
whom tells you that you shouldn't have come here. Go right through the
corridors, but before going to the console head up to the elevator door.
Even though the door is locked, press 'B' to bring the elevator up; this
allows for a quicker exit when the black robed bodyguards spawn. Now run to
the console and disarm the Alaskan guard to claim his Dragon. At the
console press 'B' and quickly fall down the stairs to prevent the 2 NSA
bodyguards from spawning (enemies can't appear if you're looking at the
spawn point). Run to the elevator and get inside. This should allow you to
get through without any trouble.
SA: The route for Special Agent is basically the same as for Agent. The
only difference is that you first need to place the suitcase on the
conveyor belt. Doing so will put up a time limit of roughly 20 seconds. It
should be possible to call the elevator (see Agent), and then disable the
security. Again, after shutting it down fall down as quick as possible to
prevent 2 bodyguards from spawning.
PA: Perfect Agents also need to go through the upper left route to obtain
the flight plans. As the door to that region is locked, until the
monitoring system is shut down. If you follow the initial SA strategy,
until the monitoring system off you have to go through the hell of all
those NSA bodyguards. This will and can very easily kill you as they all
carry the powerful K7 avengers! To get through this area safely follow
these instructions:
1. Upon entering the place deploy the DrugCam so the Alaskan guard at the
junction of the escalators comes towards you. Once he is in the corridor
drug him to get rid of the nuisance. The reason for doing this is that
I've noticed that knocking him out in the area where he stands will
trigger other Alaskan guards. These guys are sometimes rather psychic
and can see through obstacles if the body is in the same area. And we
don't want to alert all of them.
2. Collect the DrugSpy and arm yourself with the crossbow. Use it to knock
out the NSA Lackey, or run down the slope and punch him out. Take care
that the Alaskan guard to the right doesn't wander in at this moment or
he'll notice you.
3. Go for the two Alaskan guards to the right, try to drug them with the
Crossbow so the Dragons fall down to the floor. You'll want to collect
them after depositing the suitcase. Right now you can also kill the
lackey at the second elevator so he won't bother you later on. If you
disarm them you'll often collect the gun right away and that's not the
intention.
4. Head for the conveyor belt and drug the last Alaskan guard. Now, before
placing the suitcase on the conveyor get your 5 Proximity mines out:
- 1 on either side of the sign at the upper junction of the escalators.
It shouldn't explode too early, but will kill off 2 NSA bodyguards
later.
- 1 in the corner of the corridor with the metal detector. This should
kill 2 more men in black.
- 1 at the base of the most distant pillar in the room to the right of
the first Lackey. If you walk around the distant wall you won't trip
over the mine yourself when heading for the console. Another set of
two guards is down for the count.
The last two can be placed either in the room directly below the
console, but these guys shouldn't spawn in the first place if you're
quick. Or in the room with the conveyor belt, but I've noticed that if
you don't walk into the area yourself the guards won't follow you at
all. So they are no treat, but if you do place mines put them at
eye height against the wall otherwise the Hovbots will trigger them.
5. Place the suitcase on the conveyor and head for the console. Get there
without tripping any proximity mines you placed, and collect 1 Dragon
along the way so you have a weapon to defend yourself. Trigger the
mainframe. Now read on in the next section as this objective intertwines
with the next.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Obtain flight plans from safe
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Only Perfect Agents need to do this, and it follows directly from the
strategy spelled out above.
5. (continued)
Fall down and listen for any explosions as you make your way
past the now unlocked door in the large room. If you did everything
correctly not a single NSA bodyguard should be able to attack you. As
they'll all get blown away by the proximity mine traps. :)
6. Pick up some dropped K7 Avengers along the way and place a proximity
Dragon right after passing through the previously mentioned doorway
(just not too close or the hovbots trigger it). Use the K7 to kill the
single NSA bodyguard up ahead and ignore the scared clerk, if he's alive
at all. The bodyguard should be looking away at the wall so go for a
single headshot, so the 2 guys in the corridor don't get alerted as
well! The proxy Dragon's explosion will tell you, if and, when any
other guards are on your tail. So listen to it! Although, it shouldn't
go off at all. It's a last line of strategic defense before you have to
fight guards from both sides of the corridors, which is a terrible thing
to do I know from experience.
7. Pick up the Dragon(s) lying around here, there is guaranteed to be at
least one in this place. Reload the K7 or switch to the Dragon and look
around the corridor. There should be one guard standing here, if you
didn't make too much noise. Shoot him with several bullets so another
guard is lured out. Wait a second or two and he'll appear, take this one
out as well as he's running straight towards you... the fool!
8. As noted by the map there are still 3 more NSA bodyguards in the top
left room. There's also an remote mine attached to the door there, but
it's difficult to shoot the mine without getting hit by the three of
them. A much easier way is using another proxy Dragon. I always save
that last Dragon for this part. Enter the first room to the left with
the clerk. He'll whine about saving the plans in the safe, just cap or
ignore him. Open the door to the right and carefully look around the
left corner. You should just be out of first NSA bodyguard's range.
Ready the proximity Dragon and throw it a little upward into the
entrance. It should bounce off the wall and lie in the middle. Now
shoot or move around to make the guards trip on the proxy Dragon and
double BOOM this should kill all of the last remaining goons around.
Now the coast has been cleared completely you can go for the Flight plans
themselves. They are in the safe inside the completely locked off room. You
can only shatter the glass with explosives (perhaps that's why the Remote
mine is attached to the door for some reason).
If you followed to previous steps all the glass should have been shattered
now by the explosions. Crouch and enter this back area, but the safe is
locked... Look in the back right corner of the room to find switch under a
glass blub. Press 'B' twice to move the glass away and press the switch.
This slowly opens the safe from which the plans can be recovered; easy!

Objective: Board Air Force One
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: As mentioned before there are two exits in this level. Each elevator
takes you to one of them. The exit you take will also determine the entry
point in the next level, so there's some advantage to taking one as opposed
to the other. The elevator to Exit 1 will have you start in the center of
the Air Force One craft. The other, Exit 2, will have you start in the rear
cargo area which is very close to the first objective, for SA/PA that is.
However, I've noted that using Exit 1 has the tradeoff that the
presidential bodyguards will see you as a friend. Using Exit 2 will have
them think you're a terrorist/stowaway and attack you (at least until you
meet up with the President himself).
Personally, I'd opt for Exit 2, but on Perfect Agent you might want to take
the safer path along Exit 1 if you're badly damaged as no guards appear
along it. You can then play it again on Agent optionally with cheats and
get Exit 2 or the other way around. The game only remembers the last exit
path taken and is difficulty/(non-)cheat independent. You do have to
complete all mission objectives as a failure doesn't count.
Exit 1: Enter the elevator, wait until it stops at the bottom floor, close
the doors, wait for the next stop, get out follow the left corridor, and
enter the plane via the boarding pod. If you alert the guards at the bottom
floor the pod and thus the exit will be locked down. This leaves you only
the other option. However, because you don't need to get down there at all
this should not occur.
Exit 2: Enter the other elevator and wait until the doors open at the
bottom. Make sure to have your Dragon / K7 ready when it does. Step forward
and look around the corner. There's one guard in plain sight and another
around the second corner. Shoot them both! Now blow up the console near
them, or do this right away to have the explosion kill them in the process.
Blowing up the console will make the laser grid malfunction continuously
putting the grid on/off in a repeating cycle. Use this to find the path
(there's only one way) to board the plane via the ladder. There may be some
guards in the distance shooting at you, but they shouldn't be able to hit
you from that faraway. You could try to pick them off, but it's not as easy
even with the Avenger's 3x scope view.

Stuff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shield 1 (A) : In the kitchen's right corner.
Shield 2 (A/SA): In the large room with the piano.
Secret Weapon : Dual Cyclone
Enter the left & right hub near the ramp leading to the
president. Punch out the nearby Presidential guards to
claim their keycards to open the doors.
Cheat 1 : Beat the level
Laptop Gun
Cheat 2 : Perfect Agent - 3:55
Infinite Ammo, Laptop sentry gun
Cheese : In the room just before reaching the escape pod there
are some pipes in the floor. Look down and observe the
small wedge sitting between them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: If you exited the last level via the pod you'll start in this level in
the center of the plane. All the presidential guards will recognize you as
a stewardess so they don't mind you wandering around all over the place.
Use this to explore the place and also to collect the dual Cyclones if
you're really interested. Otherwise just complete the first (two)
objective(s) below here in order.
In the cargo bay there's also a Hoverbike on a platform. If you lower the
bike by pressing the red button in front of it the bike will be lowered. If
you do this you'll start out with a Hoverbike close by you in the next
level. This can be a very handy thing, so it might be worth the going here
even on Agent.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate and retrieve equipment
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: If you started in the cargo bay, just walk back one more room. For
the other entry point walk up to the back end of the plane on the base
floor. You can explore freely so take your time. There's a red/brown hatch
in the floor around here which leads to the bottom floor. Climb down the
ladder and go all the way to the back to reach the same room.
In here you'll find a lone technician. Punch him out before he points his
Cyclone at you and press the red button to make it green. This raises the
platform close by which has the suitcase from the previous level on it. It
doesn't contain the stuff you had last time, but it does have a Laptop Gun,
a Timed Mine and 2 Combat Boosts inside (Strange.. That's not what was
inside during the last mission).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate President
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: From the cargo bay area you don't need to walk all the way to the
front of the plane to get to the panel leading to the main level. Instead,
walk up to the kitchen area. Punch out the two stewards in here before they
can make too much noise. Walk up to the dataDyne panel you see here and
activate it. A small elevator drops down, so duck twice and crawl inside.
Wait until it reaches the top and open the small door to exit this confined
place.
Once you stand up straight again, you'll notice this is the entry point of
Exit 1 in the previous Air Base level. Which is the same as a possible
starting point for Agent player who did not need to complete the previous
objective.
With all paths aligned, walk up the central large wooden door and open it.
Then go up the square staircase in the center to reach the top level. A
presidential guard nearby might see through your disguise by now. Ignore
him after talking to the president they'll become your allies, anyway.
Upstairs go directly to the left to find the Presidential chamber.
Inside talk to the guy and wait for the entire conversation to pass. Make
sure to remain in the same room, or have eye-contact. If you fail to meet
this requirement only for a split second you'll fail the objective! Once
done a cut scene is shown were an alien craft attached a tube to Air Force
One. And thus several (not one) Mr. Blondes and NSA bodyguards start to
appear on the ship!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Note: These last three objectives can be done in any order.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Detach UFO from Air Force One
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Even though, this objective is last in the list its easiest to clear
it right now. Dash down the staircase, go through the door to the left of
the stairs. Equip the Timed mine and throw it into the tube as you pass by.
That's all. XD
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Get President to escape capsule
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Now quickly switch to the Combat Boosts and press 'Z' twice to
administer both. This makes the upcoming section really easy to complete.
Once done switch to the Laptop Gun and open the door just right of the
alien tube, while the gun is deploying.
Enter the room, make use of Slow-motion game play and kill both NSA
bodyguards quickly with well aimed head shots! Run through, start reloading
the gun as you need the full magazine in the next section, open the door,
open another one behind that to find Trent in the back of a stretched
passage. There's also 2 Mr. Blondes which have a lot of health, one of them
to the left of Trent outside of your view. So first take out the Blonde in
sight to the right (go for a headshot), then run through the other Mr.
Blonde.
Ignore the invincible Trent and exit via the left doorway. In the back
there are two more NSA bodyguards whom MUST be killed otherwise they'll
execute the president, when he trails in after you. Go down the opened
hatch, kill the lone bodyguard to the left, enter the doorway and take out
the last goon standing in front of the president's escape pod.
The effect of the double Combat boost should wear off by now, but the
hardest part is done so that's okay. If you took out all guard the prez
will make it to the pod by himself.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Secure Air Force One flight path
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: During your time creating the escape route for the president the two
pilots will get shot in the cockpit. So to complete this objective you can
either kill the NSA bodyguards in the cockpit before they execute them, or
enable the self-stabilizing autopilot. The latter is the easiest option as
your top priority is getting the President safely into the escape pod. If
he dies in the gunfire it's a mission failure all the same.
So after clearing out all the guards in the previous objective make your
way to the square staircase again. Upstairs follow the path along the right
wall towards a small door in the front. Enter it, plough through another
NSA bodyguard and run through two more doors to find the cockpit. There's
two more black guards in here, but you can just press the button in the
center to end the mission (the guards are also facing away from you).

Trent's magnum (Dy357 LX)
Cheese : Go to the area with where the AF1's cockpit is located.
Use the sniper rifle to zoom in on the wrecked wing. In
the distant far right of the wing the cheese is located.
It may be hard to spot and you might need to adjust your
position, but it is out there somewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: This level is rather huge and has a dark maze of caverns connecting
one place and another. The simplest solution to my knowledge for PA is
first saving the president and then doing the other objectives. As you
otherwise be hunted down by Blonde's and Avenger wielding NSA bodyguards
all over the place. The hoverbike, if you dropped it down in the previous
level, will make traveling around somewhat easier and faster. On agent it
is just as easy to do the objectives in numerical order, though.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate and rescue President
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: From the start walk back to the hoverbike. Ride it (press 'B' twice)
and go further down the field. At the end you'll find two NSA bodyguards
and a Mr. Blonde with a Sniper Rifle. Get off the hoverbike and take all
three of them out. Continue in that direction, walk over the wooden log
(you can't fall off the ledge here) and you'll arrive in a very huge area.
This is one of the few spots in the game where you may notice lag even
without anything special going on.
Continue running over the plain to find Elvis. Meet up with him to receive
a proximity mine, but it's not really that useful here. Keep on going,
until you find a hole in the wall. Enter the crevice and ready your Remote
Mines. You'll hear a humming sound caused by 4 floating drones (like the G5
robot only smaller). If you attack any one of them the other three will
find their way to you, so you need a different approach here. This is the
place where the President is being held hostage by Trent.
Look through the gap to see one maybe two drones. Now chuck a mine down
under and have it explode in mid-air (press 'B' + 'A' at the same time for
a quick detonation). This clears half of the drone robots for you. Walk
down the ramp to the left and carefully look around the corner. Two more
drones appear here.
Again, throw a Remote mine in and have it explode. Just make sure not to
detonate it too early or else the President might get caught in the
explosion. Once the coast is clear run down the ramp and walk up to Trent.
Select "Disarm" and try to knock the Dy357-LX magnum out of Trent's hands,
on SA/PA this gun will be very handy for another objective. You only have
one chance at getting it; if Trent starts running you can no longer get it.
So either way get the gun and start running back to Elvis. The president
will follow right behind you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Get back to the Hoverbike near the wooden log where we left it be. Get
on it and drive along the plain in the other direction, follow the right
wall a bit. You'll come along a gap in the right wall which leads to the
Medical scanner (PA objective). If you come across any guards you can
safely continue on as it's nearly impossible for them to hit you when you
travel on the bike.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Retrieve Presidential medical scanner
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: When you reach the previously said gap enter the area and keep left.
Look around the plane and find the white suitcase lying abound. There's an
NSA bodyguard here with his back turned to you (he won't notice you). It
may be hard to spot, but it's there. Once you found it leave this subarea
and continue on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Activate distress beacon
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: After passing that gap leading to the scanner continue up ahead. The
presidential escape pod is lying on its side. Approach it and press 'B' to
activate beacon. This can be done while riding the hoverbike, but may
require a bit of practice.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Keep following the right wall, ignore any distant guards, ride past
the piano, then go down the ledge to find a dark cave. You have to turn
very tightly at the wall's end to make it there in one go on the hoverbike.
At the bottom get off the bike, equip the night vision goggles and enter
the right tunnel.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Retire Presidential clone
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: In the dark there's a Mr. Blonde hiding directly to the left of the
entrance. Kill him quickly, follow the left wall, take down a second Mr.
Blonde, reload before continuing on, look in the distance and notice two
people. the right one is a Mr. Blonde (large silhouette) and the left is
the clone of Mr. President. Kill him using the K7's scope view and ignore
the Blonde.
Otherwise you may have to run after the clone (and use the R-tracker) to
locate him. He's unarmed and stationary when you go for him now. But as
soon as they see you he runs off so make sure to nail him quickly!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Shut down enemy jamming device
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: If you go for the President after doing this objective you need to
run through a lot of guards on the way back through the caverns, therefore
the Prez should be saved beforehand. Now it's only a one-way path from the
Presidential clone (previous objective) to the level end (the jamming
device).
From the location where you killed the clone look in the nearby right wall
section for a hole. Enter this place, reload the K7 and unequip Night
vision as well. Continue running along and kill the stationary guard at the
end of the crevice. Get outside and you'll find some guards on tight
passages hanging over bottom less pits (yep, just like in the Mario games).
Shoot the guards directly in front of you, and follow the path to the right
along the left wall. There are 2 or 3 lonely guards here, but there will be
a large group coming out of the same cave entrance so keep running.
At the end there's a sharp bend to the left which leads to a field with two
drone guns. The K7-Avenger's secondary mode will detect them. Crouch for
better accuracy and use an entire clip to destroy the right one nearest to
you. Now equip Trent's golden Dy357-LX magnum as the Skedar ship would
require 3 or 4 entire clips to destroy with regular bullets. Run closer up
to where the drone gun was and look in the distance, when you spot the
alien ship shoot to destroy the craft with a single bullet. Make sure
you're standing in a distant place as the following explosion will destroy
anything nearby. Once it's over the level ends (given you completed all
other objectives). This should happen before the guards on your trail catch
up with you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: You'll be shooting red overalls all over this level. The crew of this
old tub all wear the same stuff and there's lots of them in every corridor.
The first section will be feature alarm boxes which should not be
triggered. Doing so will add several more guards to the level and in the
Moon Pool lift panel room, which is otherwise empty. You'll also lose your
chance at having dual silenced Falcon-2s when that happens, by the way. As
in the G5 Building a guard who goes for the alarm will ignore anything else
so they're rather easy to kill.
From the start get out your Laptop Gun, open the first blue door and shoot
the guard whom is facing away from you. There's no need to hide behind the
portal window here, but shooting through the glass will come in handy later
on. Run down the slope and take out the next guard around the corner. This
clears the first corridor.
Run over to the next doorway and aim through the glass window. You'll
notice the head of the guard looking at the door. Shoot him through the
head with a single bullet and a second guard will kneel next to him. Again,
a headshot takes him out with relative ease as well. Now you can safely
enter the corridor yourself. Look around the left corner to find two more
guards, when those are gone the second corridor is yours. The passage to
the left leads to the first objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable primary power source
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Enter the blue room and look around for a security camera near the
staircase (there's another one behind the staircase as well). A patrolling
red overalls soldier may come into the room so listen carefully. Once all
is safe go back to the upper ledge and equip the X-ray scanner. Look for
the green panels and disable those (press 'B'). Once they're all out,
unequip the X-ray scanner and press the button on the cylinder down under
to turn the room dark and complete the objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
First, the rest of the corridors need to be cleared as this needs to be
done anyway. I prefer not to continue on along the previous corridor, but
instead go into the blue hallways via the doorway opposite of the power
source's button. Follow the path to the right and you'll notice two guards
watching over each other through the porthole. Again, shoot them both down
and enter their place. The other doorway with no porthole is where we go
later on (SA/PA, on A it's locked).
Two more red overalls will stumble down the stairs here so wait a few
seconds for those. Once they're all gone carefully look up for a bypassing
guard. He should appear right after the previous two are dispatched off.
Don't let him see or it all the other guards will get alarmed. Wait a few
seconds until he's gone and out of sight. Walk up the stairs and look
carefully around the corner to the left. As soon as you spot the stationary
guard shoot him in the limbs so he'll cripple for a moment allowing you to
take him down.
Follow the path to the left, open the door and shoot the 3 guards in this
hallway. It's one long straight path so it should be rather easy to do. The
door to the left here leads to the Moon Pool lift panel for SA/PA.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Activate Moon Pool lift
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: If the alarm didn't go off by now this room will be quiet and clear,
otherwise you need to dispose of 4 or 5 additional guards in here. The best
way to deal with them is opening/closing the door over and over to get some
shots in while not sustaining any damage yourself. Once the coast is clear
enter and press 'B' in front of the console screen to the right. A/SA can
also get a shield here.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Continue up ahead and use the single headshot through a porthole trick
to kill the two guards in the next room. Reload your gun and once the door
opens dash to the right like mad. The 2 last guards over there will notice
you and run for the alarm. If you take these clowns down you'll get a dual
Falcon-2 (silenced) from the last dude as he drops dead. That was the last
of the alarm boxes in this game!
If you walk through the doorway to the left of you you'll return to the
corridor where you came up stairs. Going through the doors up ahead gets
you back in the second corridor. However, the passage between here and that
other corridor leads to a whole new section of the Pelagic II.
Enter this place to find an empty stretched path leading up to a green
walled section. Just before going up there are also two doors opposite of
each other at the intersection as it were. The left leads to the PA
objective and the right leads to the 'golden' corridors which lead to the
level exit. However, that is the hard way of reaching the exit as well see
later on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Secure laboratories and research data
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: As stated above take the left doorway to find some yellowish/golden
corridor with a security camera in the distance. Shoot it down, as soon as
you enter the place. Then run up to camera to find another intersection.
The doors to the left and right lead to two scientist rooms. Enter them and
punch out all three scientists to claim their research data to complete the
objective. Don't try to shoot them or it's a mission failure. Next to that
these scientist run all over the place so slay them as soon as you can.
From here return to the doorway were we strayed off just before this
objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Deactivate GPS and autopilot
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Go up the stairs here and you'll find two guards in the green walled
section. Eliminate them and head up some more stairs to find the GPS and
auto-pilot commandeered by three naval officers. Show them a gun and
they'll wimper around. Jo will 'politely' ask them to shut everything down
and the first one obliges. Once he's done the second (it's random which
one) will pull out a Magnum, so just punch him out and the remaining pilot
will disable the other console completing the objective for you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: You really don't need to go through the entire golden hallway
sections, unless you really feel like it. A glitch in the game which is
explained below makes it possible for you to reach the end right away.
Although SA/PA still need to get to Elvis first in the blue corridors.
Agents can skip this section. They can return to the Moon Pool lift control
panel right away.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Rendezvous and escape with Elvis
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: Head directly for the Moon Pool Room. Read on at the "All:" section.
SA/PA: Make sure to have activated the Moon Pool lift or Elvis won't appear
at the end! Having ensured that return to the blue corridors and walk back
to the other doorway whose porthole was sealed off. Open it and walk
through it. On the left there's a lone guard and another security camera.
Take both out, and walk through three more corridors filled with two guards
each.
You'll now be near a small stairway leading down. Walk down here and again
carefully look around either left/right corner to spot a guard. Shoot him
several times and immediately retreat back up. This will lure 2 or 3 guards
towards the stairs where you can easily take them out as they run towards
you. Go down again, and walk all around the place toward the end. There's
another duo of guards here. Just nail them down and look down the stairs to
find another set of two which can be shot without them seeing you.
Go through two more doors (another lone guard is in here) to find a huge
glassy area where Elvis is waiting for you. He tells you it is time to
leave the old boat and so we do. As with Agent, you don't need to go
through the golden corridors, but instead return to the Moon Pool lift
control panel room.
All: Enter the Moon Pool control panel room and walk up the ramp on either
left/right side. Equip the X-ray scanner and look for a rectangle on the
wall. That's the control panel on the other side of the wall. You can just
press 'B' to enable it right through the wall! This will complete the
objective for you and end the level.
This works provided you completed all the other objectives before this,
otherwise you have to complete those objectives afterwards, just to find
out that the door can't be 'unlocked' a second time. Thus if that happens
you do need to go through the hallways.

Farsight XR-20
Cheese : In the first corridor at the start look through the left
window at the ocean floor. You may want to zoom in using
either a Sniper Rifle or the FarSight to see this one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: As the intro showed the purple dataDyne sniper cronies have Shotguns
and cloaking devices. Moreover, they have shields as well so this is going
to be a very hard section to begin with.
- The Falcon-2 requires too much shots to disable the shield and kill
a sniper guard
- Disarming a guard doesn't work, again because of the shield
- Shotguns fire is hazardous to your health, especially considering
the high degree of accuracy the AI has
- There are no objects to hide behind
- Elvis can instantaneously kill a guard with the FarSight, but he does
need to be able to target it. He can also punch them out in a single
swipe like Jonathan did in Area 51: Escape.
- A Shotgun on secondary fire mode (Double shot) is the only practical way
of dealing with them, but the gun's reload is horrible so make sure you
don't piddle dry when you need it the most.
- IR-scanner we coincidentally have will reveal the guards even when
cloaked, but this does make the entire vision rather dark and limited.
- When guards are cloaked they are sitting (rather standing) ducks.
Make use of this!
From the start run through the corridors, change to the Shotgun (double
shot) & Infrared sight and ready for a hard battle. Open the second doorway
to find a guard running away from you and two more. Follow the former and
shoot him as soon as he stops, then go after the other two. Don't walk out
too far or the two snipers in the distance will get attracted. First these
three need to be taken down. With a little luck Elvis will kill the third
before he can shoot you.
Reload the entire magazine, then walk up ahead as you notice a single guard
running down the slope. He should stop near a rocky section to the left.
Kill him there before he readies a shot, then carefully move around the
rock to find another guard hiding around here. He won't notice you if you
don't get too close by so that's another easy kill!
Again, completely reload the Shotgun and walk up the slope and enter the
first section of the double doors. Wait a bit for Elvis if needed, then
open the other part of the double door. Two guards opposite of each other
will run across one and another. This gives you an opportunity to strike
them both with double kill if you shoot right at the moment they run past
each other.
Lastly, kill one more guard to the right and two more on the left. The rear
left one will drop a box of Proximity Mines, so don't get to close by when
shooting him or the recoil of double shot may cause the crate to explode!
Once they're dealt with get the mines if possible. The rest of the level is
rather easy if you know what you're doing.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Reactivate teleportals
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Switch over to the Falcon-2 and unequip the IR-scanner as you walk
down the long ramp to the right. There's also a dead Skedar warrior around
here we'll be seeing more than enough of those cretins later on, but they
won't be dead. For now we need to worry about more hillbillies in red
overalls. There's three of them around the corner, so take them out with
the scoped range of the Falcon-2 before they can retreat.
Walk down the dark passage to find two more Pelagic II guards and what
appears to be a dead end. Look around and you'll notice a small pillar in
an inlet. Shoot it to light the pillar up and this also opens a passage
opposite of it. Make sure Elvis is close by as he can shoot down all the
blokes in this hallway with perfect aim single shots. Joanna is better off
supporting him by shooting the ones that get too nearby. Elvis is rather
slow and defenseless when punching people out.
Shoot the second pillar in the distance to reveal another corridor. Go
through here to find two more guards and a third pillar in the right inlet.
When this one is shot go back to the first intersection to find the control
room. In here a Mr. Blonde and two red overalls are waiting for you, if you
made too much noise, otherwise they'll be scrambling about making it easier
for you to take them down.
In either case move forward and use side stepping to take each one out
individually. Alternatively, just run into the room and go in circles to
make it impossible for them to hit you. Once Elvis steps in you can leave.
He'll tinker around with the controls and complete the objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: In the meanwhile you can just run back to the main corridor and head
through the first green metallic doorway. Then go along the right passage
to reach the first teleporter in the distance.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable Cetan megaweapon
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This objective goes completely different for each difficulty scale so
here's a split up for all three of them.
A:
SA:
PA:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Secure control room
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: After warping out of the Farsight section you'll find yourself one door
away from Dr. Caroll's location. There are 2 Mr. Blonde's there as well,
and the entire objective is eliminating those fiends. On A/SA they won't
appear at all. Just shoot them through the door with the Farsight and
that's all. This objective is really lame...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Restore Dr. Caroll's personality
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Select the memory back-up from your inventory and walk up to Dr.
Caroll. Agents can just walk up to him without selecting the item. Watch
the cut scene and see how our dear doctor gives up his life for prevention
of a greater danger and he initiates a self-destruct countdown sequence.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Escape from Cetan ship
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: After the scene select a gun if you like (a submachine gun like the
CMP will do best), run through the door ahead of you and trace your steps
back to the start of the level. Some guards, 3 red overalls and 2 snipers
will spawn around here, but they shouldn't cause any trouble. You can run
past them; time is more of the essence here. Spray some bullet around to
make all red overalls stutter and cripple for a moment allowing you a safe
passage past by. Once you open the second circular door the level is over.

Objective: Reactivate automatic defenses
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: You'd better do this objective first as dataDyne guards with shields
keep pouring into the base and without the gun turrets they'll quickly
overwhelm the institute. From the start ignore the Skedar Warrior for now,
run backwards, go down the ramp through the open passage to get on the
helipad outside.
Keep running forth and enter the right entrance to reach a brown walled
section. Run to the left and activate the first gun by pressing the panel.
Continue on to the left, through a door, and another to find another panel
on the wall which activates the second drone gun.
Instead of continuing on left go right, and walk around the ledge. There
should be metallic crates in the deep pit here. There might be a single
shielded dD bloke here, but a good portion of the AR-43 clip should put a
halt to him. Enter through the doorway above which an inactive auto-defense
is located to find its control panel. That makes 3 and completes the
objective. Now head back to the starting point.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Release hostages
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: There are 8 Carrington personnel people kept hostage in all in groups
of two. The most fluent way to do this is to go for the people upstairs
first (information and item training), then the hologram room and lastly
the firing range as the experimental weapon is also there. You need to save
at least the following amount to complete the objective:
A : 2 or more
SA: 4 or more
PA: 6 or more
At the starting point kill the Skedar Warrior if the CI guard hasn't done
so already. This should have at least weakened the Skedar. Collect his
Mauler or not, and go up one of the elevators. Run towards the most right
room and before entering it use 1 Combat boost to make things easier. Ready
the AR-43, open the door and just hit both hostage takers once with manual
aim from the doorway. It doesn't matter whereas they have no health
whatsoever.
Immediately leave the place and strafe run around the wall to the
neighboring room with Grimshaw. Kill both hostage takers here as well to
save two more people. Now get inside and collect the Devastator with 3
shells which is a must for PA.
A/SA: You can go downstairs now and just visit the other rooms having the
hostages get killed. If you insist on freeing them read along PA's lines.
PA: You might rather want to complete the special PA objective "Destroy
Sensitive Information" right now as things heat up later on... Once that is
done go downstairs as well and enter the hologram room with the Devastator
equipped (2 shells remaining). There are 3 shielded guards in here taking
the personnel under fire. Shoot a grenade a diagonally into the right wall
so it lands right behind the wall section. This kills two of them! In the
meanwhile run backwards around the left side of the wall. Shoot the last
grenade at the last remaining guard's feet to obliterate all of them.
Alternatively, shoot him with an AR-43 clip, but you can't kill all three
guards before they start shooting as the shields take too much time to tear
down completely.
Now head over to the firing range and enter the place making sure the AR-43
is completely reloaded. In here two more dataDyne thugs are shooting K7-
Avenger bullets at the 2 CI people whom defend themselves with Falcon-2s.
They might be able to ward off the troopers themselves, but most of the
time you rather need to help them out in order to save them. These two are
the hardest to save in my opinion as they get killed rather quick when you
enter the place.
In any case the "Objective Completed" should appear by now. Walk up to the
computer in the firing range and you'll notice a new gun in the wall's
glass casing.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Destroy sensitive information
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: With the Devastator in tow halfway through the "Release hostages"
objective, run to Daniel's room (the leftmost place). Jonathan will be
standing here helping out a little, if you escaped Area 51 on foot the last
time you played it. Enter the room and shoot a grenade shell at the distant
panel in the wall. This destroys the sensitive information in the safe
which you otherwise need to come back for after the next objective. But by
then the place will be flooded with shielded guards. And even with the
experimental weapon this is not a good thing...
Btw. The laser will only work on the safe's door panel after completing the
first three objectives in order. It's pretty strange in my opinion, but you
can only break it afterwards. Explosives however just bypass the door &
lock and blow up the info in one go. Much easier, faster & safer!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Retrieve experimental weapon
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: If you followed the strategy during the time you saved the other CI
personnel you should be in the firing range by now looking at the gun in
the glass casing. Once all people are freed you can access the computer and
when you activate it the glass shatters. Walk up to the gun and collect
Foster's latest invention: the RC-P120. This gun doesn't come a moment too
soon.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Deactivate bomb
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Immediately select the RC-P120, run back towards the door and set it
to secondary fire mode "Cloak". Apply the cloaking as literary a dozen of
shield guards and Mr. Blondes come pouring in. While being cloaked dash
back towards the helipad outside as there will be a Skedar ship located
here. If you were cloaked all the way to here this place should be
completely empty (maybe there's just one Mr. Blonde looking away from you,
don't attract him).
Change to "Data Uplink" and bide your time around the vessel as you wait
until it leaves.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Once you hear the completing 'bleep' during the virus upload change
back to the RC-P120 and you should still have ~3/4 magazine left. This
should be sufficient to run back along the right passage towards the jump
ship in the hangar. When you reach that place the level will be over.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: This is probably the hardest level next to "WAR!" on the Perfect Agent
difficulty setting. You should prepare for this level and get accustomed to
fighting Skedar Warriors as it is not the same as fighting the human AI.
Skedar Warriors are a lot less sophisticated and have a much more simple
script running.
Most Skedar wait for you to appear, then they shoot you a few times and
move into a different place, then shoot you again and so on and on. You do
need to take care when you get close by, as a single swipe or head butt is
hazardous and sometimes lethal even at full energy.
Like Deep Sea the first section is by far the hardest part of the level in
my opinion. So once you control Joanna open up the first door and wait a
little until you see a Skedar running off. Wander around the passage and
stay back, until Cassandra gets killed and the Skedar in front of you turns
his back to you.
Walk up to the alien and slash knife into the back of its head. If it
didn't notice you you'll land a surprise attack and kill it in a single
swipe. Otherwise you may have a very hard time..., you'd better restart.
Collect the Mauler from him (you start out with a little ammo so on PA you
should have 20 bullets rather than 10 at this point!) and carefully look
around the corner for the second Skedar. Make sure the Mauler is set to
secondary "Charge-up" and once you can get a clear headshot shoot once to
kill it as well. Don't waste too many bullets on him!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Disable shield system
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: There are three alien terminals in the lower area next to where
Cassandra got killed. Walk down here and shoot all three of them to
complete the objective. It costs 3 regular shots with the Mauler or a
single partially charged up shot (2 bullets charged or more).
If you do the game will say you failed the objective. It is technically
still possible to win, if you fight the upcoming Skedar with the Combat
Knife, get the bullets and recomplete the objective afterwards. But I
wouldn't bet on you winning that fight; you're best off restarting, when
this happens.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: You can collect Cassandra's necklace and read the description in the
Pause menu to find a secret key code, which has no use. For some reason you
can only get the necklace on PA! Apart from that PA players need to open
the hangar doors first before Elvis and his crew can join the party.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Open hangar doors
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Go down the turbo elevator to reach the hangar. There are 2 Skedar
walking around here, but you should ignore them as you're very low on ammo.
And you may need the shots a little later on. So instead, run up the ramp
and strafe down the other opposite of it. The Skedar have low accuracy at
the long distances so this method is safe enough. You'll find another
elevator over on that side that brings you up.
Once you get out of the elevator, crouch and look around the left corner to
see a single Skedar. If you have any bullets left try to go for a charged
up Mauler headshot in order to eliminate him. If you don't have any ammo
strafe directly to the left to find two alien terminals. Press 'B' in front
of one of them to unlock the hangar doors.
Do all of this rather quick as the two Skedar in the main hangar might come
after you on the elevator. Also keep your Mauler ready when going back down
as they may be waiting for you just before you can meet up with Elvis...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Go down the turbo elevator to reach the hangar where Elvis meets up
with you. He'll hand you over an AR-43 along with 200 bullets! Next to that
two of his comrade protectors are to be found in the hangar bay each
carrying a Callisto NTG. You could kill them for the gun, but you'd better
not as they'll help you out during the fight in the hangar bay.
There are six bays and Skedars will start to appear randomly from each one.
You're objective is to kill as many as possible, after a certain number (I
think it's something like ~10 kills) the blue elevators on the left side
will activate allowing you to continue. So ready your AR-43 and go for the
two rightmost bay doors. Stand in the central path and constantly turn
around to notice any opening hatches. Once you spot one use manual aiming
to kill them. Don't be conservative about ammo, just keep shooting. The
'greys' will take care of the other door bays. After taking out 6 to 9 make
your way to the blue elevator door and once it opens get inside to reach
the next section. Elvis may come up towards you, tell you that he'll take
the other elevator and follows after you.
Note: The Skedar appearing from the hangar door spawn points are only half
as strong as normal specimen, thus they are much easier to dispose of.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Access navigational systems
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: While going up to explore the rest of the ship make sure to look at
the direction the entrance door was (thus turn around 180 degrees) and walk
into the left wall. This is important if you don't want to alert the Skedar
at the top. The reason for this is that a Skedar will be looking through a
window right at the elevator pad, but he can't see you if you stand
completely to the left.
You can open/close the 'window' portals to have a brief look at the
universe, but it's not really useful. Rare Ltd. also went a bit overboard
with the lighting in this place, virtually anything is a light source in
here.
Anyway, when you're done messing around crouch and open the door while
standing a little on the left side of it (not too close to the wall). Take
one step forward and you should be able to see the body of a Skedar to the
left. Shoot him, while he can't see you. A single charged-up Mauler shot is
preferable. Next turn to the right and repeat the process on the other
(this is the Skedar that watched over the elevator through the window a
second ago).
Enter the room behind him to find a Skedar facing away to the right from
the doorway. Again, if you step in carefully you can shoot the Skedar's
head tail without him noticing you for an quick kill. On A/SA there's a
shield on the table so you may want to collect it.
Reload your gun and enter the doorway to the left to find a distant Skedar
opening fire on you from the right side of the corridor. Walk a bit closer
towards him and shoot the head to slay this beast. This part can be very
damaging for your health so take care. Next to that Elvis is really easily
killed around here, so make sure you keep ahead of him...
Continue forward to find a T-junction in the next room. Take the left path
to find green 3D holographic star map. There's a Skedar on either side of
the room, so crouch and step in carefully for single head shots with the
charged Mauler. That is the safest tactic I can think of. You may need to
step forward a bit more as the Mauler sometimes shoots in the wall rather
than hitting the target if you're close to an edge. Once you inside the
room Elvis will run up to the space map and complete the objective. You can
continue up ahead already.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Run through the other exit, reload the Mauler, go through the right
passage, kill the Skedar right after the door and head up the ramp to the
left. In the distance you'll notice a Skedar shooting at you. The first two
shots he fires at you always miss, so run closer up to him and kill him
then. The third is most likely to connect, hence do this quickly! Go around
the corner and you may notice a Skedar running off. You can kill him if you
like, but he shouldn't pose a treat.
A: Agents can continue running up the ramp you come across right now, until
you reach the top. Continue below the following objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Sabotage engine systems
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Instead of going up the second ramp, follow the right wall to find a
blue door with a Skedar hiding behind the doorway, and there's also another
to the left. Make sure your gun is ready to fire when opening it! Now you
can go either left or right around a corridor towards the engine room. I
found a rather safe strategy in the following approach:
-Go through the right passage, kill the Skedar behind the second door,
crouch and look around the corner across the light blue engine room. You'll
notice two Skedar in the opposing corridor. You can just sniper them down
with the AR-43! Even if you miss them they'll stay put and won't come after
you. Misuse this shortcoming of the AI to shoot their tail sticking out of
the head. Step forward a bit, until you can see the brown object that is up
against the central energy beam. Just shoot it while standing in the
corridor as the 3 Skedar in the engine room won't come after you.
-Head back into the central room, then go up the left passage. It should be
empty at the end as you killed both Skedar in the previous run. Repeat the
same process by using crouched manual aim from within the corridor to
prevent getting hit by the Skedar in the main room.
-Once the second brown object is destroyed a timer will trigger initiating
a countdown, until total destruction of the place. Strafe run back like the
wind past the blue door to make it to safety. All Skedar within will be
fried so if you like to pick up more Mauler ammo, be my guest. Afterwards,
go up the ramp like Agents did already.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: At the top of the ramp, crouch again (for better accuracy), and look
around the right corner. A Skedar is near the next doorway, but shouldn't
be able to notice you. Again, shoot the tail thingy on the head for a kill
with only 2 or 3 bullets.
Enter the passage, reload and open the next door. There will be another
alien atop the ramp on either left/right side. I'd prefer to go for the
right one. Run up the right ramp into the corner, shoot the Skedar coming
for you and turn to the left. The other Skedar should be running down the
slope. This makes him an easy target for you. Watch out in case Elvis comes
blundering into the room, you do not want to kill him. Elvis will stay
behind here, securing the perimeter, right. <_<
Go up two more elevators, and on the second get ready to get shot by three
Skedar on the bridge of the ship. Crouch and run into the right wall to
seek refuge. Once more step forward slowly to fight them one-by-one (they
are stationary at all times). The center Skedar holds dual Maulers and may
drop down the ramp, because he steps forward each time he aims at you. Once
you got them all three quickly run around to collect the ammo and dual
Maulers!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain control of bridge
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: the last part of the level is really hard even with double charged up
Maulers. You have to fight 6 to 8 Skedar running into the place in groups.
However, there is a trick that allows you to beat it really easy.
Once Elvis comes running into the place, run up to the doorway which is now
opened. Stand against the left or right wall so the passage cannot close.
If you do this correctly it'll remain open allowing you to kill the single
Skedar that is spawned in here.
Now quickly run over to the right passage and shoot both Skedar whom appear
here. If you can kill the one in the back the level finishes, but this
alien stays behind so if the doors close you cannot yet beat the level.
Keep waiting for another chance. It's not the number of Skedar you beat to
finish the level, but those two specific Skedar are the key to beating it.
This can be very handy for completing the time cheat on Special Agent. ;)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: This is it! The final part till the end of the game. Skedar attacks
are numerous around here, but it's not that bad once you get to know what
to do and where traps are located. From the start change to the Callisto
NTG on High Impact shells. With this gun you can take out most Skedar
Warriors effectively with only a few shots.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Identify temple targets
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: At the start also turn on the R-Tracker in the inventory to make 3
green dots appear on the map. These mark the 3 obelisks (random selection
out of 5 obelisks in total) you need to tag with a Target Amplifier.
Enter the passage to the left and look for an unarmed Skedar Warrior
warping in from either left or right. This is random, and usually it
appears usually in the way it screws you the most. Continue on and hide
behind the first obelisk as there is a Skedar with a Reaper after that.
From the current safety point turn left and eliminate the Skedar Warrior
who's coming for you.
Reload the Callisto, tag obelisk #1 (if it is marked). Jo will also make a
remark upon passing the first valid pillar so you now know what to look
for. Sidestep from behind the obelisk to trigger the Reaper Skedar to shoot
you. Once you hear no more bullets rain sidestep again and kill him.
Continue on past him and before you reach the junction turn around to kill
a Skedar that was trailing on you. That bad beastie warped in just after
you passed by. Reload and look for Skedar warping in from both left/right
sides. Start shooting as soon as you hear them.
The right branch leads to obelisk #2 behind a wall segment, tag it with the
Target Amplifier if it's on the R-Tracker's radar. The left branch leads to
a ravine, but we don't want to go down there right now. Follow the right
wall and hide behind the little niches in the left side of the corridor
where a Reaper Skedar starts shooting. Once he stops take him down, and
walk up to the back area to find obelisk #3.
To the right are two stationary Skedar Warriors with Reapers attacking you
on sight from behind a fallen obelisk. Fight them one-by-one using the same
sidestep-wait-sidestep tactics as before to kill them, when they're
reloading. Collect the Reapers for ammo if you like, then run past to the
right side to find a very huge pillar being obelisk #4.
The last pillar is in the chamber behind this place. There will be two
Skedar warping in, if you walk in too deeply. So just chuck the Target
Amplifier directly forward to hit obelisk #5 if it's the required one. This
makes things easier. Once the objective is completed all pillars will
shatter to pieces by some mysterious force...
Note: Use the Devastator on the 2 incorrect obelisks so they blow up. The
large obelisk (#4) requires 2 shots. If you do this double Phoenixes will
by lying on the floor near the ravine. They are not as useful as that bonus
Phoenix in Area 51, though. But you may want to reconsider.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Return to the ravine, collect the Phoenixes if you blew up the other
two obelisks, and look directly down towards the right. There's a Skedar
Warrior with a Reaper down here. You'd better make short work of him before
he nails you. Once he's gone look over to the left and notice another
Reaper Skedar. Take him out as well to secure the area.
Go down the ladder and walk over to the left. Thread carefully here as the
ravine can mean a plunge into the bottomless pit. From here you can go two
ways:
1. Blow up the rock using either Devastator or Phoenix and climb atop the
ladder on the side. You'll find a dark metallic wall section on the left
side. When you wear the IR-scanner a dark outline appears. Blow this piece
of wall up with an explosive to enter the catacombs of the Skedar ruins.
Several mini Skedar keep spawning in here as you run around the place. Go
left and enter the doorway to find a small puzzle room.
2. Follow the left ledge along the left wall, walk past the rock segment
and switch over to the ledge on the right after that. Then fall down the
ledge while strafe running forward into the wall (use C-right). If you do
this correctly you'll end up near the switch room. The advantage of doing
this is that you can skip the wall blasting section and the mini Skedar
won't appear in the next section. Go right and open the door in the wall to
find a puzzle room. (Btw: if you use this second method don't waste the
last Devastator round or else the game thinks you failed the objective, as
it reads the wall not being breached).
The Falcon 2 might be good to use here as single pistol shots will kill the
mini Skedar with ease and you may want to conserve on Callisto NTG ammo for
the boss fight. Doors in this place randomly jam, so if they don't budge
press 'B' again to make them open properly.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Activate bridge
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: There's one baby Skedar in here so just shoot him once with any gun.
The puzzle you have to complete in here is pushing the broken pillar
section onto the corresponding brown tile. Just run into the pillar to push
it around. Once you do so you'll get a message saying that the bridge
extends. Through the open gap in the wall you can even see the platform
move.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: On the other side of the bridge you'll find a few more mini Skedar
with their feeble attempts to attack you. Considering it's dark in here you
may want to use the IR-scanner if you don't know the place. Otherwise use
the Falcon-2 to take them out and run along the corridor going right, left,
left until you reach a door on the left and a ramp to the right. Perfect
Agent players can better go through the doorway as they need to clear the
lower area first. A/SA can continue reading below the following PA-only
objective.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Gain access to Inner Sanctum
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: When you enter this area there are two stationary Skedar Warriors in
here each carrying the alien version of the rocket launcher: the Slayer.
Shoot them down with the Callisto or Phoenix (the explosions from the
Phoenix can blow their rockets up in their face).
Collect the Slayer rockets and watch out for the Skedar with a Reaper up on
the higher section. Use either a guided Slayer missile or some
Phoenix/Callisto rounds to take him down from a safe distance. Walk up to
the small pedestal next under the Reaper Skedar. Look down a little and
you'll get a message that you need to sacrifice a gun in order to continue.
So select a gun you can miss (Falcon-2 most likely) and press 'B'. After a
second or so the gun should be taken from your inventory.
Wait until the objective completed message appears before switching guns
otherwise it might take your Callisto NTG which is perhaps not a good
thing.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Walk up the ramp and continue over the transparent ledge, through the
doorway, around the corner and another set of double doors. Agents can skip
through the following room and head for the boss straightaway.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Destroy secret Skedar army
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: If you enter this room the easiest way to get rid of all 7 Skedar
(one in each green statis pod) is using explosives. If you don't have the
Phoenixes you should have 3 Devastator rounds left over. Shoot a grenade in
the center of each set of two doors (two on the left and one on the right)
to kill the first 6 Skedar.
Then use the Callisto / Phoenixes on the last single pod to the left in the
rear. The first Skedar to appear is always in the right back statis pod so
aim for that directly when entering the room. Once all Skedar are gone
collect the Maulers and ammo if you like and continue along through the
double doors to meet the boss.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Assassinate Skedar leader
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: First some introduction on this boss. When you enter the room the
Skedar leader will be standing in the back of the room just in front of the
holy altar. The leader itself is invincible, because it has a shield so you
can't kill him directly. The leader's attacks consists of the following
list:
1. Summon a Skedar (Warrior) into the scene whom attacks you in turn.
Just shoot the Skedar before continuing to hit the leader.
2. Disappears and warps into the battle arena in an attempt to ram you.
Run around in circles and never stop!
3. Shoot a slayer missile at you.
Don't get too close up when this happens. At a longer distance it's
easy to side step the projectile.
What you need to do is shoot the shield, until it turns black and the
leader will kneel down in the center to regenerate his shield. During the
shield's regeneration time the Skedar insignia at the top will be
vulnerable. Shoot the non-shielded parts (starting at the bottom). After
several shots the weakened piece(s) fall off. Once the leader's shield has
been restored the attack pattern starts all over again and you need to hit
the shield until it turns black again to repeat the process.
Now that you know of the leader's ways select the Callisto NTG on high
impact shells, open the final door, aim up a little and start shooting
while running towards him. If you do it right you should get his shield
entirely drained before he can even start his first attack. Walk up to the
front right corner, crouch once, reload, and shoot diagonally upward at the
junction of the bottom two prongs. If you hit at the connection point of
the two bottom prongs you can eliminate those both at the same time!
Each time a prong is destroyed the leader can restore less energy for his
shield, thus it should become easier each time round to take his energy
shield down to black. The nice thing about this strat is that the leader
shouldn't be able to get a single attack on you! The hardest part is not
having the leader attack you during the 2nd iteration as the leader's
shield will have the most energy (the first isn't that bad as you get lots
of time when entering the room). The best way to ensure him not attacking
is to reload the Callisto only once the leader runs off to regenerate (use
the pause menu reload for even better results). You don't want to reload
after a prong is destroyed as the leader gets up immediately afterwards in
an attemp to attack you! In all the pattern is like this:
Start
|
v
-> Disintegrate leader's shield
| |
| v
| Reload Callisto NTG
| |
| v
| Destroy a prong
| |
----------------
The leader will get up with his shield restored. Shoot him continuously,
until he kneels, reload now while it's safe, and shoot either left or right
prong (you can't get them both this time). Upon shooting the final center
prong the game ends stabbing the leader through the head.
With a little practice (practice the level with a Super Shield or
Invincibility cheat otherwise) you can follow this pattern without the
leader ever attacking you regardless of the level difficulty A/SA/PA. For a
little variation I tried shooting a Slayer rocket at the leader the moment
I entered the room, that did make the first phase go faster, but the smoke
makes things harder to see so it's up to you to decide whether to make use
of this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: In this first bonus level you get to play as Mr. Blonde. The level
takes place somewhere between "Deep Sea" and "Attack Ship" and shows how
the Skedar captured Cassandra whom you meet up with in the last mentioned
level. Being a Skedar means that we start out with a Mauler, a Cloaking
device & BombSpy. "dataDyne action" will be playing for the background
music in this level.
You start out at the foyer entrance and you'd better take care in here as
this section is completely filled with female dataDyne guards. Collect the
CMPs from behind the receptionist desk (they're still here) run around the
left corner and when you get near the end activate your cloaking device
immediately. Only do this here as you want to conserve as much cloak time
for later on!
A: Can skip planting a bomb, so read on below.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Plant an explosive device in the lift
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Once you're cloaked run up into the secret elevator area where you
exited the first level. While going there select the Skedar Bomb from your
inventory and Mr. Blonde will automatically place it in the lift, once you
enter it.
This sets off a timer for 3:00, but you should only be needing ~1:30 at
all. This is a very short level.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Continue being cloaked and enter the right elevator (from the
staircase's perspective) and ride along to the top. As soon as you see a
solid wall on your left side. Uncloak right now, you should have 10~15
seconds worth of cloaking time left over.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Eliminate dataDyne Captain
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Once you go up the elevator the captain will spawn into the other
elevator and comes in after you. You could fight her upstairs, but that
could get messy.
Instead, before enter the elevator yourself deploy the BombSpy near the
left elevator. Then just after uncloaking, take control over the BombSpy
and wait until you see the captain appear spontaneously. Press 'Z' to self-
destruct blowing up the captain for you! This is by far the easiest way to
dispose of her.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Before reaching the bottom office floor make sure to walk into the
doorway as much as possible. If you do this none of the guards on the
higher levels will notice you! Failing to do so can alert guards on the
higher office floors as they can see you. They can't see directly below
them so staying as close to the door will ensure you not being detected.
Get outside and there should be no one on this floor to bother you. Enter
the staircase place through the door on the left, go up the stairs and kill
the single dataDyne shock trooper in here. Stand in front of the door, wait
a moment, cloak, open the door and enter the elevator that just came up
(holding a dead dD captain and dual Falcon-2). Close the door and go up to
the top floor.
Your cloak time will be nearly depleted so make sure to run into the
elevator's doorway to prevent the guards on the other levels detecting you.
At the top there's a lone dataDyne trooper facing away from you. A single
charged Mauler shot will do him in!
Mr. Blonde is now near Cass' office, so you could go in for her right now.
You may want to clear out the area up to the rooftop helipad. There are
only two guards up there, but these are carrying N-bombs! If they chuck one
into the arena either you or Cass might get badly injured. Cassandra should
not be incapacitated, unfortunately.., or she cannot be brought to Skedar
justice, thus you'd better go up stairs alone first. There are also some
cameras here in the same location as the first level, mind you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Locate and escort de Vries to Helipad
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: With the last area cleared return to the top office floor and head
over to Cass' room. If you have any second worth of cloaking left use it
here. There be two reasons for it:
1. When walking over the ramp to her office guards on the lower floors
won't be able to notice you.
2. Cassandra starts shooting at you with a Falcon-2 as soon as she
sees you. Thus keep cloaked when entering the room.
Uncloak, run towards her, select the "Disarm" command and punch her once.
Don't punch when being cloaked as it will count as surprise attack which
knocks her out!
She'll drop the gun and listens to what Mr. Blonde has to say. All that's
left is walking to the helipad making sure the silly witch doesn't get
stuck along the way. This part can be a bit tedious as the AI has some
difficulty with finding the path to the level end. On your way out the
guards may notice you on the lower floors, but they should never be able to
catch up. It's only a single run to the level exit. As soon as Cassandra
reaches the helipad herself the level finishes.

Kill the guard in the left circular containment lab.
Oddly enough, collecting both guns only yields a

Cheese : See Area 51 - Rescue
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: This level takes place right after the Maian craft was shot in Nevada
and before Joanna finishes her task in the G5 Building. You play as Elvis
the Maian in the Area 51 - Rescue environment and need to send the distress
signal to the Carrington Institute so they can help him out. Appropriately,
the "Maian Tears" song is playing as BGM in here.
This bonus seems very hard at first hand. You start out with nothing, and
because of all the trauma Elvis went through there is only 50% health from
to begin with and no shields. On the other hand this level is not that bad
if you go through it on a slow pace with a stealthy strategy. I've found
one which works wonders for this level. Here goes!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Once you gain control of Elvis walk up to the lab technician who is facing
a transparent computer console. Make him startle, disarm the Falcon-2 he
pulls, and punch some more for a KO. He might drop a second piece, which is
only good as you get additional ammo. By the time he falls down another Lab
tech from the rear entrance comes in. Again, run around him, disarm the
Falcon-2 he pulls and go for a knock-out. You should have anything at least
20 bullets by now.
Pick up the super secret Psychosis gun from the table and read its
description to understand what it does. This gun can fire darts that warps
the perceived reality of the target. In simple English hitting your enemies
with it turns them into your buddies! You only get 1 shot, but there are 3
more Psychosis serum shots to be found later on so keep hold of it for now.
You'll notice that the only door leading out is locked... To solve this
puzzle, move the hover stretcher against the glass and make it explode
using 5 pistol shots from the Falcon-2. This allows you to escape from your
confined room.
Walk up to the grey double door, disarm the Dragon from the guard, knock
him out, and place a proxy Dragon in this small chamber. Quickly back up
and close the door in front of you. The 3 guards in the larger corridor
behind will come running up to this place and die in the explosion. Once
you hear the "boom" enter the place and collect 3 more Dragons lying
abound. The rest of the room is empty so make your way to the long
corridor.
A guard might be patrolling here so first check out the left part of the
corridor. Kill him with the Dragon, and turn around, now go over to the
right section. Set the Dragon to proximity self-destruct and throw it into
the center of the junction. Shoot either guard on the left/right side to
make the other come for you. One of them trips over the proxy mine and the
two go flying through the room! But wait, a blue overall will also spawn in
the center out of nowhere and die. o_O This is one of the three guards whom
will sneak up on you when the alarms go off later on; you've eliminated 1
threat here and got extra ammo. Woohoo!
The circular containment lab on both sides contain 2 guards. I usually
don't bother with the right lab, but the left contains the particular guard
who is holding dual Dy357-LXs. Many people say you should use the Psychosis
ammo on him. He'll become a personal bodyguard, but from experience I don't
think he's that useful for the following reasons:
1. He dies fairly quick because he doesn't do anything about
self-preservation.
2. You can't command this buddy; the guard goes attacking other enemies
in a very aggressive manner. This means that entire groups will get
alerted and you have to deal with those yourself!
3. There are other (better) uses for the Psychosis ammo as we'll
see later on.
I rather like to collect his guns for the single bullet, because the PA
objective this one bullet can make things much easier for you later on. But
you want to do this objective on A/SA as well as it helps you a great deal
(see the PA objective). So collect 1 of the dropped Dragons, set it to
proximity mine, enter the left area, chuck it against the door in the back,
and now quickly open the door to show your face to the Dy357-LX guard.
Close the door again and back off to a safer place collecting another
Dragon in the process (don't worry, the proxy Dragon will arm itself only
after ~3 seconds). The Golden magnum goon will try to open the door and
trips over the proxy Dragon killing him and possibly his other companion in
that room. Collect the guns and preserve that 1 Magnum bullet for later on!
A: Return to the long corridor where you came from. The neighboring
research lab contains the SA/PA objective, so Agents can continue up along
the path. Although, they might want to do this objective to get 2 more
Psychosis ammo shots!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Sabotage enemy medical experiment
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: This is easiest to do without a psychosis buddy. Open the doorway,
crouch and take one step forward. You'll notice a guard sitting behind a
desk facing towards you. Oddly enough, I observed that this guy still
doesn't see you. Go for a manually aimed headshot in order to _not_ alert
the other 3 guards in this room.
Step forward along the right, until you can see the second guard to the
left. He's also sitting, but facing away. Carefully aim for the head and
kill him with another headshot. Stay crouched when walking forward to find
another guard on the left in the back. Again, a single headshot is the best
way to go. Nudge around the back wall panel on the right, until you can
barely make out the torso/head of the guard sitting here. Shoot him when
you get a clear view. This clears the room so now you can collect 4 Dragons
for their ammo. Considering you used single head shots your magazine should
become much more leisurely now.
Open the door in the back to find lab dissection chamber. Use the Dragon to
shoot the stretcher contains Elvis' protégée to blow him up and prevent the
humans from continuing their research on your kind. The two lab techs will
die in the blast leaving behind 2 Tranquilizer and 2 Psychosis darts on the
floor. Collect them to watch the Psychosis gun reload animation if you
like. XD
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Back in the main corridor ascend the ramp and enter the left room.
Inside place a proximity Dragon mine near the center and blow it up using a
Tranquilizer dart (or some other ammo you can afford to waste) to kill the
a blue overalls guy. That's two down! He leaves behind another Dragon for
you to collect. Exit the room and go down the ramp to the right.
At the junction there are two more guards. Place another proximity Dragon
in the center and attract them by shooting them / running around. They'll
die over the proxy mine and you get two more Dragons. The left room is
empty, but the one on the right contains a drone gun, 2 consoles a guard
and a lab technician. If you like a 4th Psychosis ammo dart do the
following:
-Walk up to the right door and hug the right wall.
-The drone gun won't fire at you from that position, unless you attack it
-Open the door and quickly aim for the console in the center.
-Blow it up to make both lab tech / guard die in the process.
-Destroy the drone gun using manual aim.
-Enter the room to collect the goodies.
Continue along the path leading to the huge hall. Like the original Rescue
level some guards will fall down the railing in an attempt to attack you.
Just shoot them as they run towards you, there's not much to it. Don't run
into the room blatantly yourself. Let them come out, not the other way.
Take care of the guard near the top right door as he tends to sniper you.
Once you cleared them all enter the place to find a fourth guard near the
doorway on the left. Run around him to evade all his shots as you shoot
back. You could continue along this passage here, but if you want to clear
all blue overalls there is something you still need to do.
Optional/All: Enter the air duct like on PA Rescue, fall down the dressing
room, run around the place to the locker room on the other side. Turn
around to look at the passage you came through and throw a proxy Dragon in
the corner. Shoot it with the tranquilizer to make a 3rd blue overall spawn
out of nowhere and die in the explosion. Doing so clears the threat later
on, and you can collect his Dragon for some more ammo. Return to the area
where we left off.
Continue along the path killing one or two more guards as you go along the
way. At some point you'll get close to the large warehouse where you start
in the Rescue level. The alarm will go off, and usually the 3 blue overalls
will come after you right now. But because you killed them already they
won't.~ Follow the corridor to the far right to find another lone guard,
but he won't bother you if you don't make any noise.
Now you are expected to drop down the small gap in the wall and make it
through the large warehouse. This is almost like suicide! Fortunately,
there is a non-lethal way of doing this. The section to the left of the
wall gap has some grating you can look through. Use this to observe the
activity in the warehouse. If you see a guard wandering off to the right
you can attempt to shoot him with the Psychosis gun so he in turn shoots
the guards around here. To keep it safe, make sure you keep 1 shot to
yourself for later on.
Take note that the Psychosis serum requires a few seconds to kick in, thus
your new buddy might get killed by his former fellows when he defects.
Therefore, only shoot when no other guards are nearby. Otherwise or if you
only have one Psychosis shot left, use the Dragon to wreck havoc in the
warehouse. This is actually not a bad idea at all. Even if you miss, the
guards will try to enter the slow elevator to get up to the higher ledge,
but this makes them easy prey for you (they can't shoot through the grating
you're hiding behind). In all, with a little patience you can clear the
warehouse from a safe hiding point.
When you think all is clear, fall down into the warehouse section yourself.
Enter the elevator, get up on the higher ledge, kill the guard in front of
the door from a distance and turn around to find a second stationary guard
to the left of the elevator. With these guys gone you can safely approach
the door to the hangar.
A/SA: You could skip the following section and run through it all to get to
the end, but might want to do this too as the following section has many
guards. Completing the PA in the proposed manner will take care of them all
with relative ease. Btw. There's another blue overalls hiding on the ledge
next to the elevator on the upper floor. Again, explosives will make him
pop up.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Destroy captured Maian craft
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: The Maian craft requires roughly 50 Dragon bullets to destroy which is
an awful lot. This is where the 1-shot Dy357-LX comes into play; it can
destroy the UFO in a single blow.
As soon as you open the door to the hangar there will be a guard facing
away from you. I prefer to Psychosis gun this guy with the last remaining
dart as he can take act as a shield, while you go for the Maian Saucer.
Once you disable/infect the guard switch over to the Dy357-LX, sidestep
along the back wall into the right corner. This should give you a clear
view at the Maian saucer in the back. Now aim and make sure the bullet
connects with the craft.
If it does it'll kill 4-7 guards roaming around here in the giant explosion
it causes clearing out most of the room. Otherwise you have to empty two
complete Dragon magazines into the craft to achieve the same effect (and
this will surely lure those guards out...). The Psyched buddy is there for
cover as the enemies will pick him, while you target for the distant craft.
Humans are good for cannon fodder, Elvis must think by now. XD
Anyway, after the big explosion, change back to the Dragon and look for
other guards. Your buddy might survive this part so have him walk along as
you head up the ledge towards the elevator. There might be a single guard
still around, but 2-on-1 should give you an advantage.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Send distress signal to allies
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: Get inside the elevator with or without a buddy, reload the Dragon and
shoot the guard directly facing you when the doors open. Collect his gun,
go through the double door and look over to the right to find two more
guards in the distance. Kill the left one first and the right will run
towards you. As he runs in your line-of-fire nail him down.
Only one more room to go! Approach the next double doors and shoot the
Dragon wielding guards when it opens. Close the door, reload and reopen to
take both of them out. For the last stretch blow away one of the beige wall
panels (preferably the one in the back). Look around the corner to find two
lab techs with Tranquilizers. Shoot them down and the road is cleared to
the console in the center. Press 'B' when standing near it to contact
Carrington Institute. Mission completed, help is on the way! Unfortunately
for Elvis he gets captured in the cut scene directly following it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shield : -
Secret Weapon : -
Cheese : See Skedar Ruins - Battle Ruins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All: This level is in opinion of most people by far the hardest single
player mission in the game. It's more like you complete it without a
scratch or you won't. Physical attacks by the Skedar instantaneously kill
you, so getting close up to a Skedar results Game Over most of the time.
Speed is the key to beating the level as an endless supply these aliens
will spawn from everywhere. The slower you play the more Skedar will spawn
and the slimmer your chance of success becomes.
You start out with four Maian protector buddies whom aid you in your quest.
One of them stays behind and joins in 1 minute later after the others.
They'll be helpful in stopping and killing Skedar for you, but don't expect
them to win the level for you. They are supporting characters, you need to
clear the stronger Skedar kings for them as they get killed by them too
easily! The preferred attack in here is a charged up Mauler as it instantly
kills a Skedar Warrior / King when shot through the head. If you hit the
body a following non-charged shot will do them in as well.
Before attempting to clear this thing on PA I recommend you practice the
level with invincibility beforehand. You really need to know where the
Skedar appear, how to strafe run most efficiently through the corridors and
know all the tidbits I'll explain below. If you make use of all these
details; you just might make it through to the end.
Different from the previous levels the level ends as soon as you complete
the required objective(s). Thus this makes it possible for me to write the
entire walkthrough in one go.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Kill Skedar king
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All: It doesn't matter at which moment during the cut scene you start.
Start strafe running, along the path, through the breached wall section and
over the bridge.
You should meet up with your first Skedar right about here. He should pop
up from behind the corner, so start shooting some Phoenix explosives in the
wall to inflict enough damage to kill him. Collect the Mauler and switch to
that as you continue to strafe run past the other 3 Skedar in this
corridor. Only kill them if they are directly in your way, you have no
second to lose. Your buddies will clear these goons up for you. Shooting a
bit will weaken them, thus making it easier for them, but speed is top
priority here!
Go through the left door, a Skedar should be directly behind it, a single
charged up Mauler shot should take him down. Ignore collecting his gun, and
strafe run around the corner. If you are quick enough you should make it
past the next corner without seeing a single Skedar. Behind the second
corner there are two; kill them quickly and hug the right wall. Look a
little to the left as you come into sight of the first Skedar king wielding
a Reaper.
Let the Mauler charge up, show yourself and go for a headshot. Take note
that the Skedar spawn point is just directly to the right of you; so if you
look a bit to the right, while hugging the wall no Skedar Warriors can
spawn! Otherwise you'll be attacked by 3 or 4 Skedar Warriors that appear
out of nowhere. If you miss you can try to back up and charge a second
shot, but if you fail that too, you might better restart...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A: you're done now!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Kill Skedar king 2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA/PA: Return to the door you entered this room, and head up the ramp. Your
buddies should be catching up with you and your group can proceed through
the upper ledge.
As soon as the door opens (it may not budge, and open a just a bit) look
through the gap and shoot any Skedar on sight. There are 2 directly
attacking you and another near the end. Once they are gone, run through the
door and around the two corners. If you are swift no other Skedar will
appear here, if slower more Skedar must be faced.
As you approach the last double door near the Skedar army pods in the
regular mission listen for any growling sounds while opening the door.
Again, if you were fast enough no Skedar will spawn here and you can go
directly for the second Skedar King. Otherwise back up a little and shoot
charged shots through the door.
In any case the King is hiding behind the pillar and is not very
aggressive. It's sits there most of the time doing nothing. However, when
you see him move it means either a Slayer rocket will be fired or Skedar
Warriors will be spawned so be wary. Kill the king with a well-aimed
charged-up Mauler headshot for an easy victory.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SA: you're done now!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Objective: Kill Skedar king 3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PA: Probably the most intense moment, very hard but also short, in the
game. Quickly make your way to the altar chamber. Sometimes no Skedar will
spawn behind this door, but this happens only rarely. If they do there are
going to be 4 of them trying to make their way through to you. You do have
some Slayer rockets from the previous King use those, but take care not to
get caught in the explosion yourself. Unfortunately, I can't think of a
better way to do this, the Mauler / Phoenix is too slow to take them all
out before they can backfire at you...
Just make sure whatever you do is quick, otherwise the next batch of Skedar
Warriors will be spawned to replace them, which is awful. Enter the altar
room switch with either Slayer / Phoenix (explosive shell) / Mauler
(Charged up) to kill the leader in one go. The explosives will make the
Skedar King's rockets blow up in his face causing an instant kill as well,
that's why the Phoenix is an viable option here too!

you may think...

SA/PA: Jonny boy has a trick up his sleeve, he'll sneak up on you from
behind the wall section to the left. Thus instead of just turning around,
walk around the panel and attack Jonathan in the back himself! Collect the
Dy357 if you like.

PA: Trent has very quick reflexes, which are hard to outperform if you play
it the normal way. His accuracy is 100% perfect so you don't get a second
chance on him.
Instead of turning around, run behind the wall panel and briefly sidestep
into view to draw his attack out. Quickly hide again, and just after he
shot there is a small window for you to aim and shoot him down, while Trent
is incapable of reacting. Use this small window to get him.

There are many weapons in this game that require their own special type of
ammunition that isn't commonly shared between a group of weapons. Examples
of these are the Rocket Launcher, FarSight, Mines, Crossbow and Reaper.
Since applications vary widely you just have to make the best of it and not
worry about the numbers too much.

It can put a lot of bullets out in a short time, however,
and is an excellent suppression weapon because of it.
Menu crawl : Designed for use by bodyguards, the Cyclone has been
adopted by Presidential Security due to its excellent
capability when used for suppression. In extreme
circumstances, it can more than double the fire rate,
discharging the magazine in a second. Average fire rate:
900 rpm. Unloads at 2000 rpm.

Callisto NTG
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Maian
Primary mode : Rapid fire
Secondary mode : High-impact shells
Ammo Type : Assault Rifle
Magazine : 32 / 800
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : Maian flexibility in design has produced this submachine
gun with an interesting secondary mode - a high-velocity
bullet that can penetrate objects easily. The fire rate,
as with the Phoenix, is reduced during the secondary mode;
this is to prevent damage to the firing mechanism and
barrel.
Menu crawl : Another example of excellent Maian firearm design. It can
fire standard shots as fast as any other SMG, or it can
fire high velocity rounds which will easily penetrate
objects to find targets hiding in cover. The only
drawbacks with the secondary fire mode are that the fire
rate is lower and the accuracy suffers from the power of
the shot. Average fire rate: 900 rpm (s/f:300 rpm).
Counterpart : -
RC-P120
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Chesluk Industries (CI Foster's creation)
Primary mode : Rapid fire
Secondary mode : Cloak
Ammo Type : SMG
Magazine : 120 / 800
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : The RC-P120 fires a special mineral bullet that,
coupled with a high fire rate and a huge magazine,
makes this a perfect tool to be used against the Skedar,
should the need arise. The bullets can be used to fuel
a prototype Cloaking Device - the training has been
altered to reflect this particular characteristic.
Menu crawl : The Carrington Institute secret weapon. It fires at a
phenomenal rate and has a huge magazine capacity. The
secondary mode is a cloaking device that runs off the
ammunition in the magazine. A devastating weapon.
Average fire rate: 1100 rpm.
Counterpart : FN-P90
Laptop Gun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Carrington Institute
Primary mode : Burst fire
Secondary mode : Deploy as sentry gun
Ammo Type : SMG
Magazine : 50 / 800
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : ?.0x
Training info : Not only can the gun fold up to resemble a laptop PC,
but it can be deployed as a sentry gun in secondary
mode to cover an escape route or to protect a location.
Menu crawl : A submachine gun made to look like a laptop PC. In
disguised form, the gun cannot fire, but when activated,
it unfolds into shape. The PC gun will not bear close
inspection: it will boot up, but the memory is a quarter
of what it is supposed to be. Average fire rate:
1000 RPM.
Counterpart : There are some experimental models, but not too useful
for real applications...
Dragon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : dataDyne
Primary mode : Rapid fire
Secondary mode : Proximity self destruct
Ammo Type : Assault Rifle
Magazine : 30 / 400
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 2.0x
Training info : This is the model that dataDyne successfully submitted
to the U.S. military, though it has yet to be widely
adopted. In keeping with the tendency of dataDyne to
give people nasty surprises, the basic model assault
rifle carries a proximity mine below the barrel. Using
the secondary mode rather obviously means you have to
throw the weapon away.
Menu crawl : A standard assault rifle* with an evil twist - when
the secondary mode is activated, it becomes a
proximity-activated mine that looks like a gun.
Average fire rate: 700 RPM.
Counterpart : G36 Assault Rifle(?), M4A1 and the M203
K7 Avenger
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primary mode : Burst fire
Secondary mode : Treat detector
Ammo Type : Assault Rifle
Magazine : 25 / 400
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 3.0x
Training info : As far as we can ascertain, the secondary mode of the
weapon seems to be a threat identifier, targeting
mines, hidden explosive devices (such as the Dragon
in secondary mode), and automatic guns. Though a
powerful gun, the assault rifle's magazine is perhaps
too small.
Menu crawl : Another piece of high-tech kit from dataDyne.
Ordinarily an assault rifle with a smallish magazine
and a powerful punch, it has a threat detection mode
that highlights explosives, wall guns, and similar
hazards. Average fire rate: 950 RPM.
Counterpart : M41-A Pulse Rifle
AR-34

Primary mode : Burst fire
Secondary mode : Use scope
Ammo Type : Assault Rifle
Magazine : 30 / 800
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 3.0x
Training info : The Institute's first attempt at a support weapon, the
AR34 is a fairly basic assault rifle. The secondary mode
is a permanent zoom. Testing is weighted towards accuracy
training.
Menu crawl : The Carrington Institute's main assault rifle. A good
range and magazine size make it a useful weapon; the
secondary mode enables the user to move while zoomed in
on a target. Average fire rate: 750 rpm.
Counterpart : ?

Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 3.0x
Training info : The heavier variant of the Dragon, with the proximity
mine removed and replaced by a small grenade launcher.
Adopted by the U.S. military as a squad heavy support
weapon - it is not hard to see why. Use the tests to
get used to the grenade trajectory.
Menu crawl : A variant of the Dragon Assault Rifle - instead of
a proximity explosive, it has a small grenade launcher.
Excellent support weapon. Average fire rate: 700 RPM.
Counterpart : See Dragon
Shotgun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primary mode : Shotgun fire
Secondary mode : double blast
Ammo Type : Shotgun shells
Magazine : 9 / 100
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : Subtlety is not an option here. There are two modes,
single or double blast. The magazine is quite large for
a shotgun, but be aware of the long reload times and
plan your movements accordingly.
Menu crawl : A dataDyne weapon manufactured for security forces. A
nine-cartridge magazine combined with single or double
fire modes make it a dangerous close-quarters weapon.
Counterpart : Rather generic if you ask me...
Reaper
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Skedar
Primary mode : Reapage
Secondary mode : Grinder
Ammo Type : Reaper ammo
Magazine : 200 / 800
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : Try to control this weapon as best you can. It was
designed for a far stronger user than a human, that much
is certain. Kneeling down may help steady your aim, but
not refine it. If any opponents do make it past the hail
of fire, then the barrels can be used as a grinder to
inflict damage.
Menu crawl : A truly terrifying weapon in the hands of someone strong
enough to control the massive recoil; for anyone else, a
highly unwieldy but effective corridor clearance weapon.
Maximum fire rate: 1800 rpm.
Counterpart : -
Sniper Rifle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Carrington
Primary mode : Single shot
Secondary mode : Crouch (results in perfect manual aim)
Ammo Type : Assault Rifle ammo
Magazine : 8 / 400
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0 - 30.0x
Training info : A finely engineered, silenced sniper rifle with a
high-powered zoom. The only part of the operation that
can interfere with the accuracy of the weapon is the
sniper. Make sure you use the secondary mode to crouch
down and steady your aim.
Menu crawl : With a powerful zoom and a high velocity bullet,
this Carrington Institute weapon is one of the best
sniper rifles ever made. Crouch down for perfect
accuracy.
Counterpart : An upgrade from Goldeneye's Sniper rifle
FarSight XR-20
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primary mode : Rail gun effect
Secondary mode : Target locator
Ammo Type : 8 /100
Magazine : FarSight orbs (oddly, pistol ammo won't work here)
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : variable(?)
Training info :
Menu crawl : The FarSight rifle is a Maian hybrid of an X-ray scanning
device coupled with a rifle that can shoot through solid
objects. The scope can lock onto and track life sources,
though the device does not pan as fast as a running enemy
can move.
Counterpart : -
Devastator
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : dataDyne
Primary mode : Grenade launcher
Secondary mode : Wall hugger
Ammo Type : Grenade rounds
Magazine : 8 / 40
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : A recent dataDyne product, with interesting technology
inside it. The secondary mode activates a magnetic field
around the bomb, providing adhesion for a limited amount
of time. When a certain amount of time has passed, the
field is reversed and the bomb falls from the impact
point and explodes.
Menu crawl : A long range grenade delivery system manufactured by
dataDyne. The secondary fire mode coats the grenade
with a sticky substance: when fired, the bomb attaches
itself to wall or ceiling. After a few seconds, it
detaches to fall to the ground, where it detonates.
Counterpart : Looks a little similar to a beefed-up sten gun.
Rocket Launcher
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : dataDyne
Primary mode : Rocket launch
Secondary mode : Targeted rocket
Ammo Type : Rockets
Magazine : 1 / 3
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : A compact, reusable missile launcher - reloads after
each shot. The secondary mode uses a variant of the
lock-on system from the CMP150 submachine gun, with a
single designated target. The missle travels at a
slower speed as it tracks the target, so plan for this
and time your shots carefully.
Menu crawl : A cumbersome weapon. Fires either a standard rocket
or a slower, homing rocket when locked on to the
unfortunate target.
Counterpart : -

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company : Skedar
Primary mode :
Secondary mode : Fly-by-wire rocket
Ammo Type : Rockets
Magazine : 1 / 3
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : This Skedar handheld missile launcher can fire either an
unguided rocket or a user-controlled remote rocket.
Presumably this gave the Skedar some perverse satisfaction
when the warhead camera closed on the target, but a
Carrington Institute agent is beyond such things. The
guided rocket speeds up automatically, but can be slowed
down for greater maneuverability. Detonation occurs on
contact or when the trigger is pressed.
Menu crawl : The Skedar enjoy seeing the terror of their enemies. It
seems natural that they should have a remote-controlled
rocket as a secondary fire mode on their basic rocket
launcher, so that they can take pleasure from the prey's
vain attempts to escape the closing projectile.

Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : A finely tempered fighting knife, which is also balanced
for throwing. Practice is essential to get accustomed to
the range and trajectory of the thrown blade.
Menu crawl : A large and vicious combat knife. It contains a vial of
poison that shatters when thrown, giving a wounded enemy
at most 6 seconds to live. A dataDyne weapon through and

Counterpart : Kitchen knife
Crossbow
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company :
Primary mode : Sedate
Secondary mode : Instant kill
Ammo Type : Bolts
Magazine : 5 / 69
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : The primary function of the crossbow is a nonlethal
drugged shot, while the secondary is an instant kill.
It is a stealth weapon first and foremost, so the
reloading can be time-consuming and inconvenient in a
firefight.
Menu crawl : This crossbow is a short-ranged 'pistol' sized
example, mounted on a Carrington Institute agent's
wrist. It folds up to aid concealment and can fire up
to five bolts, either the more usual drugged shots, or
a lethal bolt.
Counterpart : Crossbow

Company :
Primary mode : Sedate
Secondary mode : Instant kill
Ammo Type : Sedatives
Magazine : 8 / 200
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : ? [s]
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : The tranquilizer is a common design, found in many medical
laboratories and hospitals worldwide. It can be switched
from the tranquilizer pellets to a short-range lethal dose
which uses up a lot more of the reservoir of sedative.
Menu crawl : A rapid-fire device, it can be used as a weapon in an
emergency, but is designed primarily as a dermal spray
injector for sedative drugs. Users are advised that a
full discharge of the drug reservoir can be fatal.
Counterpart : Medical injector
Laser
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company :
Primary mode : Pulse fire
Secondary mode : Constant stream
Ammo Type : n/a
Magazine : n/a
Fire rate : ? [s]
Reload rate : n/a
Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : The experimental weapons department has come up with a
small but effective wrist-mounted laser with two beam
settings. The primary mode fires a blast out to a
considerable range, while the secondary mode provides a
continual beam for as long as the trigger is pressed.
Menu crawl : The laser is wrist-mounted and deadly accurate. It can
either fire long-range pulses, or it can sustain a
constant, concentrated stream of energy at short range.
Counterpart : Laser gun

Zoom rate : 1.0x
Training info : The fragmentation anti-personnel grenade has four
seconds from activation to detonation on the basic
fuse. For your entertainment and delight, we have
included a secondary mode - proximity pinball. The
grenade will bounce around until the charge wears off
or the proximity detector is triggered.
Menu crawl : An updated version of the trusty grenade. Can be
thrown with a four-second fuse or used as a bouncing
proximity bomb.

Training info : A degree of judgement is required for the effective use
of timed mines, otherwise the intended target may overrun
the explosion range and come after you. Hone your skills
in the tests before you make a critical error in the
field. The secondary function is a threat detector
identical to that found on the K7 Avenger assault rifle.
Menu crawl : A mine with a short timed fuse. It has a threat
detection/evaluation sensor that can be activated as
a secondary mode.

Training info : The key to successful placement of proximity mines is
to put them where your opponent doesn't expect to
encounter them. If you find yourself on the receiving
end of proximity mines use the threat detector
secondary mode to make sure of your surroundings.
It may be wasting time, but if it isn't, it could

Training info : The latest variety of remote detonated mines, essentially
the same as all that have gone before. The primary mode
is placing the mines, while the secondary mode is giving
the detonation command. If you can't see the mine, you'll
have to rely on old-fashioned guesswork and timing.

a return to visibility.
Night vision goggles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ability : Allows you to see in the dark, in black/green

visible light to produce a clearer picture of the
surrounding environment. Uses a target-movement
algorithm to highlight possible threats.
Infra-red goggles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ability : Allows you to see cloaked guards by detecting heat

Menu crawl : This scope uses infra-red scanning modulated with
ultrasonic data to provide not only a clearer picture of
the surrounding area, but also a location of any
structural irregularities. It can also locate enemies
using cloaking technology or other optical baffles.

Appendix B: Carrington Institute
===========================================================================
There are three main training areas in the Carrington Institute. These are
mostly meant as a tutorial to get into the game. The firing range is the
real interesting section as you can unlock a bonus level + classic weapon
cheats by getting the golds there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simulant Training
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The training in the simulant room teaches you the very basic skills and
mechanics which are important in this game. The first 5 or so are really a
merit, but the latter three or so can teach you some new aspects. Also the
last test here is actually deviously hard! You can beat it properly, but
it's also possible to cheat at it.
Holo 1 - Looking Around
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
First look at the 2 consoles on the ceiling, one up the high wall against
the ceiling and one of the floor (use C-Up / C-down to pivot your view).
Then press "B" in front of the 4 consoles aligned in a row.
Holo 2 - Movement 1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use C-Right / C-Left to strafe into horizontal direction so you can
activate all four consoles right away.
Holo 3 - Movement 2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use single and double crouching to reach each one of the 2 consoles behind
the laser grids.
Holo 4 - Unarmed Combat 1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just punch out 3 consecutive guards to know how the punch attack works. The
first one is completely stationary, the second will run around a bit, and
the third attacks back, but his reactions are very poor. So with a few hits
you'll beat it in a single swipe.
Holo 5 - Unarmed Combat 2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Make sure you are using secondary fire mode to disarm the first guard. The
second guard is invincible while he can see you. Thus wait behind the wall
section until you hear his footsteps. Sneak up from behind at him to knock
him out in a single hit. This last tactic can be very vital in some later
on mission.
The third guard is pretty hard. Again hide behind the wall and quickly side
step in to view and back to bluff him into shooting you. Once he commits
himself to the shot he'll be open for a second or two for your attacks. So
after the shot missed punch him several times to take him down.
Holo 6 - Live Combat 1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just go for each guard individually running circles around them. Hit them
when you get the chance to knock them out. Rinse and repeat 4 times to
complete the training.
Holo 7 - Live Combat 2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This last one is rather hard actually. Quickly hide behind the wall (as
usual). Draw out the unarmed guards on the right side of the wall first
towards you. Knock them out to clear that part.
Now for the 3 stationary ones to the left. Bluff the closest one out into
shooting you by sidestepping, but be really quick as their accuracy is
really quite high. Once he's still working on the recoil go for the first
one, disarm his gun, collect and run back behind the wall (and pray the
other two miss you). This time round you can fire back at them, so fake the
side step once again, and hit them with your freshly collected Falcon-2.
If you want to complete this last training, but can't seem to get it right.
Start it again, punch out any armed guard (don't mind getting hit) and
press "A" when the training almost stops so Jo starts pulling out the
Falcon-2. If you time it right you'll start with the Falcon the next time
if you restart the test straight away. Now it should be a 10-fold easier to
beat the crap out of all 5 of them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device Lab
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 10 training exercises to be completed in the device laboratory.
The training is built up in such a way that you progress through the
training area further with each completed test. You don't get anything for
beating them other than knowledge about some of the gadgets you'll be using
during the game and getting to scare the hell out of Daniel whom awaits you
at the end of the last trial (or alternatively getting a punch at him ;)).
1. Data Uplink
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just walk up to the table, get the device, select it with the analogue
stick while holding the "A" button. Walk up the to PC with while holding
the uplink device and press "B" to gain access to the PC and complete the
uplink.
2. ECM Mine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Walk through the opened doorway, while collecting the mine from the table,
and chuck the ECM mine through the porthole on the distant screen. Use
manual aim and take note of the slight arc in which Jo throws the device.
3. CamSpy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Crouch walk through the metallic corridor to reach the info room. Deploy
the CamSpy and use to hover/rotate around to get a view of the monitor and
press "Z" to take a picture.
4. Night Vision Goggles
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Enter the dark corridors first, equip the goggles just now (via the
quick/pause menu) and look around for a green box. To activate the light
switch.
5. Door Decoder
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just as much the same as the ECM mine. Plant it onto the console next to
the locked door just after where you ditched the said mine and presto.
6. R-Tracker
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Activate the R-Tracker and go to where X-marks-the-spot.
7. IR-Scanner
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Near the dead end equip the IR-scanner near the corridor with a reddish
glow to it to see a light red panel. Press "B" while wearing the scanner to
unlock the doorway.
8. X-Ray scanner
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After the IR-scanner passage equip the X-ray device to see through the
walls. Not only can you see through them, but you can also activate the
consoles on either side behind them using this technology... This knowledge
might come in handy for the Pelagic II.
9. Disguise
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Immediately don the disguise by selecting it from the menu and run to
Grimshaw at the other end of the long corridors section. Stand in front of
him to get the Cloaking Device item from him.
10. Cloaking Device
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This baby only has 40 seconds of 'fuel/capacity' whatever you like to call
it. So make your way through the corridors, until you get close to the
security camera near Daniel's room. Because we don't want him to notice you
activate the device just now, then run by the camera and in Daniel's face.
Show yourself either by deactivating it or punching him (attacking will
decloak!). That's all there is to it, had any fun..?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firing Range
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The firing range consists of three tests (bronze, silver and gold) for each
of the 31 available weapons, bar the Psychosis gun and classic guns. The
targets consider of a center and two rings around them. Hitting the brown
edges also gives you a score but only very little:
Yellow - Bull's eye: 10 points
Red - Inner Ring: 5 points
Blue - Outer Ring: 2 points
Other - Outside : 1 point
Explosives always get 10 points if they connect with the target so they're
always dead on.
-The bronze test basically is super easy where you just use the weapon in
primary fire mode.
-The Silver is usually to test the secondary fire mode, if that is possible
in the firing range. Otherwise it's just about the same as the bronze.
-The golden test is the real qualification of your abilities (sometimes
combining usage of primary / secondary fire mode). Some of them are mildly
easy, but there are a few really hard ones that tolerate little to no
mistake on your hand.
Because bronze and silver are hardly worth a strategy I'll only focus on
the golden ones. It's also possible to cheat a bit using the Laptop Gun and
Dragon by deploying them in secondary fire mode. If you do this while Jo is
still in the animation of removing the gun from first person view you can
quickly switch to another test. If you do it correctly the Laptop gun
sentry or Proximity Dragon mine will be deployed the moment you enter the
new test. This benefit you a lot in some occasions, but it won't always
help you (for example with the Dy357-LX gold challenge).

Strategies (Gold)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following section gives some guidance and strategies for getting the
gold stars for each of the individual guns. Bronze and silver are rather
contrived so I'm not going to spend any time on them.
Falcon-2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 170
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 10s
Ammo Limit: 24
There are 3 targets to shoot at. You have 7 spare bullets for the score,
given you all hit bull's eyes. Stand on the leftmost side and hit the
target as it moves towards the back. If you're in a straight line with it
you can empty a whole magazine into it scoring a string of bull's eyes.
Repeat this two more times on the other targets, then reload and hit any
remaining targets if you still need to.
Falcon-2 (silencer)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 80
Goal Targets: 3
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: Infinite
Destroy all 3 targets making sure you hit close enough to the bull enough
times as the targets break after 12 hits. It's not that hard at all to do,
just empty your magazine while following the target from left/right by
strafing at the same speed. You can reload each iteration while the targets
are facing away from you.
Falcon-2 (scope)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 80
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 10s
Ammo Limit: 8
You need to score 8/8 bull's eyes on this one. So make sure you're dead on
target! Only shoot when the target is stationary on either side. Other than
that there's not much to it.
MagSec 4
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 80
Goal Targets: 4
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 12s
Ammo Limit: Infinite
Rather easy if you ask me, you can crouch to compensate the inaccuracy of
this gun and get more bull's eyes. Each target breaks after 3 shots, so
make sure to hit the center. Stand on either left/right side and hit the
targets as they move in toward/away from you. Aligning yourself should
allow you to get decent bull's eyes or inner rings all over.
Mauler
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: -
Goal Targets: 6
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 15s
Ammo Limit: 35
You'll need to fire the Mauler in secondary fire mode to get the targets to
break in a single hit (6 bullets) otherwise you won't make it. Thus make
sure to wait until the Mauler is completely charged with the reddish glow
before firing. You don't have any spare bullets, so you must reload
directly after hitting the 3rd target! And do so quickly as you need to hit
the following target the next time they turn around. In all hit all 6
targets with a single fully charged hit and you're done.
Phoenix
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: -
Goal Targets: 6
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: 3
You'll need to hit the targets using secondary fire mode. As they cross
each other near the center, or when they start to move so the second target
crashes into the explosion. Do this 3 times and you win.
Dy357 Magnum
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 50
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 12s
Ammo Limit: 5
You don't need to worry about the slow reload of this gun for this test.
The key to beating this one easily is aligned yourself with a column of
three targets. Then shoot them when they're all turned around to shatter
them all (the bullets penetrate through objects). This allows you to get
the score with as little as 2 direct hits.
Dy357-LX
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 100
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 50s
Ammo Limit: 12
You have 2 bullets to spare on this one, but it's very hard nonetheless.
The best tip I can give you here is that you learn to preempt the magnum to
compensate its huge fire delay. Shoot the bull's eye by aiming past it when
it's turning towards you again (you need to stand a little to the inside of
the target's path). Then strafe after the target as it moves to the other
side and get ready for the next shot. Btw: you can get the first bull's eye
for free if you hit the target the moment you ready your gun!
The target shatters after 12 hits, so deploying the Laptop gun sentry cheat
won't get you the required score!
CMP-150
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 350
Goal Targets: 6
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: -
Use this gun for what it is good at; emptying the magazine in a second or
so. As with the Falcon-2 strat align yourself to either left or right
columns to get a string of bull's eyes as the target approaches you. With a
little effort you get all the targets with enough points.
Cyclone
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 400
Goal Targets: 1
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 18s
Ammo Limit: -
You could try to use the magazine discharge, but the lack of accuracy means
you'll miss most of the hits. Better use the primary fire mode and empty
the entire magazine each turn. With 3 targets to pick from it's quite easy.
Just stand in the center; aim for the stationary one in the back and
unleash. You'll rack up enough points before you know it.
Callisto NTG
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 250
Goal Targets: 2
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: -
Primary fire mode works the best here, destroying 2 targets is more
difficult on this run than getting the score down. Just switch between
either outer and center front targets continuously and you'll get the score
like nothing.
RC-P120
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: -
Goal Targets: 9
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: 180
The front three only rotate towards you while you're cloaked, and seeing
that consumes a hell of a lot bullets make sure to hit the front three
first before going for the ones in the back. So cloak, wait until the three
targets have completely flipped and then hit them all in a single go.
Reload afterwards and go for the remaining stationary ones.
Laptop Gun
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 750
Goal Targets: 2
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 15s
Ammo Limit: 250
Again, stand on either left or right side and hit the targets as they move
vertically. There's not much to it, only reload when the magazine is (near)
completely drained.
Dragon
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 500
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: 90%
Time Limit: 15s
Ammo Limit: -
Accuracy is the most important factor here. The best strategy I found was
crouching in either left/right corner and hitting the stationary rear
targets, while ignoring the ones in the front. Get a feel for the rhythm in
which they rotate so you don't waste too many bullets on missing them.
K7 Avenger
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: -
Goal Targets: 3
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 15s
Ammo Limit: 30
Three targets move only vertically so again, make sure to align yourself
with each target before firing and they all take 10 hits before they are
destroyed. This means that you need to learn to work with the rapid
discharge as you can't afford to waste a single bullet on this one.
AR34
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 500
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: 100%
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: -
Given that you need perfect accuracy only shoot when the lone target is
stationary, and reload while it moves around. You should try to empty half
a magazine at each halt so the reload happens naturally.
Super Dragon
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: -
Goal Targets: 5
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: 60 / 4
The most difficult part is hitting the four rotating targets using
grenades. With a little luck the neighboring target crashes into the
explosion as it starts to move into the explosion of the grenade. The last
remaining bullets can be used to take out 2 targets, if you connect with
all bullets, that is (giving you a little leeway).
Shotgun

Goal Score: 170

Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: 30
This is a little too easy if you ask me. Set the gun to double shot and hit
the target as it is about to move. If the hail of bullets hits the center
with two double shots you're a winner already.
Reaper
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 750
Goal Targets: 1
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: -
This is actually a bit challenging to say the least. Make sure to double
crouch for a little improvement in accuracy and don't try to reload before
running dry as you otherwise have to wait for the barrel to stop spinning.
Follow the target's center with the crosshair and you're right on track.
Sniper Rifle
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 150
Goal Targets: -
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 12s
Ammo Limit: 15
Another perfect score required for this one, and it works exactly the same
as the K7 Avenger one. Hit each target 5 times to shatter it, align and
switch to the next. Personally, I find a zoom range of ~8.50 the best as it
still allows you to effectively move the crosshair whilst keeping a good
sight on the bull's eye at all time.
FarSight XR-20
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 40
Goal Targets: 6
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 20s
Ammo Limit: 3
With 3 bullets you have to make sure you hit multiple targets per turn.
Aligning for the stationary diagonals and saving the last shot for the
moving target. To get a decent score you should aim with "R" for the center
of the most distant target for the first two shots. Doing so ensure you get
a least 1 bull's eye plus good score for the intermediate targets. It also
ensures you hit all the targets along the diagonal.
Devastator

Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: 6
Quite a hard one to pull off correctly. You need to aim about 2 cross hair
heights over the most distant targets to get a good shot at them. The
closer ones should be hit by aiming halfway down the target and the floor.
If you're a lucky the large explosion sometimes takes out the following
target in a single go, giving you a spare round for the other targets!
Rocket Launcher
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Goal Score: 40
Goal Targets: 4
Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: 4
Align with either column and time it so the rocket hits the target when
it's about to turn around. Go for the closer one first, then for the one in
the behind. Because of the reload delays you should only shoot one rocket
each time the targets cycle around the chamber (30 seconds is more than
enough for 4 cycles).
Slayer

Goal Score: 60
Goal Targets: 6
Goal Accuracy: -
Time Limit: 40s
Ammo Limit: 8
Use fly-by-wire secondary mode and detonate with "Z" when you get close to
each of the 3 pairs. If you let the rocket detonate in the center of each
set they are bound to run into the following explosion allowing you to
effectively take out two targets in a single strike.
Combat Knife

Stand on either left/right side and hit a target with manual aim for the
foremost target each cycle. That's all.

Goal Score: 150

Time Limit: 30s
Ammo Limit: -
The single auto-reload is a hell with such time constraints. Make sure to
press "B" after emptying the magazine to ensure Jo reloads the bow
completely which is much faster than individual insertions. Hit the target
when it's stationary and pivot around a bit as darts will bounce off if too
many are on the same spot.
Tranquilizer

Goal Accuracy: - (100% implied)
Time Limit: 15s
Ammo Limit: 18
Getting high scores isn't relevant here, just hit the target anywhere and
quick! With 2 needed reloads you need all the remaining time to hit each
target. Learn the pattern in which the targets appear and you can get the
gold very quick.

Ouch, getting the proper aim is the most important part of this test. The
grenades are thrown in an arc so you need to correct for that and also for
the correct timing as you can only score when the lone target is facing
you. As with other explosives involved, multiple scores are possible if the
flames connect with the next spawned target.
Timed Mine

With a single mine it's double or nothing. Throw it against the center
target and aim it so that it explodes when the target is in the center to
eliminate all 6 of them.

Just chuck around some mines in the center and throw in some more to extend
the explosion towards the front. With four mines it should be relatively
easy to get them all if you get the explosion in the right position.
Remote Mine

Throw a mine against the center target and have it explode to get 5
targets. Use the second mine on either of the two remaining targets and
have it explode when it intersects with the other to get the job done.
===========================================================================
Appendix C: Combat Simulator
===========================================================================
The multiplayer mode of this game. It has under gown quite a drastic update
compared to the death match in the predecessor. A tremendous amount of
options is available to you, computer controlled AI, a ranking system, a
set of challenges and some of the levels as well!
I'm not going to explain each and every feature that can be used. Most of
them are pretty much self-explained and the game does offer some good
descriptions and an instruction booklet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simulant types
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As with many multiplayer games the most important thing to know is what all
your weapons can and cannot do. How all the maps are build up and where all
the good weapons get spawned. Also knowing your opposition is very
important. There are six general difficulty variations in which the
simulants come:
Meat Sim - Human equivalent of a near brain dead person
Bad in every area just plain cannon fodder
Hardly ever shoots, if reacting at all
Hardly ever hits anything
Doesn't run
Doesn't know where the weapons are
Wanders aimless around
Easy Sim - Human equivalent of a beginner
Not too good either, but will play out more actively
Reacts a bit faster
Still bad accuracy and reaction speed
Normal Sim - Human equivalent of a novice player
Knows its surroundings
Has some decent reactions
Can execute tasks reasonably well
Hard Sim - Human equivalent of good player
Great accuracy
High level of speed
Perfect Sim - Human equivalent of an expert, but with better accuracy
Head shots with near impeccable accuracy from any distance
Always running at maximum speed
Dark Sim - No human equivalent, this is an extra difficulty to challenge
the best players out there!
Spawns with the best weapons / shield (if available)
Shooting abilities seem identical to the Perfect Sim
Runs faster than you, even when strafing
Some say that only the top tiered Dark Sim cheats, whereas the others don't
however this is not true. Here are some properties that are shared amongst
all simulants levels:
-They have short & fixed reload time from GE for all of their weapons
You'll even hear the GE reload sound effect if they're close to you
-They get instant lock-on you when they use a Rocket launcher & CMP-150
-They know where to find you even if there is radar is turned off
-They always disarm you when coming in contact while they're unarmed
-Drugging them using sedatives doesn't seem to have any real impact on
their navigation
On the other hand the AI also has some shortcomings:
-They can't use mines properly. Just setup a match with all remote mines
To see what I mean.
-They can't detect mines / explosives. No human will walk into a proximity
mine if he/she knows it's there, but sims just carelessly plunge into
them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General tactics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a human you can't get 100.0% accuracy so you'll have to think of other
ways to beat simulant or other humans to the score. Some general strategies
that can always be applied are:
-Picking up all guns you come across so your opposition can't collect them
-Damage is area sensitive in this game:
Head hits score 2x more damage as Body hits
Body hits score 2x more damage as Limb hits
That's why you always want to go for the upper torso / head! Thus make
sure your sight is a little upward most of the time.
-Always keep strafe running so you're a hard to hit target
-Know all the maps & weapons & spawn points by heart
-Find out which guns work best for you and for which given situation:
Laptop guns as sentry's on key locations work pretty well!
-Tagging a shield or ammo crate with a mine works nicely
-Instead of reloading, use "A" + "Z&A" cycle trick to reload.
Now you'll be almost as quick at reloading as those blasted sims
-When playing with sedatives (knives/crossbow/tranquilizer) also
make sure to hit a dead corpse before it is gone. If you manage to do
this successfully your opponents view will be all drowsy when he/she
respawns!
-You can only run half as fast while being crouched, but your opponent
might not be suspecting an opponent who's only half as tall coming from
behind the corner.
-Statically speaking, a Maian body with a human head has by far the
smallest hit box so this should make you harder to hit. But more
generally, when playing against other humans picking a character whose
colors blend in with the background can help you a lot. Naturally, this
has no effect on simulants. To them Trent Easton's red suit will look
the same as Arctic Joanna on a grey background.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The challenges are a total set of 30 preprogrammed multiplayer scenario
setups where you have to beat the AI opponent. Initially, only the first
set of 4 will be available, but for every challenge you complete a new one
will be opened in the list. Completing a specific challenge may unlock new
features for the multiplayer (guns that are picked up for the first time in
multiplayer are also unlocked for the solo Firing Range).
The first 10 challenges are just as easy as a walk in the park, but after
that it gets pretty intense. In fact after challenge 20 it gets downright
insane, as the computer controlled AI can kill you for a hundred miles with
a single headshot all over the place. There's hardly any fun to those
challenges in my opinion. Either you find a weakness in the AI script (like
their inability to detect mines such as a proximity Dragon) or a hiding
place that makes it impossible for your enemies to attack you.
And if you think that starting with more humans players helps out your
pretty wrong. Almost all of the later challenges ensure the AI has at least
one more character in the battle field than you. And if they're
Perfect/Dark sims that will only work against you. In fact it seems to make
most challenges only even harder. You can peek down below or in Appendix E
for a super easy way to beat all the challenges by using an oversight in
the game. (A)

Pretty much the same as the previous exercise. You only need to rack up a
few more kills. Still be wary the blast radius of a rocket could get you
killed...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: MagSec-4 Time: 5 minutes
CMP-150 Arena: Pipes
Timed Mine
Dragon
AR34
Desc.: A Challenge against basic simulants that includes Assault
Rifles and Timed Mines.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 4 | >= 8 | >= 10 | >= 12 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 1x Meat | 2x Meat | 3x Meat | 4x Meat |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Make use of the weapons here as well and you'll be victorious without too
much effort. Mind you that sims can't detect explosives (Proxy dragons
anyone?).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: MagSec-4 Time: 10 minutes
CMP-150 Arena: Skedar
K7-Avenger
Dragon
Shield
Desc.: Take control of the hill against a team of standard Simulants.
Shield technology is available, as well as the K7 Avenger.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 4 | >= 8 | >= 10 | >= 12 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 1x Easy | 1x Easy | 2x Easy | 2x Easy |
| | 1x Meat | 1x Meat | 2x Meat |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
The easy simulants make their debut here. You'll notice that they at least
try to put up a fight. Shields are not necessary yet, but it is never a bad
idea to pick them up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: Cyclone Time: 10 minutes
Grenade Arena: Complex
AR-34
FarSight XR-20
Shield
Desc.: Combat a team of standard Simulants using the specialized
FarSight weapon in the Complex.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 10 | >= 20 | >= 25 | >= 30 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 1x Easy | 1x Easy | 1x Easy | 2x Easy |
| | 1x Meat | 2x Meat | 2x Meat |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Pick up the FarSight and track down your opponent. They're not moving very
fast so you should be able to hit them. Take note that enemies with shields
require a second hit to kill (the shield absorbs the first hit).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: CMP-150 Time: 10 minutes
Dy357 Arena: Area 52
Shotgun
K7-Avenger
Shield
Desc.: Hold the briefcase for as long as possible against a large team
of basic Simulants.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 6 | >= 6 | >= 6 | >= 6 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 4x Meat | 4x Meat | 4x Meat | 4x Meat |
| | | 1x Easy | 2x Easy |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
You can't pick up any more shields once you have the briefcase so make sure
you got one before picking the case up. After doing stay clear of the
enemies' clutches for as long as possible. The opposition may be in larger
numbers, but most of them are still nothing more than rubbish meat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: Falcon-2 (s) Time: 10 minutes
Magsec-4 Arena: Warehouse
Cyclone
Grenade
Shield
Desc.: Take control of the hill against a team of advanced Simulants
in the Warehouse. All weapons kill with only one hit.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 5 | >= 10 | >= 12 | >= 15 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 1x Easy | 1x Easy | 2x Easy | 2x Easy |
| | 1x Meat | 1x Meat | 1x Meat |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
I wouldn't want to call this an advanced team, but with one hit kills a
single mistake can be fatal. Of course this also holds the other way
around. Just get as many players on the hill when the timer expires to rack
up as much points as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: Shotgun Time: 10 minutes
Magsec-4 Arena: Skedar
K7-Avenger
Super Dragon
Shield
Desc.: Capture the enemy's case while defending your own. Killing the
case carrier means the case returns to the base.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Team Score | >= 9 | >= 9 | >= 9 | >= 9 |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
Simulants | 1x Easy | 2x Easy | 2x Easy | 2x Easy |
| | | 1x Meat | 2x Meat |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
The Super Dragon is the best weapon around here to find. Get it, then go
for the enemy's case and return it to yours. When playing with more than
one player have the someone defend your case as they'll try to sneak off
with yours in any case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge 9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: Falcon-2 Time: 10 minutes
Dy357 Arena: Ravine
Timed Mine
Laptop Gun
FarSight XR-20
Desc.: Capture the enemy's case while defending your own. Killing the
case carrier means the case returns to the base.
| 1 player | 2 players | 3 player | 4 players |

Simulants | 1x Normal | 1x Normal | 1x Normal | 1x Normal |
| | | 1x Meat | 1x Meat |
| | | | 1x Easy |
-----------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
The reign of the easy/meat sims has ended with the first entry for the
normal sim... Not that you'll notice that much difference. Enjoy the easy
ride while it still lasts. FarSight and the Laptop sentry are key to
victory here. Note that this time round you'll have to work without
shields.

As expected attempting to play the challenges with cheats enabled prevents
you from progressing, but you can however use an oversight in the game to
beat a challenge without any effort. What you need to do is the following:
Prerequisites:
-Have 2 controllers attached plus 1 memory pack to the N64
-Save a very simple scenario on memory pack
(e.g. pistols against 1 Meat Sim; with a limit of 1)
Now repeat the following steps for each challenge you want to complete:
-Have player 2 select "Load scenario"
-Highlight the saved scenario, but DON'T confirm yet
-Have player 1 select the required challenge & confirm
(player 1 should now say "and waiting...")
-Now player 2 should confirm the selection of the loaded scenario
-Start the challenge, beat the Sim to win
-The game now thinks you completed the scenario and awarded you
With all its gifts!

The table below shows what you get for beating each individual challenge.
As noticeable you don't need to beat challenges 25 and up to gain any new
features. So you can avoid the Dark Sims if you're only interested in
getting every option the game has to offer.

Player statistics & Ranking
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfect Dark's combat simulator keeps track of various player statistics
that can be saved on the game pack or memory card. The following stats are
recorded:
Item | Description
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Kills | Number of deaths you caused
Deaths | Number of deaths you endured
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Accuracy | Hit percentage (only tracked down for the last ~4 games)
Head Shots | Number of head shots you got (shooting dead doesn't help!)
Ammo Used | Quantity of ammo you discharged
Damage Dealt | Number of pain you caused
| (under normal settings 1.0 is equivalent to a kill)
Pain Received | Amount of pain you endured
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Games Played | Number of games you played
Games Won | Games that you won
Games Lost | Games that you lost
Time Spent | Number of days/hours/minutes/seconds you played
Distance | Number of virtual kilometers you character ran
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Green Stars | Accuracy awards (highest accuracy)
Yellow Stars | Head Shot awards (most head shots)
Red Stars | Kill Master awards (most kills)
Blue Stars | Survivor awards (least amount of deaths)
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Ranking | Ranking from 21 to 1 weighted over cumulative stats only
--------------|------------------------------------------------------------
Similar to Blast Corps' (also a game by Rare) rating system getting the top
ranking doesn't give you anything except a name & password that have no
meaning whatsoever. Perhaps those passwords were meant to gain access on
websites that no longer exist (see Appendix E for details). The #1 user
name and password are:
Username: Entropicdecay
Password: zero-tau
Here's a complete list of all the possible rankings:
Ranking
------------------
Beginner: 21
Trainee: 20
Amateur: 19
Rookie: 18
Novice: 17
Trooper: 16
Agent: 15
Star Agent: 14
Special Agent: 13
Expert: 12
Veteran: 11
Professional: 10
Dangerous: 9
Deadly: 8
Killer: 7
Assassin: 6
Lethal: 5
Elite: 4
Invincible: 3
Near Perfect: 2
Perfect: 1
------------------
The ranking itself is based on 10 milestones for 10 different categories.
For every 5 milestones you complete your ranking is incremented by 1 (thus
you have 20 ranks plus the initial first one). Only after completing all
milestones will your ranking become #1: Perfect.
For a list of milestones see below. Furthermore, an online calculator is
available by Curtis Bright at:
http://www.curtisbright.com/pd/ranking.php .
It shows you the current rank based on the statistics and the next closest
milestones to complete.

* = when playing less than 24 hours your time is displayed as HH:MM.SS,
note the "." to see the difference between time registration.
As you can see the numbers go quite insane for some of the statistics like
Ammo Used, Distance and Time Spent (12:12:00 = 300 hours!). Given that a
match takes ~2 minutes you'd have to play over half a million matches to
get scores like that, which is pretty much as silly as getting the
1,000,000 VS modes matches messages in SSB:Melee or SSB:Brawl. Even more if
you consider you don't get much out of it.
If you still want to max out all of these take a look just below here for
some guides:
Kills (Target = 18000)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the following scenario:
-Simulants: 8 Dark sims on your team (they spawn with weapons)
-Weapons: All slots remote mine
-Level: Felicity
-Time limit: 1 hour
-Kill limit: Infinite
-Scenario: Hold the Briefcase
Restart the level until your base is in the lavatory / toilets. Set all
your sims to hold/guard the base (hold "A" pressed for the Simulant quick
menu). This will make all your sims run around the toilets throwing mines
around, but never detonating them simply because simulants can't do that.
Get your self some mines and throw one mine into the lavatory before
running back outside down the stairs. Detonate your mine and watch the
fireworks through the walls. Your simulants will blow up, respawn into the
toilets, but because they're Dark Sims they'll be holding mines upon
reentering. If this happens within the current explosion a chain reaction
is created which lasts indefinitely. Just leave you N64 running until time
expires to get >15000 kills or so.
Mind you not to leave the time limit on infinite as well. The reason for
this is that if you exceed the 2^15 = 32768 kills the numbers will become
negative as the kill count is stored as a signed integer. It's safer to
leave it on one hour as that should be sufficient for you.
Conclusion: with the above method it's 5 minutes work to get the setup
done, and zero effort to get the required target.
Ammo used (Target: 450,000)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a bit of a jinx actually. Using logic you'd pick the Reaper or dual
Cyclones on secondary fire (magazine discharge) as they have ludicrous fire
rates. Keeping the "Z" trigger pressed to waste as much ammo as possible,
right?
After doing some exact measurements I came to some unexpected results. The
really fast shooting guns don't get all their ammo counted when shooting an
entire magazine empty. For example record the current number of ammo used,
start a solo player match, pick up a Reaper or Cyclone, empty an entire
magazine, quit the match, check the new number and subtract the two to get
the exact numbers. I got the following numbers on a PAL machine:
Dual Cyclone: ~74 bullets (out of 100; magazine discharge)
Reaper: ~140 bullets (out of 200)
What seems to happen is that the game counts the number of frames you press
the "Z" trigger, while firing rather than the actual wasted amount of ammo!
Therefore I came to the following setup which is most effective:
-Weapons: RC-P120 (for all 6 slots)
-Time limit: Infinite
-Simulants: None
-Level: doesn't matter; Temple / Sewers seems to work fine
-Character: doesn't matter; but Mr. Blonde makes the best runner
The RC-P120 has 100% efficiency, not a single bullet gets wasted, when it
comes to unloading the entire magazine. It a fire rate of 1200 RPM
according to the game, has reasonable fast reload times, plus at 120
bullets you don't need to reload as often as other guns. The only
unfortunate thing is that no ammo is counted when using cloaking as you'd
otherwise could use that and wait on top of a ammo crate spawning point and
leave the console on over night...
So the actual strategy is running around in a path that works well for you.
The base center areas of Sewers and Temple work well to run around in large
squares/circles picking up ammo along the way as you hold "Z" to discharge
your magazine. Using the RC-P120 I got target nearly thrice as fast as with
the dual Cyclones so I really encourage you to use it! It is tedious enough
as it is. Btw. When doing this run you can also rack up some distance for
that other statistic! Keep running around for several hours and you'll get
the 450,000 eventually.
Damage Dealt (Target: 90.0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Rare make a mistake here? Where they intending 90K? Maybe it is
deliberate to have beginner player boost their ranking a little faster...
No one knows, but I'm not complainging. XD
At 90.0 you just need to get 90 kills on normal settings to complete this
task. Seeing that this comes down to just a few matches no strategy is
required here.
Games Won / 4x Medals (Target: 900 each)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's easiest to do all of these 5 together in one go. Because Head shots &
Accuracy medals are only awarded with at least 2 human players you can't
work with sims here (not that we were going to). Select the following
setup:
-Weapons: All slots FarSight
-Sims: None
-Controllers: 2, one for you and a stationary target
-Level: doesn't matter; Random (just to get a some variation)
-Character: doesn't matter; but Mr. Blonde makes the best runner
-Kill limit: 2
In order to get all medals during each game you need to kill your opponent
at least twice with a headshot, without missing. Using the FarSight XR-20
you only need to hit him/her once to get the kill. If you make sure the
non-moving human player is directly in front of you the auto-tracker
feature of the FarSight will spot your opponent's face really quick.
Get the two kills and end the match to receive all four stars and rack up
another victorious battle. Repeat 900 times so you get sufficient medals
for all four categories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time / Distance (Target: 12:12:00.00 = 300 hours, 9000 km)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most insane numbers are the 10th milestones for both Time & Distance.
You'll need to have your N64 on for at least 300 hours plus possibly some
extra time if you can't rack up enough distance. Make sure to complete the
other milestones first, because this is a waste of time any other way. The
following setup works best:
-Sims: None
-Character: Mr. Blonde (long legs and thus fastest runner)
-Level: Temple
-Time Limit: Infinite
Enter the level and run towards the basement floor in the center or the
large sandy room. Make your controller point diagonally backward so Blonde
is running around in reverse circle continuously. Now press "L+R+Start" to
lock this position as the neutral position for your controller. If you let
go of the analogue stick afterwards Mr. Blonde will be running around in
circles in a forward direction, because the game now thinks you're
continuously pressing diagonally forward.
Additionally, tape down the C-left or C-right button go gain some extra
strafing speed! And in fact, you might just get a little more speed if you
tape down the analogue stick in forward direction too (even with the
changed neutral position you can still gain a bit). Turn your television
off and let him run around the same circle for 12 days. Make sure to check
on him every now and then, as he might stray off into a corner from time to
time. After the required time has elapsed. Stop the running match and look
at your stats.

Appendix D: Cheats
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of Perfect Dark's cheat codes are awarded to the player for making
progression in the solo missions. Each of the regular 17 levels can unlock
two cheats. One for beating the level for the first time on any difficulty
and one for beating the level at a specific difficulty setting and within a
certain time limit.
Activating cheats automatically means that beating the level doesn't count.
If you finish a level with any cheat enabled your status changes to
dishonored and thus you can unlock any other cheats even if the time limit
was met. Here's a short overview of all the cheats in the game:
Fun Category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Donkey Kong Mode
----------------
This well known cheat returns in the spiritual sequel to GoldenEye.
Essentially, this cheat changes the body layout of all the human characters
in the game to have very small bodies, normal limbs, and huge heads which
makes them appear like the gorilla Donkey Kong. The nice thing about this
cheat is that it becomes much easier to get those instant kill head shots
on your opposition during the mission.
Small Joanna
------------
What more can I say; this make you as short as a Maian, but with the physic
of a human. It does make you a harder target for enemies, so there is small
advantage for the player with this one. A bit like some sort of Oddjob...
Small characters
----------------
Makes all the human characters around you appear like midgets. Now you can
see past all the guards into the distance.
Team heads only
---------------
This cheat causes all regular humanoid enemies to bear faces of the Perfect
Dark game staff exclusively. Care to beat up Duncan Botwood or some of the
others? It does decrease the variation in characters, though.
Play as Elvis
-------------
Ever wanted to know what it's like for a little alien with a big head to
appear in the cut scenes or walk around the levels? It does give you a
slightly different view of the whole scenario. Btw. because of the way the
characters positions are predetermined in the cut scenes Elvis' body floats
in mid air to make up for his short size compared to Jo.
Slo-mo Single player
--------------------
The effect of a permanent Combat boost, but to be honest it doesn't work
out too well. Slow motion really is sluggishly slow. Not nearly as much fun
as the Slow Animation cheat from its predecessor. Then again, this should
ensure that frame rate issues are nonexistent.
Gameplay Category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Invincible
----------
It shouldn't be too hard to see what this does, neh. The God mode cheat
equivalent as in most first person shooter games. Now you can exchange the
careful sneaking around for Rambo tactics! However, you should be aware
that missions can still be failed if objectives aren't met or if you plunge
into a pit. Invincibility is not yet immortality!
Cloaking Device
---------------
One of the four cheats unlocked with the Transfer pack. This cheat let's
you start with a device on each level with enough capacity for 120 seconds
of invisibility. And the nice thing is you can turn it on/off whether you
like to. GoldenEye had some issues with character interaction if you had
this cheat on.
Marquis of Queensbury Rules
---------------------------
What the heck is this? you may wonder. All it does is unarming all your
enemies. The cheat enforces them to fight you with their bare hands like a
boxing match. And that is where the reference of the cheat lies. The
Marquis of Queensbury made up the rules for modern day boxing.
Jo Shield
---------
Start out the level with a full shield gauge. Finally, you can have a
shield on Perfect Agent difficulty all along! Perhaps this cheat may be
useful when practicing some new strategies on a level your stuck at. Or
otherwise you may consider the next one below here.
Super Shield
------------
Now you're shield power is boosted about 5-fold. Better armor can't be had!
But still beware of Easton's golden magnum... It can still deplete the
shield in a single hit, but otherwise you're pretty much invincible were it
not for the stun effect you momentarily endure when being hit.
Enemy Shields
-------------
All enemies in the level now start out with a shield just like some of them
do in CI - Defense. This is a nice handicap for player who found PA too
easy. Rather than boosting their energy in Perfect Dark mode the shield
means that enemies no longer quake in agony when you hit them, but strike
back as if nothing happened.
Enemy Rockets
-------------
Another blast from the past. This funny cheat replaces the regular guns for
Rocket Launcher for all enemies in the level, even the ones that are
spawned/generated during action. You really need to change you tactics of
approaching them in some cases. Even if you evade a rocket the explosion
can wreck havoc on your health..., or the safety of your objectives!
Perfect Darkness
----------------
Turns off all the light sources in the game making everything pitch black.
The designers however were nice enough to let you start with some Night
Vision goggles when you start a mission using this cheat. You should also
try to play the outdoor levels Villa and Crash Site to see some
extraordinary effects that are a bit like a solar eclipse.
Weapons for Jo in Solo category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rocket Launcher/Sniper Rifle/Super Dragon/Laptop Gun/Phoenix/FarSight
---------------------------------------------------------------------
These six cheats are about pretty common guns so I'm not going to elaborate
them any further. Unlike the All guns cheat these do give you some initial
ammo to play with.
Psychosis Gun
-------------
A very special gun that resembles a regular Tranquilizer. It is so secret
most players never even see it. The psychosis gun is a weapon that infects
the enemies so they turn into buddies. Because the "Infinite ammo" cheats
don't work on this gun the All guns cheat is pretty much useless for this
one. I think this is mostly because the game would lock up / crash if you
were to have an infinite amount of buddies. Using this cheat you start out
with 4 shots!
The only regular level you'll encounter the gun is in the Maian SOS bonus,
where you can find 4 shots for it. Thus this cheat combined with that level
allows you to have 8 shots in total. By doing so you can even see the gun
reload which does feature a different animation than the similar
Tranquilizer.
Trent's Magnum
--------------
The Golden gun equivalent of Perfect Dark, which is also known as the
golplated version of the Dy357 magnum. Causes so much damage that it
virtually kills/destroys anything with a single shot. Enemies with shields
however take two hits as a shield can absorb one hit too.
Classic guns category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PP9i / KF7 Special / Klo1313 / AR-34 / ZMG (9mm) / RC-P45
---------------------------------------------------------
Each of these guns are on display near the Firing range for you to look at
them. The classic guns are exact replicas of the Goldeneye guns, but have
been renamed once again. For most of the names its easy to fill in the GE
counterpart.
If you use these guns you'll quickly discover that they're much more
efficient than the PD ones. They don't eat up as much ammo, reload nearly
instantaneously, but they don't have any secondary fire modes.
These are the only cheats that aren't unlocked by playing solo missions.
Rather you need to get gold medals in the Firing Range to unlock these.
Weapons category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Classic Sight
-------------
Changes the manual aiming reticule to the red target as used in GE. That's
all.
Infinite Ammo: Laptop Sentry
----------------------------
With this cheat deploying the Laptop sentry gun doesn't eat up any ammo
from your magazine plus it never runs out of bullets as well. However,
picking up the gun (press "B" when near it) doesn't yield any bullets all
the same.
Hurricane Fists
---------------
This makes Joanna punch roughly ~3 times faster than usual when unarmed.
Now you can easily slap your opponents to death or claim guns from them
really fast. This is also the second cheat that is unlocked using the
Transfer pack!
Infinite Ammo
-------------
The well fabled infinite ammo cheat. You really need this cheat when using
the "all guns" cheat or otherwise most of the guns will be pretty useless
anyway. If you have trouble unlocking this one you could try the cheat just
below here for a near similar effect... Lastly, the Psychosis gun doesn't
work with this cheat. The only way to get 4 ammo for that one is using the
specific cheat.
Infinite Ammo: No reloads
--------------------------
Does the same as the previous cheat, but also ensure your magazine never
runs empty thus allowing you to keep on shoot continuously without ever
having to reload. It would have been nicer if this cheat would have been
"no reloads" on itself without the infinite ammo, so the previous cheat
wouldn't be superfluous. Also note that the magazine discharge of the
Cyclone still only shoots a stream of 50 bullets (It doesn't keep on
shooting indefinitely).
X-Ray scanner
-------------
Handy if you want to see through the walls what is going on around you. See
if you can find any uses for this cheat.
R-Tracker / Weapons cache detector
----------------------------------
Using this cheat on any level enables a mini radar in the solo mission
which you can use to locate where all the secret guns are (like the dual
CMP-150 in dD: Investigation. This is the third cheat that can be unlocked
with the transfer pack.
All Guns
--------
Fills your inventory with all of the regular guns in the game (including
duals), plus the classic guns (also including duals), plus the Psychosis
gun. But you don't get any ammo along with it! A bit of a jinx if you ask
me. Make sure to get the Infinite ammo & Psychosis gun cheats to ensure you
get some ammo for all your weapons.
Buddies category
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Because your type of buddy is confined to one, you can only select one out
of these five cheats at the same time.
Velvet Dark (doesn't count as a cheat)
-----------
Unlocked/enabled by default for you to use in the Co-op missions. Seems to
be Joanna's sister considering the surname, but this was never officially
confirmed. Just as much as Jonathan's surname changed all of a sudden for
the prequel.
Pugilist
--------
Resembles Carrington's pudgy body, but with a different head. The pugilist
as the name suspects only fights using his hands, thus he gets killed
rather easily when he approached a distant guard.
Hotshot
-------
An Area-51 guard wielding a mixed pair of Dy357 & Dy357-LX magnums. If you
unlock this cheat straightaway during a new setup, this is the earliest
moment in the game where you can unlock the Dy357-LX magnum long before
reaching the Crash Site.
Hit and Run
-----------
A tall standing Mr. Blonde whom carries a K7-avenger. Fortunately for him,
he doesn't need to reload as long as you normally would. This guy has a lot
of stopping force!
Alien
-----
A little midget of an Alien will be your supporting character. However, as
small as he may be he does carry an RC-P120. Now you have some real fire
power to back you up!

limited missions in solo player. For unlocking the classic guns look up the
strategies in Appendix B: Carrington Institute.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1. dataDyne Central - Defection 1:30 (SA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Marquis of Queensbury Rules
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This cheat is easy for the first part, until you reach the foyer. You
really need to take out the guards fast near the hub, because they
otherwise shoot the console right of it in the crossfire. When this happens
the panel will get blown up in the explosion as well failing the mission.
-Skip cinema immediately
-Strafe left, fall down, go into the doorway
-Open the second door
-Immediately follow with "Start" to get ECM mine out, while you wait
-Rotate and strafe around staircase/ramp
-Align the crosshair slightly above the hub & press "Z"
-Wait for preemption and run as soon as the mine is launched [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Select "Disarm" and use it on the lone guard downstairs
-Open the door, strafe into Cassandra's office
-Punch Cass to retrieve the necklace [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Run back to the left elevator (00:30)
The elevator is still here, if you reach it before ~30 seconds elapse
-Go down to foyer
There's 2 options at this point which may work out. "A" is the slower/safer
one, and "B" is the faster all-out option, but I've found this one very
hard to pull off myself. The main problem is that the guards will shoot the
console next to the hub when I shoot the ECM mine, when that happens it
explodes and blows up the console as well... Running past the guards in the
left branch is doable if you're fast. Remember, it's only Special Agent!
A. -Crouch & move back to not alert any guards.
-Shoot the glass, fall down the ledge
-Take out the two guards here
-Run around counter clockwise
-Take out 2 more guards
-Open comms hub door & eliminate the other three
-Place the ECM mine [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Head to the left passage
-Run past any guards, while heading to the elevator [OBJECTIVE 4]
B. -Get ECM mine ready right away
-Run to the hub & place the mine [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Head to the left passage
-Run past any guards, while heading to the elevator [OBJECTIVE 4]

1.2. dataDyne Central - Investigation 6:30 (PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Pugilist
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the hardest time based cheats to get. 6:30 may seem undoable
at first, but it can be done with proper planning ahead. The real time
limit is reaching the laser grid in under 4:10. That's your last chance of
getting through with the cleaning bot. If you make it past that point, you
can play the rest of the level as usual.
-Wait during the cinema, until the guard's view goes to the left
-Strafe directly to the left and take out the single enemy
-Continue running and the cleaning bot opens the wooden doorway right away
-Run towards the glass ledge
-Shoot 4 bullets to shatter it allowing you to fall down here
-Press "Start" to get the Data Uplink ready
-Use it on the console to program the bot
-Kill the guard, and activate the other console [OBJECTIVE 1]
At this moment the bot starts its cleaning cycle. You need to complete
objectives 2, 3 and reach the laser grid before ~4:10. This is your last
chance option of getting through the grid within the cheat's time limit. I
find it easier to run back to the initial room rather than going to through
the corridor. For one I find this route more time consuming plus your entry
point in the large room means that a lot of guards get alarmed, which is
bad.
-Run back to the wooden doorway
-Shoot either 3 or 4 (but no more) bullets in the left wall
This lures out the two guards in the next room, without alerting the ones
in the large room behind them. If you don't do this you'll have to fight 4
of them at once from behind the bullet proof glass; this costs a lot of
time as they all tend to retreat behind it! Next to that the guards in the
large room won't see/hear you coming at all, this means they're rendered
harmless for a few seconds when you enter.
-The cleaning bot should open the wooden maintenance hatch at this moment
-Shoot the two goons in the doorway, which are right in front of you now
-Continue to the next room
-Surprise the guys in the large room for an easy victory
-Run towards the center, look rightward, press "Start" to deploy the CamSpy
-Leave it near the right doorway (don't open the door yet)
-Switch back to Joanna with a CMP-150 and continue up ahead
-Kill the lone guard
-Open the next door and shoot some bullets into the back hallway
-Dive into the first passage to the right
(a patrolling guard should have his back turned to you right here)
-Take out the 3 or so guards which come towards you
-First enter the left doorway and run to the sluggish elevator thingy
-It should be nearly down, so get down under
-Eliminate the K7 Avenger toting man
-Collect it and dash back on the elevator (You must get on it right away)
-Return to the CamSpy and photograph of the isotope [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Once you're done the elevator should be back up again
-Run down the right hallway, enter the room & take out the two guards
-Talk to the scientist, when Joanna says: "Pull the plug on that" you can
safely leave (you can only communicate if no guards are nearby)
-Strafe back, and head towards the next right hand corridor
-There's two more dudes here
-Shoot the glass column while opening the doorway
-Collect the Night vision goggles from the shattered glass column
-Run back towards the left passage (the door should still be open)
-Look into the hallway to see another duo of goofs
-Take them down, enter the next room, and kill another set of 2 guards
-This should trigger the first sentence of the scientist, ignore him
-Enter the back room, and talk to the angry scientist.
-Activate any consoles he passes by
-When he stops punch him out, and skip that console
-Return to the last room, have Jo say: "Pull the plug.." before you leave
-The last scientist will deactivate the third experiment [OBJECTIVE 3]
You should be at 4:00 right now. Also if you didn't communicate with the
first two scientists, the angry scientist will actually obey and deactivate
the experiment by hitting the correct panel. If that happens the other
scientist will trigger the alarm instead. It's not the angry scientist per
se, but the last one you make contact with.
-Enter the last path, take out the guard directly in front of you
-Then take out 3 more and look around for the cleaning bot
-If you did all properly you can follow it past the lasers right away
-Once you're through kill the guards in the next two rooms
-Enter the room with the security room while looking left
-Kill the Dragon guy, and turn around to lock-on the right one
-After they're both gone, pick up a single Dragon
-Throw it back as a proxy in the small room
-Activate the security console with the Data Uplink
-The proxy Dragon will obliterate the guards sneaking up on you
-Select either the Dragon / K7 Avenger and go down to the level 4 door
-Aim a little to the right, open, sniper the distant guard
-Close, reload, wait a second and open/close the door
-Use this to get a good shot at the 2 remaining guards
-Enter the left passage, aim with the K7 Avenger
-A Dragon trooper will pop up, if you kill him the door behind him opens
-Use the aiming view to take the two in the door opening too
-Run towards the end, collect the shield and return [OBJECTIVE 4]
If you're above 6:15 there's no time to shoot the drone guns, thus try to
strafe via either left/right side past all three of them. It can be done
without taking damage, if you're a little lucky. Otherwise, Open the door,
run back a few steps, and take a quick well aimed shot at the closest gun.
Afterwards, Close/Reload/Open to get the other two out of the picture.
-Strafe through the hallway (with or without drone guns)
-Press "B" to open the very last doorway. [OBJECTIVE 5]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3. dataDyne Central - Extraction 2:03 (A)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Hurricane Fists
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This cheat is super easy to get. You only need to kill the female guards
surrounding Cassandra to complete objective 2, not the rest of them like on
PA. Secondly, a glitch allows you to open the supposedly 'locked' staircase
doorway. By doing so you can skip the bottom two office blocks all the
same!
-Skip cinema immediately
-Press "Start" to activate the night vision goggles
-Strafe through the entire corridor ignoring all guards
-Near the elevator take out the two guards, because Dr. Caroll gets shot
otherwise.
-Enter the lift (it should still be here) [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Go all the way up, and hug the left wall
-At the top press "B" to mysteriously open the locked staircase door
(the game allows you to glitch this through the wall!)
-Ascend the stairs
-Collect the rocked and enter Cassandra's scene
-Shoot it right below Cassandra, head for the light switch
-When the lights go out, turn it back on to blind all the gals
-Use any weapon to get rid of the other women [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Just strafe run to the helipad [OBJECTIVE 3]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. Carrington Villa - Hostage One 2:30 (SA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Hit & Run
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This cheat requires you to blaze through the level at very high speed. It
really tests your ability to take out all the snipers in very limited time.
Other than that there's little too it Well, not stopping as you otherwise
get flooded over by all the shaded terrorists. Also snipers have no health
and die instantly when shot anywhere (unless you shoot their gun of
course).
-Skip cinema immediately
-Run towards the balcony as Jo auto-selects her Sniper Rifle
-Look down before changing to manual aim to save time on sniping
-Use single precision hits on the hostage takers at the dock [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Release "R", turn around, select Unarmed (Disarm) while strafe running
-Disarm the first guard's CMP-150, fall down the ledge to the right
-Shoot and run while heading towards the first sniper
-Turn left, while looking up already to get the Sniper without aiming
-Run forward into the open center area
-Kill the Sniper at 3, 12 possibly without using "R" for better speed
-Hit the sniper at 10 o' clock (don't run too far in or you can't see him)
-Strafe up the stairs towards the door
-Look out into the distance to see 2 more Snipers for easy kills
-Enter the doorway, ignore anyone unless they block you
-Follow the right wall and go outside again, close the door as pass through

-Enter the doorway to the basement level
-Go up ahead and activate both consoles while dodging most guards

-Dash through all the guards in the cellar (use pause screen reloads)
-The last trooper has the clearance card
-Open the door, and run into Carrington's chamber [OBJECTIVE 4]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Chicago - Stealth 2:00 (PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Psychosis Gun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This strategy relies on the fact that the limosine guard doesn't notice you
from behind and the fact that the guards at the parking lot entry won't
notice you if you don't face them (but to be safe keep on the left side of
the road).
-Wait during the intro, until Carrington says: "... in this plot.".
-Enter the level & disable the first guard by punching him in the back
-Knock out the FBI geezer to the left
-Head right into the alcove (patrolling guards have their back to you)

-Change to the Bugtracker and shoot it from here on the limo [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Run up, fall down the storm drain and collect the white case [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Get back up, face away from G5 entry and return to stairs
-Throw a mine against the lower (or higher) wall section [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Run back to storm drain
-Deploy the BombSpy and press 'Z' when nearing the panel [OBJECTIVE 4]
-Enter G5 parking lot pronto [OBJECTIVE 5]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 G5 Building - Reconnaissance 1:40 (A)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Cloaking Device
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beforehand you should practice the first three rooms, until you know the
positions of the guards perfectly. This allows you to kill them with very
little effort (in time) when needed. Moreover, placing the remote mine on
the lower wall section in the previous level saves you a few seconds. Just
clear that level with/without cheats. This time is impossible to achieve
without the CamSpy/Decoder trick as written out below.
-Start the level immediately
-Walk to the right, notice the shadowy figures and shoot for a kill
-Circle around for the other and collect the card he drops

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Area 51 - Infiltration 5:00 (SA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Hotshot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This cheat can be a bit challenging for maintaining good health, but it
isn't too bad timing wise. This time round the lab technician is expendable
so shoot the interceptor right away! It's also better to wait several
seconds near the beginning to avoid the guards from appearing in your face
when you start... This does make restarting the level a bit tedious.
The method written out below isn't the quickest; you could trade objectives
1 and 2, but then the air interceptor will be airborne making things harder
for you. Also practicing the walk through the minefield helps a lot. It's
really quite well possible to get through without tripping anything.
Alternatively, you could throw a grenade into the field.
-Wait until Carrington says: "Antenna", then start the level
-Disarm the two guards to the right for the grenades
-Run along the path
-Kill 2 more guards and shoot the turrent 9x to get rid of it
-Continue on and take out the other turrent as well
-Run to the right, ascend the watchtower to clear 2 more guards
-Get down, and use crouched Magsec4 manual zoom to take out lone guard
he'll gather several more cronies if you leave him be...

-Walk directly in line with the right vertical stripe of "H" to avoid mines
-Collect the Rocket launcher
-Enter the small crevice for a shield

-Run back and get down the ladder, and ready a grenade
-Inside chuck it against the center outer wall
-Select explosives and attach them to the computer console
-The grenade will clear all laser pads allowing a quick escape[OBJECTIVE 1]
-Outside 2 blue overall may be waiting
-Run back over the mine field and head into the tunnel
-Use the Rocket launcher to disable the last turret
-Select the comm's rider bug only kill immediate threats
-Activate the panel, attach the bug and run back immediately [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Run back through the mine field (or via the main entry)
-Collect the tech's dropped keycard
-Open either left or right hangar
-Once down under scoot along all the guards into the elevator [OBJECTIVE 3]

4.2 Area 51 - Rescue 7:29 (PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Play as Elvis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This may seem like a pain at first, but it's not that bad at all. Time is
very leisurely here, but surviving the level can be hard. The method below
is just a slightly more efficient run of the main walkthrough entry.
Getting the Phoenix just makes your life so much easier it's worth wasting
a minute or so for getting it. Thus before starting the level make sure the
last time you played Infiltration you cleared the level (cheats can be
used) whilst keeping the technician alive.

6.1 Pelagic II - Exploration 7:07 (SA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Infinite Ammo

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: FarSight XR-20

-Run forward into the teleportal while reloading
-Kill both Blondes using the FarSight (don't hit Dr. Caroll!) [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Go through the door and use the backup data on the doctor [OBJECTIVE 4]

-You might want to spread CMP bullets to cripple any appearing guards
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 Carrington Institute - Defense 1:45 (A)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Super Shield
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On agent this level is not too hard. You also don't need to consider about
having Jonathan here by saving him in Area 51, we won't even be going to
the safe area because of the objectives. Objective 1 will only be completed
if at least all areas have been visited. As some take too long to clear
(the hologram room) just open the door and let the woman die.
-Wait ~5 seconds in the cut scene before entering the level
-Shoot the Skedar along the way, but it's not relevant if he lives through
-Run for the last elevator
-Open the Hologram room doorway to have the CI personnel get killed
(the three shielded dD thugs take too much time to deal with)
-The elevator should just be down if you timed level entry right
-Enter to get upstairs
-Change to combat boost and one pill
-Switch to AR-34
-Open the doorway to device lab and hit both guards
-Repeat for Grimshaw's room to save 4 people (this is sufficient for Agent)
-The boost should wear off just after saving him
-Make way to the Firing range
-Enter the range and quickly kill the dD adversaries [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Hit the computer once the objective is complete for RC-P120 [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Get cloaked and make way to the helipad ignoring all enemies
-Find a relative safe spot and use the uplink
-Bide you time around, until the bleep is heard [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Once done, reequip the RC-P120 (it should still have 3/4 magazine left)
-Run back cloaked along the passage to the jumpship
-Enter the room and wait for the explosion
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.1 Attack Ship - Covert Assault 5:17 (SA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: Alien (Buddy)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you can complete the level it is little extra effort to get the cheat.
Again, time that tight for that mission.
-Wait until Jo stands up in the cut scene before entering
-You'll hear Cass scream in peril when you enter the level
-Get the knife ready and watch for the Skedar who turns his back to you
-Sneak up to him and slash his neck
-Collect the Mauler (secondary fire mode)
-Hit all three consoles near you [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Kill the second Skedar around the corner
-Get in the elevator and get down
-Walk up the main hall to find Elvis
-Change to the AR-34 and kill some wimpy Skedar
-Run to the elevator when you got a few
-Once it is enabled go upstairs
-Keep to the very left so the Skedar won't see you getting up
-Crouch as you approach the door
-Kill the left Skedar with a single shot of the charged Mauler
-Repeat for the Skedar to its right
-Get up again, go through the door for another Skedar
-Collect the shield from the table if you need
-Run forward along all the lights taking down a lone alien along the way
-In the next corridor go left at the junction to find the map room
-Carefully nudge around the corner to get both Skedar in this chamber
-Elvis should follow behind you as he inspects the map [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Don't wait for him, keep going
-In the next corridor go right to find a Skedar directly behind the door
-Go up the ramp to find yet another one waiting in the distant corner
-Take him out then turn left to find larger room connecting two paths
-Take the door to the right
-Quickly kill the one popping up from behind the door
-The next is to the left of him
-Follow either left or right path towards the engine room
-Right is slightly easier
-Before entering the room switch to AR-34
-Aim for the Skedar in the opposite corridor
(They won't react to your shots)
-Rush into the center of the room and take out both parts of the engine
-Strafe run back before the timer expires [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Ascend the ramp to the left
-Nudge around the corner to ambush a lone Skedar at the top
-Enter the double door behind him
-Go up via the right passage
-Kill the Skedar in front of you
-Followed by the on running down the left ramp
-Enter two more elevators
-Keep to the right to avoid most of the gunfire
-Take all three Skedar on the bridge down one-by-one
-Collect the dual Mauler and ammo
-Once Elvis barges in stand in against the door opening
-Shoot the Skedar that teleports into the room
-Back off and wait for the other passage to open
-Shoot both Skedar in here to quickly end the mission [OBJECTIVE 4]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1 Skedar Ruins - Battle Ruins 5:31 (PA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheat: All guns
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the last level no real tricks need to be applied to beat the required
time other than surviving the level itself. You can look up the strategy in
the normal walkthrough to find out the most effective (and quickest) path
to success when battling the Skedar King. If you need to hit the huge
obelisk you could try to throw the bug a long distance, it might save you
an entire walk to it.
-Star the level immediately
-Change to the Callisto NTG (secondary mode) and enable R-tracker
-Kill the Skedar whom appears to either your left or right
-Run along the passage as usual
-Kill both regular and Reaper Skedar using coverage of the obelisk
-Attach a bug in case this is one of the needed three pillars
-Run along the path taking out all Skedars
-Locate the other two obelisks [OBJECTIVE 1]
-Make way to the ravine
-Kill both Reaper Skedars down under
-Fall down and run along the path to the left
-You can either climb the ladder and follow the normal route
OR
-Follow the path along the ravine
-Cross it over to the right
-Strafe run along the wall to reach the entry/exit where the bridge is
(This saves you some time for reaching the pillar room)
-Enter the pillar room
-Take out the baby Skedar in here
-Push the pillar onto the symbol to enable the bridge [OBJECTIVE 2]
-Run over it and clear the entire bottom area of the sanctum
-Look up to find a Reaper Skedar
-Take him out before sacrificing the Falcon-2 [OBJECTIVE 3]
-Run back up the ramp over the previously killed reaper Skedar
-Continue along the path to find the Skedar army
-Chuck three grenade rounds into each set of two statis pods
-Use the Callisto NTG on the last pod to finish it off [OBJECTIVE 4]
-Enter the room of the Skedar king
-Follow the main guide's strategy to beat it quick without
taking damage [OBJECTIVE 5]

Appendix E: Extra
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug, Glitches & Stuff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will describe some of the glitches that are present in this game.
Combat Simulator Easy Challenge wins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As expected attempting to play the challenges with cheats enabled prevents
you from progressing, but you can however use an oversight in the game to
beat a challenge without any effort. What you need to do is the following:
Prerequisites:
-Have 2 controllers attached plus 1 memory pack to the N64
-Save a very simple scenario on memory pack
(e.g. pistols against 1 Meat Sim; with a limit of 1)
Now repeat the following steps for each challenge you want to complete:
-Have player 2 select "Load scenario"
-Highlight the saved scenario, but DON'T confirm yet
-Have player 1 select the required challenge & confirm
(player 1 should now say "and waiting...")
-Now player 2 should confirm the selection of the loaded scenario
-Start the challenge, beat the Sim to win
-The game now thinks you completed the scenario and awarded you
With all its gifts!
dataDyne - Defection: Doorway glitch to sub 10 second Agent times
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A well known glitch to speed runners is the one at the very start of the
game. Just down below the helipad is a door which can open in both ways. If
you make it so that the door opens towards the outside and then fall ontop
of the door's ledge by jumping off the helipad you can stand on it.
If you double crouch at this point and walk forward you can enter through
the wall into the building's interior. Because the game was not designed
for this most of the screen will look black and rather odd. When you
continue forward you'll fall down to the very bottom of Lucerne tower
effectively killing you as there is no floor to stand on. However, with a
little practice you can end up in the foyer elevator instead. This
completes the only objective on agent and thus allows you to finish the
level ludicrously quick. The trick can also be pulled off on SA / PA, but
with the other objectives it becomes a lot harder to get all of them done
in the process...
dataDyne - Extraction: open the locked fire stairway
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works on all difficulty settings and can actually benefit you to get
much quicker times for the Agent cheat. After ascending the building using
the left elevator you'll end up on the bottom office floor where the door
leading to the stairs is locked up tight. This door can be opened from the
other side, for example when you make it upstairs and then go back down
again. However, if you stand inside the elevator cabinet stand diagonally
left into wall (facing the door behind it) and press "B" the door will also
open up!
Doing so allows you to skip the bottom two floors entirely and get the
Rocket Launcher straight away. Apparently, the hitbox of the door extends
far enough for you to interact with it even when there's still a wall
between you and the door.
dataDyne - Extraction: The security card that gives too much privileges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned in the general walkthrough killing all guards in the foyer
before the lights turn on will spawn an extra guard upstairs whom drops a
secret security clearance card. Collecting it unlocks Cassandra's office so
you can get the grenade and the Dragon secret weapons. But the card unlocks
much more than that.
-The main entrance of the building can now be opened too. This means that
you can have a stroll outside the building just to find that there is
nothing there in the first place. If you walk too far away of it, you'll
fall in a bottomless pit and die. Still it's a nice view see the foyer from
the streets.
-The card also unlocks the door opposite of the laboratory elevator in the
foyer. In here you'll find Mr. Blonde & 2 dataDyne female guards. These
appear in the ending cut scene. They're all invincible and don't react to
you. After meeting Cassandra at the top she'll be located here too waiting
for the cut scene to kick in. Moreover, if you're playing on SA/PA the two
Rocket Launcher crates that spawn on the roof of the building in Agent will
be here too. Collecting them automagically gets you the Rocket Launcher
itself as well. This makes destroying the hostile hovercopter a breeze or
blowing up the blue barricades.
dataDyne - Extraction: Explosive cut scene
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the previous glitch you do anything to the people in the room. Using
the all guns + infinite ammo cheats you could 'rework' them using knives or
remote mines. They'll look all funky during the cut scene as well.
Moreover, if you throw a proximity Dragon onto the helipad just before
leaving Dr. Carroll will blow up during the scene. This leads to some
strange effects as well. XD
dataDyne - Extraction: Hovercopter kamikaze selfdestruct
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make it to the top of the roof with the hovercopter still circling around
you (invincibility can be used). Show and hide to make the copter turn
towards the front end of the building. At some point once it get's to the
front side of the building something strange happens. The hovercopter will
attempt to shoot a guided rocket at you from its wings. But because it
swivels around continuously and because the guided rocket moves much slower
the hovercopter will inevitably crash into it destroying itself just like
that. This seems like a really strange strategy to me...
Carrington Villa - Hostage One: Immobilized snipers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The snipers on the rooftops of the village have a peculiar property. They
can't do anything until the two guards in the dock are killed. That is they
won't shoot you even if you are in clear sight or shoot at them. But as
soon as those two guards are down for the count they will start firing at
you. You could make use of this property as the Snipers can do a lot of
damage on you.
Carrington Villa - Hostage One: Windmill = Autogun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the all guns cheat and the K7 Avenger's threat detector on the
windmill's blades you'll notice that the dectector senses an autogun
present inside of it. What is actually going on is that the game designers
reused the autogun for its rotating barrel to make the mill's blades turn
around, after it is activated. They just forgot to remove the autogun
identification from it.
Carrington Villa - Hostage One: Fail the objective then complete it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When playing on Perfect agent one of the objectives is to capture a guard
by punching him unconscious. If you don't do this until you reach the wine
cellar you'll get a message that you failed the objective. However, if you
punch out of the masked shock troopers down under you'll recomplete it
again.
Carrington Villa - Hostage One: Hidden comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you blow up all the wine bottles in Daniel's cellar you'll get a remark
from Mr. Carrington himself. This will only work if the last bottle is
broken separately (a Devastator shell will break multiple bottles at the
same time).
G5 Building - Reconnaissance: Floating guards in the sewers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guards in the back area halfpipe act strange if you kill them while
they are one the halfpipe itself. This is mainly a side effect of the
sloped terrain and leads to some awkward positions for the dead to hold.
Area 51 - Infiltration: invisible men exploding in the cut scene
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the very end of the level the last exit door has several men jumping out
of it after the music speeds up. When you quickly throw a proximity Dragon
in there and then exit through it the following cut scene will have the
Dragon explode in Jo's face. The guards that were running around there will
still be there in the scene, but made invisible, so if the Dragon explodes
at the correct place you see several bodies flying through the scene as she
approaches Jonathan. Such interactivity is still not seen in modern games
of today!
Area 51 - Infiltration: guard spawn in plain sight
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again in the last room of the level before the exit door you'll enter the
place from an elevator. If you quickly run around the ledge the music
should speed up by the time you have turn around. When this happens you'll
see a guard spawning in plain sight in front of the elevator. Because the
game usually tries its best to hide the spawning from the player's view
this is quite an exceptional occasion.
Area 51 - Rescue: Complete the failed objective II
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like in the Villa there is an objective here that can be recompleted
after failing it. The objective in question is the very first one in here.
The game instructs you to use the explosive crate to break through the
wall, but everybody knows any explosive will do (Phoenix or proximity
Dragon).
If you destroy the crate the game will notify you that the 1st objective
can't be cleared anymore, then break the wall with any other explosive
means and voila the objective recompletes itself just like that!
Area 51 - Rescue: See through the cloak
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter the level with a Cloaking device (use a cheat) on Special Agent, then
go to the showers while being cloaked. The doctor holding the disguise will
be able to see you even if you are invisible, the cheat!
Area 51 - Escape: Multiple Elvises?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start out the level with a FarSight and in the first few corridors look
around for any targets using the x-ray sight. If you explore a bit you'll
notice the trolley Elvis is on you just pushed out of the poisonous area, a
second trolley with an Elvis on it, and a third stationary standing up
straight Elvis. If you shoot either of them the mission will fail.
What happens here is that the second trolley is the one used in the cut
scene and the third Elvis is the alien that walks around after the cut
scene. They are spawned at the beginning of the level, but only used for
the appropriate times.
Area 51 - Escape: The respawning quartet
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After meeting up with Jonathan on SA/PA you come across a group of 4 guards
that appear from behind a double door. However, I've had several occassions
that after beating them all 4 up another set of 4 spawned directly after
them when I had my back turned to the doorway. This caused some deaths and
other strange situations where Jonathan was punching out the guards all by
himself.
Airbase - Espionage: Guards with eyes in their backs?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps this is somehing more general, but I've noticed that silently
taking out the guards from a distance with the DrugSpy or Crossbow will
alert other guards in the vicinity even if they have their backs turned to
you and the victim. This happens a lot in the interior of the building.
Pelagic II - Exploration: The secret door
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pelagic II - Exploration: Activating a console through the wall
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're in the moon pool lift room walk up the stairs on either side
and put on the X-ray vision to see a console on the other side of the wall.
If you press "B" the console will be activated and the door is opened to
the submarine area with the exit. If you do this right after completing the
other objectives you can exit the level skipping the yellow/golden
corridors entirely!
Deep Sea - Threat Nullify: Elvis left the building
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
During one or two of my perfect agent runs something very strange happened.
I cleared the first area with shotgun toting guards and walked back to find
out where Elvis was. But I could not find him anywhere. A few moments later
the message appeared that Elvis had died, but there was no body to be found
nor dropped FarSight. It was quite a bugger as I had to restart the hardest
section of this level all over again, even though I had a good run going.
Carrington Institute - Defense: Blow up an invisible man
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you create an explosion in the area where you start out the level a dead
guard will appear out of nowhere. This seems very strange as the guy never
ever spawns during the actual level...
Carrington Institute - Defense: Blowing up the confidential stuff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When playing the game normally (on PA), you're supposed to work out all the
objectives in the proper order. The laser can only be used on the panel in
Daniel's room after completing the first 3 objectives. But if you have the
Devastator dropped by some of the personnel, then you can break this
sequence by chucking a grenade round against the safe. The explosion will
extend through the wall blowing up the confidential stuff for you. This
trick however does not work on the Japanese version of the game, however.
Attack Ship - Covert Assault: Blow up the spawn points
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the main hangar there are 6 passage ways that open up revealing new
Skedar over time. If you plant some explosives in each of these rooms a
blown up Skedar will pop up out of nowhere and no additional Skedar can
spawn from that point. Apparently, killing the hidden Skedar prevents the
game from creating any new ones.
Skedar Ruins - Battle Ruins: Jumping over the gap
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible to skip the push-the-broken-pillar-on-the-icon room entirely
for those daredevils out there. By strafe running off the edge it is
possible (albeit very hard) to get to the other side before losing too much
height. Having an explosive explode behind you might get you an extra boost
to make it through, but this doesn't help that much.
Maian SOS: Hidden blue overalls
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are four invisible blue overalls in this level waiting for you to
seek them out with explosives. As with the others hitting them by blowing
up a proximity Dragon reveals their locations to you. They are:
-In the room where the Rescue level had a shield in A/SA
-At the center of the junction with two opposite circular tube rooms
-In the shower area where the doctor was during Rescue
-Next to the warehouse elevator on the high ledge
WAR!: Spawn point issues
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This level looks a little messy to me. I've had numerous occasions where
Skedar spawned still in the edge of my view or that they didn't spawn at
all (the latter is a blessing on PA in the very final room!). I'm not sure
why this is all so sloppy, but maybe it's because the last level was rushed
through a bit too much...
The Duel: The adversary that could not shoot you
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you play the Duel on SA/PA you'll fight Jonathan. However, because the
programmers used Jon's model from CI - Defense he is buddy of yours. This
is marked by the blue outline when you have your crosshair over him. As a
consequence of this Jonathan will aim at you, but can never hit you with
his magnum! However, you do need to be aware that Jon can still swipe/punch
you causing death at the 0 health you begin with.
The living dead
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are to my knowledge 4 characters in the game that spawn with no
health and die the instant you start the level. All of them carry goods
that are dropped the moment they die. If you start the level on Perfect
Dark difficulty and crank the health level up to 1000% you can still meet
them.
Villa - CI guard (Sniper Rifle)
Area 51 - A51 guard (Rocket launcher)
Deep Sea - Pelagic II guard (Shield, A/SA)
Attack ship - Maian (Shield, A)
Air Force 1: The living dead II
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 1000% health in PD setting the pilots will survive the assault by
Trent's men meaning that objective 4 completes itself.
Japanese differences
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For some reason the Japanese version of the game has a few version
differences that are not seen in the US/EUR releases of the game, other
than easternizing Joanna's face:
-Defection : The A/SA shield is also dropped on PA by the same guard
-Infiltration: The A/SA shield in the mine field is also here on PA
-Attack Ship : You start out with a Falcon-2 instead of a single knife
-Defense : The safe can no longer be blown up with explosives
Passwords, passwords, & more password... But what for?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game has quite a lot of passwords that are unknown to most people. For
example when the game was released to websites were created by Rare Ltd. as
commercial release about Carrington & dataDyne. Rare then 'leaked' two
passwords which allowed you to see some additional content which is
otherwise inaccessible. The sites are no longer active, and redirect
directly to www.rareware.com. For nostalgia there are written out here:
http://www.carringtoninstitute.com/ Username: solaris
Password: pal32ver21z
http://www.datadyne.com/ Username: JamesTann07
Password: 8CR31D29
Furthermore, there are two more passwords to be obtained in-game. No one
knows what these are used for, but they are awarded for either beating the
combat simulator with #1 ranking or reading the description of Cass'
dropped necklace on PA in Attack ship.
Combat simulator Ranking - Perfect: 1 Username: Entropicdecay
Password: zero-tau
De Vries' necklace (Attack ship - PA): Username: CDV780322
Password: 18M0ZYM8ND185
"Touch that Box" dropped multiplayer option
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beta days of the game another multiplayer scenario was announced
called Touch that Box. This was later silently dropped, but hackers still
found some traces of the original scenario. You had to change the color of
certain panels spread through the level to earn points. In an interview
Rare later declared that it was dropped, because it didn't seem fun enough
to leave it in.
"Retaking the Institute" dropped bonus mission
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dissecting the text dumps of the game traces of a hidden / dropped
solo mission was found called Retaking the Institute. As the name suggests
this level might have been the follow up to the loss after the Defense
level. Not much data was found on it other than a few text objective
strings that are written out below:
