1. INTRODUCTION [RNI]
===============================================================================
This is the first FAQ that I have actually finished and as you can see it has
taken a while to find the time to get it finished.
There are a couple of small things missing from the guide and if anyone has
details on them please feel free to e-mail them to me.
Namely they are:
A) Chapter 5's title
B) Weapon 31
C) Tachikoma arm mount 11
D) Tachikoma Body Mount 01
E) Tachikoma Body Mount 04
F) Tachikoma Pod Mount 09
I am sure the weapon is an RG-5 R but it does not appear, to my knowledge, in
any level of the game.
Based on the amount of free time I have (it took long enough to find the time
to write this) please do not be offended if I do not get round to answering all
peoples e-mails directly and please try not to e-mail me with questions as
everything I know about the game has been recorded in this FAQ/Walkthrough.
That said if you do know anything about the missing items listed above, feel
there is a mistake or I have left something out do e-mail me.
With regards to the Bonus items listed at the start of each section these are
the order they appeared for me and I have noted what character I was using when
I obtained the bonus. I have played through some levels again and obtained some
bonuses in a slightly different order and do not have any info on the criteria
for unlocking bonuses.
Hope you find the Walkthrough useful.

5. LEVEL WALKTHROUGH / FAQ [RNV]
===============================================================================
*** Note: I used the Intelligent Tachikoma throughout the game. As it doesn't
tend to walk right into enemy fire and it is very obedient giving you more
control over how you take on a level.
Essentially the guide will work with any Tachikoma but some levels may prove
slightly more difficult if you use the Aggressive Tachikoma and you need to
have good control over it. For example some levels prove far easier if you can
stop your Tachikoma from using all its heavy weapons before reaching a hard
fight at the end of a level. This is more difficult if you are using the
aggressive Tachikoma as it tends to go of and do its own thing no matter what
orders you give it.
===============================================================================
5.1 CHAPTER 1 – CROSSING – AD2030 MAY [RNV1]
===============================================================================
=============
MISSION 1.1
=============
LOCATION: Niihama
TYPE: Event Mission
OBJECTIVE: Rescue the hostages, stop the documents from being stolen, and
determine the ringleaders objectives.
WEAPONS AVAILABLE: M-3 GP
P-27 GP
P-7 GP
SR50-BA
TACHIKOMA PARTS: None
Without wanting to go into too much depth this level is a very simple
introduction to the game. The level layout is intuitive and the objective is to
kill all the patrolling enemies in a section to release the doors and move on.
The openable doors leading between sections are always marked by a green
indicator light next to or above the door. Those marked with red indicators are
not accessible.
When you reach the end of the level make sure you target the terrorist wearing
the balaclava and avoid hitting the hostages. Once he is dead the level is
complete.
I would recommend picking up some new weapons during this level.
===============================================================================
5.2 CHAPTER 2 – FAR NORTH – AD2030 AUGUST [RNV2]
===============================================================================
=============
MISSION 2.1
=============
LOCATION: Mekkari, Old Town
TYPE: Sub Mission
OBJECTIVE: Rescue the kidnap victim and extract information from the maid
android.
WEAPONS AVAILABLE: M-3 GP
P-27 GP
P-7 GP
TACHIKOMA PARTS: HML120 (Mission Bonus – Motoko)
ML-R1 (Mission Bonus – Batou)
SR-T100 (Mission Bonus – Saito)
SMG-T5 S (Mission Bonus – Togusa)
GUM-S10 (Jameson Bonus)
This level is very small and should not pose too many problems for most
players.
The first objective is to Stun the Maid android you must not destroy her.
Depending on which Tachikoma you are using and the weapons you have equipped
you may wish to order it to hold fire (this can be done by pressing select to
access the Tachikoma control menu and giving the appropriate fire order)
otherwise it may destroy the Maid android before you get chance to stun it. The
maid android is armed with a machine gun.
To stun the Maid android select the stun weapon from your weapon list (it is
permanently in your inventory) and chase her down. I find the easiest way to
get this done quickly is to chase the android into the back ally's where there
is little room to manoeuvre.
After a cut scene you will be given your second objective which is to locate
the missing boy. You will have to search all of the rubbish bins in the area as
every time you go through the level it is a random location the boy is in.
There will be more enemies patrolling the level but they can be dealt with very
quickly.
It is very easy to get the JAMESON bonus in this level. From the position you
start the level head to the end of the ally and turn immediately right. Head up
the metal fire escape stairs to the top and the GOLD JAMESON android is there.

*** Note *** All positions of trains are relative to the start location of the
level
This level poses the first real challenge of the game (albeit the first time
you play through). You need to find all the bombs in the train station and
disarm them within the time limit.
The first objective is to disarm the bombs in the underground train station. As
your Tachikoma informs you after you kill the first enemy there are four bombs
on this level.
From the start position head straight forwards and you should see the first
bomb at the base of a pillar just ahead of you. Once you get to the bomb you
need to look at it until the target turns green and then use the action key to
hack into it and disarm it.
From this point head straight forward to the other end of the platform where
you will see an elevator (keep this in mind). At this point turn 180 degress
and you should see a blue door leading into a waiting room. The second bomb is
in the waiting room. When you enter the room an enemy will follow you in take
care of him then hack into the bomb.
Head out of this room towards the edge of the platform by the elevator and drop
onto the tracks. Head towards the second train which is right forward close to
the shutters. Jump over the front of the train through the gap and the third
bomb is just next to the train at the bottom of a pillar. Take out the enemies
and hack into it.
The fourth and final bomb is on the furthest train from the platform. From the
position of the third bomb. Head back along the side of the last train (the one
to your right when looking at the bomb). The opening into the train is about
halfway along the train. Be careful as you approach the opening as an enemy
will jump out with an ATRL and start firing rockets in your direction so take
him out quickly.
Once you have disarmed the final bomb I would advise getting the GOLD JAMESON
bonus. The jameson android is located behind the last train at the end closest
to the start of the level.
Once you have the bonus head back to the elevator noted earlier to make your
way to the top floor of the train station.
The second objective is to disarm the four bombs on this floor of the station.
The first bomb is directly behind the escalators you are facing when you exit
the lift. Take out any enemies near by and hack into the bomb.
The second bomb is located behind the train on the furthest right hand platform
(from the position you exited the lift). Make you way to the very end of the
train and jump across the tracks. Take out all the close by enemies and hack
into the bomb.
The third bomb is located in front of the left hand train. Drop down onto the
tracks and disarm it.
The fourth and final bomb is located on top of the left hand train. Jump up
onto the front of the train and then onto the top and make your way along the
top until you reach the bomb which is about a quarter of the way along the
train.
Once the final bomb has been disarmed the level is complete.

MISSION 2.3

You start the level on the docks next to two container trucks. There are two
guards in the area. take them out and move to the gate control and open the
gate.
Move through the containers eliminating the enemies as you meet them. You will
come to a set of steps leading through an opening in the security fence. There
is a sniper on top of a container in the distance and another enemy with a
machine gun to the right of the steps. Take them out before heading down the
steps to avoid losing health.
At the bottom of the steps turn immediately left and head along the wall down
until you come to some crates just before the dead end. The JAMESON android is
on these crates. Once you have collected the jameson bonus turn round and head
back in the direction you came and go around the other side of the building.
Head towards the orange structure killing any enemies that get in your way.
Just before you get to the orange structure stop and take a look to the left on
top of one of the storage buildings is a sniper kill him before he can get any
shots off. Once you have killed all the guards in this area you will see the
message unlock code obtained and you can head up the steps at the back of the
area which lead to the higher level where there is a gate.
*** Note: If you have taken damage work your way back around the level and
collect all the health packs. If you need to get up onto any of the crates for
health or to obtain weapons, if you have been a bit trigger happy, just get
inside the Tachikoma and jump up then get out of the Tachikoma.
When you walk up to the gate you will get a message saying it has been unlocked
and a short cutscene will play where the chief informs you that if the guards
see you they will kill the former mayor.
You can try to get through this level without being spotted but even with a
sniper rifle it can be a chore.
The best tactic is to creep up as close as you can before quickly jumping out
and killing the guards before they can raise the alarm. You have a couple of
seconds once they spot you before the alarm is raised.
Once the level starts call up the Tachikoma menu and tell it to wait otherwise
it may get itself spotted to early and be unable to kill the guards before they
raise the alarm.
You WILL start the level facing a dead end turn around and head along until
there is break to you right in the steel shuttering. Move forward to the small
crate and get ready to attack the first two guards, Strafe out and kill them
quickly. Now head to the back of the truck with the two green crates on the
back and get ready to kill another two guards. Again strafe out and kill them
both quickly. Once you have killed the guards move on past their position and
around the next corner there is a ramp. At the bottom on the otherside of the
ramp there are another two guards. They cannot see you until you move over the
top of the ramp. Just before you get to the top of the ramp aim slightly
downwards to enable you to lock onto the guards and quickly kill them. Now head
towards the doors of the building ahead which are closed. You do not have to
call for your Tachikoma at this point because a cutscene will start as you
approach the door and once it has played out the Tachikoma will be with you.
The cutscene will show you the four guards inside and as it ends you will see
some guards approaching you from behind. You don't have to worry about the
guards killing the mayor now as their attention will be on you.
Leave the Tachikoma to take care of the guards approaching from behind and move
into the building killing the guard on the lower floor just ahead of you. Next
take care of the guard at the top of the stairs on the left as you entered as
he has a grenade launcher once he is dead take care of the other two guards who
only have assault rifles. For those who may be a bit trigger happy be careful
not to hit the mayor with any stray bullets as you can, and will, kill him.
Once you have killed all the guards another cutscene will play and the mayor
will get into the Tachikoma the objective is to reach the gate at the start of
the area. Head back the way you came killing all enemies. As you round the
truck with the two green containers on the back there is a sniper on top of the
two orange containers straight ahead make sure you kill him quickly.
As you reach the gate a cutscene will play and the level is complete.

When you start the level look to you right and you will see a couple of steel
drums and containers. For now just take note of them as they will become
important later.
Now move of towards the Jameson type production line killing the Jameson's that
do a very bad job of slowing you down. Once you reach the line head left and
find the steps leading up to the mezzanine floor. On this level you will find
the control room. Inside is a grenade launcher and the controls to open the
shutter to the next area of the plant. Once you have activated the switch head
down the steps you came up and you will be able to go through the shutter
directly in front of you.
After the cutscene finishes head after Tamiya (the red Tachikoma). Head around
the next area killing the Jameson's that get in the way. (you don't have to
kill that many of them!). Once you reach the next set of stairs you will get
another cutscene.
In this area you will need to make it up to the control room on the mezzanine
level to shut down the production line. Head straight up there and Kill the two
Jameson's in the control room and activate the switch. Now head back down and
rejoin the Tachikoma. You now have to kill all the remaining Jameson's before
the door on the mezzanine level (that Tamiya left through) will unlock. Once
the door is unlocked head back to it and a cutscene will play. Once it has
finished head back to the factory following the rout by which you came.
Just before you enter the factory you will see another cutscene. Once it has
finished head through the roller shutter doors and head towards the crates in
the back left hand corner (the ones you noted at the start of the level). On
top of the crates is a grenade Launcher and behind these crates you will find
the GOLD JAMESON (it is not available before this point in the level).
Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus head back to the mezzanine level after
Tamiya. Head round past the control room and just before you reach the end of
the floor another cutscene will play. Once it has finished head back through
the roller shutter door. Follow round to the stairs and as you reach them
another cutscene plays. Once it has finished head back the way you came to the
main factory and up to the control room on the mezzanine floor. As you reach it
a cutscene will play and the level is complete.

As you start the level notice the steel doors in the wall to you right (they
lead to the roof and you will be back here later). You don't actually have to
go and check all of the rooms but some contain health packs and some contain
weapons (should you need them).
Head through the level killing all of the enemies as they emerge from rooms.
Sometimes they may leave rooms after you have passed them so watch your back!
During the level as you pass along corridors double back on yourself
occasionally to draw out any enemies that may still be in hiding. Once you
reach a set of double doors at the end of a corridor that don't open the
shipping company president (SCP) is in the room on you right (as you look at
the doors) just before them. As you enter the room a cutscene will play. Once
it ends you will be outside the room and you will now have to escort the SCP to
the roof.
Now Renter the hotel room the SCP was in and you will find the GOLD JAMESON.
Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus head back out of the room and make
your way back through the level killing any enemies you come across. Once you
reach the doors you noted at the beginning of the level that lead to the roof
head through them and as you start up the stairs a cutscene will play (I would
recommend making sure you have as much health as possible, if necessary double
back and locate any remaining health packs in the hotel rooms).
Once on the roof SCP will reluctantly get into the Tachikoma. The object now is
to hold off the ensuing wave of yakuza until your support arrives. Most of the
yakuza are packing heavy weaponry and you will know that you are nearing the
end of the level when the yakuza wearing white suits and carrying LMG-Saw's
start turning up.
Once support arrives a cutscene will start and the level is complete.

As the level starts head through the first shutter, quickly take out the enemy
in the window directly ahead as he has a rocket launcher. Now head between the
vans killing any remaining enemies and head to the back right hand side of the
area and go up the steps to the offices above. As you get to the door an enemy
will burst out kill him and move into the offices killing the enemy just inside
the door on the left who is packing a shotgun. Move through the office killing
anyone left standing and make your way to the computer at the back on the
right. Hack into it and the data is sent to Ishikawa who contacts you back to
let you know it is useless.
Head back out to the main garage area and kill all enemies in this area. The
last couple of enemies (one is a yakuza in a white suit) are near a shutter in
the back left corner. Once you kill them you will see the message shutter lock
disengaged. Before you go through this shutter head back out under the vehicle
loading cranes to where you started the level. You should notice that on the
side wall there is a control that is now active. Use it and head back into the
garage area. Go to the far right under the vehicle loading crane an look up.
You should now see the GOLD JAMESON running forward and back along the steel
frame. Once you have obtained the Tachikoma part head back to the now open
shutter in the back left corner and go through. You will now get a cutscene.
When the cutscene finishes you will be in a think tank hanger and there will be
some heavily armed guards (in blue armour) for you to deal with. Kill them and
collect the health packs. Now if you head back to the shutters where you cam in
you will notice a piece of wall that is heavily cracked. Shoot at it until it
collapses.
Once the opening is formed head through and kill the Yakuza in the hidden room.
Hack into the computer and the data is sent to Ishikawa who contacts you to let
you know it is what they need. As soon as this happens your tachikoma out in
the think tank hanger will be under attack from four even stronger guards (in
white armour). Immediately head out into the think tank hanger where your
Tachikoma is being attacked and join the fight. The LMG-SAW can be quite useful
in this fight or alternatively you can pick up the ATRL that is in one of the
think tank bays. Once you have killed the guards a cutscene will play and the
mission will be complete.

Once the level start move on up the steps killing the enemies as you go. Once
you get to the third set of steps there is a building directly in front of you
and you can only go right. At this point strafe out from the top of the steps
and quickly kill the guy on the ground with the rocket launcher followed by the
guy on top of the shelter with a grenade launcher. Now move on and you will
notice a yellow and red striped market stall to your left. head down the side
of it and kill the enemy that jumps out from behind it. Once he is killed look
inside the stall and you will find the GOLD JAMESON. Once you have obtained the
jameson bonus continue round the back of the stall and u onto the raised fenced
area killing the enemy patrolling this area. Head to the opening between the
two buildings and be ready to quickly take out another yakuza with a rocket
launcher, once the enemies in this area have been killed a cutscene will play.
The tachikoma will not be able to fit through the doors and leaves you to find
another way.
Now head back to the gate next to the market stall collecting any health you
may need along the way and killing the handful of enemies that have
materialised. Once you head through the gate the next area will be loaded up
and a new objective 'Wipe Out Yakuza' will flash up. Head out of the ally and
you will see a gate to the right, which will remain locked until all the yakuza
are killed, and some steps to the left. Head up the steps to rejoin your
tachikoma and battle the yakuza. Once you have killed all the yakuza in this
area collect any health you may need as you are about to fight the first BOSS
in the game.
Once you have collected all the health head back the way you came. As you go
down the stairs you will be attacked by the final two yakuza. Kill them and the
gate will become unlocked. Once you go through another cadence will play.
------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Chiri + Henchman
------------------------------
The fight takes place in a very small area with very little cover. There are a
couple of health packs around if you do stat to get low on health.
I recommend using an automatic weapon for this fight and concentrating on the
henchman (Chiri is far more accurate and is the stronger enemy in this fight
avoid his attacks as best you can). If you are having trouble defeating them
try to keep behind the buildings and always use auto lock to target the enemy
then move out and let rip.
You can use a grenade launcher but because of the fiddly controls (the PSP
wasn't really designed with FPS's in mind) and lack of lock on you have to be
pretty accurate which is difficult when you are trying to avoid Chiri's
attacks.
Interestingly no matter who you attack the fight ends with the death of Chiri's
henchman. Once the henchman is dead you get a cutscene and Chiri escapes (but
not for long)

After the initial cutscene you will not be able to directly control your
Tachikoma who has to fight Chiri on its own. This can be a long battle and the
only thing you can do is use the Tachikoma control menu to get it to move to
certain points and control its fire order.
Once Chiri is dead you have to Chase after Sikari who has fled into the sewers.
move through the sewers killing the first few enemies until you reach the first
area with three set of doors (near point A on the map). As you come down the
set of stairs if you try the door on the right you will get a message saying
that the shutter controls may be on the other side. Keep this in mind and head
out of this area using the door that was directly in front of you as you came
down the steps. Now head to the end of the passageway and turn right then
immediately right again and you will go under a low passage. As you exit the
low section turn left and jump up onto the walkway and kill the enemies. There
will be a set of steps leading left and right ignore them and instead walk
straight ahead and drop back down into the water. If you turn left you will see
the GOLD JAMESON running around under another low passage. Once you have
obtained the Jameson Bonus jump back up onto the walkway with the steps. If you
look around you will see an electrical enclosure with three red lights on it.
You need to follow the cabling back to its origin and you will find the shutter
controls. When looking at the enclosure turn through 180 degrees and follow the
pathway up the steps and back down again keep going to the end of the walkway
and jut before you drop back down into the water turn right and you will find
the shutter control. Activate the control and heat back the way you came but
just before you reach the steps turn immediately left and you will be on the
other side of the shutter. Activate it and a cutscene will play.
Once the cutscene has finished the shutter will open and the Tachikoma will
join you. Now head back the way you cam and turn right and head over the steps
killing the new enemies that have appeared. head up the next set of steps and
turn right. As you approach the railings on the right there area a couple of
enemies on the other side that can attack you so kill them as one is wielding a
rocket launcher. Now head left down the steps then right kill the enemies
follow the passage around killing anything that moves and you will eventually
come to a set of steel doors. There are three yakuza on the other side of the
door so kill them quickly and move to the next set of doors which will open
automatically and there is on last yakuza on the other side waiting to be
slain. Once he is dead move through the door and a cutscene will play an the
level is complete.

Once the level starts keep following the road round killing all enemies you
encounter and you will quickly arrive at a black stretch limo. Once you have
reached it collect the papers and a cutscen will play. Watch the cutscene as it
shows you the door leading out of the area that you need to reach.
Once the cutscenehas finished follow the road back around in the direction you
came Killing the enemies as you go and heading over the wlakways whenever you
reach the first blockade of armoured vechicles. Continue on and you will reach
a fenced raod block. Kill the final two enemies here to obtain the door
passcode. Now head up the walkway to the left which will lead you to the door
through the building.
The next area will now load up and as you start Aramaki will warn you to watch
out for snipers (keep this in mind when moving throught the level). As you
start the level you will be on a platform with steps leading down to the left
and the right. Take the right hand set of steps and at the bottom follow the
passage around to the right and you will come across two enemies on the ground.
once you have killed tehm if you look up and around you will notice some of the
shutters on the higher floors of some buildings are open. This is where the
snipers are located.
As you head past the barrells where you killed the first two enemies look up at
the next building on the left and you can see the sniper. Once he has been
killed move on and you will notice a sniper up at a window in the grey building
in the distance. Once you have killed him carry on and turn left as you
approach the greay building. As you round the corner two enemies will jump down
of the roof eliminate them and move on. As you come to the main road at the end
of the buildings look up at the building in front of you to your left. There is
a sniper at the window kill him before he can get a shot off, there is also a
sniper directly opposite him in the building to your immediate right. Strafe
out into the main raod looking up at the window and you can kill him before he
even sees you.
The next sniper is located in the next building along on the left hand side of
the road, again if you move close to the buildings on the left whilst looking
up you should be able to get a lock on before he can even see you. There is
also one enemy on the ground who will rush towards you firing him if you are
stillaiming at the sniper your Tachikoma will probably take him out for you.
You have now killed all the Snipers and the Gold Jameson Will have appeared in
one of the windows. The easiest way to describe where to find it is to call up
the map and trace your route back to point 'B' on the map and look east. You
will see the GOLD JAMESON up in the window there is no way to get up there so
just take aim and destroy it. Now you have obtained the Jameson Bonus you can
trace back your steps to the main road and continue the level.
You are aiming to get to point 'C' on the map but before you go between the
buildings that lead down to the car park at point 'C' make sure you have full
health if you have lost any as you are about to take on your second boss fight.
As you pass between the buildings a short cutscene will play and you are then
unable to leave this are until the battle is over.
--------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Sikari & Seta (Battle 1)
--------------------------------------
For this battle you are again in a very small arena with limited cover. I found
the best tactic again was to ensure you take an LMG-SAW to the fight and keep
locked on and up close to Sikari and whenever she is in range let rip. The best
time to do this is when she stands still to aim with her anti material rifle to
avoid taking heavy damage make sure you are strafing around her whilst firing
so she has difficulty hitting you with any anti material shells. If you do take
some heavy damage there are a few health packs dotted around that should help.
As you are concentrating on Sikari the two Tachikomas will battle each other
and shouldn't bother you. Once the pair have taken enough damage a cutscene
will play and the pair will flee.

TACHIKOMA PARTS: ES-40 (Jameson Bonus)
This level is a tedious level as you can only move as fast as Aramaki as he
stops if you stray to far from his side.
The layout of the level is exactly the same as that in Mission 2.2. After a
short cutscene you will start on the upper floor of the station in one of the
waiting rooms. Head to Aramakis side and he will walk out of the room. As soon
as you pass through the door you will be attacked by two enemies. Kill them
quickly you need to make sure Aramaki does not sustain damage otherwise it will
make it more difficult at the end of the level where you have to leave him
unprotected for periods.
Aramaki will now double back alongside the waiting room. keep in front of
Aramaki and as you near the end of the building two enemies will come out of
the next waiting room along. They should be easy to quickly lock onto and kill.
Aramaki will now head between the first and second waiting rooms and pass along
the opposite side of the second waiting room. again make sure you are in front
of him. The next two enemies will appear from the open door on the train.
Aramaki will make his way along the same side of the third waiting room. The
next two enemies on this floor will come out of the third waiting room from the
rear doors and attack from behind so be ready to quickly kill them.
As Aramaki passes the end of the third waiting room you will be attacked by the
final two enemies on this floor. The closest will drop of the top of the
escalators and the furthest will appear from the distant train. Kill them and
follow Aramaki to the elevator and activate it.
The next area will load and you will be on the lower floor of the station.
Aramaki will move along the left hand platform. The first enemy will appear on
top of the front section of the first train on your right. He has a grenade
launcher so don't let him get a hit on Aramaki. Once he is dead you should move
ahead of Aramaki to the first opening in the side of the train. Just before you
get there aim towards the opening and strafe out to see the second enemy of the
level also holding a grenade launcher, you should be able to kill him before he
even spots you and well before Aramaki gets into his range. Once you have
killed him return to Aramaki and move along directly in front of him like a
human shield. As you again near the opening in the train a guard with an
assault rifle will jump out you should have no problems in killing him quickly.
The next guard will appear out of the building you are walking along the side
of once he is dead move forward towards the shutter with Aramaki to get e brief
cut scene that will show you the location of the controls to release the
shutter.
Aramaki will stay by the shutter and leave you to head off to the terminal.
Head all the way to the end of the platform alongside the train and jump down
onto the tracks. The terminal is on the wall between the end wall at point 'A'
on the map. As you near the terminal two enemies will appear on the tracks,
kill them and head to the terminal and activate it.
Head back to the platform the way you came and as you move back along the
platform kill the enemy with an assault rifle that runs towards you. Rejoin
Aramaki at the now open shutter and as you move into the next room an enemy
will come out of the building on the left. Once you have killed him head to the
end of the building and head through the door to find the GOLD JAMESON. Once
you have obtained the Jameson Bonus head out and rejoin Aramaki. As he reaches
the next shutter your next objective 'Open the second shutter' will pop up on
the screen.
Head back towards the first shutter you opened and the control on the wall just
inside the shutter will be highlighted. Activate it and you will get the
message 'Power supply for control is turned ON'. The control for shutter 2 that
it is referring to is at location 'B' on the map.
At this point I would recommend calling up the Tachikoma control menu and
selecting 'Wait there' from the Move Order menu. You will see why very soon.
Now head through the shutter and along the platform towards point 'B'
unhindered. As you get to the control and stand in front of it you will be
attacked from behind by two enemies with assault rifles. Quickly turn round and
using the column for cover lock onto them and kill them. Now return to the
control and activate it. Once the message 'Secondary shutter opened' is
displayed call up the Tachikoma control menu and order it to move to point C.
The next instruction displayed is 'Guard Aramaki to the ticket gate. Now
because the shutters are opened for some reason Aramaki Moves of on his own at
this point and as you are a considerable distance from him he will encounter
some of the enemies before you can rejoin him. Now if he has taken much damage
during the level he could be killed in this time, however as your Tachikoma is
by his side this will buy you some time to get back as although you are not
there he is still protected.
As you reach the second shutter the tachikoma will probably have killed all but
the last enemy who will appear from behind you as you reach the ticket gates.
Once he is dead a cutscene will start and the level will be complete.

As you start the level move off to your left and as soon as you come to the gap
between the first two storage sheds you will come across the first armed guard.
You will notice that the guards are more accurate in their aim and all are
wearing body armour. As you attack this guard another will start attacking you
from an elevated position to your right kill him and then the guard between the
containers after the second storage shed.
Move on through the gap between the two orange containers. Turn right around an
on top of the orange containers that were on your left is the first container
for you to search. You will need to get inside your Tachikoma to jump up onto
the containers. As you get on top of them there is a sniper in the distance
shooting at you. Lock onto him and kill him before he does to much damage. Once
he is dead hack into the security lock on the container and open it. You will
se s short cutscene as the Tachikoma tries to identify what the contents are
for and you will then receive the message check the other two containers.
Drop back down to the floor and head through the storage shed containing all
the yellow boxes. Turn right and stay behind the truck in front off you. There
are three guards waiting for you as you strafe out. Two are on the ground
directly in front of you and the third is a sniper on top of the containers up
ahead on the left. Once you have taken care of them move forwards. the
container on the left won't open even if you hack it so carry on past it and
turn the corner to the left. As you round the corner there is another guard so
be prepared to deal with him. Carry on pas the truck on your left and as you
come to the end of the truck you will find a guard who is wearing white body
armour. Once he is killed you will see the message 'shutter unlocked'. As you
walk out past the end of the truck the last guard in this area, who is
brandishing a grenade launcher, is up on top of a low roof to your left. Once
he is dead move on towards the building and you will see the shutter the
message referred to. As you walk up to the shutter it will open.
Inside this warehouse there are a number of guards both on the ground and on
top of containers. As you walk forwards you will notice a locked container that
you cannot unlock even if you hack into it. Don't worry about opening any of
the containers until you have killed all the guards in the area so move through
and kill the five guards in this area before looking for the containers you can
open. Once all the guards are dead you can locate the container. It is a blue
container that is on the left hand wall (relative to the door you came in
through). Once you have located it and hacked into it you have to find the last
one.
Head out of the warehouse and back the way you came as you round the right hand
corner there will be three guards on the ground and another on top of the truck
once you have killed them head towards the second truck in the distance. To the
back of the truck there is an orange frame. Head through it and kill the two
guards hiding behind the truck. At the end of the orange frame there is a lift.
Head up the lift to the platform above and head to the shutter at the end of
the platform. As you reach it the next area will be loaded.
You will start on top of another platform in the next area. At the end is a
lift. Drop down to the ground and you will find that you can only head round to
the left. As you move round you will notice the steps leading up to the fenced
container store. The door at the top is looked at the moment. Head pas the
steps and you will notice the route heads of to the right. Before you go down
there head past the green container on the left towards the dock edge. Just
behind the green container is the GOLD JAMESON. Once you have obtained the Gold
Jameson Bonus head back and down the path that is now on your left. as you
round the corner there is a guard. Move round the next bend and kill the next
guard. As you reach the end of the ally there is a doorway in the steel
shuttering (this doorway is too small for the Tachikoma to fit through). AS you
look out you will see a guard immediately in font of you kill him nd you will
notice another in the distance on top of the containers. Once he is dead move
into position to strafe out of the doorway facing to the right as there is a
guard on the steps that lead up to the fenced container holding area.
Once he is dead move up to the steps and into the fenced off area. Once inside
the door will lock and you will have to battle all the guards in this are for
them to be unlocked. There are five guards inside the fenced area and three
snipers outside. once they are all dead you can head to the door opposite he
one you cam in (that was locked at the beginning of this area) and let the
Tachikoma in. Now head across to the opposite side of this area an out the
opposite door (you cant open the container in the holding are even if you do
hack into it). As you reach the door there will be two last guards one on the
floor and one on the blue containers, in the distance, (your final goal) with a
rocket launcher. Once you have killed them move to the stack of blue containers
in the distance and open the last remaining container to get the cutscene and
the level will be complete.

TACHIKOMA PARTS: FM200 H (Jameson Bonus)
This mission can be very tough and the best way to beat it I have found its to
equip your Tachikoma with missile launchers all round (ML-3's on Pod mounts,
HML 120's on arm mounts and an ML-R1 on body mount) and fighting the whole
battle from inside the Tachikoma. Of course this is dependent on you having
been playing though each level as all characters up to this point to have
unlocked all these parts, if you haven't and are having trouble with this level
I would recommend you do so.
As soon as the level starts jump into the Tachikoma and wait for the first tank
to make its way out to the road. As soon as you have lock on and a clear shot
let of some missiles. Try not to let any obstacles get between you and the tank
otherwise you will waste missiles and trust me you are going to need them. Each
tank requires six clear hits to stop it. The best manoeuvre for the first tank
is to lock on and circle strafe letting of missiles whenever you can. Once it
has been defeated move into the museum grounds and take care of the second
tank. Once you have destroyed it you will get a brief cutscene and a Jigabachi
(AI Controlled attack helicopter) will appear to make things slightly more
difficult for you.
As the cutscene ends you will be back outside the museum grounds where the
level started. Get inside the tachikoma as quickly as you can. If you need some
health there are a couple of packs around the place collect them and then head
up to the top floor of the museum restaurant (if you look at the map it is the
top most building on the map. Once up there look behind the food counter to
find the GOLD JAMESON. Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus. Head out to
the balcony jump off and move back out to the road where you started the level.
Quickly lock onto the Jigabachi and let rip with your missiles Eight direct
hits will destroy it.

During the cutscene the conversation will hint at the simultaneous detonation
of the bombs. This is achieved as the first bomb planted will have a three
minute timer the second has a two minute timer and the third will have a one
minute timer. Therefore they need to be placed at the relevant points exactly
one minute apart.
As the level starts move towards the dead end ahead and head through the steel
doors on the right. in here you will find the RG-5 on top of some crates. As
you collect it a guard will appear at the doorway kill him and head down the
corridor now on your left. The corridor will turn left then right, as it turns
right there is another guard to take care of. Now head down past the steel
doors on the left hand side (there is some health in this room if you need it)
and the corridor turns right follow it as now turns left and left again. It now
takes a right and as you approach the next left there a three guards waiting in
front of an open shutter. Once you have dealt with them move forward (the room
behind the steel doors on the left just before the shutter contains some health
if you need it). Just past the shutter is a T-Junction where you can head left
or straight ahead.
Take the left hand route as you reach the first left hand turn in the corridor
a guard will attack. follow the corridor to the left then to the right and
right again. As you turn the second right you will see a set of steel doors in
front of you. They are protected by three guards once you have killed them move
towards the door as it opens you should notice a gun turret on the wall
directly opposite you. If you move into the room you will notice the security
panel where you need to plant one of the bombs. Don't plant it yet, instead
head back to the T-junction.
At the T-junction turn left and follow the corridor round. As you round the
first left hand coroner there will be another set of steel doors on the left
hand wall. Again these are protected by three guards. Once you have killed them
move to the doors. As they open lock onto the gun turret and destroy it. Now
follow the main corridor at the next right turn there is a guard patrolling.
Once he has been dealt with follow round to the left. At the next right hand
corner there is another guard patrolling. Once you have dealt with him follow
the corridor to the left as you reach the next left hand turn there is another
set of steel doors on the left hand wall an is protected by two guards. Once
you have dealt with them move to the doors and as they open lock onto the gun
turret on the left hand wall and destroy it.
Now you have cleared all the rooms. Move into the room and place the first
bomb. Once it has been placed the Tachikoma will babel some crap about the
number three. You will notice the timer on the left hand side of the screen.
You need to head back to the previous set of steel doors just back along the
corridor. As you head along a new guard will have appeared just before the
doors kill him and move into the room and wait at the security terminal and
place the bomb as the timer reaches two minutes.
Again the tachikoma will babel some crap after you have planted the bomb. Head
back to the intersection and take a right and head to the steel doors of the
first room you cleared. Head inside and wait for by the terminal for the timer
to reach one minute before placing the bomb. After you have placed the bomb
exit the room and wait for the timer to reach zero(if you head back to the T-
junction where the shutter was located you will see that it has shut and you
cant get out, Yet!).
Once counter reaches zero if you have placed the bombs correctly you will get
the message 'Explosion successful'. Now from the steel doors of the room you
just left head right and follow the corridor round to the right and continue
until you reach a dead end and the GOLD JAMESON (it will only be here if you
detonated all the bombs simultaneously). Once you have obtained the Jameson
Bonus head back to the T-junction and the shutter will now be open so head
right there will be new guards in the corridors so take care of them as you
make your way back to the door where you started the level. When you reach the
door hack the terminal to unlock the door and then unlock the door to get a
cutscene and the level is complete.

TACHIKOMA PARTS: IC-M350A2 (Mission Bonus – Togusa)
E-GL (Jameson Bonus)
This level can be quite frustrating and I found the best way to beat it is by
using a combination of getting the Tachikoma to stay on the lift for the middle
floors and working from inside the Tahcikoma on the top and bottom floors. The
reason for leaving the Tachikoma on the lift is to prevent it from taking a
whole load of, or even getting itself destroyed, and wasting ammo as you will
need it for the fight at the bottom of the training facility.
I personally would equip the Tachikoma with two repair packs on the pod mounts
(RP50C's), two missile launchers on the arm mounts (HML120's) and the Chain gun
on the body mount(CG200-RT). This will enable the Tachikoma to automatically
revive 100 Health points during the descent as all enemies in this area are
quick and accurate with their aim and can do a LOT of damage and there is
little cover on each of the elevator floors and there are no health packs until
you reach the bottom. The chain gun will enable you to quickly kill normal
enemies and the Missile launcher will help you no end in the final boss fight.
You will start the level on the top floor of the underground training facility
on the far side of the platform. As soon as the level starts quickly get inside
the Tachikoma and head round to the right (there is a break in the platform if
you head round to the left which it is possible to jump but only just and it is
likely you will fall to your death). There are two guards on the far side of
the platform so keep moving and jumping as you go and as soon as you can lock
onto them kill them to prevent you from taking to much damage. From a damage
point of view this is probably the hardest part of the level to avoid taking
any as there is no cover. As you move round to the lift you should have been
able to kill the guards.
Now that they are dead get onto the elevator and you will need to exit the
Tachikoma to activate the lift. As soon as it is active get back into the
Tachikoma, face the controls and reverse back up to the wall behind you. Just
after you have done this a guard will drop down onto the platform (you can hear
woosh sound of him falling just before he lands and you will be able to lock
onto him before he even reaches the lift. Once he is dead exit the Tachikoma
and use the control menu and give it the order to 'wait there'. I find it
easier to work round the floors in a counter-clockwise direction (relative to a
position at the back of the lift looking at the controls). So move over to the
left hand edge of the elevator and you should be able to make out the
containers/barrels and guards on the floor below, when you can make these out
clearly, even if you feel it is high, it is safe to jump and you will not
sustain any damage.
Once it is safe drop of the side of the elevator and as you are falling you can
lock onto the closest guard. As soon as you land kill him and continue moving
forward. The next enemy has no cover but is carrying a rocket launcher. Lock
onto him as you are moving and kill him. Continue moving round to the silver
container ahead. Just on the other side of this is a guard with a sniper rifle
so carefully strafe out and lock onto him and shoot. Now move round pas the
next green container and the final enemy of the floor is right by the elevator
with an assault rifle. kill him and drop back onto the lift (once floor down
two to go).
Move over to the right hand side of the elevator and again and look over the
edge. Once it is safe drop off an lock onto the closest enemy as you are
falling. Kill him as soon as you land and continue moving round to the silver
container. Use the container for cover and head to its right side. As you
strafe out you will see two enemies. The closest has a rocket launcher and the
farthest has a sniper rifle. Once they are dead strafe out to the left of the
container and you should see another guard by the silver container in the
distance with an assault rifle. Once he is dead move to the green containers
just in front of you and the last guard is just behind them with an assault
rifle kill him before he even sees you and head back to the elevator and drop
onto it.
Again move over to the right hand side of the elevator and look over the edge.
Once it is safe drop off an lock onto the closest enemy as you are falling.
Kill him as soon as you land and continue moving round to the first green
container. Strafe out and you will see two guards both have sniper rifles.
Shoot them and continue to move round to the next set of containers. The final
guard on this floor is located behind these armed with an assault rifle. Once
he is dealt with head back and drop onto the lift.
Once back on the lift get into the Tachikoma (at this point make sure the chain
gun is selected and not a missile launcher). Now move to the LEFT hand side of
the elevator as it is easier to move in a clockwise direction around the bottom
floor. Look over the edge and once safe drop to the floor and as you fall lock
onto the closest guard. As you land kill him and move behind the containers to
use them as cover from the guard on the mezzanine level with a rocket launcher.
As soon as you are behind them, there is a guard on the ramp leading up to the
mezzanine level directly in front of you. Once he is killed quickly move up the
ramp and around the mezzanine level (do not stop or you will get hit by a
rocket). As you near the guard with the rocket launcher you will notice a
concrete post. Use this as cover and lock onto the guard. Now strafe out and
kill him quickly. Once he is dead move back down to the lower floor and locate
and kill the last guard.
With him dead work your way round and collect the health Packs as you will no
doubt need them (Ensure that whatever character you are using has some health
as you are about to open the large steel doors and as soon as you do you will
be attacked from behind by a guard who appears from nowhere).
Once you have collected all the health head for the large steel doors on the
lower floor. Unfortunately you will have to get out of the Tachikoma to open
them. as soon as you do get back into the Tachikoma as quickly as you can an
kill the guard who has appeared behind you. With him dead move through the
doors and kill the guard in this room. The last guard you need to now kill is
coming down the ramp from the mezzanine level in the main room. Move out and
kill him quickly. With all the guards dead move into the room you just opened
and head for the red shutter at the back. As you approach a cutscene will play
and as you go to leave and Armed Suit will drop down the shaft and start to
attack.
-------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Armed Suit (Blue)
-------------------------------
As soon as the cutscene has finished quickly get back into the tachikoma and
head back into the small room with the steel doors. This room offers you all
the cover you need as the armed suit will not be able to hit you with any
attacks whilst you are hidden in here.
First thing to do is to enter the weapons menu and select one of the missile
launchers. Now strafe out into the doorway and lock onto the armed suit. Ensure
you have a clear line of fire and let off a couple of missiles before moving
back to a covered position. Repeat this a few times and as the armed suit does
not have strong armour you will bring it down. Now a bit of advice, don't get
too trigger happy with the missiles as you only have a limited supply and you
must make sure that you have a clear shot to achieve a direct hit (I think it
takes Six direct hits to bring the armed suit down)
Now with the armed suit destroyed the level is still far from complete. You
need to make your way back up to the mezzanine floor follow it round to the
door way at the end. The next area will now load.
The final area is a stairwell leading back to the very top of the facility that
is heavily guarded. Rather than give you a turn by turn account just move up
the stairs keeping an eye out for guards and taking them out as soon as you can
get lock on. I tend to stay inside the tachikoma and use the Chain gun to kill
the guards. Watch out for breaks in the stairs and snipers sitting on pipework
over the centre of the shaft as they will spot you when you are on the floor
below them. There are also a couple of guards that sit on crates as you near
the top that have rocket launchers.
When you pass approximately half way up the stairs you may notice the GOLD
JAMESON drop down the middle of the shaft. At this point if you head all the
way back down to the bottom of the stairs killing the guards advancing from
below and you will find it (if you don't see it drop don't worry as you will
know when to go back down as a couple of guards will move up the stairs behind
you to attack just eliminate them and return to the bottom). Once you have
obtained the Jameson Bonus resume the climb to the top. Once you approach the
door at the top a cutscene will play and the level will be complete (finally!)

TACHIKOMA PARTS: BK200 (Mission Bonus – Batou)

This level should be tackled from inside the Tachikoma for a much easier
victory. Equip the Tachikoma with missile launchers all round (ML-3's on Pod
mounts, HML 120's on arm mounts and an ML-R1 on body mount). The quickest and
easiest way to victory is to Pick one tank at a time and concentrate on it.
The majors speech at the beginning referring to brute force alone not being
enough is a hint. Once each tank has taken five direct hits from you missile
launcher it's electronics will be crippled. This is signified by electronic
sparking around the tank. It can still fire its weapons but you will be able to
hack into it and disable it. Bearing in mind it can still fire its weapons wait
for it to pause firing as it reloads then speed up to it in the Tachikoma and
jump out of the Tachikoma and up onto the tanks head. Once there quickly hack
into it and the tank will be disabled. I recommend that as soon as the level
starts before you get into the Tachikoma you give it the order to 'hold fire'
otherwise when you leave the Tachikoma and are on top of a tank trying to hack
into it the tachikoma may still launch missiles at it which will keep
interrupting your hacking.
When you need health enter any of the buildings dotted around this level and
pick some up as there is plenty of it around. If you find you have been a bit
too trigger happy with you missiles you can find both missile launchers and
rocket launchers for your character to pick up in these buildings alongside the
health packs. However moving on foot is more risky as you are slower than the
Tachikoma and you don't have as much armour meaning you are easier to target
and have less armour.
Once you have disabled two of the three tanks and the third one has had its
electronics crippled don't hack into the last tank instead you should go for
the GOLD JAMESON which is down in the trenches in the floor you may have
noticed. If you call up the map this is the easiest way to describe where it
is. Locate point 'C' on the map, which is inside a building. The Gold Jameson
is located in a trench that runs by the North-West corner of this building.
Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus rejoin your tachikoma and head for the
last Think tank, collect any health you may need on the way then hack into the
tank to disable it. You will now get a cutscene and the level will be complete.

You start the level in some service corridors follow them round to the set of
double doors and head though out into the bases main corridors. Head up to the
next set of double doors. On the other side is a large room containing three
guards, two with machine guns and the third with a grenade launcher. Kill them
and head to the set of double doors at the end of the room. There is a sentry
canon on the ceiling just on the other side of the door so be ready to lock
onto is and destroy it quickly. There is another on the ceiling just to the
left of the door which you can also see without going through the doorway,
ensure both are destroyed before moving out into the corridor. Move straight
ahead along the corridor and kill any guards you come across. You will
eventually come to a T-junction. You want to head right here but to make things
a bit easier for you to stun General Kusomoto as he runs first turn left and
kill the guard patrolling the corridor. Now head back to the T-junction and
head straight across. The general should be just around the next right hand
corner, Your objective is to stun him so be ready with your stun weapon.
If he isn't then head through the door on the right just in front of the
security gates and follow your way round through the corridors and rooms it is
tedious but you will eventually come across him. If this does happen leave your
Tachikoma at the T-junction and give it the 'Wait there' and 'Hold fire' orders
it will them let you know when Kusomoto passes it (I've located the enemy!) but
won't open fire and accidentally kill him. As far as I can tell Kusomoto
follows a set route so you will eventually find him.
Once he is stunned you will get a cutscene and no matter where you actually
stunned him you will be at a T-junction where all the security shutters will
drop and Kusomoto will be loaded into the Tachikoma. As you now have the
general you can open doors that require 'General Bio Data' for security access.
As the cutscene finishes there is only one way for you to go so head in that
direction. Just around the corner there are two automatic sentries on the
walls. Once you have dealt with them two guards will approach from behind kill
them and then continue along the corridor. When you see the set of double doors
in front of you there is a right hand turn there are two sentries mounted on
the wall here once they are destroyed two more guards will approach from behind
and three will make their way out of the large room behind the double doors.
Once you have killed all of them collect the health in the large room and head
back to the corridor and continue along. Around the next corner there is
another ceiling mounted sentry. Once destroyed head along the corridor and you
will se that there is a shutter blocking the corridor down to the right. There
is a door just before the turning that has a green access light meaning you can
enter. Be careful as there are two guards inside this tiny room and they both
have rocket launchers (they must want a lemming award real bad!). Once they are
dead move into the room and collect the health pack but before you hack the
computer move to the other door and on the other side is another guard who was
ready to burst in as you turn your back on the door and hack the computer so
kill him now before you return to the computer.
With the computer now hacked the security shutter will be released and the
tachikoma can now pass through. I would now Give the Tachikoma a 'Wait there'
order and follow the corridor around alone as there are three sentries round
the next corner and the Tachikoma has a habit of getting hit by all of them.
once all of the sentries have been destroyed head down the corridor. As you get
about halfway along one final guard with a rocket launcher will sneak up behind
so be ready to kill him. Now move on to the doors at the end of the corridor
and head through. The next area will now load.
You will start in an underground complex of corridors kind of like a mine. Move
down the corridor and as you come to the steel door on your left it will open
and a guard will burst through. There are two more guards behind this door in
the corridor. Once they are all dead collect the health and head through the
door and along the next corridor. As you reach the right hand turn there is a
door to your left there is one guard in there. Kill him, collect the health
pack and resume your travel though the corridor to the next door.
As you approach the next door you will get a cutscene and Sikari and Seta will
attack you.
--------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Sikari & Seta (Battle 2)
--------------------------------------
Use the same tactics as the first battle with Sikari and Seta. Once they have
taken enough damage they will retreat and you will get another short cutscene.
With the battle over move around the room and collect any health you need. Now
head up to the mezzanine level and kill the guard up there and return to the
lower floor. Locate the elevator control and activate it. Once you have
activated it the door you entered this area through will open and two guards
will enter. Once you have eliminated them move up to the mezzanine level and
send the elevator down for the Tachikoma. Once the Tachikoma is on the elevator
call it back up. Once the Tachikoma is on the mezzanine level give it the order
to 'Wait there'. Now head to the doors just before the elevator. There is a set
of steps on the other side and halfway up there is a guard with a sniper rifle.
Quickly lock onto him and kill him before he an shoot at you. Now as you start
up the steps the door at the top will open and another guard with a machine gun
will start down the stairs. Quickly lock onto him and kill him. Now return to
the halfway point on the stairs where another branch slopes down to below.
Follow this down and as you come to the first right hand bend there is a guard
just around the corner with a grenade launcher. Kill him and keep heading down.
When you reach the bottom it appears as though it is just a dead end. But
whilst facing the dead end you may notice that the wall to your right has a lot
of cracks and damage. Shoot at it and it will collapse revealing a secret room.
This room contains a health pack and the GOLD JAMESON. Once you have obtained
the Jameson Bonus head back out of the room and there will be a guard waiting
just outside for you. Once you have Dealt with him move up to the steps and
continue to the door at the top where the guard came through earlier.
As you go though the door there is a guard standing to your right under an
archway. Kill him and as you head over to the archway another two guards will
appear. after dealing with them carry on through the archway and you will reach
a set of doors. Inside the room there is one guard some health and a rocket
launcher if you should want it. Once you have colleted what you want from the
room head back the way you cam and along the corridor in the other direction.
As you reach the end there is a right hand turn. There is one guard around the
corner kill him and head though the doors on your right hand side. You will
enter a large are with a deep shaft with walkways around the edges. Around the
walkways there are Four guards. Two of which have Sniper rifles. Once they are
all dead call for your Tachikoma to join you. Now head around the right hand
walkway. As you reach the far side of the room you will notice a patch of
cracked and damaged wall shoot it and it will collapse revealing you way out.
As you head down the corridor towards the door one last guard will follow you
from behind with a rocket launcher make sure he doesn't kill you or the
Tachikoma then head for the door at the end of the corridor to get a cutscene
and the level is complete.

The first part of this level is another one of the boring escort levels of the
game. Your first objective is to locate the workers. Call up the map and locate
point 'A' this is where the workers are located. Head down to point 'A' killing
all enemies as you go. All are either carrying machine guns or assault rifles.
Once you have located the workers you will get a brief cutscene and you will
now need to escort and protect them. You need to now move off to point's' on
the map. As you make your way back round to point 'B' stay just in front of the
workers to protect them from enemy fire. As you get closer to pont 'B' you will
notice a green light on its own on a wall. As you near it you will get another
brief cutscene telling you they need to activate the power supply for the door
adjacent to the light to open. Once the cutscene is over continue to point 'B'.
As you get very near to point 'B' there will be a couple of enemies with rocket
launchers and some are hidden down side alleys so keep your eyes open and kill
them quickly. Once you reach point 'B' the workers will activate the power
supply.
You now have to return to the door with the green light on the wall by it. Kill
any enemies that have appeared in the mean time to protect the work crew. when
you get to the door open it an go through. The Workers will follow you though
into the new area but the tachikoma cannot get through the small door. Once on
the other side move to the other end of this new area and the work crew will
activate the next power supply and enable you to open the locked door.
Head though this door and into the next area there are four enemies in this
area. Two with grenade launchers and two with assault rifles. Once you move
into the area the Tachikoma will open a set of doors on the right hand side and
make its way in to join the fight. Once you have killed all enemies head back
and get the repair crew. They will run straight through towards the shutter and
a cutscene will play the next area will now load and you will be out on the
road on the other side of the shutter.
Once the cutscene has finished you will have to find Hirumas car. If you look
on the map it is on the road just after you pass under the bridge before point
'C'. As you move ahead there are two guards on the ground with assault rifles
and another on top of a truck with a sniper rifle. Once you have killed them
continue northwards. There is another sniper at the top of the steps leading up
to the footbridge and a guard on the ground with an assault rifle. Once you
have dealt with them head up the steps to the top of the footbridge and look
north to see yet another sniper on top of another truck kill him and head for
the car just behind the truck. Once you get to the car open it and a cutscene
will play.
Once the cutscene has finished I suggest going to find the GOLD JAMESON robot
that will now be on top of the truck that the first sniper was on. head back
along the road and there will be two enemies on the ground one with an assault
rifle and one with a sniper rifle. Once you have killed them head for the first
truck in this area. Jump up onto the roof and you will find the GOLD JAMESON.
Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus. Head back to the footbridge and cross
it to the last area of the level.
There are four guards on the other side of the bridge once they are all dead
you will get the message 'Door unlocked' The door is the one under the green
strip light on the wall in this area. Head through into the corridor lit by red
lights and move to the door at the other end. a cutscene will play showing you
what's on the other side of the door. There are three enemies in the room and
as soon as you open the door two more will appear outside in the courtyard to
attack from behind. two of the three in the room have assault rifles and one
has a grenade launcher, the two outside both have assault rifles. All are hard
as nails and take a lot of hits with automatic weapon fire to kill. Once they
are all dead a cutscene will play and the level is complete.

MISSION 6.2
=============
LOCATION: Berutarube Exclusive District
TYPE: Sub Mission
OBJECTIVE: Hurry to the high-rise district and stop the think-tanks
WEAPONS AVAILABLE: ATRL R
TACHIKOMA PARTS: MRL-C (Mission Bonus – Batou)
EQ1000 (Jameson Bonus)
The tactics for this level are pretty much the same as for Mission 5.3. Except
there is less health dotted around and the level is very confined.
Quickly get into the Tachikoma as the level starts and head over to the truck
just in front of you for cover. Now relative to the position of facing the
truck move to the building on your left. There is an alcove about halfway along
with a health pack in. From here select one of your right hand missile
launchers and strafe out. You should now have a clear shot between the building
and the footbridge steps to attack the rightmost tank. Once it has had its
electronics crippled. Get out of the Tachikoma and call it to be with you
whilst remaining in the alcove. As it comes into the alcove give it the 'Wait
there' and 'Hold fire' order to prevent it from getting in the way as you hack
into the now disabled think tank. Once the think tank pauses to reload rush up
to it and jump up onto its head and hack into it to disable it. With this done
return to the tachikoma.
Now move over to the truck and use it for cover and from this position use
exactly the same tactic on the second think tank. Once it has been disabled I
would suggest Locating the GOLD JAMESON.
Head up the footbridge above the truck you have been using for cover and look
over to the right in the direction of the last think tank and you should notice
the GOLD JAMESON on top of the archway over the entrance of one of the
buildings. Take aim and destroy it. Once you have obtained the Jameson Bonus
head back to the alcove and get into the Tachikoma.
Now head out and destroy the last think tank using the same tactics as before.
It stays in the same area circling the central building so use this for cover.
Once it has been disabled you will get a cutscene and the level will be
complete.

The final level for this level I recommend equipping your Tachikoma with
missile launchers on both arms and pods and using the chain gun on the body
mount (ML-3's on Pod mounts, HML 120's on arm mounts and an CG200-RT on body
mount). I tackle this level from inside the tachikoma for the most part. But
would suggest also taking an SRML in one of the character weapon slots just in
case.
The level will start with a Battle in the car park.
------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Sikari & Seta (Final battle)
------------------------------------------
As soon as the level starts get into the Tachikoma and ensure the body
mount/Chain gun is selected. As with every other encounter of these two
concentrate fire on Sikari whilst keeping up close and personal as it will not
give her time to aim in most cases.
Before you go to far in this battle you should make your way round to the left
hand side of the hotel (relative to a position looking at the front of the
hotel) and you will find an open door head down the steps to find the GOLD
JAMESON. Once you have obtained the Jameson bonus return to battling Sikari &
seta. Interestingly once you have hit Sikari enough times Seta will be still be
destroyed.
A cutscene will now play and you will now find yourself inside the hotel lobby.
You will not be able to return to the car park which is why you had to get the
Jameson Bonus before the battle with Sikari and Seta ended.
From the position you start in the lobby head to the farthest right hand corner
and open the front door to let the Tachikoma in. As you cross the lobby there
will be three enemies in your way one of which will have a rocket launcher.
Once you have killed them and let the Tachikoma in get inside the Tachikoma and
ensure the chain gun us selected from the weapons menu. Now move through the
lobby and kill all enemies. Once they are all dead a cutscene will play and
three white Armed Suits will smash their way into the lobby.
-------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE – Three white Armed Suits
-------------------------------------
At this point you should head for the area at the back of the lobby where all
the tables and chairs are it is directly in front of you at the cutscene starts
and is located at point 'A' on the map.
There is only one way into this are and it is a bottle neck. You can therefore
use it to your advantage by drawing the armed suits into this area one by one
and letting rip with your missile launcher as they do whilst maintaining
sufficient distance and cover. There is also enough health packs out here to
help you if you do take some heavy damage. Each of the Armed Suits will take
three direct hits to bring them down. Once all three have been destroyed the
final cutscene will play and you have completed the game.

6. UNLOCKABLES [RNVI]
===============================================================================
After successfully completing the game you will unlock both the movie viewer
and the Tachikoma Mini Game.
===============================================================================
7. OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION [RNVII]
===============================================================================
+ Dual versions of the standard handguns are available by starting a level with
ONLY a single handgun in your inventory i.e. the handgun and two empty slots.
You don't have to use only the handgun for the level and you can pick up other
guns and use them during a level and this will not have any effect on you being
awarded the dual version on successful completion of the mission
+ To obtain weapons that you don't have during a level all you need do is pick
them up and have them in your inventory as the level ends. You don't have to
actually physically have them in you hand as the level ends they need ONLY BE
IN YOUR INVENTORY
+ Most of the weapons are only available as bonuses, see the main body of the
FAQ for details on what weapons can be unlocked in what levels
+ If you are having particular trouble at beating a level try taking it on from
inside a Tachikoma equipped with lots of fire power. Some levels are very
difficult and not to mention frustrating to beat without taking advantage of
the Tahcikoma
+ Always use lock on to target and kill enemies. The PSP's controls don't make
it particularly easy to play FPS games and as such it can be very irritating if
you don't use the lock on system

I would also like to thank whoever posted the original gold jameson list
because without it I would not have found the Gold Jameson in Missions 3.2 &
5.2. I know it has been posted more recently by AJB2K3 but I am not sure if
AJB2K3 was the original poster. If AJB2K3 can confirm if they were the original
poster or who was then I will amend the acknowledgement.
