--------------------------------------
Piece of conversation in the game to let you know what you're dealing with :
"My God !! Syphon Filter! It's ...... "
"Yes, it's quite remarkable. A virus genetically programmable to eliminate
anyone or anything. Imagine a weapon that can target specific demographics,
ethnic groups that can wipe out the whole continents, except for those chosen to
survive....."
Syphon Filter is a mission-based action game. You're Gabriel Logan, a covert
operative agent, trying to chase Erich Rhoemer the terrorist who is threatening
the world with the 'ultimate' syphon filter virus. In his mission, Gabriel is
capable of using many weapons, including : silenced 9mm, M-16 machine gun, .45
gun, sniper rifle, night vision rifle, etc. Gabriel can sneak, climb ledges, go
down ledges, contact your friend with radio, roll, and so much more.
The animation is so fluid. Maybe this is the first game where your character is
able to move his waist ^_^. The background is so interactive. Try to shoot the
wall and you will see a hole on the wall. Shoot a window and the window will
break and make ways. Run in the snow and you will see your footsteps.
The action is very tense in this game. Terrorists are everywhere, and are
equipped with different weapons. The terrorists seems to be smarter in later
stages, thus makes them harder to kill. Kill them and you can get the weapons
they left. There is a critical target point on the enemy's body, which is :
Shoot him in the head for a sure kill. Furthermore, you will need your brain to
survive. Sneak carefully in the darkness, crouch, equip your nightvision rifle,
aim to the enemy's head, and...BOOM (get the picture ??).
The enemy's AI is very good, for example : if you miss the shot, the enemy will
try to find who shot him. If an enemy is dead near another enemy, this person
will try to look for his friend's killer. Throw a grenade and the enemies will
spread out and move away from the grenade. That's why you should not make many
mistakes and be wise to choose which weapon to use.
There are several types of mission, such as : stealth mission (where you should
not be detected at all), infiltration (can be detected, but the enemy will sound
the alarm to make the situation hairy), or timed mission (you have to finish the
task on certain times). There are boss stages in this game, and they're quite
good.
Many people compare this game to Metal Gear Solid, as they have the same type of
gameplay and similar stories. Lots of people call this game a MGS's clone.
Personally, I DON'T think that this game is MGS clone, because it comes out only
4-5 months after MGS. It means that this game is made at the same time Konami
made MGS. As you know, I wrote MGS FAQ, too - I played these two games A LOT. If
you ask me which game is better, I say that each games has their own pros and
cons - and my advice is : buy them both - you won't be sorry because these two
games are the BEST action game that I ever played. And NO DOUBT ABOUT IT !!
This is my third FAQ after Metal Gear Solid and Hard Edge:The Disaster Adventure
(import). The first time I saw this game, I immediately fell in love. Played it
all day and night, then I decided to make the FAQ for this wonderful game. Takes
about one week to finish it. It is really a hard work because I want to make the
FAQ as complete as possible. I will update this FAQ if there's something new.
If you have any question, suggestion, or information, e-mail me on
goblic@hotmail.com or rudy-h@psxrocks.com. I'll try my best to help.

########## 4. LOGAN'S MOVES LIST ###########
----------------------------------------------
Gabe has lots of moves in this game. You have to master the control to survive
the mission.
+++ Basic Moves +++
Direction pad : move your character.
Square : to shoot the equipped weapon
X : to crouch
O : to roll
Triangle : to interact with the environment, such as : open doors, pull
switches, etc.
L1 : to aim the shot
R1 : to target lock an enemy
L2 : to strafe left
R2 : to strafe right
Start : to the character screen
Select : to change weapons
Select + DPad : to choose which weapon to use without stopping the game.
Tap D, D : to turn your body 180 degrees.
+++ While holding the Aim Button (L1 button) +++
Direction pad : move the crosshair.
Square : to shoot
Triangle : to zoom in (for sniper rifles)
O : to zoom out (for sniper rifles)
L2 : to sidestep a little bit to the left
R2 : to sidestep a little bit to the right.
+++ While in front of the ledge +++
Triangle : grab the ledge
After grabbing, you can do this :
DPad Up : to climb the ledge.
DPad Down : to climb down the ledge.
Dpad Left or right : to move left or right while hanging.
+++ While on the ledge +++
Hold X, press up : climb down the ledge
Looks easy, right ?? ...... NOT AT ALL !! Here's why : To kill enemies in later
levels, you have to hold and press several buttons at once, such as : target
locking the enemy, crouching, and side stepping and shooting at the same time
(Hold R1, R2, X, and press Square to shoot), then do that to another enemy
(Release R1 and R2, then hold R1 again without releasing X, then press R2 to
side stepping again, then press Square).....Get the picture ?? Furthermore,
there are enemies that you have to kill with the aim button (L1) and you have to
do it fast before the enemy sees you.
So all I can say is : Practice, Practice, and More Practice.
___________________________________________________
########## 5. WEAPONS AND ITEMS LIST ###########
---------------------------------------------------
There are few types of weapons in the game. They are : guns, shotguns, machine
guns, rifles, grenades, and misc. Fire rate score ranges from 1 to 5, 1 is the
slowest and 5 is the fastest. Damage score ranges from 1 to 5, 1 is the weakest
and 5 is the strongest.
+++ GUNS +++
1. Silenced 9mm Handgun
Stats : Fire Rate 3
Damage 2
Clip Size 15
Max Rounds 90
The 9mm handgun is the standard issue side-arm for NATO and all five branches of
the U.S. Armed Forces since passing the 1979 MRBF (Mean Rounds Before
operational Failure) performance test where it expended 35,000 rounds, six times
the gun's service life.
NOTE : this is one of your first primary weapons. Not suitable when fighting
multiple enemies because it's not so powerful. The advantage of this weapon is
that this weapon is equipped with silencer, so you can use this weapon in the
stealth missions. The aim function of this gun is quite useful, although you
cannot zoom in or out.
2. .45 Handgun
Stats : Fire Rate 2
Damage 3
Clip Size 10
Max Rounds 60
This tough, durable gun has been in production for almost a century. It has
tremendous stopping power, and in spite of its strong recoil and heavy slide and
bolt, it is a deadly weapon in the hands of a seasoned professional.
NOTE : This weapon is quite good, despite its fire rate. You can kill with just
one body-shot if you do it right.
+++ SHOTGUNS +++
1. Shotgun
Stats : Fire Rate 2
Damage 4
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds 25
The 12-gauge modified choke shotgun is standard issue for the DEA, FBI and USSS.
In firing tests using tactical 00 shot with nine lead on an ISCP regulation
target at 25 yards, the payload was delivered into the "A" kill zone with
limited collateral damage.
NOTE : Shotgun is really strong. Shoot them and you can see the enemy taking a
heavy impact to the back. The problem is the reload time - it's very slow. You
have to reload everytime you shoot. Suitable for close range and quick killing.
Not suitable for multiple enemies with flak jackets.
2. Combat Shotgun
Stats : Fire Rate 2
Damage 4
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds 30
The overly heavy recoil of this 12-gauge shotgun is more than compensated for by
its unparalleled stopping power and its recoil-inertia operation which is
significantly faster than the gas-operated system found in most auto-loading
shotguns.
NOTE : This is a better version of shotgun. It's more powerful, and a little bit
faster, even though the stats look similar.
+++ MACHINE GUNS +++
1. HK-5 Pistol-Machine Gun
Stats : Fire Rate 4
Damage 3
Clip Size 32
Max Rounds 192
The HK-5's modular design and small size make it very popular with both military
special forces and terrorists. With more than 23 officially recognized variants,
it is fast becoming the most widely used pistol-machine gun in the world.
NOTE : Quite useful for dealing with multiple enemies. Running around and
shooting is the best way to use this.
2. G-18 Pistol-Machine Gun
Stats : Fire Rate 5
Damage 2
Clip Size 33
Max Rounds 198
With a rate of fire topping 60 rounds per second, the G-18 is perhaps the most
deadly pistol-machine gun in the world. Its only weakness is its tendency to
expend ammunition faster than most shooters are prepared for, leaving them
defenseless during a reload.
NOTE : Quite good, but the ammo runs out quickly. So I don't use it a lot.
3. BIZ-2 Pistol-Machine Gun
Stats : Fire Rate 4
Damage 3
Clip Size 66
Max Rounds 396
This pistol-machine gun is designed to deliver sustained firepower in tight
quarters. The unconventional design of its large-capacity magazine keeps the
weapon compact but still provides a near bottomless source of ammunition.
NOTE : Wow... this is an excellent weapon, but you can only find it on later
stages (15+). The fire rate is fast, and the damage is really good.
+++ ASSAULT RIFLES +++
1. M-16 Assault Rifle
Stats : Fire Rate 4
Damage 2
Clip Size 30
Max Rounds 180
This low-recoil weapon is lightweight and accurate. Developed by the U.S. Army
in 1965, this assault rifle has since become a mainstay for armed forces, police
and personal defense enthusiasts.
NOTE : you will find this weapon in earlier level. Don't like it and rarely use
it.
2. K3G4 Assault Rifle
Stats : Fire Rate 4
Damage 2
Clip Size 20
Max Rounds 120
The deadly K3G4 is commonly armed with Teflon coated bullets capable of cutting
through most standard-issue flak jackets like a hot knife through butter.
NOTE : This is one of the best weapons in the game !! These bullets can go
through the flak jacket. So you can kill the enemies as if they're not wearing
any flak jacket. Furthermore, you can pick up the enemy's flak jacket when
they're dead.
3. PK-102 Assault Rifle
Stats : Fire Rate 4
Damage 2
Clip Size 30
Max Rounds 180
A variant of the popular Vokinhsilak system (one of the most widely used and
modified designs in the world), the PK-102 is a compact, lightweight full
assault rifle that is easy to conceal, making it a popular choice for
terrorists.
NOTE : you will get this weapon a lot in a few mission. In fact, all of the
enemy in mission 8 use this, so you won't be afraid of the bullets. I rarely use
this, but I find it very useful to face the chopper.
+++ SNIPER RIFLES +++
1. Sniper Rifle
Stats : Fire Rate 2
Damage 2
Clip Size 10
Max Rounds 30
This high-caliber, silenced rifle comes equipped with a classified digital scope
with basic optical character recognition, making it a highly accurate weapon
capable of identifying and classifying human targets and impact points prior to
firing.
NOTE : As head-shot becomes my style in playing this game, sniper rifle is one
of my most favourite weapons. The binoculars can zoom in to make an accurate
head-shot. Good for sneaking mission.
2. Nightvision Rifle
Stats : Fire Rate 2
Damage 2
Clip Size 10
Max Rounds 30
Often used by Russian Army snipers, this Russian rifle is capable of extreme
accuracy. It excels in engaging fleeting, moving, open and masked single
targets. This model comes standard equipped with an SVDN2 night sight and
silencer.
NOTE : This weapon is similar to the sniper rifle, but it has night vision
bunocular on it. So you can see the enemies easily in the dark environment. Use
it to shoot the terrorists, but it's not suitable for shooting lamps and other
stuff, because you can hardly see the 'non-living' things in this binocular. I
can't say which gun is better (NVR or Sniper Rifle) because they have their own
advantages and I use them both.
+++ GRENADES +++
1. Grenade
Stats : Fire Rate 1
Damage 5
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds 10
Upon detonation, this incendiary weapon spreads ammonium perchlorate three
meters outwards from the blast point. It is instantly ignited by the explosion
and quickly burns out, fatally burning anyone nearby but leaving little
collateral damage.
NOTE : Even though this weapon is an instant killing weapon, grenades are not
good to use. Activating the grenade takes a long time, and it takes time for the
grenade to explode. The enemy uses this time to spread out, thus the grenade
can't hurt them.
2. Gas Grenade
Stats : Fire Rate 1
Damage 5
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds 10
Primarily used as a stealth weapon against multiple targets, this grenade
releases trace amounts of Soman nerve agent into the air. The gas quickly
dissipates, but not before rendering victims unconscious. If no antidote is
administered, death follows within 15 minutes.
NOTE : This is one of the most useful weapons (and one of my favourite, too).
With this grenade, you can kill enemies in group. As you know if you head-shot
someone in a group, his friend will notice you and try to kill you. Imagine that
happens on stealth mission. The good part is : this is a stealth weapon. The
lowdown is that you cannot use this on confront mission because it's so slow.
3. M-79 Grenade Launcher
Stats : Fire Rate 1
Damage 5
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds 10
This single-barreled, break-action grenade launcher was developed during the
Vietnam War. Commonly referred to as the "Blooper", it fires 40mm HE grenades
that contain enough explosives to produce more than 300 fragments with a lethal
radius of up to five meters.
NOTE : This is an excellent weapon. The grenade launcher is much faster than
grenade and explodes upon impact. Great range of explosion make this weapon is
one of the most useful weapon. But it is only suitable in long range and cannot
use this on close range or you will caught the explosion yourself.
+++ MISC. +++
1. Taser
Stats : Fire Rate 1
Damage 5
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds Infinite
Using CO2 cartridges, this weapon fires a probe that lodges one inch deep in the
victim's body. Then a charge of 500,000 volts is passed along a wire connecting
the weapon to the probe. This charge can be sustained indefinitely until a
victim catches fire.
NOTE : This is my favourite weapons in the earlier stage. It has unlimited ammo
and can be used in stealth mission. Don't underestimate this taser - this baby
can zap a person from a long distance. Basically, if you can see the man, you
can zap him ^_^. When other games uses knife as the standard equipment, taser
adds a nice touch on this game. Oh yeah, be careful when you use this. If the
enemy burns, you have to wait until the fire stops before you pick up his weapon
or you will die. That's why don't zap a person when he's close.
2. C4 Explosives
Stats : Fire Rate N/A
Damage 5
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds N/A
These incendiary blocks are made of a putty-like material which can be molded to
the user's liking. The C4 explosive putty is then wired to a fuse and a friction
igniter, allowing the user to detonate the explosive from a distant or protected
position.
NOTE : This is a special type kind of weapon. You are not able to get it from
the enemy. You use this weapon on certain places. C4 is only for blowing things
on the mission, and you cannot use this on the enemy. Lame.
+++ NON-WEAPON ITEM +++
1. Flashlight
Stats : Fire Rate N/A
Damage N/A
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds N/A
Standard equipment for all agency operatives, this flashlight is shockproof and
charged by a 300 hours battery.
NOTE : You cannot use it to hit behind enemies' neck or anything ^_^. This is an
ordinary flashlight - you use it to see in the dark.
2. Keycard
Stats : Fire Rate N/A
Damage N/A
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds N/A
A standard magnetic-strip card key.
NOTE : Use this to open locked doors. Get it from a killed enemy.
3. Antigen
Stats : Fire Rate N/A
Damage N/A
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds N/A
This device is used to subcutaneously inject a fine stream of fluid under high
pressure without puncturing the skin, and is loaded with an experimental serum
capable of counteracting the effects of the syphon filter virus.
NOTE : Use this on the patients.
4. Viral Scanner
Stats : Fire Rate N/A
Damage N/A
Clip Size N/A
Max Rounds N/A
Developed in secret by the viral research branch of PHARCOM Inc.. This device is
capable of detecting trace particle of the syphon filter virus from up to 50
meters away. It can also scan through some solid objects and provide visual
feedback of their contents.
NOTE : This is a very useful device. Not only it will detect the syphon filter
virus, it can detect boxes, enemies, barrels, switches, etc - it can see thru
walls. This is very useful for a sniper to know where the targets are.

########## 6. BATTLE TIPS AND STRATEGIES ###########
-------------------------------------------------------
Here are some battle tips that might help you to sharpen your battle skills :
1. Always pick up enemies' weapon that they left, especially the powerful ones.
You will need it a lot. Don't rely yourself on your taser especially when you're
in the later stages because taser don't work on enemies' that wear flak jackets.
Do not take the weapon if the enemy is caught in flame - you should wait first.
2. Do not get hit by explosion, caught up in flames, get struck by train, get a
head-shot (even though it's rare), or get slammed by car debris when you're
near. Unlike other games, you'll die instantly if you do that.
3. You have to make very little mistake if you're on stealth/infiltration
mission. Miss your shot, and an enemy will be alerted. And once he's alert, he
will always stay alert for the rest of the game. After that, it's just a matter
of time before he notice you.
4. Save your powerful weapon and some stealth weapon (K3G4, M-79, nightvision
rifle, gas grenades, etc) as much as you can. You will bring the weapons that
you have to the next level when you save your game, unless you go to other
countries (stage 6,8,12,15). Only use your powerful weapons when you face tough
enemies, like bosses, grenade lobbers, and group of enemies with flak jacket.
5. Notice the danger bar on the top left of the screen? It's a very important
bar. If the danger bar reaches max, that means the enemy has clear shot on you.
Your health will only be depleted after the danger bar reaches max, so hide
behind walls or run if that happens.
6. If you're surrounded by a lot of enemies and you don't equip the appropriate
weapon, press start to go to the character screen and change your weapon there.
Do not attempt to change the weapon by holding Select + L2/R2 because it takes a
lot of time. But you should know that Gabe still does his weapon-changing
animation so you have to evade until the weapon is ready to use.
7. If there's no enemy nearby, reload your weapon by pressing Triangle.
Reloading takes some time and things will get hairy if you're reloading in the
middle of the battle.
8. Use the appropriate weapon. For example : if the enemy is too far, snipe him
by using sniper rifle. If the environment is dark, then use the nightvision
rifle. If there's a group of enemies, use gas grenades or grenade launcher (M-
79). If the enemy is in short range, use the shotguns. These are some examples -
experiment on your own to find the type of weapon that is suitable for you.
Experiment on the aim function (L1 button), too.
9. Use the headshot on enemies if possible. One headshot will instantly kill the
enemy. Headshot is effective against enemies with flak jackets. Furthermore, if
you do the head-shot on enemies that wear flak jackets, you can keep his flak
jacket for your own.
10. If there are barrels near the enemy, shot the barrel to make an explosion on
the enemy. But beware that the enemies can do the same thing on you ^_^. On the
labs, there are bottles on the table. Some bottle will produce gas (just like
gas grenades) if you shoot it, so experiment.
11. You can use your sniping ability on dark environment if you have Nightvision
rifle. Make the situation dark by shooting/tasering the lamps. At first, I don't
think that it works, but with that tactic I manage to approach Marcos on stage
for and snipe him on the head.
12. You don't always detect the enemy on your radar. You can only detect them
only if you saw them previously. So be careful and don't blame the radar if an
enemy suddenly appears behind you.
13. On later stages, you'll be given a viral scanner. This is a very useful
device. You can use this to see through solid object. By using this, you can see
an enemy inside the building, so you can make the appropriate approach on him.
Take note that even if you see him on the viral scanner doesn't make the enemy
appear as dot in your radar if you haven't seen him.
14. Learn to use all the buttons to move Gabriel. He can do lots of useful
moves, such as :
a. zig-zag : when approaching the enemy on frontal combat, press strafe
button while moving forward. While doing that, press R1 button to target lock
and shoot the enemy. Use roll if necessary.
b. circling : by combining the strafe button and the opposite direction
button, you can move in circle. Circle clockwise by pressing L2 and right on D-
Pad. Circle counterclockwise by pressing R2 and left on D-Pad. Press sneak
button (X) for a silent and better control.
15. This is my ultimate tactic. I called it : the Peek-a-Boo tactic. It is
useful for killing multiple enemies that wear flak jackets and has already
detected you. It will take some time, but it get the job done. Look at the
picture below :
# N G = Gabriel
o # W+E o = enemies
o o # S # = wall
#
######
G
From the picture above (sorry that I cannot draw better ^_^), you can see that
there are three enemies on Logan's Northwest. Move Logan to the wall and make
him face north. Position Logan as close as possible to the wall, yet the enemy
cannot shoot him. Use your weapon (9mm, shotgun, sniper rifle,...). Aim by using
L1 button. Hold it all the time (don't release it). By doing this, you'll be on
the aim screen (with crosshair) and you're aiming at the wall. While still
holding L1 button, push L2 button to side step to the left. If you're close
enough to the wall, Logan will see the enemies. Position your crosshair to one
of the enemies' head. The enemies should notice you right now and start shooting
at you. Notice the danger bar, as you know that your health will not be depleted
unless the danger bar is full - you have a few seconds to move your crosshair.
If the danger bar max before you're able to move the crosshair to the enemy's
head, don't worry - you have plenty of time later - just release the L2 button
(STILL HOLD THE L1 BUTTON) and the enemies won't be able to see you. If you
still hold the L1 button, your aim won't change. If you feel save, press the L2
again (while still holding the L1 button). Move the crosshair. Repeat until you
point at the enemy's head. Head-shot him. Then repeat to the two other enemies.
This tactic works everytime, even on the later stages, and even against the
**PHARCOM ELITE GUARDS**. You should know that the enemies have 'boundaries',
meaning that they won't be able to follow you. Use this advantage to do the
Peek-a-Boo tactic. Believe me - it works really-really fine.

########## 7. TIPS FOR NON-WALKTHROUGH PLAYERS ###########
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to play the game on your own without any help from the walkthrough,
here are some tips that you should know :
1. Always remember where you saw locked door and you have no keycard. You will
come there again if you have the keycard.
2. Always check boxes that forms some kind of stairs. You might be able to climb
it.
3. Always search one area thoroughly, then move to the next area after you sure
that you do not left anything there. This way you can save time, and you won't
get back there to look for things that you haven't found.
4. You won't hold 2 keycards at once. Once you find a keycard, you won't find
any keycard until you use the one you found on a door. With this knowledge, you
should know that if you cannot find the keycard to the door, concentrate the
search the areas from the door you just opened to the door you can't opened.
5. If you have a mission of collecting a keycard, kill all terrorists and
scientists, then search their bodies to find them. You won't find a keycard in a
box.
6. Improvise - that's the keyword. The stage design is very good in this game.
So try everything that crosses into your mind, even when you thought it's not
possible in a game.
7. Check your radar. Sometimes it shows the item needed to finish the game, like
the viral bomb or etc.
8. If you can't accomplish a mission, try completing the other mission first.
Sometimes it is needed to accomplish the mission you're stuck. (Hey, you cannot
accomplish a mission at a particular place if you don't have a keycard to open
the door leading to it ^_^)
9. Just remember that the stage designer of this game seems to give you hint
about where to go. Such as : if you don't know where to go, sometimes an enemy
will appear from a ledge. Maybe you should climb the ledge where the enemy was.
10. Use flashlight to find hidden boxes. Sometimes you feel that the place is
bright enough, but use your flashlight to be sure.
11. Use the aim button (L1) to look around the area. Look up or down to find
ledges, iron bars, or something. Use the viral scanner and flashlight to help
you.
12. Before going down from a bridge or ledge, check with the aim button (L1) to
see whether the ledge is too far. Climb down if it's too far, because if you
jump, you'll die.
13. Use roll if you see a hole on the wall.
13. If anything fails, kill all enemies and search the place thoroughly with
flashlight.
14. If Tips #13 doesn't work, walk to every place and press Triangle wherever
you walk.
15. If all the tips fails, hey.... you can read the walkthrough ^_^
_________________________________________________
########## 8. COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH ###########
-------------------------------------------------
Note : I explained each level as detail as I could in the walkthrough. Most
people may prefer shorter, point-to-point walkthrough - but some levels are
really tough and you will need to be fully guided there. In the earlier stage,
you will find ways on how to kill the enemies effectively in the walkthrough. I
hope that you learn 'the art of killing' from that. I rarely put the 'how to
kill' in the later stages, giving you a chance to improvise.
***** STAGE 1 : WASHINGTON DC - GEORGIA STREET *****
****************************************************
Agency Directive :
Our FBI informant has pinpointed the terrorist viral attack in the DC subway
system. Our contacts within US Defense and Interpol confiorm the identities of
the terrorists. We will drop you in after CBDC (US Army Chemical and Biological
Defense Command) Operations begin.
Your targets are Rhoemer, Kravitch, Aramov, and Girdeux. SATCOM has intercepted
coded Microwave Traffic. Rhoemer must have an uplink station in the area. Assist
CBDC if needed. Avoid collateral casualties if possible. Check your objectives
onsite for more information.
NOTE : This is your first level. Use this level to get used with the controls.
You will start with a police car burning in front of you and an CBDC officer
(man with yellow suit) running to the right (north). Instead of going to the
car, go to the alley to your right (to the north). Ignore the bar and the subway
entrance on the map for the time being (you will go there eventually, but not
now).
On the end of the alley, be careful. There are 2 terorrists on the roof of the
building. Shoot them, and grab the 2 M-16 that they left behind. Make your way
to the Vacant Bank on the lower right side of the map (northeast). There are 2
terrorists in front of the Bank, one is equipped with 9mm and the other with M-
16. After you defeated those 2 guys, grab the ammo they left behind and enter
the building. There is a box with flak jacket in front of the door. Enter the
building further and you will get a call from Lian Xing. She asks you to protect
CBDC bomb squad in the building. Proceed further in the building to find him
(and try to rescue him, off course ^_^). There are 5 men equipped with 9 mm.
Kill them all (don't use your tazer here, because it's too slow) and Lian Xing
will tell you : ALL CLEAR, GABE. (#1st CHECKPOINT)
Go further to the little room on the left side of the vacant bank. Get a M-16
bullets in the box. Proceed further into the dark room. Use your flashlight to
find a box with grenades inside. After getting those grenades, proceed to the
entrance of the Vacant Building. When you reach the place where you found the
Flak Jacket, the window will be broken and there will be 3 enemies (with 9mm)
shooting at you from the roof of the building in front of the bank. Use your
tazer (Man, this Tazer is very handy ^_^). Proceed back to the alley where you
came WITH CAUTION !! There are 6 terrorists on the roof of the building in the
alley, all equipped with M-16. To kill them or not, it's up to you. Proceed
through the alley to your starting point, then go to the street in front of the
bar and the subway station. There will be some enemies on this place, all
equipped with 9mm and they keep coming from the wall. If you haven't maxed out
your 9mm pistol, then kill them with tazer. Proceed to the subway entrance and
go downstairs. Use your flashlight to see in the dark. There's a box of flak
jacket in there. Go towards the door to see that the subway gate is locked.
Press Triangle to call Lian Xing and she will tell you what to do - new
objective : turn off power to terminal. Go back upstairs and enter the bar - you
can shoot the entrance door or just run to the glass.
Go inside the bar until you reach a room blocked by a box to your left. Sneak
and kill the enemy with M-16, then climb the box. Shoot the window, and climb
thru the window. There's a gate with 'No Trespassing' sign nearby and a black
box in front of it. Climb on the black box and face west. Press triangle and you
will hang on the bridge above you. Go to the other side of the bridge and press
triangle under the iron pole to hang on the iron pole. Move to the left to the
bridge on the other side. There will be 2 enemies with 9mm appear when you're
hanging, but keep going left. Taser them. Then get a box on the bridge - it's M-
79 Grenade Launcher (a very powerful weapon). Go back down to the front of the
gate. The gate's door is locked. Shoot the lock - if you find it hard to shoot,
use L1 button to aim your shot to the lock. Enter the gate and go to the
elevator call switch on the left of the elevator hole. Push Triangle to call the
elevator, step on the elevator, then press triangle again to go downstairs. Lian
Xing will contact you again. After that, use your flashlight to find the power
switch. Activate it by pressing Triangle. (#2nd CHECKPOINT).
By activating that switch, the gate to the subway is now opened. But don't go
there yet - instead, complete your other objective : eliminate Kravitch and
destroy comm array. Go back to the elevator and go back upstair. An enemy will
appear and shot you with his M-16. Go back to the window where you came from.
Another enemy with M-16 waits for you from the other side of the box. Look at
your map and go to the Kravitz place - Lian Xing will call you again, telling
that you're near. Approach to Kravitch room and shoot Kravitch. One thing that
you should know is that Kravitch wears a flak jacket so you cannot hurt him by
using tazer. Use your M-16 to kill him fast. Go behind the desk where Kravitch
was to find a box with shotgun. After you kill Kravitch, 3 men will appear - one
with 9 mm and the 2 other with M-16. Before you leave the room, don't forget to
shoot the Comm array - it looks like a computer on the corner of the room. (#3rd
CHECKPOINT)
Go back to the front of the bar towards the 'now opened' subway entrance. 4
enemies with 9 mm will show up again. Proceed downstairs and go through the
opened subway terminal security door. While going through the door, Lian Xing
will call you and give you new objective : tag bomb in terminal. Go downstairs
to the door, and watch out - 5 or 6 persons will attack you with M-16. After
that, go across the left subway track to reach the bomb place - watch out for
the train. Approach the bomb, and tag it by using triangle button (#4th
CHECKPOINT).
Now the last mission is to eliminate Rhoemer. From your conversation with Lian
Xing you know that Rhoemer is on LV B2. Instead of going to the end of the LVB1
(towards the stairs), go to the tunnel on the leftmost of the map. So go across
two tracks, and find the door to the tunnel and go through there. You will face
4 person surrounding you, but don't worry because there's a box of flak jacket
nearby. Proceed and climb the platform. Climb down the platform and use your
flashlight. Press the elevator call switch to call the elevator by using
Triangle button. Hop on the elevator and press triangle to use it. In the lower
level, Lian Xing will call you and give you Rhoemer's position. A guard with
shotgun is guarding the way to the lower level terminal, so sneak and taser him
from behind. Approach the location on the map by crossing the subway track and
go to the 'blinking spot' on the map. Use your sneaking mode because all enemies
are equipped with shotguns. Beware of the last enemy near the bomb because he
wears a flak jacket. Head-shot should finish him. Approach the bomb and ........
***** STAGE 2 : WASHINGTON DC - DESTROYED SUBWAY *****
******************************************************
Incoming from Benton :
You're lucky to be alive. Ten square blocks of downtown D.C. just sank 20 feet
into the ground. It looks like Rhoemer had the entire subway wired to explode as
part of his escape plan.
It's likely you've cut his time table short, and that he's still down there with
you. Aramov and Girdeux also remain unaccounted for. Don't let Rhoemer escape
that terminal. And be aware that you're now completely cut off from all
reinforcements.
Note : Stage 2 is actually a short stage, but this stage will make you
frustrated... VERY FRUSTRATED (I just going round and round for more than 1.5
hour just looking for the way out). The main purpose of this stage is to get out
from the lower level of the subway's terminal, and the stage emphasizes on the
pathfinding. I will guide you through the map. Look that the map doesn't have
any direction like the first stage map, so I will call upper part of the map =
north, left = west, right = east, and lower part = south....OK ??
Go along the path to the south from where you start. You will find a box with
flak jacket inside. Then cross the subway track to the east. After going up to
the terminal again, go to the north. Beware of a burning enemy soldier come
towards you - you cannot shoot him down, just move backward to avoid him and
then wait until the fire stop burning. Then walk to the north, then to the east.
There are 2 enemies with M-16. Cross the railroad track to the east, then climb
the passanger car train. Walk on top of the train to the south and Lian Xing
will call you to help the CBDC officer. Jump down from the train roof and then
shoot two enemies with M-16 rifle. There's an annoying enemy who will lob a
grenade towards you. He wears a flak jacket, too, which makes him super annoying
^_^. Remember that one explosion will kill you, so stay away from his grenade
and shoot him with your M-16. Then use your flashlight on the railtrack - you
will see a box with a C4 explosive inside ( #1st CHECKPOINT )
When you pick up the explosive, an enemy will shoot you from a ledge above the
burning train. Remember this 'most important' ledge - this ledge is the ledge
that will take you to the upper level of subway's terminal. So after taking the
C4 explosives, go to the place where the grenade lobber stands then go south.
You will come to a place where there's a red box surrounded by burning trains on
the left and on the right. Climb the red box, then face east. Press Triangle and
you will climb to the ledge where the enemy shot you before. Go across the
'Danger' letter, then face west. Press Triangle again to pull yourself up. Face
east again and press triangle and up button to go to the ledge. Walk to the
north and press triangle to hang on the pipe. Press Right to move Gabriel to the
right until the pipe ends. Press Down to go to the ledge under him and...... You
succeeded to go to the upper level ....FIUUHH (and that takes me more than 1.5
hours ^_^).
After that, go to the north to reach the place where the map shows you to. On
the way there, Lian Xing will call you. Go north again to see a bomb on the
track on the right (east) side. Ignore the bomb cause you cannot do anything to
that bomb. Go to the place where the map asked you to, and you'll come to a
blocked passage. Use the C4 explosives on the blocked passage, then move out of
the way. The bomb will explode, and the passageway will open. The CBDC officer
will come to get the bomb. Go along with him and Lian Xing will asks you to
protect this person. Two enemies with M-16 will come from the south and one
enemy with M-16 will come from the north. Kill them to protect the CBDC officer,
and ....(#2nd CHECKPOINT)
Check the map to see where Rhoemer is, then try to go following her path. When
you approach the path, Gabriel will call Lian Xing, telling that the path is
blocked by fire from the ruptured pipe. She will tell Gabriel to find and shut
the gas mains. Go south past the bomb's place and then go to the west. Cross the
railroad. Use your flashlight, then go south again. You will reach a pole with a
picture of a gas - it's the gas mains. Use triangle button to shut it. Go back
to the place where Rhoemer went. Since the gas is closed, there's no fire
blocking the path. Climb the box near the passanger car, and then climb the
train. Go to the north and Lian Xing will contact you again. After that, jump
down the train. Move north cautiously, and you will see a burning enemy is
running towards you. Face back by tapping Down, Down on the controller pad, then
run towards the train again. There's an enemy on the train, so you have to shoot
him, then move aside so the burning enemy does not hit you. Wait until the fire
is out, then go north again to another train. Approach this train, but don't
climb on the box yet. Instead move back and you will see that there's an enemy
with M-16 waiting for you on the top of the train. Shoot him, then climb the
train. Go north, jump down the train, and ......
***** STAGE 3 : WASHINGTON DC - MAIN SUBWAY LINE *****
******************************************************
Incoming from Benton :
Logan, Intel indicates Rhoemer has fled the scene. Jenkins is meeting heavy
resistance in the Washington Park Area and OCPD reports fifteen officers down.
We fear an agency leak has given his position away.
Mara Aranov's identity has been confirmed by interpol. Do not let her escape.
Caution : FEMA is using the east bound tracks to shuttle emergency personnel. Do
not use explosives of any kind in the tunnel or you will cause a derailment.
NOTE : This is the first boss level. You have to time your 'line changing' with
the train. Messed up and you'll be struck by the train.
+++ BOSS NO 1 : MARA ARAMOV +++
Your mission is to stop Mara Aramov. She is running on the railway track. There
are 2 railway track, and she will keep changing tracks because of the trains.
Chase her. Use your shotgun or M-16 to shoot her. There will be enemies waiting
for your on the junction of the track. Use roll to avoid enemies' fire. One
thing that you should know is that you CAN roll underneath the blue iron between
the two track. After some time, you will get really close to her. Shoot as much
as you can to defeat her. Oh yeah.... she wears a flak jacket, so you cannot
hurt her with your taser. For easy winning, shoot her in the head.
***** STAGE 4 : WASHINGTON DC - WASHINGTON PARK *****
*****************************************************
Incoming from Benton :
Mission Redirect : CDBC has requested direct intervention and assistance. Your
new orders are to locate viral bombs, plant homing beacons, wait for the arrival
of CBDC, and provide covering fire. The bombs are set to detonate within the
hour.
Terrorists resistance is heavy. Agency intel reports that Anton Girdeux is
leading the park operation. Exercise caution. We have lost all communication
from Jenkins' Team.
NOTE : This is one of the coolest level in this game. A very big place, lots of
enemies, and dark environment. Perfect to hone your skill on headshot.
You start on a foggy and rainy night in Washington Park. Look above your radar
on the lower left of the screen - there's a time counter - you have to disarm
the 4 viral bombs in 20 minutes. There will be other missions given on the way
to disarm the bombs, but make this objective (disarm 4 bombs) as the priority
cause the timer will stop once you disarm all the bombs. As the area on this
stage are big, look at the map frequently.
On the first area, you will find 2 enemies. One is running around with shotgun,
and the other one is standing on the wall with nightvision rifle. Just as you
enter the gate, you will find an enemy heading towards you from the left with
.45 gun. There are 4 square things on this area. The lower right contains a box
with flak jacket and the upper left contains a bomb. The bomb looks like a grey
square thing in your radar. Approach the bomb and press triangle to call the
CBDC officer. The CBDC officer will come and try to disarm it. Protect him while
he's disarming the bomb - failure in doing this will end the mission. 3 persons
with .45 will come and try to shoot him. Kill them and collect the .45 bullets
that they left. (#1st CHECKPOINT)
Go to the north to reach the statue. On your way there you will get a call from
Lian Xing, telling that there is a hostage situation on the tennis court - new
objectives. Ignore this for now and go behind the statue. The second bomb is
there. Tag the bomb, and the CBDC officer will come. Protect him - 6 men with
.45 will come to kill him. Use your .45 to kill them because all of the enemies
are carrying this weapon - you can get the bullets easily. Furthermore, .45 is a
powerful weapon. Collect their weapons. (#2nd CHECKPOINT)
There are 2 paths here : one leading to the left, and one leading to the right
(tennis court). Take the one to the left. After reaching an alley, you will come
to a square place with 4 bench in the middle. 3 men will appear and attack you -
2 men with shotgun, and 1 men with .45. There's a flak jacket here on the north
side of the wall. Proceed north to receive a call from Lian Xing - new objective
: to find the sattelite comm.
Proceed to the north end of the left branch. There're enemies here, but ignore
them and go straight to the north. Most enemies carries : shotgun, nightvision
rifle, and .45. There are 2 small buildings in this area. The bomb is on the
south building. Tag the bomb and cover the CBDC officer. There will be 7 men
trying to kill him, all equipped with .45. Protect this person at all costs.
(#3rd CHECKPOINT). There is a box with M-16 on the roof of the northern small
building.
Go back to the statue again, and this time take the right path towards the
tennis court. On the square area (where there're 4 benches), 4 enemies with
shotgun will attack you. Just defeat them and go straight towards the tennis
court. Follow the path, and you will reach the last bomb in the path. Tag it and
a CBDC officer will come to disarm it. 7 persons with .45 will come to kill him.
(#4th CHECKPOINT).
Now proceed to the tennis court. On your way to the tennis court (before the
alley) you will find a box with a flak jacket in it. Proceed through the alley
cautiously - 5 men will appear from the wall above to attack you with
nightvision rifle and shotgun rifle. Proceed to the tennis court. There're 2
hostages in the tennis court, and 2 terrorists. One is near the hostages, and
the other one is walking around. From outside the cage, use your taser to kill
the guard who is walking around. Sneak towards the door (not entering the door
!!) and when you see the terrorist from the distance, equip your night vision
rifle. Take your time to zoom in and aim for the terrorist's head (I really like
this part). Aim carefully, and....boom - One Shot One Kill. (#5 CHECKPOINT).
Inside the tennis court, loot the bodies for shotgun shells and .45 bullets.
There's another terrorist walking around in the tennis court. Shoot him to get a
shotgun shell. Leave the tennis court and proceed to the square area on the
south of the Hedge Maze. Approach this site and Lian Xing will tell you that the
comm array is near. 2 persons, each equipped with shotgun and nightvision rifle
are near the structure. Circling the structure, you will find 2 persons with
shotgun and night vision rifle again - for the total of 4. The comm array is on
the top (roof) of this structure. Climb the structure to find the Comm Array -
do not shoot it like on the first mission. Instead, approach it and press
Triangle button (#6th CHECKPOINT) . Lian Xing will tell you the position of the
Trigger Man Marcos - new objective. He's in the Hedge Maze. One thing that you
should know about Marcos : He wears a flak jacket. So snipe him if you can.
This is the part I like. First, shoot all the lamps with sniper rifle/taser. The
maze will be dark, so the enemy can't see you unless he's close enough. Sneak
into the maze, point your night vision on your enemy's head, and...BOOM -
STRIKE. If you're good enough, you can kill Marcos by sniping him on his head.
By doing that, you can save lots of bullets, life, and get a flak jacket from
him. (#7th CHECKPOINT)
After that, go towards the Freedom Memorial. As you know, there are 4 enemies
equipped with shotguns and flak jackets. Like in the maze, shoot all the lamps
from the distance. Then sneak cautiously. If the enemy sees you, run back. You
should know that NightVision rifle has better range than shotgun. So make some
distance, and shoot the enemy in the head. Even though the enemies can see you,
the shotgun cannot reach you ...... After all 4 persons are killed, proceed into
Freedom Memorial.
***** STAGE 5 : WASHINGTON DC - FREEDOM MEMORIAL *****
******************************************************
Forwarded from Agency Intel :
Spysat has completed a detailed analysis of Girdeux's Body Armor; It is
impervious to all conventional weapons. Our armor specialists are working on it,
but your agent may have to improvise to find a weak point.
Our demolition expert has noted that the use of any explosive device will
trigger the Viral bomb.
NOTE : This is the second boss level. Looks really-really cool (don't get much
of these in any other games).
+++ BOSS 2 : ANTON GIRDEAUX +++
This is one of the coolest boss level I've ever seen in any other games !! Anton
wears full body armor and equips a flamethrower. Once the flame hits you, you're
toasted. To make things worse, Lian Xing does not tell you where the weak point
is !! Yikeess ......
Playing for more than half an hour, trying to figure out how to defeat this
boss. And indeed, practice makes perfect !!
There are things that you should know when fighting this guy :
1. He always aim his target when he fires his flamethrower. So whenever he fires
it, do the plan B : RUN.
2. He needs to get a clear shot before he fires his flamethrower. He will not
shoot if he can't see you or if there's an obstactle between you and him, such
as : pillars and statue.
3. He needs an 'undisturbed' few seconds to aim. So if you are seen by him then
you're not for a split second and appears again in front of him, he will not
shoot you because the 'few seconds' is reset.
4. Since there's a weak point, you should have guessed that you MUST use the aim
shot (using L1 button).
5. The enemy requires a few shot before he died. Unlike you who will die with
just one shot.
6. The fire that he shot will stay on the place until you or he died.
Now, for the big question : Where should I shoot him ?? Where is his weak point
?? (Come on ...You should have guessed it).
............The weak point is : the big flamethrower cannister behind him.
This is how to defeat him :
1. Lure him near one of the pillars by standing still behind the pillar. You
have to position yourself so Girdeux cannot see you, and you cannot see him -
the pillar is between you and him.
Closer is better because you can aim much easier and faster.
2. Use strafe button (L2 or R2). Then use aim button (L1). Just remember that
Girdeux has a good reaction, so there's a posibility that he will face you
immediately when you come out from your hideout even though you're on his back
when you strafe. Aim to the cannister behind his body (or if he faces you, aim
to the canister - slightly over his left shoulder) and shoot. If you cannot aim
the shot to his cannister in a short time, just strafe back behind the pillar -
he will not shoot you even though he saw you before (look rule #3). Go circling
around the pillar and repeat.
3. If something goes wrong on the timing and he manages to fire the
flamethrower, just run behind another pillar with a hope that he misses his shot
and repeat the tactic on this new pillar.
***** STAGE 6 : NEW YORK CITY - EXPO CENTER RECEPTION *****
***********************************************************
Incoming from Markinson :
I've approved your request for access to the FBI files on Jonathan Phagan. I
think your suspicious maybe correct. The PHARCOM reception maybe a cover for a
meeting between Phagan and Rhoemer. Follow Phagan closely.
Obviously, you must not be seen or captured. You are authorized to eliminate any
of Phagan's security, but use silenced weapons only. Once you're observed the
meeting, use whatever means necessary to capture Phagan alive. Officially, the
agency knows nothing about this.
NOTE : This is your first stealth mission. You cannot be detected by the enemy,
not even once. If the enemy sees you, the mission is over. You are only equipped
with silenced weapon : Sniper rifle, silenced 9mm, and taser. Use sneak almost
all the time, except when you know the enemies' location.
You see Phagan is walking to the door. Instead of following him to the same
path, climb the ledge on the left. Climb again on the next ledge so you're one
ledge below the pillar. You should see 2 green dots in your radar, because
there're two guards on the door. If you only see one green dot, position
yourself behind the pillar ledge near the path so you can see both guards. Move
back a little bit, and crouch. Wait for the guard to come down the path. Shoot
him with tazer when you see him. After one guard is down, his friend will come
to him. Shoot him before he detects you. Then take the HK-5 that they left. Go
into the door. There's a junction ahead. Hide behind the left wall to see an
enemy walking to the north. Follow him and use your taser on him. Proceed north
to a room with a formation of rocks in there. There's a guard guarding the door
to the north. Sneak behind and taser him. Enter the door that leads to the
statue room (Pharaoh room ??). Sneak to the wall to the left, and you will see a
guard is walking to the north in the Pharaoh room. Taser him from a distance.
Grab the HK-5 he left behind, and hide behind the statue that is not attached to
the wall. If you sneak near the north path, a guard will come to your way. Move
away by circling the statue. The guard is heading outside. I don't know if
there's something wrong about this guard, because everytime I taser him, the
mission failed. So instead of taser-ing him, equip your silenced 9mm, aim
(easy...you got a lot of time) to the head, and shoot him - or just let him go.
After that, there is still one guard left - he's the most cautious guard.
Instead of heading to the next room, try run to the west wall and back hiding to
lure him out. This guy will make a quick walking around, making it hard for you
to kill. This guy is weird, too. I always fail the mission when I taser him or
when I shoot him in the body (with R1+Square button). So I think the only way is
to use the aim-to-the-head shot (L1 button). It is hard to aim on him because he
turns his back very quickly. So the tip is : aim while standing, not crouching.
Because you and your enemy are in the same level (elevation), you will only aim
to the left or right and not worrying to aim up or down. If you crouch, you will
have to aim a little bit higher. This takes a lot of practice and patience. (I
tried over 20 times in this place, and it makes me frustrated). After you defeat
him, go into the room and ..... (#1st CHECKPOINT)
After the animation, you will find out who's the traitor among you. You will
face Benton here. He wears a flak jacket, and a machine gun (G-18). Move to the
west wall. Benton maybe shoot you, but he will miss if you're fast. From here,
equip your sniper rifle, aim carefully (don't worry, Benton will not be able to
shoot you) and bang...he's down. You won't lose any health if you do it right,
furthermore you will get a flak jacket ^_^. You will call Lian after Benton's
down. Search his body to get G-18 and his card key (#2nd CHECKPOINT).
Lian Xing will ask you to find the another security cardkeys. Go to the gate to
the west and press the gate control panel to open the gate. An enemy will appear
and surprise you (It surprised me ^_^). Get HK-5 bullets from him. Go to the
door behind him (reads Museum Staffs Only). Open it (or kicking it exactly) by
using Triangle button and you will get a 'welcome party' from the 3 enemies (all
equipped with HK-5). Run around to kill the enemy on the floor, and hide behind
(to the south of) the blue face statue. Use the Peek-a-Boo tactic here. Position
yourself so you are line up with the line between the box and the statue. The
enemies cannot shoot you. Equip your sniper rifle, aim by using L1, and while
still holding L1, press R2 to move right a little bit. Move the crosshair (dot)
on the enemy. If the enemy shoots you, release the R2 button so you are covered
by the statue. Repeat until you aim him on the head and shoot him. Repeat the
procedure with the other guy. This way, you will not lose your health. Climb to
the box near the face statue, and climb again to the ledge. Proceed to the dead
body that you just shot, get everything from him, and climb the box. Climb to
the higher ledge over the box to the north. Shot the lock on the door and
proceed to the only way. Get the HK5 bullets in the box near the fan, and shoot
the lock on the door. Go outside and use your taser to zap the enemy. Go down
and kill the enemy with the flak jacket - he holds the Card Security key (#3rd
CHECKPOINT)
You should notice that there're 2 gate : one is on the south and one is on the
west. Go back up again to the door near the fan. Near the door you will find a
gate switch. Activate, then go down quickly and run to the west gate - it will
not stay open for long. After the tunnel, you will come to the west Ancient
World Exhibits on the map. There're 2 enemies here - one of them is wearing flak
jacket, and one of them is upstairs - all equipped with HK-5. Get a cardkey from
him. (#4th CHECKPOINT)
After that, activate the gate opener switch to the south, leading to the
Aerospace exhibits. 3 enemies will appear and shoot you. After you defeat them,
go to the end of the path to activate the elevator. More enemies (3) will show
up again. Go down with the elevator, and go through the blue door to the east.
Kill 2 enemies here. Go to the east door with 'Museum Staff Only' label on it.
You will come to the 'Planet Mars' room. There will be 4 enemies waiting for you
on the ledge in front of you. Kill them and climb the ledge. Go to the south of
the ledge to find a switch. You cannot activate the switch because you don't
have the key. (This is the part that is annoying - I'm stuck at this place and
finally knew how to do it after trying more than half an hour).
Go back to the place where there's a rocket. Use the elevator to the second
level. You have to go to the third level, but how ?? See the broken elevator
call switch on the third floor - the one that keeps sparking ?? Shoot it while
you're in the elevator by using the aim button (L1 button). The elevator will go
to the third floor. Face 2 guys with a HK5 guns. You should recognize this
place, because you can see the pyramids to your left. That means you're in front
of the pyramids. Go to the end of of the room to get a keycard. Apparently, you
have killed this man while you're on the pyramid.(#5th CHECKPOINT)
Go back to the elevator, take the elevator to the lowest level and go to the
mars room. On your way back to the Mars room, some enemies will come to shoot
you. Use the keycard to open the door. Proceed, and two men will try to kill you
from the space shuttle room below. They are equipped with HK5 and G-18. Go to
the end of the room to get the K3G4 in the box near the gate. Then go down to
the space shuttle place. 3 persons will try to kill you from the bridge above.
They all wear flak jackets and HK5. Climb the space shuttle, then press Triangle
on top of the space shuttle to hang on the bridge. Climb up the bridge and head
south. You will meet a terrorist with HK5 and flak jackets. Open the blue door,
and see an animation.
***** STAGE 7 : NEW YORK CITY - EXPO CENTER DINORAMA *****
**********************************************************
Incoming from Lian :
Aramov is interrogating Phagan near the Dinosaur exhibit. I'm losing the audio
feeds, but she keeps saying something about Syphon Filter.
Both Aramov and Phagan have information we need... You must stop Aramov from
killing Phagan, but without killing her.
NOTE : This is the first mission that requires your skill of head-shot. All of
the guards are wearing a flak jacket, so head-shot is a must in this level. This
level will prove whether your good or not ^_^
Go towards the door to the south. By the time you're reading this, 3 enemies
should have come and kick the door to eliminate you, plus one enemy from the
other side of the gate on the west. They are equipped with HK5 and they all wear
flak jackets. Run past them to the corner, then stop by the wall. Don't worry,
they won't after you. Use the Peek-a-Boo head aim tactic : position yourself
near the corner, then face the wall. Equip your silenced 9mm. Aim using L1
button (you should now aiming for the wall), then press L2 to move a little bit
to the left while still holding the aim button. Aim the crosshair to the head.
You will have a few seconds to do that. If the enemy sees you, release the L2
button (but still holding the L1 button), and press L2 again to move a little
bit to the left after the enemy stop shooting. Shoot them in the head. This
should take care of 2 enemies. Walk towards the door to repeat the Peek-a-Boo
tactic to finish the two remaining enemies. But watch out, because the enemy is
on the left side (behind the gate) and on the right side of the door, so if you
aim at one, the other will try to shoot you from behind. After looting their
equipment (and their flak jacket off course ^_^), go back into the room to check
the lockers for a K3G4 (3th locker from the left) and a flak jacket (3th locker
from the right).
Then go to the path with a door leading to a circular room with glass dome
beneath it. After reaching there, Gabriel will call Lian Xing and she will tell
you that the enemies are in the lower level and there's no way down. You've got
to improvise your way down. Walk to the right side or the left side of the
bridge. See iron bars on the ceiling ?? Use Triangle button to hang on it. Move
to the center of the glass dome, then press down. You will see an awesome
animation (wow...so cool ^_^).
Down here, the enemies will swarm you like a meal. 5 terrorists are here. Use
the Peek-a-Boo tactic to hunt them one by one. But beware, the enemies on the
roof are equipped with sniper rifle, and it means they have greater chance of
hitting you. One of the enemy is equipped with G-18, like the one you get from
Benton - so this is going to be a tough fight. Your objective is to kill the
enemy with flak jacket and combat shotgun on the ledge, and then grab the
keycard (#1st CHECKPOINT)
Open the door to the south (the red door) leading to a place with T-REX statue.
You will see a switch at the south junction, and there are 2 guards guarding it
- all equipped with flak jacket and HK5. Hide (crouch) on the left side of T-REX
base and shoot them in the head. When you reach the switch, a guard (with HK5)
will appear from behind the right gate, and a guard (with combat shotgun and
flak jacket) will appear from the room the lobby that you just left. Activate
the switch will open the right gate - run through it quickly and kill an enemy
(equipped with HK5 and flak jacket) on the end of the path. Shoot another enemy
(equipped with G-18 and flak jacket) on the other side of the glass (kinda like
an aquarium). Shoot the 2 guards from the other side of the gate that you just
enter. Equip yourself with sniper rifle and climb the ledges on the aquarium and
climb down on the other side - shoot the fish if they're getting in the way.
Carefully head south to the path after you hear a conversation between Aramov
and Phagan. Remember that the objective is to keep them alive, so you cannot
shot Phagan or Aramov. You will have limited time, because Aramov is about to
kill Phagan and she will do that if you don't act fast. I can find 2 ways to
stop Aramov :
1. Aim (by using L1 button) with your sniper rifle and move the crosshair to
Aramov's machine gun (HK5) that she aimed on him - you have to zoom in on the
binoculars. Shoot the HK5.
2. Equip your taser and aim the taser on her. Don't worry about the glass, the
taser has the ability to break it. ( #2nd CHECKPOINT ).
OK, now the mission is to reach Aramov. You have to go upstairs, but you will
find no stairs in this place. Once again, you have to improvise (AGAIN ??). Go
to the dinosaur's tail and climb on it by using triangle button and Up. Walk
towards the shoulder. When you reach the neck section, three enemies will come
and shoot you - all equipped with flak jacket (Oh boy, almost all of the enemies
are wearing flak jacket). You may have to go back down to finish them. When
you're done, climb again to the dinosaur's shoulder. Jump and hang on the iron
bar on the ceiling, and move to the right towards Aramov's place. Let go of your
hands and reach her to get HK5 bullets and finish the mission.
***** STAGE 8 : ROZOVKA, KAZAHKSTAN - RHOEMER'S BASE *****
**********************************************************
Incoming from Markinson :
I know that this type of military operation is usually carried out by our agents
within the army rangers, but for obvious reasons I am assigning it to you : find
and inventory the base's missile arsenal, plant C4 charges at key locations, and
eliminate Gabrek, the base CO.
You will also have to disable the base's anti aircraft radar dish before Lian
can initiate evac. Once your explosives are set, you will only have a limited
amount of time for pickup.
NOTE : I really like this level. This is a semi-stealth mission, I think. You
can kill the enemy with any guns, but the alarms will ring. The mission will not
be failed, but it's like a suicide mission, because the enemies will keep coming
and swarm you all the way, giving you hard time to finish the mission. so
whatever you do ...DON'T SOUND THE ALARM. All of the guards here are equipped
with PK-102.
When you start the level, you will see a guard walking around the truck in front
of you. This guard will meet his friend on the left side of the truck. If he
does, then you will not be able to head-shot him - because if you do, his friend
will notice you and the alarm will ring. So as soon as the game starts, follow
this guy quickly and give him a head shot before he reaches his friend. Enter
the guard's place on the right side of the truck and search the cabinet for gas
grenades. Then sneak behind the truck and kill the first enemy's friend on the
left side of the truck by giving him a head shot. Or if you don't have the time
to kill the first guard, wait until those two meet, then lob a gas grenade near
them. From those two guards, you will get PK-102. (All the guards here are
equipped with PK-102). See the guy walking around in the distance ? Give him a
head shot. Shoot the big lamp too because it can detect you if you walk into the
light.
Move under the bridge. When you are under the bridge, 2 persons will come and
check. I myself prefer going back near the truck and snipe them from a distance.
Shoot the guy on the top of the right wall, along with 2 big lamps on the left
and right wall. In this place, you will see a fuel tank. Approach a fuel tank
from the right side, look east, and youwill see a man walking around in
distance. Head shot will do him fine. Smash the street light, then plant the C4
explosives in front of the fuel tank. (#1st CHECKPOINT)
When you move towards east, Lian Xing will give you another mission objectives :
disable power to motion sensors. After this, move back because an guard will
come across in front of you. Snipe him from a distance. Move to the east to see
a switch. You cannot use the switch because the lock code is required. After
this, you will see 2 enemies on the other side of the gate. Snipe them. Move
south and then east. Snipe the enemy from a distance. Move forward until you see
an antena. Snipe an enemy from behind the gate to your left. Then place the
explosive on the east wall (#2nd CHECKPOINT)
Shoot the lock to open the gate, then an enemy will appear guarding the Power
Plant. Snipe him, then activate the motion sensor switch on the power plant
(#3rd CHECKPOINT)
Go back near the place where you put the first bomb, then head north to climb on
the bridge. After you cross the bridge, sneak. There will be 2 enemies walking
to your right downstairs and 1 enemy standing in front of a buiding near the
stairs. Snipe the person in front of the building on your left downstairs before
he sees you. Then go down the stairs and get night vision rifle and gas grenades
in the box. Then sneak to the place where those two guys walking. You will see
that those 2 guards are always together - you cannot head-shot one of them
because the other will hear and will sound the alarm. Instead, lob a gas grenade
between them. Approach to the dead bodies, and you will see 2 guards walking on
the ledge over the truck. You have to snipe them when they are apart, or you
will make the other guard alerted. After killing them, shoot the big light. Walk
towards the truck while keep looking at your radar. You will see a blinking dot
from your left - there's an enemy inside the building to your left (to your
south) and you can hardly see him. Snipe him from a distance, then go to the
south. There are three ways to the southern part of this place :
1. the west path is blocked by a fence that you can't open, but you can see that
there's a fuel tank on the other side of the fence.
2. the middle path.
3. the east path, where you can see a gas tank in the corner.
Walk to the gas tank in front of the east path, then plant a C4 explosives.
(#4th CHECKPOINT)
Even though the east path is blocked by a fence, approach the fence and snipe a
guard there. Push yourself to the fence and you can see a big light to your
front-right. Snipe it. Then go back and take the middle path. Go inside the
groove in the ground, so you're protected by it. At the end of the groove, you
will see two guards standing near each other behind the barrel to your left
(east). Use your gas grenade on them. Then head to your right (west) to reach
the fuel tank that you saw behind the fence. Use your C4 explosive. (#5th
CHECKPOINT)
Then move back to the east path (to the right of those two guards behind the
barrels). In the end of the path, you will see the last fuel tank on your left.
If you reach to the right turn, be careful. Gabrek will come with his 2 soldier.
Hide to the house on your right. Wait there and Gabrek and the 2 soldiers will
past you, leaving you unnoticed. Aim a gas grenade to them - they are moving, so
you have to throw slightly in front of them. They will all die if you do it
right. Grab the cardkey and flak jacket that Gabrek brought (#6th CHECKPOINT).
Plant the last explosives on the fuel tank, then go to the path where Gabrek
from. Be careful, there's a guard on the outside of the house on your right. You
will not be able to see him, because he's hidden by the walls. Snipe him if you
can, but gas grenade is better. Then go along the path to see a switch. Activate
it to open the gate - Does the place looks familiar to you ?? It should be,
because you're on the path leading to the second fuel tank - this is kinda
shortcut. Go to the place where you cannot use the switch before. Activate the
switch by using Gabrek card, and the gate leading to the bunker will be opened.
Once you got across the gate, snipe the big light in front of you. Then go past
the truck to the east. Beware of a guard coming from the bunker's entrance.
Enter the bunker carefully. There's no map for this bunker, so be careful. Snipe
the person walking around on the lower level in front of you. After that, go to
the barrels to see two guards talking on the right path. Gas grenade them. Take
their machine gun and take the left path (the right path is a dead end) to go to
the base bunker.
***** STAGE 9 : ROZOVKA, KAZAHKSTAN - BASE BUNKER *****
*******************************************************
Incoming from Lian :
Gabe, all the explosive charges you set are primed and ready for detonation. All
you have to do now is catalog the SS-23s and get to the roof. As you check each
one, I'll be transmitting the firing codes to HQ. So keep your channel open.
Entering the bunker triggered a silent alarm. The base is on alert now, so
you're not going to be able to get back to the surface the way you came.
Sattelite photos indicate that there's a freight elevator on the roof, and it's
likely connected to the bunker. That's your exit strategy.
Note : Come on ... triggered a silent alarm ?? It's so hard to get unnoticed on
LV8, and I trigger the silent alarm ...mumble..mumble...mumble... ^_^. You
should know that this is a combat mission, not a stealth mission. So do your
best !! Oh yeah, I almost forgot - don't touch the red electric fence because
you will be killed instantly. And no maps for this level ...oh boy.
I try to map the place, and here it is :

In the enemy bunker, you will see a box with flak jacket(F). Head to the
junction (a), and you will see that electric fences have blocked your way to the
left and to the right. There are 2 enemies on the left path, each equipped with
combat shotgun and PK-102. Kill them, but you won't be able to take their
weapons, because the path is blocked by the electric fence. Look to the wall
behind the RIGHT fence (b). See a blinking lamp ?? It's the electric switch for
the fence. Aim and shoot it. Go there, then turn left. You should see a 1-1
door(c). Open it by activating the switch on the right and fight a person with
combat shotgun. There are 2 red missiles in the room. Check the panel and you
will contact Lian Xing. Check the other panel in front of the other missile,
then open the gate on the other side from where you came from by activating the
switch. An enemy with combat shotgun will wait in front of the door. Shoot him,
and loot the 2 persons that you shot on the first time. Oh yeah, you can shut
the left electric fence by shooting the panel (d) on the wall near the gate, but
it does nothing.
Proceed, and shoot the panel to open the fence. If you shoot from the left, then
you will disable the right electric fence, so to get through you must go back
past the room with the missiles. Anyway, go to the open path (e). Going to the
path will make 2 enemies (with combat shotgun and PK-102) appear. There is a
path to the right (f) and there is a junction on the end (g), leading to the
left and the right. Take the right path (f) because you will go to the (g)
junction after that. At the end of the (f) path, you will come to a junction
(h). 2 enemies with PK-102 will be waiting for you here. Reaching the junction
will make an enemy on each side (right and left) to attack you with PK-102. Take
the left path (i), and an enemy will appear again. You can take the flak jacket
(F) in the box if you want - then go to the place where the person just shot
you. You will see a 2-1 door to your left. Kill one guard with PK102 and open
the 2-1 door by clicking the switch. Equip your silenced 9mm and head-shot 2
persons there with Combat shotgun and PK-102. Go to the missile access control
(j) on the wall and activate it. The 4 missiles will come out one by one.
Catalog them by pressing Triangle after the missiles has come out.
6 down, 4 missiles to go. Go back to the main path and take the (g) junction
this time. On the junction, 3 guards will appear, 1 equipped with combat shotgun
and 2 equipped with PK-102. Shoot the switch on your left and take the left path
(k). Open the 1-2 door on your right by activating the switch beside the door.
Enter the room by walking backward, because an enemy with PK-102 will appear
from behind. Activate 4 missile panels to catalog the missiles. (#1st
CHECKPOINT). Now the job has been completed. The mission now is to find the
elevator to the roof.
Open the (m) door by clicking the switch - 2 enemies with PK-102 and combat
shotgun will wait from the other side of the door. Go right to the (n) point and
shoot the panel on the junction. Go across the 1-2 room to enter the (o) path.
Blow the switch to open the electric fence. As soon as you do that, run to the
elevator (E) by going through the o path and take the right turn , because 2
enemies equipped with flak jackets and PK-102 will appear from behind. Just go
to the elevator door and activate the switch on your right. The switch will open
the elevator door. Hop on it and press Triangle to go to the roof. If you do it
right, you won't take any damage.
By the way, you cannot open the 1-3 door and you will find nothing in the
computer room (p).
***** STAGE 10 : ROZOVKA, KAZAHKSTAN - BASE TOWER *****
*******************************************************
Incoming From Lian :
Rhoemer's patrols have discovered my location and I'm coming under heavy fire.
You better disable that radar soon or I won't be able to dust off. It's control
panel should be somewhere at it's base.
I'm having Markinson's team stand by in case something happens. Hurry Gabe.
NOTE : The third boss stage. Quite cool, and the most important thing : non-stop
action.
After going up on the elevator, you will arrive at the roof. Circling the place,
you will see 4 boxes. Two boxes contain flak jacket, and two boxes contain PK-
102. Go to the stairs leading to the radar dish. Ascend the stairs, and go to
the panel on the radar. It's the Radar Tracking Override switch. Activate it and
you will hear a conversation, added objectives, and updated briefing (#1st
CHECKPOINT).
+++ BOSS 3 : CHOPPER +++
Use your PK-102. This is your best weapon against the chopper, and you can find
the ammo in the boxes. I think the target is the whole body of the helicopter,
so you can shoot it anywhere. After you activate the switch, go downstairs and
wait for the chopper to come out in front of the radar dish. Even before the
choper comes out, the radar will show you where the chopper is so you can target
lock the chopper (using R1 button). If the lights from the chopper hits you,
RUN. The chopper will use its machine gun to gun you down and if you don't move,
you'll die in no time. Start shooting from the moment the chopper appear (even
before he lit the lights), then still shoots while evading the bullets. If you
do it right, the chopper will smoke and go below the roof. If not, the chopper
will fly above you while shooting at you make a turn then flying and shooting
above you.
There are 2 patterns that the helicopter uses to shoot you :
1. If the helicopter appear from below the roof and use its light on you, the
bullets will try to chase you. So to evade the bullets, you must run in circle.
Don't make back and forth straight line, such as : strafing left, then strafing
right. If you do this, you will be hit by the bullets. In other words, while
strafing, also press the direction button . Just be sure that you don't get
blocked by the box or by the radar base when you evade or the bullets will
finish you there.
2. If the helicopter fly in a straight line and shoots you - the bullets will
make a straight line. so to evade the bullets, use the strafe button - use roll
if necesarry.
After the chooper goes below the roof (after it smokes), the chopper will appear
much like the first time, but the location is random. While flying on the roof
top, the chopper will drop guards to attack you. Beware, and shoot them before
he shoots you. Just remember that your main target is the chopper, so shoot the
chopper again until it burns.
***** STAGE 11 : ROZOVKA, KAZAHKSTAN - BASE ESCAPE *****
********************************************************
Incoming from Markinson :
The timers on the explosives you planted have been triggered. When they go off,
it will leave a crater a mile wide. Our chopper will pick you up at the main
gate, if you get here in time. Our window for escaping ground zero is short, so
you had better hurry.
I have sent a team to Lian's rendezvous point. They found nothing but a burning
pile of debris. Rhoemer will pay dearly, soon enough.
NOTE : Escaping from the base sequence. In other games, this type of mission
ussually lies in the last level, but not in this game. All I can say is :
Run..Run....and RUN
Basically, the mission is to leave the base as quickly as possible. The action
is so fast here, because you only have 3 minutes to leave the base. Use your
combat shotgun to kill the enemy quickly. The path that you have to take is the
path where you kill Gabrek. Kill if you have to, but running is a better option.
I won't tell you where the enemies are because you won't care (Come on, you'll
be busy running ^_^). I won't tell you the way out, because you should have
known that. Just remember this tips :
1. don't shoot enemies while you are near the barrels. If the enemy shoots the
barrels, it'll explode and you're dead.
2. R1 button (target lock) will change your running direction, so be careful.
3. Use strafing and rolling for the best evasion method.
4. run in the groove to evade enemies.
One thing that you should know is that there's a flak jacket on the right side
of the first groove. Get it if you want.
The most difficult enemy in this stage is the last enemy guarding the gate. He
wears a flak jacket and throws grenades. Shoot him with combat shotgun multiple
times and hopefully you kill him before you exit through the gate. Sometimes the
enemy can kill you even if you have exited the place (you can hear Gabriel's
dead while the screen is fading black). That's why you should kill the last
enemy.
***** STAGE 12 : UZHHOROD, UKRAINE - RHOEMER'S STRONGHOLD *****
****************************************************************
Incoming from Markinson :
You have to find your way down to the catacombs, where Phagan is being held.
Eliminate all PHARCOM scientists you find on the way; I want to shut down this
entire operation.
Our labs have prepared an antigen which fights the effects of the virus. You
must stop and administer it to any human test subjects you find. The agency
needs these subjects alive, so do everything in your power to insure their
safety.
Note : new location, so they give you your standard equipment (9mm, sniper
rifle, taser and stuffs). This is not a stealth mission, so just let it all out.
Remember that the right side of the map is north, not east.
You arrive at the roof. Do not fall, or you will die. Face to your right (east).
Move forward a tiny little bit and you will spot an enemy below you. Use your
sniper rifle on him. After that, go north on the roof and use your look button
to your right (east) to find a ledge under you. Go to that ledge. Move east when
suddenly the right window on the building in front of you is broken and someone
comes out and shoot you. Snipe him - and head to his place (behind the window)
by going through the ledges and climb the window. You will find the man's PK-102
and flak jacket in the box. Go to the path to the east to see an unarmed
scientist with a flak jacket. Kill him, as killing the scientists is one of your
mission. Take the south turn to go into the room with patients. You will contact
Markinson there. Approach the 2 patients (test subjects) and inject them with
antigen. Then go back to the path and go east. Head south on the path full of
boxes. To your left (east) you will see a guard with PK-102 in front of the
door. You cannot open the door because it is electronically locked and you need
a keycard. Head further so see a path to the south (dark room) and to the west.
You will find a flak jacket in the dark room (use flashlight to see the box).
Sneak to the west path to see a guard with PK-102 and a scientist. Kill them.
After that you will find a junction to the south (lab) and to the west (path
with boxes). As you go to the lab, an enemy with PK-102 will attack you from the
west path. Head to the lab, break the window, and use the antigen on the
patients. Now go back and take the west path. Go to the southwest lab (look at
the map) and kill a guard with shotgun. Break the window and inject the standing
patient with antigen - the patient on the bed is dead. Go back to the path and
head west again to reach the west lab. You will find 3 scientists, a dead
patient, and 2 boxes that contain PK102 and flak jacket. Kill the scientists and
inspect them to find a key card in one of their bodies. (#1st CHECKPOINT)
Now that you have the keycard you can now open the locked door. Head back to the
path with boxes, and 5 enemies will swarm you there (that's why they put boxes
in the path ^_^). They are equipped with PK102, shotgun and .45. Then open the
locked door by using the card on the door lock switch. You will see boxes in the
room. Climb the boxes, and an enemy will break the window in front of you and
shoot you. Snipe him. Descend the boxes, and climb the window. Climb down to the
balcony. 3 persons will attack you with PK-102. Face north from where you came.
There will be 3 windows to your left leading to a room. Enter the southernmost
window to see an unarmed scientist - kill him. Go back to the balcony and enter
the northernmost window. Find a K3G4 rifle there. Then go back to the balcony
and enter the middle window. Take the right turn to see a guard with .45 and a
scientist in the corner for you to kill. Then take the first path to the right
(west) and you will find a patient. Entering the room will cause 2 guards with
PK-102 comes. Use the antigen on the patient and take the flak jacket in the
box.
Go back to the path and take the path to the right (west). Go to the path to see
2 guards with and shotgun and PK102 and a scientist with .45. All wear flak
jackets. Search the guard with PK102 body's to find a keycard. (#2nd CHECKPOINT)
At this moment, there should be 2 scientists left to kill and 1 patient to be
cured. Use the keycard to the doorlock and the door will open. The door leads to
the library. There are 3 guards in the lower level, equipped with G18, .45, PK-
102 and they all wear a flak jacket. Climb to the north east box to the 2nd
level. Kill 3 guards with PK-102(2 persons) and .45 (1 person)and flak jackets
on them. Circling your way to the northwest corner of the 2nd level of the
library. Climb the box there, and climb the bookcase. Shoot the window on the
wall, and climb through that window. Cross the bridge and fight 2 men with
shotguns. Climb the window on the other side of the bridge, shoot it, and climb
down to another room. Fight 2 persons there with .45, flak jacket and PK102.
Pick the shotgun in the box near the stair. Enter the lab and cure the last
patient. (#3rd CHECKPOINT).
Take the east path from the lab. Shoot a man with G-18 machine guns on the
corner. Proceed to the south to see a junction. A scientist will run across you.
Shoot him, but beware of the guard with PK 102 on the east side. Behind the
boxes on the east end (near the guard), you will find a box that contains a flak
jacket. Loot the scientist for a .45, flak jacket, and a cardkey (#4th
CHECKPOINT).
Climb the boxes to the west. You will be swarmed by 3 guards with shotguns and
PK-102. One of them is wearing a flak jacket. Climb down the boxes, run to the
south to another boxes. Climb it and you will be attacked by a person with
flakjacket and a shotgun. Climb another boxes to go west. There is a junction to
the north (dark room with boxes) and to the south and a box containing a flak
jacket. A scientist will come from the south path. Kill him (#5th CHECKPOINT).
By now, the only mission left is to find the entrance to the catacombs. Go to
the dark room. You will be welcomed by a person with PK102 from the top of the
box and a person with shotgun from the path where you came. Climb the box to
find a K3G4 rifle. Climb down the box, and go to the south path. Climb to the
attic and 3 persons, all equipped with PK102 and flak jackets, will attack you.
Go south to see a stair leading down. Follow the path and you will see a door
lock. Use the card on the door and open the door. Kill a man with .45 gun, then
climb the window. Climb down, then climb the ledge to your left. Go straight to
the east at the junction, and you will fall to a lower ledge that will connect
to a window in the end. Break the glass and kill 2 men with PK-102. Get a gas
grenade in the box nearby, and climb the box. Take the elevator to your right to
the lower level.
