entire mission. Same like how you shoot before, hold R1 to lock on the target
for more accurater. Be sure you take the petrol which can be dropped from
enemies when you're not in full life. For those tanks that you can't destroy
them before you pass them, becareful even if the screen was pass them, they
might still fire on your ship from the back. Just keep on shooting until the
end.

 - Section 2 -

part when you have turned to there. Pay attention to the missiles and cannons,
when they're close to you ship, they will change to red colour, dodge it

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 7 -
---------------

 - Section 1 -

At the beginning, equip S weapon and run close to the truck that's near,
destroy it immediately. Later on, destroy the nearest tank before the
helicopter come. When the sector was cleared, destroy the crates on right for
red gold and ammo. You would face two helicopters before you can go further,
one is only drop the bombs, which is very easy to be dodged, another one is the
gatling gun helicopter, be sure you don't waste any chances to shoot it. Now
head to left front, destroy the truck to stop the soldiers spawning. Jump over
the rails on right, shoot down another tank 33 there with S weapon, then save
the prisoner beside.

After the rails, face to right, shoot down all enemies there, the truck there

on the crates, don't destroy the crates or you can't get the CD in the mid-air.
Save three prisoners behind for red gold, smoke and a life. Back to the central
area to destroy two more vehicles, their bombs can only fall on the nearer
area, so just shoot them from a distance. After that, from where you face to

them hiding S weapon. Some more soldiers might hiding there, defeat them if you
see them.

head to rigth corner, destroy the barrels beside the stairs for R weapon and a
life.

Follow the road to left area, sve the prisoner on the crates. Defeat all
enemies in the sealing area, beware of the giant rockets, just keep running
while shooting. Continue the road, destroy another tank 88 on the stairs, then
run up.

For the next sealing area, recommend stay at the back and shoot down all the
soldiers and the helicopter, the tower tank can just leave it for the last.
Finish off the tower tank when you've defeat all enemies, be sure youo take the
life from the tower tank if you're not in full.

 - Section 3 -

Save the prisoner at the beginning for a life, then jump up the stage and take
the blue golds. Also save the prisoner under the tree for G weapon, it's very
useful for the next boss. Now move to the right area to face the boss.

Boss Battle

Don't fight this giant in this section. Run around to collect the different
colour golds if you wish. Make your way to the left area where the metal slug
by. From the slug, move to the left cornet can find a CD. After that, enter the
slug and get into the door in front.

Now back to the first section of the mission 7. Now the boss still shoot at
you, dodge everything while waiting it enter to this section. There are some
more items spawn around, be sure take the life if you're not in full now, also
take the G weapon, it's a good weapon for this boss.

Ok, now aim up to the boss, look between its legs, you can see the machines
rotating and shooting there, that is the weakness of the boss. Try shoot it in
the slug, if you loss the slug, use G weapon for this job. You can't lock the
target on it, so you should aim it manually. Press R1 to aim and move your
target spot to the rotating machine between its legs. Don't move your spotting
target when you spot its weakness, but move your possition to dodge the missles
or cannons. Shoot the machine repeatedly with your G weapon, you can defeat it
before you spend all 20 G weapon.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 8 -
---------------

 - Section 1 -

Here's another different mission, you're driving a submarine underwater. It's
similar control like the airship mission that you've done before. Just lock
the target and shoot until destroy it. The opponent's submarine can shoot the
missle to you, so better destroy it when you spot it.

 - Section 2 -

Keep going on this section, the only problem is the giant fish area. It has lot
of HP compair to other enemies here, consider the boss of this mission. You
have a chance to shoot it many shots while it's going in and out the lair.
Dodge when it comes to hit your submarine. After the hit, the giant fish will
swim to the bottom part, just move your submarine to the upper area. It will
back to the lair after these two rotations, for now just shoot it as much as
you can. When it out from the lair, it will do the same moves like previous.
Blast the missile to kill it faster.

After that, continue to shoot down some more enemies. Later awhile, you would
get mission complete.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 9 -
---------------

 - Section 1 -

Before anything, destroy the barrel on the left to obtain H weapon. Enter the
slug and use it to shoot down all soldiers and vehicle in the front, be sure
destroy the flame tank for first, the rest can shoot from further even before
they can notice you. Afterwards, explore around for some golds, then proceed
over the fallen bridge in the front, be sure take the slug together, remember
you can jump when you're in the slug. Now finish off the soldiers on the left
side, take the DM from the soldiers and other items from the prisoners, then
finish off the enemies on the opposite side. Destroy the boxes and barrels in
the valley for some items, also save the prisoner there.

Head to the area in front will be sealing. First shoot down the tank in the
front and some more enemies on the right hill. Try protect your slug during the
battle, you can jump out and find the petrol when it's almost been destroyed.
If you've lost your slug, equip S weapon to destroy the tanks. Get close to
them you could destroy them with two or three shots.

Once you've done, head to the gate where you can find some blue golds. Pass it
to next area and defeat all enemies there. Later on, enter to the left end
building.

 - Section 2 -

In the first area, you have to kill all enemies, they are just the common
soldiers and flame gun at the start. Some armor soldiers will join the battle
later, they are faster and stronger than normal soldiers, run arount when they
closing to you, or else you would get hit instantly.

Next area, defeat the enemies in the passage. Enter the right room to save two
prisoners, one of them will give you DM weapon. Enter the left room form the
passage to save another prisoner inside, but you have to defeat two armor
soldiers before you can leave here. End of the passage, destroy two spider
machine, just equip HG if you want to save ammo, you can shoot down them before
they can notice you, just keep a distance with them.

Enter the last room of the passage, save all three prisoners inside before you
head to next section.

 - Section 3 -

Shoot down all soldiers, take the two H weapons from the first two soldier.
Equip H or DM weapon when you see a wider area. Move forward to trigger a
scene.

Boss Battle

First of all, run to the right side and take the CD behind the rocks before the
start shooting. For this boss, you should keep closer distance to him, when he
is using the gun, you can stay behind the rock as your shield. When he change
to throwing grenade, shoot and run to him in the same time. When you're near
to the boss, run in a circle surround him, he probably would miss all shots on
you. When you see he's stop moving his direction, change to S weapon instead
of your H or DM weapon. Sometimes he will stop turning and shooting, if this
happens, faster change to G weapon and shoot him, he will become invisible for
awhile when he gets large damage.

When he's ran away, chase him and keep the short distance with him. Before you
can close to him, you should dodge his machine gun shots. Run behind him and
do the same thing until he run away, then chase him again, repeat until defeat
him.

Here's some reminder for this tactic:
As for the G weapon, you don't need to press R1 to aim, just face to him and
shoot. It's like R weapon, you shoot when aiming, the shot will hit on the
ground. If you don't have and G left, replace it with R or S weapon.When you're
surrounding the boss, don't stay to close to him, otherwise you would trigger
out him to cut you with his blade. When you're closing to the boss, you can
shoot him with H or DM weapon while dodging his shots.

shoot down the three beasts before jump over there. Obtain the blue golds on
the stairs, defeat the armor soldier upstairs. When he comes down, you run up,
when he comes up, you run down, you could evade him easily. head up to next

enemies with barrier, shoot them when they barrier dissappear, you can also
damage them with knife even they're protecting by the barrier. This enemy would
shoot you when the barrier has gone, so beware.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 11 -
----------------

 - Section 1 -

Boss Battle

Start with the boss battle. You should shoot his legs until he kneel down, then
blast his face with everything that you have. Recommend save your S weapon for
the next battle, so just use other weapons to damage his legs. Suggest to shoot
on the stage, so when the boss kneel, you can spot his face easier, use R or
G weapon to damage on his face, if you don't have enough ammo of these weapons,
change to H or DM for this job.

 - Section 2 -

Boss Battle

For this boss, you can only damage him when he's open up his eyes. There is
a metal slug by the side, don't ride it first before the hands came out. Keep
running to evade everything, you can shoot the eye balls on the wall for some
random items. Later awhile, you can see two hands drop at the side. Equip your
S weapon, on the target on the eye ball at his hand, jump and shoot it,
probably you would heard some voice from the face after one or two shots. If
the hand that you shot has gone, that's indicated the boss has open up his
eyes. Now enter the metal slug immediately, lock the target on the boss' eyes,
shoot him enough times before he close his eyes, don't bother with dodging when
you're in the slug, just keep on shooting.

When the boss stops using the hand, he will bite you, needless to say you
should get further from him. Out from the slug when the eyes were closed, then
continue running to dodge the hand falling, and lastly a leg falls. After that,
the eye balls will appear again, and you just need to repeat the steps until
you've defeated him. Thing to inform is the hands part, if you shoot down both
of his two hands, some heads will fall from the top, so recommend just destroy
one of his hand was enough. Although the remaining hand could hit your slug,
but you should have enough chance to kill the boss before your slug explode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 5 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

R1 to lock on the target and shoot, it's pretty easy at all. Remember when you
pass the tank before destroy it, it could still firing on your warship from
the back.

Boss Battle

Like how you done for Marco's mission. Final last part is the gatling gun at
the lower part, plus the boss can shoot the homing missiles from the ground,
it could be danger. Suggest to save some missiles from the battle, and blast
all of them to the gatling gun when it's shown, be sure don't miss the shots.

running to dodge the missiles, cannons from the boss.

Once it reached to this area, aim up between its legs, your target was the
flat plate with two rotating machines. Try shoot it in the slug, if you lost
it, equip G weapon to continue this job. You can find some more G weapon around
this area if you don't have enough ammo to destroy the boss. Do remember you
have to aim manually for that part.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 8 -
---------------

You drive the submarine underwater, similar like how you control the warship
in mission 6. The stage is same like Marco's mission, just do the same thing to
clear this stage. Only thing to remind is the giant fish, be sure save 6-8
submarine missiles for this enemy. When the giant fish appears, aim to its
lair, shoot when it shows its head. You can actually defeat it before it does
any move, as long as you have enough missile for it.

them could have some advantages.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 11 -

shoot the helicopter down. After that, you could destroy the central vehicle
before any other enemies detect you, but if you didn't storm to front, you
can't save the prisoners. So you shoot destroy the tank on right first, if you

the life anytime you get hit.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 3 -
---------------

 - Section 1 -

Two soldiers and a balloon soldier, you should defeat them at the start. Turn
right and destroy the tank and another balloon soldier on the left, then
through the crates on right, jump to the rooftop for S weapon. Down to the
end behind the crates to save the prisoner who will give you H weapon. Destroy
the crates for some different colour golds. Run to the other site and save the
prisoner, same area defeat some more soldiers. Continue the path to the sealing
and kill all enemies there, also destroy the tank and truck. Save two prisoners
at the side, and another left from the door to next.

Now defeat very thing in the area, the first would be the tank from left. While
shooting the helicopters or other vehicles, beware of the soldiers come form
your back. Afterwards, turn over to the left site will reach to the appointed
door to next, but before that, face to back from the appointed door. From this
direction, move all the way to the right front. There is a path leads to the
CD, and you will face some tanks 88. Simply shoot the explosive barrel to deal
large damage on the first tank, then destroy the remaining tanks. Head to the
end of this path for the CD and some red golds.

After all, return to the appointed door to next section, don't forget to save
the prisoner left from the door for some G weapon.

 - Section 2 -

Defeat the soldiers in the front, then the vehicle on the left. Of cause is
better use the slug here, beside the slug can find some red golds in the
crates. If you head to the left, you will face the temple cannons, but you
can go to the right area for some additional staffs first. There are some more
soldiers, vehicles and even helicopters, defeat all of them if possible. Reach
to the end obtain the golds and save all the prisoners. Again, you can skip
this part if you don't want to save more prisoners and golds, just head to the
temple cannon for the fight.

Boss Battle

Just shoot at the point where you begin the battle. If you don't have slug,
you have to close to it, run to dodge the missiles while shooting the cannons.

After that, some flying guns will appear, shoot down them before explore for
the golds. The prisoner by right of the temple will give you he life, be sure
you take it if you're not in full.

the door at middle, so beware. Save all two prisoner there for the gold,
destroy the other tower tank at opposite stairs, then back down and use the
door.

Forward to take all red golds until you get mission complete.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 4 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco and Eri's mission, just use the same strategy to clear these
three sections.

 - Section 4 -

Boss Battle

Same like how you defeat it with Marco. If you have the G weapon, use it
instead of S weapon when the boss moving into the ground, be sure you face
right to its eye and don't hold R1 when when using G weapon.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 5 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco and Eri's mission, just to remind you don't let the undeads
close to you, shoot them from a distance. S weapon works well for the giants,
so don't waste them on other enemies. Also save the H weapon for the section 3,
where you do have to destroy the giant rocket, if you don't have much of this
weapon, during section 3 you can find some on the left hold, be sure to use it
well.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 6 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

A mission that you control the warship, same like Marco and Eri's mission.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 7 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco and Eri's mission. Just to remind, prepare full ammo of G
weapon to face the boss, and use the metal slug during the boss battle.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 8 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

A mission that you control the submarine, same like Marco and Eri's mission.
Just to remind, save some missiles for the giant fish in section 2.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 9 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

By the end of section 1, you should enter the building on the left. Before
that, search the corner on the right end, there is a prisoner who will give
you the CD, be sure you save him. You can actually use Marco to obtain this CD
as well, but if you had already took it with Marco, you won't get anymore CD
for now. That's mean it's the same CD with Marco, if you took it with Tarma,
you won't get it with Marco. But even if you took it, you still can save the
prisoner for more points, however he has nothing to give you. I mention it here
is because I'd missed out in my Marco's mission.

This mission same like Marco's, so just use the same tactic to complete it.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 10 -
----------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -

Same like Marco and Eri's mission. Remember the armor soldier and the blue
spider can only shoot the straight line, they can't hit the target isn't with
the same level or horizontal line, stay on the stairs while facing them could
have some advantages.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 11 -
----------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

The same boss, use the same tactics to defeat him. Remember the slug helps lot
for the second battle. If you have Monolith, throw some to the second boss
when he's open his eyes. It doesn't seem to hurt the boss, but the Monolith
deals tons of damage to him, just make sure you toss the Monolith near his
face.

                                    Mission

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 [sep06]

===============================================================================
 - Mission 1 -
---------------

Fio's missions walkthrough were based on my Hard difficulty mode run. 

 - Section 1 -

Follow the waterway, defeat the enemies in the front. Beware of the soldiers
come from the back while battling. When the blue seals had raised, head to the
left side, save two prisoners at the inner area. Now back to the waterway and
defeat some more enemies, also shoot down the tower tank and some soldiers on
the hill. Later on, you need to destroy two helicopter around the waterway
area. Now move to the right side and search the prisoner at the waterfall
bottom, save him for the CD. As for the two helicopters, sometime they will
stick together, so it's very easy to spot them.

After destroying the helicopters and clear up the sector, jump up the hill
where the tower tanks were. Save the last prisoner here, then move to next
section.

 - Section 2 -

Kill the soldiers for first, then the vehicle in the river. Head to the right
and destroy the barrel for H weapon. Move to other site and destroy the tower
tank, then enter the building behind. The prisoner at the first entrance will
give you a life if you save him. The crates at left side hiding some different
colour golds, another lone crate in front hiding a life as well. Try keep
jumping to dodge the grenade while going through, or faster shoot down the
soldiers here. Later on, save another prisoner by the next entrance for H
weapon.

Out from the building, eliminate as many enemies as possible before run down
the slope. After destroying the tower tank for S weapon, save the prisoner
behind it for a life, be sure you take it if you're not in full life, you will
face some helicopters later. Cross the bridge when you're ready.

Boss Battle

Shoot down the helicopters before really get into the battle, equip H weapon
could handle these easier. If you decided to focus on the vehicle, be sure you
have some powerful weapons, destroy it as soon as possible. If you got the
Monolith, spend it to make everything faster. The right side can find a
prisoner who will give you a life. After this, you would get mission complete.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 2 -
---------------

 - Section 1 -

At the beginning, faster toss a few Grenades to the front to explode the barrel
along with some crates, so that could kill all enemies in once. Down to bottom
and take the H weapon, then shoot everything that you can see from further.
Head to left when you just begin the road, save the prisoner for H weapon.
Continue the road and defeat more enemies to unseal here. Save three prisoners
on the left.

After that, jump up the bus and down to other site, shoot down more enemies
here to unseal here, be sure take the H weapon drops from the vehicle. Go to
left area and save two more prisoners there. After all, take the red golds in
front of the hospital. Open the hospital door and shoot down the enemies that
you can see from outside, then storm inside and shoot down the rest if still
got any are not die yet. Now save the prisoners in the counter for a life and
S weapon. After that, run up and kill some more soldiers in front, then save
another prisoner beside the door.

Outside, lot of bombs are and missles are heading to you, faster run away to
right corner, try shoot down some soldiers that you can see. Now enter the
slug and use it to finish off the enemies here. Also save the prisoner opposite
the slug. Follow the road to next section.

 - Section 2 -

Defeat the soldiers that are near you, also destroy the tank. After that, face
to back can see some motorbikers, equip H weapon to shoot down all of them
before they notice you, if you have the slug even better for this job. Save
the two prisoners in the end and obtain different colour golds. Now follow the
road to face more enemies. Defeat the motorbikers by the first line troops, get
some golds, then destroy the tank and kill the grenade throwers in the next
rails line. save the prisoner behind the stone on the right and another on in
the middle of the road. Lately, you will face some more motorbikers and
helicopters, if you want to fight them, lure out the helicopters away from 
enemies and focus to destroy them. After that only finish of the rest in the
end. Don't forget the obtain in the right corner, also save the prisoner for
R and H weapon.

If you don't like to fight the helicopters, you can just ignore them and go to
the appointed path for next section.

 - Section 3 -

Destroy the tanks and other enemies for first. A short scene shows that you
need to destroy the tank 33 in the end. Before anything, take some different
colour golds on the road. Defeat all enemies before you get to the tank 33.
Later on, toss some bombs to the tank 33 to finish off it faster, beware of its
faster cannon shots, but if you keep surrounding it would not have any problem.

Afterwards, run up to right, same four prisoners around the fountain. Shoot
down the soldiers coming up after you've saved the prisoners, then down to the
road and defeat more enemies. You will encounter the tank 33 again, beware of
its cannons, use the same tactic like just now how you destroy it. Now head
back to the fountain, there are four more prisoners in the grasses, one of them
will give you the CD, the rest gives you the ammo, life and S weapon.

Now you goal is reach to the end of the road and enter the building, but
becareful of the motorbikers on the way, they're waiting you at the right side
and the front.

 - Section 4 -

Inside here, you have to save two prisoners at the left corner and one at
upstairs. Afterwards, you will encounter some more enemies when you down from
upstairs, finish off the if you want. Use the door that's unsealed to next
section.

 - Section 5 -

First of all, shoot down the motorbikers, then follow with the soldiers and
vehicle, is better defeat them before the helicopter arrives here, otherwise
they were pretty hard to be handle well. Equip H weapon to shoot down the
helicopter. Take the different colour golds behind the grasses. Enter the
right building, defeat all enemies and save the prisoner inside for a life.
Also take the golds in the counter.

Continue the road until the next corner will be sealing, defeat everything
here to unseal the area. Enter the left building to save four more prisoners
inside. Before you can leave, a tank will come blocking the exit, destroy it
faster with your Grenede since here's not too much space to dodge its shots.
After all, follow the road to the end for another battle.

Boss Battle

As you can see the helicopter and many motorbikers, both are the annoying
enemies, so don't recommend to fight them together. First, you can step abit
forward and try aim to the motorbikers, once the target was locked on, shoot
down him. Before you can shoot down the next enemy, the tank should coming,
so now you must destroy the tank, same time don't run trigger the rest enemies
to attack you. After destroying the tank, continue to shoot down some more
motorbikers before they notice you. If you have R weapon, use it to destroy
them. If you have SR weapon from your previous games, use it to destroy the
helicopter from far, you can destroy it before it moves. But if had lured it
to attack you, no choise, you have to run and shoot it down.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 3 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Tarma's mission.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 4 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco, Eri and Tarma's mission, just use the same strategy to clear
these three sections.

 - Section 4 -

Ok, just some tactics for Hard mode here. Besides the boss has more health,
its shots were much more rusher than Normal mode. After shooting down its
tentacles on the ceiling, you should jump down to bottom and dodge its
missiles. Now it will perform the first strafe like normal, the first different
is the second strafe. Unlikely the Normal mode, now it will shoot out many
green laser, and most of them are coming on you current location, so you must
keep running to dodge them, the green lasers would be reflecting after hitting
on the groud or the walls, so beware. Afterwards, when the boss pop out on the
top, normally it will shoot out the red laser, then the blue homing lasers
repeatedly three times, for Hard mode, it will shoot out four times, so have
to remember run to dodge all four shots of blue lasers.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 5 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco, Eri Tarma's mission, just to remind you don't let the undeads
close to you, shoot them from a distance. S weapon works well for the giants,
so don't waste them on other enemies. Also save the H weapon for the section 3,
where you do have to destroy the giant rocket, if you don't have much of this
weapon, during section 3 you can find some on the left hold, be sure to use it
well.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 6 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

A mission that you control the warship, same like Marco, Eri and Tarma's
mission.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 7 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Marco Eri and Tarma's mission. Just to remind, prepare full ammo of
G weapon to face the boss, and use the metal slug during the boss battle.
If for Hard mode, 20 G weapon might not enough to defeat the boss, so you
must know where are the G weapon during the boss fight. Just in case you have
not enough G weapon, you can find them directly in the arena.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 8 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

A mission that you control the submarine, same like Marco, Eri and Tarma's
mission. Just to remind, save some missiles for the giant fish in section 2.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 9 -
---------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3 -

Same like Eri's mission, expect you've beaten the game before challenge the
Hard mode, so the Monolith can defeat the boss easily. When you successfully
close to the boss, on the target on and throw the Monolith to him. The Monolith
can kill the boss instantly if it's fell upright on the boss.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 10 -
----------------

 - Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -

Same like Marco Eri and Tarma's mission. Remember the armor soldier and the
blue spider can only shoot the straight line, they can't hit the target isn't
with the same level or horizontal line, stay on the stairs while facing them
could have some advantages.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Mission 11 -
----------------

 - Section 1, 2 -

The same boss, use the same tactics to defeat him. Remember the slug helps lot
for the second battle. As for the second battle, throw some to the second boss
when he's open his eyes. It doesn't seem to hurt the boss, but the Monolith
does deal lot of damage to him, just make sure you toss the Monolith near his
face.

- TIPS & HINT -
---------------

As long as yu don't show in front of the soldier, they won't notice you, and
they can't notice you from long distance.

Following are some easy way to avoid enemies spotting range. You could get
the same thing with many other ways, here I just list down one of them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Room 1 -

To obtain the hoe if it's here, wait at 'X' point until the soldiers stop at
the locations like below:
      ____________________
     |                    |
     |                    |
 ____|   #<S              |
         #            #   |

 ____    #            #   |  C = CD
     | X #<S         #    |  H = Hoe
     |              #     |  S = Soldier
     |____________________|  # = Block


Follow the route like below, from X to C,
      ____________________
     |                    |
     |         ,--------. |
 ____|   #<S   |        | |
         #     |      # | |
 (In)    #     H    S># C |
 ____    #     |      #   |  C = CD
     | X #<S   |     #    |  H = Hoe
     |  '------'    #     |  S = Soldier
     |____________________|  # = Block


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Room 2 -

This room has only one soldier, and he won't move to any other places, just
pay attention to where he's facing, you can run pass him very easy. Recommend
stay at 'X' point if the soldier was facing to right. Run to H to get the
hoe and reach to C when the soldier face to left, then wait at C until the 
soldier once again face to left, run pass him to 'X', then leave here.

- Room 3 -

When the left soldier (on top of the map) face to left,
the right soldier (bottom of the map) will face to right.
When the left soldier (on top of the map) face to central,
the right soldier (bottom of the map) will face to central also.

    |__________________________   |
                           |      |
                           |      |
                           |______|

So you just wait at 'X', when the soldiers are not facing to the central,
run to 'Y' through the middle spaces. Obtain the hoe at H when the soldiers
are facing to the central. Then use the same tactic to leave here.

 B = Begin
 C = CD
 H = Hoe
 R = Rocks
 S = Soldier
 # = Blocks

Ok, the last hoe location is here, at the top left corner of the map.
When you going through the soldier in the railway (middle), you can just hide
at point 'X' or 'Y', then wait him passed your location, continue your way,
be sure you run when he's not facing at you. 

To the leftern area, hide on the barrels beside the three soldiers. When they
face to the wall, run pass all of them. If you want to take the CD at C point,
run to there when the soldiers face to the wall, wait at C until they face to
the wall second time, then run pass them.
