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.

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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Mission 10 - ---------------- - Section 1 - Change to S weapon and destroy the spider on the stairs and wall.

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. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fio 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.

Mini Game _/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \_____| |_________________/__________________________________________________________| [sep08] Beat the main game once to unlock this mini game. It's under 'Extras' menu. You play as a prisoner, the objective is find the hoe and destroy the rocks to flee. You must hide from the soldiers and you must clear this mission within 10 minutes. The rocks that you needed to destroy are at the beginning area and you need three hoes to clean up all the rocks there. The hoe will randomly appear at certain points, they won't appear more than one in the same time, so you can only have one before you use it onto the rocks. After that, you have to search for the next hoe. Besides, you can find three CD inside during the mini game for unlocking the Laboratory staffs. Some ammo of both main and sub-weapon, and many golds can be found in the mini game as well. ----------------- - REFERENCE MAP - ----------------- Note: Here's the reference map, it isn't the actual map in the game. As for the 'Room 2 and 3', I just rotate it abit for easier display. Overview: ______ | | | H | | | | | | | ______| ##\ ____________ | <S\ | | | C ## <S| | Room 3____| |_____ <S/ | | ##### ##/ |_ _| | | | | \ | | | __________ \ \_______| |___________________| | \ | | \ #<------S------># Room 1 | \_____________ _______ _____| | | | | | |_________| | | | | _____| |___ | | | | \ \ | Room 2 | \ \ |__________| \B \ \RR\ Room 1: ____________________ | | | | ____| #<-------S-> | # # | (In) #<-S---H---> # C | ____ # # | | #<-------S-># | | # | |____________________| Room 2: ___________________ | | | #### ####### | | | | #### #### | | #### #### | | #### H #### | | ###<S> #### |____ | #### #### (In) | #### #### ____ | #### #### | | #### C #### | |___####_____####___| Room 3: _____________________________ | | | <S | ___| ########## v ########## | (In) ########## ########## | ___ ########## ########## | | ########## ^ ########## | | S> H | |__________________________ | | | | | |______| B = Begin C = CD H = Hoe (possible locations) R = Rocks S = Soldier # = Blocks < = Soldiers facing direction, keep changing (left) > = Soldiers facing direction, keep changing (right) ^ = Soldiers facing direction, keep changing (up) v = Soldiers facing direction, keep changing (down) - = Soldiers moving route --------------- - 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 | # # | (In) # H S># C | ____ # # | 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. ___________________ | | | #### ####### | | X | | #### #### | | #### #### | | #### H #### | | ###<S> #### |____ | #### #### (In) | #### #### ____ C = CD | #### #### | H = Hoe | #### C #### | S = Soldier |___####_____####___| # = Block ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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. _____________________________ | | | <S Y | ___| ########## v ########## | (In) ########## ########## | ___ ########## ########## | H = Hoe | ########## ^ ########## | S = Soldier | X S> H | # = Block |__________________________ | | | | | |______| 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Overview Map - ______ | | | H | | | | | | | ______| ##\ ____________ | <S\ | | | C ## <S| | Room 3____| |_____ <S/ | | ##### ##/ |_ _| | | | | \ | |X | __________ \ \_______| |___________________| | \ | | \ #<------S------># Room 1 | \_____________ _______ _____| | | | | | |_________| |Y | | | _____| |___ | | | | \ \ | Room 2 | \ \ |__________| \B \ \RR\ 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. _______________ ____________________________________________________________ | \ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ | -| 6.
