Jump onto the crates, onto the box and then onto the roof. To your right is a merc; waste him. Shoot out the skylights and then blast everybody you see. Hop down and head toward the doorway without the keypad. Behind the door is a desk with a medkit; grab it. Open the door and take the stairs up. Get close to the doorway but DO NOT WALK INSIDE. Lucy will explode.

Enter the room and you will discover that it was just an exploding dummy. Pick up the keycard and go back to the locked door. Open it and then head downstairs.

*** Checkpoint ***

In front of you and to your right will be some mercs talking. You cannot sneak up on them, so defeat them. Stay near the stairs; some more mercs will come up. defeat them all and then head downstairs. do not forget the medkit, which is on the desk behind the stairs.

Take the only door and you will find some mercs listening to a boombox. defeat them and then chill for a bit if you want. If the music pisses you off, shoot the boombox. Continue along the hallways until you walk onto a balcony. Two mercs will be in front of you - to save ammo, shoot the fuel canister in between them for a nice, big explosion. Three down, seven to go.

Jump down and open the garage door to your right. you will see two mercenaries on the catwalk above you, talking. defeat them or wait for them to leave, and then shoot the switch they were standing near in order to open the next garage door.

This area is crawling with guards. Try to take care of the ones on the catwalks first because there are a gigantic pain in the ass. When there are all dead, shoot the 3 fuel canisters in here, and shoot the fireworks too if you want a nice light show. Six down, four to go. Head to the end of the room and jump onto the stack of crates. Make your way across the room jumping on top of the crates until you get onto the red catwalk.

There are a whole bunch of jumping puzzles next, and it is recommended that you use autojump since manual jumping is so twitchy. Run to the end of this cat- walk and autojump to the next. Jump onto the plank at the end and then get to the next catwalk. Autojump to the next catwalk and then enter the door.

Continue along the catwalks until you reach a large, open storage facility with large stacks of crates and two cranes. Slowly edge down, and pick up the medkit while you are at it. Take a left and then walk forward. In an alcove to your left will be a mercenary struggling with a fuel canister - help him by shooting it. Now go to the switch here and turn on the cranes. Go back to where you came down from and John will make a comment on an exit - you will need to find a way up there.

you will need to jump onto the forklift when it is at its lowest point and closest to the ground level. If you miss the opportunity to do so, wait until it gets back to its original position. Jump on it and wait for it to lift you up to the top floor of crates - there'll be a guard here. BE CAREFUL - shoot him and not the canister; at this range you will get blown up. you will want to jump into this little alcove where the canister is; if you do not get it the first time, just try again.

Once you are on there, wait for the crane to come back and get onto the top of the forklift and not onto the actual platform of it itself. Wait for it to go up to the top level, which should take you onto the top of this crate structure. Jump onto it and climb up the ladder to your left.

Crouch and slowly make your way along the top of the vents to your left. you will need to jump the gaps between the vents; stand up before jumping. you will need to jump about 5 times. Once you reach the catwalk, punch or shoot the grate out and go through.

*** Checkpoint ***

This guy with the forklift will defeat you if you are not quick. Push one of the boxes near you toward the forklift, and use it to jump over the forklift. This takes several tries and it is quite frustrating, but you can restart from the checkpoint. Once you have made it over the forklift it will crash and the driver will die.

Head into the next room and pick up the medkit in the corner to your left. Open the garage door to your left and defeat the 5 mercs in front of you. there is one last merc on the catwalk behind you. Destroy the fuel canister here as well. Seven down, three to go.

Head up the ladder and move close to the end of the walkway. This part is just as annoying and frustrating as getting past the forklift at the beginning of this area. You will have to shoot the penguin balloon and time your jump JUST RIGHT to get across this large gap. It takes a lot of tries to do. You can try the other balloons but the penguin one is the best. If you do not make it, reload your checkpoint. Once you have finally gotten across, activate the conveyor belt switch.

Hop onto the conveyor belt and crouch down. Keep your eyes peeled for enemies, they will be waiting to shoot you. In the second room you pass through you will find a fuel canister on the ground below, so shoot it. A couple of times, the enemies will pop out from behind - use the damage indicator near your health meter to determine where there are shooting from.

When you get to the end, get off the conveyor belt and then head on through to the next room. you will hear a couple of mercs talking - defeat them and destroy the two fuel canisters they had to complete the objective and destroy all ten.

Continue forward and you will hear two mercs arguing over who should inform Frontier that the missiles cannot be launched. Settle the argument for them with your assault rifle and shred anyone else in this room too. Head to the door in the far right corner to activate a cutscene.

Now you have to fight Marlin, the female mercenary you met at the tuna factory. She packs two Desert Eagles, but she's not a great shot. She'll walk around up on the catwalks and alternate between the two of them after she takes a significant amount of damage. Mow her down with the assault rifle to end the level.

Nakatomi Plaza

Head forward and talk to Al; he suggests you help the SWAT team that is going on an assault of the building. Head inside and you will find 3 SWAT team members waiting. As soon as you get in they will start their assault. Eventually, they will start moving to the elevators and that is when trouble begins.

One of them will yell out either "GRENADE!" or "it is A TRAP!" and then a 'nade will be tossed at them. there are too braindead to move away - you are not, so get back and watch it explode in the face of 3 "highly trained" SWAT team members.

Pick up their shotguns and clear out all four guards here. Once there are dead, listen to the conversation between yourself and Al, and then head to the far upper right corner. The elevator there should have its light on. Get inside and take it up. When it stops, get out and take a left, past the giant C4 bomb toward the laptop on the desk.

*** Checkpoint ***

You have 15 seconds to get away from the bombs. Run forward into the office area and at the farthest desk, to your right outside the window is a window washer. Open the window, jump down and activate it. It will lower you down a floor, away from the blast.

Jump back into the building, go through the double doors and take a right. Go past the exit sign and in the first door to your left is a merc and a medkit. Now double back and look for the elevators. Take the only elevator available. defeat the merc inside and ride up to floor 23.

Get out and there will be a merc defeat him and then proceed to the other end of the hallway to a room with three more mercs. Waste them and pick up the walkie talkie one of them drops. Now get back into the elevator and ride up to floor 24.

There are two mercs to your right, and one on a chaingun. defeat them both. Head down the hall to find a merc planting some C4. Take care of him and take the C4 for yourself. Get back into the elevator and ride up to floor 25.

To your left is a chaingun merc, and down the hallway is another one. After you defeat the first guy, plant a C4 charge near the elevator to the right of the one you came out of. Down the hall is another chaingun merc. Now a squad of mercs will come out of the elevator you placed a C4 charge in front of. Blow them up and take the door with the EXIT sign above it to reach a checkpoint.

*** Checkpoint ***

Go upstairs and take a right and go through the door that stands out - usually these are the doors that are unlocked. Go through to find a merc with an OICW. defeat him and grab his toy - this is the weapon you should be using for the rest of the level. Go to the next room and defeat two more mercs.

Keep on room clearing and eventually you will reach a large open room with a whole squad of mercs, including one with a chaingun. Scan the room for a fire alarm and shoot it to distract them all with the water, or just plain defeat them without mercy.

Continue down the hallway and pick up the medkit. Go through the glass doors and down the hall. you will reach an EXIT sign. Take the stairs up.

To your far right are two mercs; waste them. Take another right and there is a room packed to the brim with mercs. Mow down all of them to continue, and then take a left through the glass doors and another set of doors. Continue down the hallway until you reach another pair of different looking doors and inside are two mercs.

defeat these jokers and head out the glass doors to your right and another door to enter a little office area. In front of you is a propped up cubicle wall, and behind it are two mercs, one of which is manning a chaingun. Shoot them and continue.

When you reach a hallway where you are flanked by glass double doors on both sides, go through the ones on your left for a medkit, then double back and go forward through the halls until you see another EXIT sign. Go through these doors and take the elevator up.

*** Checkpoint ***

Have your OICW equipped if it already is not. As soon as the elevator doors open a merc will be waiting in front of you, and a handful more will be waiting to ambush you to your left. Duck in and out of cover from the elevator until you have wasted all of them.

Get out and go down the hall to your right and open the unlocked door here. Inside you will find Lucy with a bomb strapped to her. Pick up the medkit if you wish. You have 120 seconds to find a way to defuse the bomb.

Go outside and defeat the merc to your left, and then turn right and head into the open area here. On the upper level and on the stairs a squad of mercs will come at you; mow them all down with the OICW and go upstairs. Directly in front of you is a glass room with two mercs. defeat them both and search their bodies for the detonator code.

Once you have it, go back down and "use" the code on Lucy, deactivating the bomb. Follow her into the elevator and take it up. When it stops, head forward to the locked door and Lucy will unlock. Now you will need to run a short gauntlet, defeating enemies before they can get Lucy. there is one to your right and three to your left as you run along the rooftop. When you reach the stairs up to the helipad, the level ends.

Holmes Observatory

Be as much of a perfectionist as possible. Get out of stealth mode. Head forward a bit until your OICW targets someone. Indiscriminately defeat everyone the autoaim targets. Watch out for the missiles that will be coming from the missile launchers planted on the rooftop, as well as the mines littered on the ground.

Loot the mercenaries for weapons, but keep moving, you have a gunship on your tail. Head toward the observatory entrance. it is locked, but hide behind the Galaxy Thief III signs as cover. The chopper hovers behind you and expose itself slightly. Shoot it with the OICW. Smoking means it is done for.

When it is down, run to your left and at the far end, on top of some crates, is a rocket launcher. Run to the gates; that should put you out of range of the missile launchers. Rocket the two missile launchers on the roof so they do not pose a problem - you can try to avoid them and you can turn them off later, but it is better to play it safe.

You cannot enter the observatory through the front doors, so make your way to the far left end of the courtyard. you will find an open doorway here. Take it up and see two mercs standing next to a spotlight with their backs toward you. defeat them, then look down from the roof. there is a whole other team of mercenaries for you to defeat. Keep looking around until autoaim targets someone; you have not defeated them all until you get the signature bullet-cam. One of the mercs by the spotlight drops a circuit breaker, so pick that up.

Head to the next part of the roof, where more mercs will be waiting for you. defeat them, then look down from the roof and shoot the life out of the mercs waiting for you in the courtyard.

Now, jump onto the red shingled rooftops until you get down to the courtyard. Go and talk to the wounded security guard until he gives you the master keys and a walkie talkie. Now go back to the rotunda near the red shingled roofs. There are three mercenaries here, with proximity mines interspersed in between. At the end of the rotunda, walk down into this courtyard. Directly in front of you should be a crane.

Shoot the crane, causing it to drop the box it was holding. Climb up the rope and you will be back on the observatory roof. Go to the far end and open the locked door here, which is now accessable because you have the master key.

Equip your circuit breaker from your inventory (D-Pad Left) and walk up to the suitcase bomb. Press the corresponding buttons on-screen. If you do it incorrectly or run out of time, you are screwed. Once the bomb's defused, grab the medkit. You can turn off the power to the missile launchers here. What's of importance is the observatory's dome control - rotate it until the ladder is atop the roof on the left.

Exit this control room and turn right and right again. Jump up onto the higher roof and climb up the ladder. Jump down onto the lens and move down. If you have taken damage, use the medkit. Head down the stairs to find another bomb. Get out the circuit breaker and defuse it, and then proceed.

*** Checkpoint ***

In the office to your left are about five mercenaries waiting - target and defeat the first two through the window, then duck in and out to take care of the one to your left behind the desk. Lastly, pop out and take care of the last two to your right. Go behind the desk the one at the far right end was; there is a med-kit here.

Go through the doors and down the hall, and defeat the guy here. In this open rotuna is a model of the solar system and three mercs. One is directly in front and one is to your left. defeat these two from behind the door. The last one is to your right behind a pillar. defeat him and head downstairs. Take the double doors to your right.

you will have another run-in with Jesse Montana, the actress from the studio. Ignore her. In the alcoves are two mercenaries, and a handful more pop out from the double doors. Waste them all, and then defuse the bomb here. Three down, two to go.

Go into the next rotunda and break the grate, and then crouch and climb the ladder down. Take the only door. there is one merc with a flamethrower waiting around the corner to your left, and another to your right. Right down the hall are two more mercs. defeat them and keep going and another merc is waiting. Now, to your left is a room full of five mercs - pop in and out and let the auto target do its work.

Go down to the end in the room to your right is a merc and a bomb. Get the circuit breaker out and defuse it. One more bomb left. Double back to the hall where five mercs were waiting and take the door here. Proceed down the hallway where another merc waits, until you enter the generator room. Three mercs are on the floor above you, and two below.

Take out the first one above you, then go past the generator and to your left is another merc on your floor. Move forward slightly and another appears above you. To your left another appears on your floor. Squeeze into the little crack here to pick up a medkit. Now make your way out and directly in front of you and above you is the last merc.

Take a right first and defeat the guard behind the door here. Another one awaits you. Flip the switch to raise the gates Frontier's men put in place to lock it down. Double back and take a left, and go up the stairs. Al will have another talk with John. Wait for it to ends before going all the way up.

Activate Hero Time - to your left are three mercs holding hostages. Shoot the one closest to you, and then shoot the two holding the hostages. Shoot 'em til they drop their guns, and then quickly grab the circuit breaker and walk up to the bomb. Defuse it.

Equip your OICW again. Shoot the globe in here to open the locked doors behind you. Two mercs manning chainguns are waiting here - defeat them both. When you start to head toward the doors behind them, approximately ten or so mercs come up from the stairs and try to ambush you from behind. Ventilate them with the OICW or introduce them to Mr. Rocket Launcher. If you do use the rocket launcher, MAKE SURE YOU STILL HAVE A SPARE ROCKET. You should still have one if you have been following this to the letter. When there are all dead, go through the doors and you will be back in the rotunda with the model of the solar system. Take the double doors to your left.

*** Checkpoint ***

You can listen to Castle and Frontier argue which is quite amusing, or get down to business. Shoot all the mercs that you autotarget, and then shoot any that run up the stairs, but DO NOT shoot Castle. Go downstairs. On a dining table to your left is a medkit. Proceed through the doors Frontier left through. it is time for the final battle against Frontier.

In this area, Frontier has placed several proximity mines in the rotunda above him, where you will also find medkits. Frontier himself has a minigun and some grenades. Heal yourself until you are at 100 or close, and then activate Hero Time. You should have enough to take out Frontier with no trouble - just walk up to him and ventilate him. Two clips from the OICW should take him down.

If you do not have any Hero Time, just do it the old fashioned way. Duck in and out from cover and pop him with the OICW, and run back when he tosses a grenade at you. He usually stops tossing grenades and starts running around like a chicken when you have depleted half of his health bar.

However you choose to defeat him, once he's done for a 25 second timer starts. Run up the slope to where Frontier was, then turn left and run up here toward the hallway underneath the big, friendly EXIT sign. Shoot out the doors, and you will be back in the dining room. Shoot out the doors here with the OICW to end up back at the solar system rotunda. To get the hell out of here, equip your rocket launcher and rocket the door, or continually shoot it with the OICW until it breaks. When it does, get out before the timer hits zero to complete this mission and the game.
