Act 2 - Chapter 1 - Ascension City Park I | Act 2 - Chapter 1 Bionic Commando Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Hidden bonuses: 7
Level walkthrough: Turn right and start heading upwards. Make sure to look around a lot, because you'll find the first bonus item on an upper ledge. Start using your bionic arm once you've taken the object and continue heading towards the current checkpoint.
You'll have to find the exit from the caverns, so you'll get to the park. Thankfully there aren't any enemy units in the vicinity, so you may take your time and look around. Make a stop once you've reached a much larger area of the park.
If you look closely you should notice that the second bonus item is floating in the air. Reaching this object isn't going to be easy. You'll have to attach yourself to one of the tree branches, start swinging and release at the right moment to make a perfect jump. Thankfully you won't die if you make a mistake and you'll be allowed to try again.
Explore the area to the left of where you've started. The third bonus item is located next to a small ammunition stash. It can be found easily if you take your time to listen to noises, because there's a radio next to it. As for the fourth bonus item, you'll find it floating near the reservoir and it can be collected without having to make difficult jumps. Just make sure that you're swinging properly and it'll be yours for the taking.
You may now start moving towards the current checkpoint. There's a small group of enemy soldiers there and it would be a good idea to take them by surprise and to attack them from a larger distance. Collect ammunition and proceed towards a new canyon.
You'll get to a new large area with a small island in the center. Proceed to your left. Use your bionic arm and remain close to upper sections. Eventually you should be able to find the fifth bonus item. Approach it carefully, so you won't lose balance and fall. You could also collect this item after the upcoming fight, however it shouldn't be necessary.
As you've probably noticed by now, the central island is being occupied by enemy guards and you should consider eliminating them from a larger distance. Once they're gone get ready to defeat two upgraded Biomechs!
There are a few different methods for you to win this fight. You can kill the first mech by activating the special adrenaline move. Don't forget that in order for this move to work you must first grab the mech with your hook. As for the second machine, you should consider using grenades, a grenade launcher or objects from the environment. Head on to the next zone.
Check the area under the coastal road and you'll find the sixth bonus item. Get to the road and proceed to your right. The final seventh bonus item is hidden next to a collapsed tunnel. Go to the opposite tunnel when you're ready to begin the next mission.
