Mission 09: ODYSSEUS | Missions: Walkthrough CoD: BO II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Attention! Be sure to take an assault rifle with the Millimeter Scanner, a sniper rifle and EMP grenades.

Objective: Interrogate Raul Menendez

Objective: Get your weapons

Walk up to the door and watch the cutscene. When you regain control over Mason, be sure to take the combatant suppression knuckles from the chest on the left with a word Access (first picture above). Go right, to the armory. Your weapon is hanging here, there are also a lot of other weapons, so don't confuse them (second picture above). First of all, take the assault rifle with the scanner and the sniper rifle.

Objective: Regain control of the ship

Go to the indicated door and open it. Immediately, hide to the right or left, lean out and throw an EMP grenade (picture above). Change your weapon to the sniper rifle and with one shot take out the turret on the ceiling. Then quickly hide back.

Before you go further, go into the room on the right. Exactly in front of you there will be a door that you should open (first picture above). Take a piece of paper from the chest of drawers (second picture above), which will mean passing a challenge.

Hide between the lockers on the left and get as close as possible to the opponents. Wait for a moment and when no one is shooting at you, quickly go into the hallway and then immediately hide on the left, among the next section of lockers. Go forward - an opponent will be hiding on the left, by the door. Quickly take care of him with a blow and hide to the right side of the door. Be careful - another one might come here. Detect the enemies with the scanner (picture above).

Then go to the next room and hide by the door open inwards. Lean out to the right (Salazar should run up to you) and search for enemies (picture above). They will be hiding behind the walls and the couch in the room on the left, they will also be standing on the steps on the right. When the scanner no longer detects any enemies, go to the next room.

Climb the stairs to the right and wait for the door at their top to open. An allied soldier will stand in it - he is going to die or simply fall down. Have the knuckles ready, because in a moment an opponent will run through the door (picture above). Overpower him, look outside the door and check if there isn't another one.

If not, go out and stand on the right side of the corridor to the right. Lean out and start to shoot at the enemies. There are plenty of them in the corridor, they're hiding to the left and right in the doors and behind the boxes (picture above). New ones can also appear. When you've finished off most of them, run into the corridor and hide behind the boxes on the left. At this point, you can easily pass two challenges - killing 20 enemies with the Combatant Suppression Knuckles and killing 8 airborne enemies before they land (see the "Challenges" section for details).

Wait until a new opponent runs inside, kill him and then quickly kill the single enemy, who remained in one of the cabins on the right (picture above). Afterwards, go to the end of the corridor and walk up to the half-open, heavy door on the left. Open it to get inside.

Around the corner on the right there is a second turret. A lot of enemies are running here as well. At the beginning wait patiently, because one of them may run up to you. Only after that can you throw an EMP grenade at the turret (picture above) and destroy it with one or two shots from the sniper rifle. Change your weapon to the assault rifle and start to look for enemies. One is around the corner on the right. Wait until he leans out and shoot him in the head.

Go in through the first door on the right and be ready to quickly overpower an enemy if any comes running to you here. If not, turn left. You should notice a security box with a word Access (picture above). Quickly run up to it and press the use button, but before that you should explore the area to check if there is any opponent on the left. When the cutscene showing how the security box opens begins, your character is immortal.

You will be able to use the turret hanging on the ceiling to eliminate the targets. There are really a lot of enemy soldiers, so the help of the turret will prove invaluable. But don't overheat it! Take half-second breaks between the rounds. First, kill the ones you can see (picture above). Pay particular attention to the orange-lit door on the left - that's where your character is standing, so if you see any enemy there, make sure to kill him. But do not shoot your allies!

Then make the turret make a 180-degree turn. Deal with the rest of the enemies behind the tables and chairs. New ones will be running through the door on the left and right (picture above), do not spare them. When for a long time no one comes running in here, press the use button to get out of the turret.

Watch out for new enemies - they can run in here through the left door! Start to carefully move to the door on the right. Stand near it, lean out and take out the two enemies (one is sitting at the desk on the right, the other is around the corner) (first picture above). Go where the latter was standing. Take out an opponent sitting at the computer with a word "Use" and then lean out to the right - on the other end of the room there are the last two enemies (second picture above). After you've killed them, an allied soldier should come running where they were standing.

There are two things you have to do in this room (picture above). First, take intel (1/3) from the desk to the right and then walk up to the computer with a word "Use" and press the use button. You will get new mission objectives. Go down the stairs to the lower floor and then go to the destination. If, despite the tips given in the guide, you did not take a sniper rifle with you, there will be one by the window.

Objective: Assist the SEALs using a sniper rifle

Your task is to eliminate opponents. They will be climbing the stairs at the end of the landing deck on the left and right (first and second picture above) and hiding behind the line of crates and barrels. Bullets will fly through some of the covers, so keep that in mind. The allied SEALs will attack from your side and they are the ones you need to protect. Look around the abovementioned line and then keep looking at the stairs on the left and right. The more enemies you kill, even before they have a chance to hide, the better. Remember to hold the hold breath button before each shot, which will greatly improve your accuracy.

Objective: Regain control of the ship

Go to the target and then right, up the stairs. Do not go down, however, but stop and lean out to the right. Downstairs there is a large number of enemies. Try to hit those you can (picture above) - to the left and right of the lowered bars. You can see the enemies through the bars but you can't shoot through it. After eliminating at least some of them, sprint down and get down behind the boxes on the left. Immediately, look to the right to check if any opponent is coming out from the left. Next, check the other side of the boxes.

Go towards the stairs, being prepared to shoot all the time, because enemies will be running up the stairs. Go down backwards and watch where you're going. Around the corner of the wall on the right there will be an enemy lurking. Take him out and hide there. Lean out to the left - there is a long corridor and a lot of enemies there (first picture above). For now, do not go there, first throw an EMP grenade, then quickly pull out the sniper rifle and destroy the turret on the ceiling with a single shot (second picture above).

It is worth noting that even if you get rid of the visible enemies, next ones will come running in the very corridor, as well as through the rooms on the right, all the time. That's why, you can't wait - you have to move forward. Of course, don't rush, but try to gradually occupy the area along with the allied soldiers. Enter the long corridor and look to the right. Kill the enemies visible through the windows (but if you get hit too much, retreat in front of the corridor) (picture above).

Start entering the room looking at the door leading to the next one. From here you will be able to kill the enemies in this room and in the right hallway by shooting through the windows and another door (picture above). Also, wait for the allies. Next, run to the corridor on the right and be ready to kill anyone who runs up the opposite stairs. Do not go down the stairs, but first check if someone runs out of the opposite door downstairs. Then jump to the left. Thanks to that you will avoid the opponents' fire, who are standing right in front of you.

Hide on the left side of the door and detect the enemies with the scanner (first picture above). Lean out and shoot them, but most of all, focus your attention on the turret, which you will be able to see through the door and the window further - take it out with the sniper rifle (second picture above).

Then run into the room and immediately kill the enemy who is likely to be on the right (picture above). If he is not there, run up to the security box with a word Access as fast as you can and break into the turret. Again, start shooting at enemies and watch out not to shoot allies. Opponents will be both close and a little further, behind the windows (your character is standing behind one of them). Exit the turret when the area is clear.

Just to the right there is a door leading to a larger room with red pipes. The ones on the right are blocking the way, so go left (here's the turret you've just been using) and look at the stairs on the right with the balcony above them. There is quite a tough fight ahead, so wait for your team-mates and use the scanner. However, you can't wait too long because new enemies will come running in place of the killed ones. At any time, a pair of opponents can appear on the balcony. Moreover, there are several enemies waiting downstairs, one is just to the right, right around the corner and the other one is nearby. Opposite the stairs there are the next ones. There will be one more opponent there and he can put you to a great deal of trouble. That is why, after eliminating the enemies from the balcony (first picture above), clear the area downstairs (second picture above) searching for the enemies with the scanner and eliminating them, and then - when there's only one left on the opposite stairs - sprint down and quickly hide somewhere on the side. Lean out and kill him, then go upstairs and walk up to the marked door. When it opens, stand next to the engineer in the corner on the left and watch the cutscene.

Objective: Kill or wound Admiral Briggs

For a moment, you'll be playing as Menendez. Go up the stairs and approach Admiral Briggs. There is another cutscene to watch and then a decision to take (picture above).

• If you shoot Briggs in the head, the Obama ship will sink.
• If you shoot in the leg or arm (or not shoot at all), the ship will be saved provided you completed the following four strike-force missions: FOB Spectre, Shipwreck, I.E.D., Dispatch.

Make the decision. Then you will again play as Mason.

Objective: Reach the Server Room

Objective: Get to Hangar Bay

Enter the ventilation shaft when the soldier cuts a hole in the wall. The only possible way will lead you to the server room, in which there is Admiral Briggs - dead or alive. Walk up to the computer and wait until the conversation is over. Then move toward the mission markers. When you go down the stairs, turn right and go straight. However, do not go through the entrance lit in red (first picture above), instead go up the stairs on the right. You will find intel (2/3) on the table (second picture above). Only now can you go to the abovementioned entrance and go down the stairs to the hangar. Then walk up to Salazar.

Objective: Find Menendez

Objective: Stop Menendez from taking off

Objective: Get to the VTOL for EVAC

Go right, to the big elevator. As soon as the wreckage of a plane falls down, crouch behind it so that the sea is behind you. Right above you there are a few enemies already waiting for you (picture above). As the elevator rises, quickly eliminate them and pay special attention to the one with an RPG.

When you're at the top, immediately run to the left to the small building, where after a while you should see a word Access (first picture above). Go up the stairs and move the rubble to get inside. Mason will run the CLAW, which will appear in front of you. It will be coming your way, but you can mark targets for it. Try to finish off as many enemies as you can. They are standing on the roof of the damaged plane in the distance (second picture above). When the CLAW goes there, run to it. But you need to be careful - new enemies will be appearing in the area.

Hide by the plane door, on which the enemies were standing, and wait until new ones are running through it. While waiting for the CLAW keep looking through the cockpit to see enemies in the distance on the right and eliminate them (picture above). Only when you see the CLAW and allied soldiers nearby can you move forward.

Stay on the right side of your robot. Exactly to the right of the target there is a little less damaged plane. In its door you will find the last intel (3/3) (picture above). Now you only need to hide somewhere and detect enemies around the plane you are about to use to evacuate. The opponents are behind the plane parts. If there's no one around, just sprint to the destination to complete the mission.
