Solution: Remember that you'll be dealing with similar progress to your trip to Tranquility Lane from the main game. This means the simulation has its own rules and you won't be allowed to use your equipment from the real world. You'll also have to acknowledge a few small changes and I'll tell you more about them when we'll get down to business. Don't forget about McGraw's warning - if you die in the simulator you'll die in the real world as well.

Wait to be transported to the first area of the simulator and listen to a short conversation with Sergeant Benjamin Montgomery [#16]. You should also spend some time analyzing your new equipment. You'll be given a few interesting items, including a silenced 10mm pistol, three explosive charges, winterized combat armor and helmet, Stealth Boy, trench knife and 50 bobby pins. You should choose the pistol from your inventory from obvious reasons. Proceed to the east.

[#16]

You won't have to act stealthy here, however in some situations this may help you in getting rid of your enemies much easier. The first Chinese soldier you'll encounter [#17] should be killed from a relatively large distance. Prevent him from firing back, because otherwise you'll probably have to deal with his colleague. The second soldier will arrive from the left. Also - notice that you won't be allowed to inspect bodies of fallen enemies, because they'll disappear soon after they're shot. Thankfully you won't have any problems finding enough ammunition. Proceed to the platform where the first killed soldier was standing.

[#17]

You must now locate a medium size item called a health dispenser [#18]. You will have to use these objects instead of standard stimpaks to heal your character. Thankfully you won't have to pay for the healing and you'll be allowed to use each dispenser as many times as you need to. Refill your health bar and proceed to the stairs. Be careful, because you're going to be attacked by a second soldier near the draw bridge. You should consider using the V.A.T.S. system while fighting at a close range, however a lot will depend on how many points you've spent on the Small Guns skill.

[#18]

Obviously you must now use the large draw bridge to get to the other side of the canyon. When you arrive at the new location turn right and proceed towards the stairs. Keep heading upwards but slow down near the end. There's a Chinese soldier patrolling the upper platform and you'll have to get rid of him. Turn right and you'll find a small stash nearby [#19]. Use a new health dispenser and take two items - a mine and a sniper rifle. Make sure to create shortcuts to the new additions to your inventory, because you'll want to change your active arsenal often.

[#19]

Return to the upper platform. You must remain careful here, because new Chinese soldiers have arrived in the area. Enemy soldier will cross the draw bridge and the path you've used to get here. I would strongly recommend that you surprise them before they get to your platform [#20]. Don't forget that it's wise to use the scope when firing a sniper rifle. Aim for their heads and don't leave this area until they've been eliminated. You may proceed to the north.

[#20]

When you get to a new room start off by killing three enemy soldiers. One of them will be standing directly in front of you (small balcony) and the remaining two can be found to your left (large pipe). Make sure they've been killed and spend some time looking around. There are a few valuable items here, including mines, grenades and a chinese assault rifle. You should also use an ammo dispenser [#21]. It works identically to the health dispenser, but it refills ammo supplies for your most common weapons.

[#21]

You may now proceed to the only available exit. Keep heading towards the large pipe where two enemy soldiers were standing just before you killed them. Move to the center of the pipe, turn around and use a destroyed draw bridge to get to the upper platform [#22]. You'll find only a Stealth Boy there, so you should go to that location only if you're planning on using these items regularly. Go back down and proceed forward. Turn right when you reach a new cliff.
