COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:

This mission will begin with an interesting cut-scene (#1), however you will have to be ready. You will have to perform several important tasks in a few seconds. Listen to what the other member of the JBA organization has to say. After that, you'll notice that the pilot has been poisoned.

This is a very simple mini-game. I'm sure that you won't have any problems finishing it. The objective here is to use both movement keys (#1). This will allow you to save the helicopter from crashing down. Wait for the new cut-scene to appear on your screen. As a result, you will land safely on the roof of the highest building (#2). It's time for the main part of this mission to begin.

I would recommend that you use your nightvision goggles during this mission. Otherwise you would have some problems spotting most of the soldiers. Start off by moving forward (#1). You will have to climb up to the upper platform (#2). Jump over the balustrade. You won't have to worry about the guards. They will be having a longer conversation. As a result, you will have plenty of time to organize your movements.

You will have to use a nearby ladder (#1). This will allow you to reach the roof of this building. Like I've said before, you won't have to worry about the guards. Just make sure that you don't stay here for too long. Now you will have to wait for one of the guards to start moving towards the left side of the screen. Use the rope to slide down to a second building. I'd strongly recommend that you save your progress here. You will have to climb up to the upper platform (#2). You shouldn't be making too much noise here.

Climb down and use the wooden planks (#1). This will allow you to reach one of the containers. It would be best to stay here for a while. Take a look at the guards (#2). You will have to memorize their routes. You won't be able to perform any jumps here. Instead, grab the edge of the container and wait for the right moment to make a move.

You will have to wait for the guards to leave this area. It shouldn't be much of a problem. You just have to be patient. Climb down and start moving forward (#1). As you've probably suspected, you will have to reach a small staircase (#2). Head on to the higher part of the roof. Additionally, you shouldn't be moving too fast, because one of the guards could hear you coming.

I would recommend that you save your current progress here. You will find yourself near a large crane. Start off by opening a metal box (#1) that's going to be located on your left. Next, you will have to activate the console. The objective here is to hack into the system. Just as before, you must to solve a well known mini-game, however you will have less time to find a correct combination. Thankfully, finishing this level will allow you to unlock an upgraded version of the hacking tool. Once you're in the system, turn off the lights. One of the guards will probably come here to investigate (#2). He should be standing on the stairs, so you might as well ignore him.

The enemy I was telling you about will probably use a flashlight, however you won't have to hide. Use a nearby ladder (#1). You shouldn't have any problems finding it. Make sure that you have reached the top of this structure. Start moving forward. Thankfully, the game will try to assist you in reaching the opposite end of this walkway. You will have to make a stop here. Wait for the icon to appear on your screen (#2).

Attach the rope to the top of the structure. You will have to start sliding down. The objective will be to reach a small ledge. We'll plan our next movements from here. Start off by moving towards the left side of the screen (#1). You will have to climb down at some point, however that shouldn't stop you (#2). Keep moving left. You should be able to reach a small pipe. Use it to get down to the lower level. Keep saving your game from time to time.

Now you will have to start moving right (#1). Take your time here. Remember that you aren't allowed to make any mistakes. You should be able to reach a large window. Save your game here. One of the civilians will be looking out the window. You will have to wait for him to turn around (#2). Climb up. You must be quick about it.

Start moving towards the right side of the screen. Once you've gone past the barricade, climb down (#1). You couldn't stay in this position for too long. Keep heading towards your current destination (#2). Also, make sure that you have saved your game.

You will have to perform a very similar action here. Thankfully, it's going to be much more easier to avoid the second civilian. All you have to do is to what for him to pass out (#1). Climb up and move to your right. You should be able to reach the opposite end of the building. Wait for the rope icon to appear (#2). SAVE your game! It's VERY important!!

You will have to perform your next actions very quickly. Start off by sliding down (#1). Make sure that you're using the SHIFT key to speed up this process. You will have to get closer to the meeting area. Once you've reached your destination, open the inventory window. You will have to choose the microphone (#2). Press the USE key. This will allow you to record the whole conversation. You have to do this quickly. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to fulfill this particular mission objective.

Don't worry about Moss (#1). He will be standing by one of the windows, however you'll be quite safe here. Wait for the conversation to end. Hide your microphone. As you've probably noticed, an enemy gunship is heading this way. You CAN'T be seen here. Start sliding down (#2). You should also save your game.

Once you've reached the lower level, head on to the left side of the screen (#1). It's very important that you keep moving. You can't make any unnecessary stops here. Once you've reached a large window, you will have to climb down (#2). Move to your left. You will be safe here. Wait for a few seconds.

You will have to wait for one of the guards to open to window. It would be wise to perform a stealth kill here (#1). You should be able to grab him without any major problems. You could also wait here, however you would have some serious problems avoiding him. Either way, climb up to the new room. Start off by heading on to the next one (#2). Open the door carefully. There's a second guard there. You will have to make sure that he's not looking this way.

Exit the room and turn right (#1). You should be able to locate a light switch. Get close to it. You've got two options here. You can either turn off the lights or sabotage the fuse box (you would have to use your knife). Be careful, though. The guard is carrying a flashlight and he is definitely going to use it. You will have to get past him. Enter the next room. There are some washing machines on your left. Get closer to these objects (#2).

You should be able to locate a new passageway here (#2). Head on to a small tunnel. Make sure that you're not caught, however turning off the lights helped you out. You will reach a ladder in just a few seconds (#2). Use it to get to the upper level. After that, enter the ventilation shaft. You will be able to reach one of the hotel rooms. You will have to take care of a few things here.

I would recommend that you turn off the lights (#1). Open the door and activate your nightvision goggles. Head on to a small room that's going to be located on your right. You will come across a single terrorist here. Knock him unconscious. After that, use his computer (#2). You will have to hack into the system (solve the mini-game). This will allow you to shut off several important security cameras. Save your current progress here. You could consider picking up Sticky Cameras. You will find them on the table.

You will have to go back to the main room of this apartment (#1). Make sure that you're standing in the shadows. You will have to wait for the second guard to get here. Try moving closer. I would recommend that you neutralize this threat. Additionally, it would be wise to hide his body. There's a small corridor ahead of you (#2). That's where you'll need to go. Make sure that you have saved your game along the way.

Stick close to the left wall. You should be able to locate Emile and the rest of his gang very soon. Wait for Emile to start moving (#1). He will be standing on your left. Emile will turn off the light. Follow him (he is going to his colleagues). You will come across a new safe here (#2). I'm sure that you now exactly what has to be done. Solve the riddle in order to be able to open the safe. Bear in mind that you can't stay here for too long.

Once you've completed the mini-game, open the safe and collect a sample of Red Mercury (#1). You could also pick-up some extra ammunition, however I'm sure that you won't need it. Close the safe (just to be sure that no one gets suspicious). Head on to a small room that's located on your left (#2). You will find yourself inside a bathroom.

As you've probably noticed, there's a hole in the roof. You will have to climb up there (#1). Keep moving forward. You won't have to be stealthy here, as there aren't any other enemy units in the vicinity. You will have to enter a small ventilation shaft along the way. Keep moving towards your next destination. You should be able to reach a small server room (#2). Save your game here before you decide to exit the shaft.

Climb down and turn left. You should be able to find a grenade here (#1). You don't have to use the computer, especially since of the guards will arrive here in a short while. You won't have to worry about him too much. Just make sure that you use a nearby ladder (#2). Climb up to the upper level.

You will find yourself on a top of a small platform. The first thing to do here is to make a few steps forward. You will have to attach the rope (#1). Use it to get to the lower platform (#2). You might want to take a closer look at the building. Turn left and keep moving forward. I'd strongly recommend that you save your progress here.

You will have to wait for one of the elevators to show up (#1). Make sure that you're standing on it. Wait for a few seconds. The elevator should go back to the lower platform. Wait for it to get there (#2). After that, move to the right side of the screen. You will a new metal platform here.

You shouldn't have any problems reaching this platform. Keep going straight. You will have to repeat most of these actions in a short while (#1). The objective will be to reach a lower platform. Make a few steps forward (#2). It's very important that you save the game. There are a lot of difficult stunts ahead, so it's easy to make a mistake.

As you've probably noticed, one of the guards will be patrolling this area. You could take care of him right away (#1). This would make the final part of this mission a lot easier. Sadly, it's going to be difficult to avoid the alarm being raised. There aren't any darker corridors here and you would have to hide his body. There's also a camera in this area. You would have to avoid being seen by it. The choice is yours. Once you've dealt with this problem, turn left. You will find a narrow passageway here (#2). You must use it.

Important! Make sure that you're not moving too quickly. There are several searchlights here. You will HAVE TO avoid them at all costs. There's also a second guard ahead of you. He is guarding the entrance to the apartment. Make your way to the main part of the balcony. After that, take care of the guard (#1). Knocking him out seems like a good idea. Thankfully, you won't have to hide his body. Head on to the apartment (#2). SAVE your game here!!

There are FOUR enemy guards in the apartment. It would be best to neutralize them. Start off by heading on to the room that's located on your left (#1). Now you will have to locate two of the remaining guards (#2). They can be found near the second large room. If you're lucky, you shouldn't have any problems knocking these guys out, however you can't make any mistakes here.

If you're not feeling too comfortable about this, you could also use some of the carried Sticky Shockers or Airfoil Rounds. I would recommend that you save at least 2 shockers for later. You're probably going to need them. Once the area has been secured, head on to the left room. You will find a safe here (#1). As you've probably suspected, you will have to solve a well known mini-game to open it (#2). Take the necessary files from the safe. SAVE THE GAME!!

The final part of this mission is going to be VERY difficult. One of the most important objectives will require you to kill dr. Aswat. Sadly, you won't be able to stay here for too long, because your colleagues from the JBA organization will arrive here very soon. Make sure that you have the notes with you. Exit the apartment (#1). Choose the rifle from your inventory. I would also recommend that you arm it with Sticky Shockers. Turn right and start moving forward (#2).

Try getting closer to the elevators. If you didn't kill or neutralize the guard before, you will have to deal with this problem right now (#1). Wait for him to move back. After that, neutralize him with the Sticky Shocker. Lean out CAREFULLY. Try aiming at the bodyguard (#2). You will have to use the shocker to eliminate him.

Move closer to the central part of the room. You will have to be quick about it. Kill Dr. Aswat (#1). I'd strongly recommend that you should be aiming at his head. If you're lucky, you should avoid the alarm being raised. Stand up and start running towards the apartment (#2).

Once you're inside, head on to the room that's located on your right. You will have to wait for the allied gunship to destroy the window (#1). Grab the rope (#2) and start moving towards it. After that, this mission will come to an end.

Fulfilling secondary objectives will allow you to unlock Hacking Device - Software Upgrade and Smoke Grenade - Attachment.
