Updates: 1.5: I added the rest of the walkthrough for Disk 1.
Introduction:
I’m sorry, but I’m not going to get too elaborate here. I’m not going to setup
the plot for you, or outline the characters. I figure if you want to know that
stuff, and you have the game (which you do, or else you wouldn’t need help with
it) you can just look in the instruction booklet. All I’m doing is a
walkthrough as I go, so… here it is. If you have any questions OR comments,
feel free to email me anytime. By the way, I posted my review for the game
right here at Gamefaqs.com, go check it out. I will update the guide as I go
along, as I haven’t finished the game yet, so I couldn’t possibly write a
walkthrough for the entire game. Okay, enough talk, here we go:
Walkthrough:
When you first get off the helicopter, save. Now that you've done that go over
to the wall and pull the switch. You'll view a cutscene, then head down the
pathway until you meet two guards. Kill both of them,
and continue on until you get to a small building with a ladder. You can climb
up the ladder, but don't do that just yet. Look through the glass window.
After you view THAT cutscene, shoot out the window and hop inside. Pull the
level and ALSO don't forget to pick up a fuse in the very same room. Now, exit
back out through the window and climb up the ladder. On the roof you'll notice
and hand level that you can turn. Turn it, and watch the guard below die. Hop
down the ladder, and take his key. Then proceed to the gate. Continue on,
killing any guards you see, and you will come to a room that requires the red
key card. You should have gotten this from one of the guards you killed, so
cycle through your inventory until you find it. Then open the door. Inside,
kill the guard. You will notice you CAN'T open the lockers just yet, but go
over to the TV's and witness your friend get his ass kick. Walk out the door by
the TV's and continue on,
once again killing any guards you might come across. Be sure to look out for
the LOCKER key. It's right before a long, narrow pathway. You'll eventually
come to a room with pipes and other big machinery (it's right after you come
down the narrow-passageway). Well, kill those two guards and head over to the
big red pipe on your left. Cycle through your inventory until you get to the
fuse (remember from earlier?) Insert the fuse into the box to kill some scum
guards. Now, kill the guard on that floor
and you will notice a door. Well, you can't go in there yet. So head BACK
upstairs to where you kill those guys by inserting the fuse. Needless to say,
you need to proceed across the electrified floor with caution.
Just watch for the patterns, when one panel stops with the electricity, get
onto it and wait for another to go off. Eventually you'll make it to the other
side. Kill the guard, and head to the room where you saw your
friend on TV. Open the locker to get a new gun and the BLUE keycard. Head BACK
towards where the electric floors were, but instead get on the elevator right
before it. Go down. Right after getting off, go to your left and get the wire
cutters from the yellow panel against the wall. Continue on and you will
notice a door. While the "USE" function comes up, you can’t get in regardless.
So, ignore it for now. Kill the two upcoming guards. Open the door with the
blue keycard and watch the cool sequence. Kill the
guards and watch another sequence in which they talk in detail about the
kidnapping and so on. Oh, and that pesky little bomb strapped to Jin's chest
that you have to disarm.... do that and continue o.. oh, you want the disarm
code? Okay, you have to cut 2 wires from each section, and here they are:
First panel: red, blue
Second panel: yellow, red
Third panel: blue, yellow
After that, the guy who killed your friend will run away, and you have to chase
after him. Remember that door at the beginning of this section where I said you
didn’t have the right stuff to get in? Well guess what, you now have some C4
explosives. So head on over to that door, and plant that baby right on the
door. Then get away from there very fast. Go through the burning door, and
then say to yourself “Hey, doesn’t this place look familiar??” Well, that’s
because it is. Remember where you entered the “fuse” earlier in the game? Now
you’re in that same room. Now, go back up that narrow passage (towards where
the floors were electrified earlier) and head to the door that had the blue
keycard in it (the one where you watched your friend get beat down on TV). Only
THIS time, don’t go into the room. Right BEFORE the room there should be a
ladder heading down. Go down and save your game before going out on the ledge.
After you save, go out on the ledge and kill the two guards. Enter the room and
prepare for a fight with the guy who killed your friend!
Boss strategy: This boss isn’t very tough at all. Use the blocks in the room
to your advantage. Shoot him a few times (you should be crouching while
shooting him), then use your evasive tactics (hold L2 + whichever direction you
want to dodge) to dodge his attacks and roll behind the blocks for cover. I
found that my fear meter was very low during the fight, so you can’t make too
many mistakes. It’s a little tricky to pull off, but it shouldn’t be TOO hard.
After you beat him, grab his items. He gives you a key, and notice a place over
on the wall where you can use it. You have to input 4 symbols. Hmm…. Now how
could anyone POSSIBLY know what to do here, right? Well, just walk outside
(onto the ledge where you killed those 2 guards) and notice the flashing, huge
letter symbols. There is your code! Watch a short cutscene and prepare to take
control of Glas.
Once the scene ends, run over to the wall with Glas and push the button.
ANOTHER scene will play out and a helicopter is firing on you! After the
cutscene ends, run to your left, but be very careful not to touch the flames,
because if you do you’ll burn. Run over to the ladder and climb up. Follow the
path (just as you did with Hana in the beginning of the game) taking out the two
guards. You’ll finally come up to the building where you can climb up a ladder.
Now comes the tricky part. Tricky because the helicopter is back, and you have
to be QUICK once you get up the ladder or you’ll be dead. The method I used was
to hold L2 before I ever got my feet on the ground, and then once I did, just
rolled forward. That way you can evade the helicopters gunshots. After THAT is
over with, climb down the other ladder and head over to the left (or right,
depending on which angle you’re at). Pick up the pipe and put it into the
switch on your left. After that is through, shoot the same switch you just put
the pipe in. It will explode and you’ll watch a cutscene. Time to control Hana
again. Watch as Hana knocks the knife out of the guards hand. Now comes the
tricky part. He’s going to chase you around the room, you have to get in the
middle and pick up the knife. So, make him run in circles until you have a
second to spare, and pick up the knife. Then position yourself in a crouch
position, and when he rounds the corner start stabbing! After you’ve killed
him, take his gun and head out to the ledge. Take out any guards you might
find, and watch yet another cutscene in which Hana is held hostage. Now you
will take control of Glas yet again. When you start out, you are on a series of
pipes. The only problem is the pipes will go off (light up) every couple
seconds, so be careful. Listen for the sound, you’ll hear it building up to
when the pipes go off. Make your way straight ahead, and turn the pipe handle.
Then you’re going to make your way back down and head to Glas’ left. It’s kind
of tricky getting there before the pipes go off, but it shouldn’t be a problem.
Once you’ve done that, head out of that area and prepare for another boss fight.
Boss Strategy: The helicopter boss isn’t hard at all. The one thing to
remember is ALWAYS keep moving. Use the evasive roll (Hold L2 + direction)
while he is shooting to avoid his shots. When he stops, you’re going to shoot
the banner (or poster, or towel, whatever it is) and it will fall into his wing
and cause damage to him. After you’ve shot two of the banners into his wings,
roll left until you reach another screen, then shoot the third banner into his
wing and defeat him.
Now you’re back to another familiar area. I found my ammo to be very low in
this portion. I kept dying until I figured out a way to get more ammo. I don’t
know if this is a glitch or if I just had to exchange the ammo. But what I did
was I switched to my double guns, and loaded the ammo. Then I switched BACK to
my single gun and I had about 10 more rounds. After you do that (unless you
have plenty of ammo) take out the two guards and pick up their rifle ammunition.
Head down the corridor until you get to the burning door (remember the one you
blasted with some C4 as Hana?) But don’t go into the door just yet. Head LEFT
to find two guards out on the ledge. Take both of them out (I ran out of ammo
and had to beat the other guard with my club stick). Take their Rifles and then
head through the burning door. Get ready for a semi-difficult fight. There are
a lot of guards that are going to come at you, around seven or eight. Take all
of them out and collect their ammo. Head up the corridor and take out the other
guard. Don’t forget to save here! Then proceed past where the floors were
electrified, and take out the guard in the next section. Keep following the
path, and take out two more guards. FINALLY, head towards the red keycard door.
Of course you don’t have the red keycard, so head down the ladder. Watch the
sequence as Hana is about to be killed. After the clip is over (and Glas has
killed most of the guards) get ready for another boss fight with Mr. Helicopter
and some of his goons.
Boss Strategy: This fight is probably the toughest one yet, simply because
there are people firing at you from behind as well as the helicopter. When the
helicopter STOPS shooting, the people behind you START shooting. So, when the
people behind you are shooting, stand in the middle and shoot the helicopter,
when the helicopter is shooting, take cover behind the wall. It’s as simple as
that…. Well, it’s not that simple, seeing as I died a few million times on this
boss.
Now watch as Hana takes care of business, and get ready to run towards the
helicopter with Glas. Now watch as you are first introduced to Deke. Watch the
final cutscene of disk 1.
