Wrote till stage 2 2) Introduction Welcome to the game of World Combat, a four-player game that allows you to use rifles to shoot the enemies. The sound and graphics is excellent, and it reminds me of the famous Time Crisis 2, as the most enemies die with one shot (unlike Time Crisis 3). This game is also called Warzaid in Europe. There us also a "Block" system, which allows you to block anything. To block, simply point your gun out of the screen, or block the sensory with your index and middle fingers, and the shield will appear, allowing you to block. Should you not block the bullets/grenades/whatever, you will suffer damage, which is a decrease in your life. Like Time Crisis, there is a "Crisis Sighting". In this game, it comes in the form of Unusually Bigger bullets. I will call it "Sighted Bullets" in this FAQ. At the end of each stage, if you are playing multiplayer (2 or more players), you get to see who's the leader. The leader will obtain an extra life, which will be extremely handy. The leader is chosen by the player's ranks, which is as follows: From lowest to highest: Private second class- Private first class- Corporal- Sergeant- Staff Sergeant- Master Sergeant- Warden Officer- Second class Lieutenant- First Class Lieutenant- Captain- Major- Lieutenant Colonel- Colonel- Major General- General- Field Marshal. If the ranks of two players are equal, the leader position will be awarded to the one with a higher score. However, you should not hog the leadership position, as while you have 15 lives, your friends are struggling to survive. Thus, you should allow everyone to be the leader for once. Allowing the person with the lowest rank to kill the boss or destroy a vehicle, giving him a promotion in rank, can do this. 3) Enemies: -Normal Enemies: --Skeleton: Your normal skeleton. Some hold rifles, some grenades, some pistols, and other knifes. They die in one shot, so it is quite easy and stress reliving to kill them. --Elite Soldiers: They are just like any normal skeletons, dying with only one shot. However, they move faster and carry all sorts of weapons, such as the one in stage 2.2, where they carry everything a normal skeleton will carry. They dress in white, and are the "Bosses" of their stage (Stage 2.2 and Stage 8) -Vehicles: Vehicles come in Armored form (Tanks/APC) or Unarmored form (Helicopter, fighter jets). The difference is that those who are armored will only take damage when you hit their weak spot. Unarmored vehicles will take damage regardless where you hit them, with the exception of the fighter jet in stage 2.1. Jeeps are too small to take damage if they are shot everywhere. Since we are not wimps, only shooting their Guns can destroy the jeeps. Thankfully, only a shot will be enough to destroy it. Destroying vehicles will give you an increase in rank immediately, and thus should be --APC: The APCs in this game usually have a gun mounted on top of them, which is used to shoot you. Their weak point will be their gun. They come in either 1/1-live types (First seen in stage 2.2) or in 5/5 lives (First seen in stage 1) --Fighter Jets: You will meet them in two ways, either they are flying (First seen in stage 2.1) or they are on the ground (Only seen in stage 7) their weak spots will be the Cockpits or the missiles they are carrying. --Helicopters: They are first seen in Stage 4. Their weak spots will be the gun (Stage 4), or the rotor and the cockpit (Stage 9). They usually only have 5/5 lives. --Tanks: They are big and they are nasty. Yet, you can destroy them easily. Unlike all other non-armored vehicles, with the exception of the Fighter Jet found in Stage 2.1, the only way you can damage them is to hit their weak spot, or use a Rocket Launcher. They usually come with only 5 lives, but will have 15 in Stage 6. First seen in stage 2.3 --Anti-Air vehicles: In stage 5, your mission is to destroy them. Their weak spot is their radar dish rotating above those missiles. They are not too difficult, if you keep an eye on where their rockets are so that you can either shoot them or block them. -Bosses: They can be anything, usually in the form of vehicles. However, Stage 2.2 and Stage 8 will show you four elite soldiers, which you have to kill. Destroy the boss, and you will receive a medal, which will give you a 1000 points bonus when you kill them. Along with the 1000 points is a promotion in rank. Weapons: -Rifle This is your normal shooting Rifle. It has the scope function. Just place the gun at your shoulder, and allow the tab at the butt of your rifle to be pressed. The scope will appear, and you can see a magnified area. To deactivate, just let go. -Machine Gun It can be obtained when you shoot the Blue logo, bearing the words 'Machine Gun". It holds 100 bullets, and it allows you to continuously fire by pressing and holding the trigger. It is useful for taking down a lot of enemies at once. -Rocket Launcher It can be obtained when you shoot the yellow logo, bearing the words "Rocket Launcher". The best weapon in the game, as it has a huge splash damage area, and it can take down vehicles in one shot. Best saved to use against the bosses. 4) Walkthrough. Stage 1(Beach) Difficulty: * Items: -Rocket launcher. Can be found during the screen where you attack the APC. Medals to be obtained: 2 This is the first mission, and you should try to keep as many lives as possible. Just clean up the first screen. The second screen will have enemies moving very quickly and will shoot the Sighted Bullets at you. The game will tell you to block, which you should. The forth screen will show an APC. Quickly, shoot the guy on the left to produce a Rocket Launcher. Either uses it for the APC, or save it for the bosses. The sixth screen (bunker screen) will show you grenades and skeletons holding knife to attack you. Either kill them first, or just simply block. Four boring screens in the trench later, you will meet the boss. BOSS: 2 Apaches Difficulty: * Weak Spot: Cockpit. Life: 1/1 If you have the rocket launcher, use it. If not, just aim for the cockpit. Should you be slow, it will show skeletons inside the Apaches, attacking you. You have to kill them in order to make the Apaches move. Blow them both to advance. The next stage will depend on which player managed to be the leader. Player 3 or 4 will be towards the Town; player 1 or 2 will be the forest. Sometimes, you might go to the hotel first, but it's usually rare. The extra life icon can be found on the third part of stage 2 (i.e. if your route is Hotel->Forest->Town, the life will be found at the town stage.) Stage 2.1(Hotel) Difficulty: * Items: -Machine gun. Found on the sixth screen. -[Life]. Found on the fifth screen. Medals to be obtained: 1 You start of in the hotel. Skeletons will be smack right in front of you. Kill them all in the first 3 screens. Note the Melee skeleton at the third screen. At the fifth screen, a skeleton on the left will throw two grenades in succession. Killing him will produce a Life, if this is the third part of stage 2. The next screen will show two skeletons attacking you. Killing the one at the back will produce a machine gun. Once they are killed, look out for the skeletons repelling down and attacking you from the windows. Tenth screen will show a rocket launcher skeleton. Kill him quickly to prevent trouble. You will see skeletons running to attack you. If you are fast enough, you should be able to kill them before they can even fire their rifles. The twelfth screen shows a melee Skeleton. However, he is moving slowly, so you can kill him easily. Two screens later, you will meet skeletons rushing down a corridor, shooting at you. Use the scope to kill them easily. Watch out for the Sighted Bullet, which usually goes for the middle players. Clear the two screens and you will meet the boss of this stage: A fighter Jet. BOSS: Fighter Jet Difficulty: ** Weak spot: Missiles (2). Cockpit. Life: 5/5 Before you have the honour to meet that thing, you have to first fight your way to the roof. The first screen will show three skeletons, two using grenades. Kill them all, and you will start running up the stairs. Just keep shooting at them. When you reach a landing with no more skeletons, arm your machine gun. The first screen will show your squad running, with the machine gun shooting at you. You can only shoot at the Cockpit now. If you have the machine gun, this would be very easy, being able to destroy the plane before it can even threaten you. If you fail, you will have to meet it. The door will open, producing a skeleton. Kill him. The jet will appear from the left, shooting 5 pairs of Sighted Bullets at you. Block them, before quickly unloading into it again. Try to hit the missiles, as it will use them to attack you later. If you miss, it will appear on the right and fire it's missiles at you if it still has them. Block to avoid damage (Whole squad must block to avoid damage). It will then fly to the left, shooting Sighted Bullets at you, before repeating. Blow it to advance. Stage 2.2(Forest) Difficulty: **/***(Night Time) Item: -Rocket Launcher (2). First one when fighting the APC, second one found when you climb to the watchtower. Medals to be obtained: 4 This will be the first mission you will visit in the night, if you have played through the town first. The surroundings are extremely difficult to see, especially at night. Thankfully, the Sighted Bullets are still as visible as ever. Nothing big excepts to look out for all the sighted bullets. Try to aim for the skeleton on the watchtower first, as he has a better view, and will thus shoot more Sighted Bullets. Also, in the third screen, watch out for the Sighted Bullet on the Right, heading towards Player 3. An APC will appear after you move through the trench. One shot is all that is needed to take it down. A guy holding rocket Launcher will appear from the right. Shoot him to obtain the logo and to have the Rocket Launcher. Nothing much for the next few screens, just move as quickly as possible by shooting all the enemies. When you climb on top of the watchtower, there will be a skeleton on the right who has a rocket Launcher. Kill him to get it. Once that is done, I would advise using the rocket launcher against the rest, as they are very accurate, and will thus shoot a lot of Sighted Bullets. Climb down to meet a horde of enemies. Watch out for Sighted Bullets, and keep shooting. After you clear it, you will meet the boss. BOSS 4 Elite Soldiers, carrying Rifles and Rocket Launchers. Difficulty: *** Weak spot: Anywhere on their body. Life: 1/1 More often than not, they will start off this encounter by shooting Sighted Bullets at you. Block and wait. Good things come to those who wait. Once they reload, they will either run, or use their rocket launchers at you. Either shoot the rockets, or simply shoot them. It's tough to shoot them accurately with normally, thus a Rocket launcher should be used if you still have it. Note that the Rockets move extremely slowly, and you need to predict where the enemy is. If you are lucky, you can get 2 of them with one rocket. Just one shot is enough for each of them. Kill them all to advance. Stage 2.3 (Town) Difficulty: */ ** (Night Time) Items: -Machine gun (2) can be obtained at the fifth screen, when you are fighting the APC. The other one can be found when meeting the boss. -[Life]:Found on screen 3 Medals to be obtained: 2 If you had gone through the jungle first, then this mission will be a night mission. Considering that there are street lamps, and you can actually see, it's not that bad compared to the jungle stage. You start off starring the enemies straight in the face. Not too challenging. The second screen will be a bit more challenging, as it shows the roof, with a few skeletons shooting at you. Pick them off quickly. A life can be found on the next screen, if this is your third part of stage 2. A skeleton on the left will produce a life if shot. Two screen later shows another roof top duel. There are 4 of them, three on the top, and one at the lower right. Shoot them quickly, and watch out for the melee skeletons. Next screen will have an APC. A skeleton on the left will produce a machine gun. Shoot and get the machine gun, before switching to the rifle mode. The APC has 5 lives, and should be taken down as soon as possible, as the skeletons will start to shoot at you as well. Once the APC blows up, the explosion will kill the skeletons as well. Your squad will move forward, while looking backwards. If you have not taken the machine gun, this is your last chance to get it. Watch out for the skeleton throwing grenades at your squad on the next screen. You will then see a helicopter crash, before meeting the skeletons inside. Skeletons will be surprised, and will rush at you. Either shoot at the space between the sand bags, or block to avoid damage. Once you have cleared the screen, the boss will come. BOSS 2 Tanks Difficulty: ** Weak Spot: Seems like the ammo storage area (can anyone confirm this?) Life: 5/5 If you have the machine gun, use it now. Keep blasting away at that area. Hopefully, you will be able to blow up at least one of them by the time they start to fire their turret at you. Watch out for the stray Sighted Bullet that sometimes comes your way. It will then circle. If you fail to destroy it before it starts shooting it's turret at you, make sure to kill the skeletons around it before you try to destroy the tank. On the second time (a screen with 4 skeletons), one of them will produce a Machine gun, very useful at this time if you still have two tanks to blow. It will simply circle around you, shooting their turret bullets at you. Blow it to advance. ENERGENCY (2 players or more) Mission: Shoot down all the missiles. Difficulty: * Items: Machine gun on a missile on the left. Number of Missiles: 18 Medals to be obtained: 0 When the mission starts, just aim and shoot. The squad should not steal frags and shoot other squad mate's missiles at the beginning. This requires teamwork. Thus, assign your squad to shoot at their window (1 and 2 towards left, 3 and 4 towards right). A machine gun can be found on one of the missiles. It's not that difficult, in fact, if you have four players, you can finish it before it even starts it's descent towards the ground. Just watch out of sneaky missiles coming from the side of the screens. Stage 3 (Snow) Difficulty: *** Items: -Machine Gun (2). The first one is obtained in the first screen. The second one is at the second house. -Rocket Launcher. The area before you repel down to the ground. Medals to be obtained: 1 When the mission starts, point your rifle out of the screen to block all those sighted bullets. There is no way you can hit them before they hit you without suffering any damage. Usually, there should be 2 skeletons firing at you. Once they reload, shoot them. A machine gun can be found here. Use it immediately to quickly finish off the next 2 screens. On the forth screen (the one with a flat land, without any castle walls), quickly shoot the skeleton at the back to produce a rocket launcher. Use a rocket to blow the area up so that you can avoid damage. On the seventh screen (after you run past the skeletons), a guy on the top right will produce a machine gun. BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE THE ROCKET LAUNCHER, as the rocket launcher is very useful against the boss, shooting the machine gun icon will replace it. The next screen will show enemies around the area, with some trying to crawl up a slope towards you. If you have the machine gun, use it against them. Kill them all to meet the boss. BOSS 1 skeleton With a Flamethrower Difficulty: ** Weak spot: Anywhere on the body. Life: 1/1 "Only 1 skeleton?" you ask. Not so easy. In order to fight it, you have to kill your way there. On the first screen, watch out for the grenades and the melee soldiers. The second and third screen should be no problem, just kill everyone to advance. The forth screen is where the boss is. He will run towards the left first. Switch to the rocket launcher or machine gun. If you are using the rocket launcher, just shoot into the plane, and the blast damage will kill the skeleton. If you are using the machine gun, just spray in the middle when he appears, trying your best to aim in order to kill him. If you have neither, then try to kill him on his first flamethrower attempt. If you can't hit him after 4 seconds, block quickly as the flamethrower can remove your life easily. Once he runs to the right, take down the surrounding skeletons first, before killing him, as they will start to shoot Sighted Bullets at you. Kill the guy with the flamethrower to advance. Stage 4 (Forest) Difficulty: *** Items: -Rocket Launcher. Found on the forth screen. -Life. Found on the second howitzer screen. Medals to be obtained: 8 When you start, be very alert, as Sighted Bullets may come from anywhere. Skeletons will approach you from the back, shooting. Kill them. There is nothing interesting in the second screen, except to watch out for random sighted bullets. In the forth screen, you will see a Howitzer shooting cannons with a Skeleton at the top of the hill. Killing him will produce a rocket launcher. Enemies will try to attack from the left, which should be of no problem. If you wish, you can destroy the Howitzer in this screen, which will help should you need a life later. You will then watch the helicopters fly past. Enjoy them, as you are going to destroy them later. After the helicopter screen, watch out for a melee unit appearing on the left, and a pistol skeleton appearing on the right. Deliver headshots to them, as they are so close. In the next screen, bullets will fly towards your squad from virtually everywhere. Either block or quickly kill the skeletons to advance. The first Howitzer has nothing interesting. Kill the skeletons before destroying the Howitzer if you wish to obtain more points. The second Howitzer has a skeleton that has the life icon when shot. The skeleton is found on the left, and throwing grenades at your squad. Destroy the Howitzer, if you have not done so already in the forth screen. The last Howitzer has nothing to note as well, except the Sighted Bullets are a bit more common in the screen. Quickly destroy the Howitzer. Following the Howitzer will be 2 APCs. They are not difficult, as they will spend their first thirty seconds of so shooting at the rocks. One shot on their weak spot is all that is needed. Using the scope on your rifle will help a lot. One more battle with those annoying skeletons, and you will meet the boss. BOSS 8 helicopters Difficulty: ** Weak spot: The gun turret Life: 5/5 per helicopter When you first meet the helicopters, either uses the rocket launcher to blow 3 of them, or to quickly shoot at them. While shooting the weak spot means an instant destruction, you should simply aim for their body first, as you just need 5 shots on the body for it to explode. Make sure you block when they come towards you, as they will shoot 4 pairs of Sighted Bullets at you. It's not that hard, as they simply follow the same route again and again. However, if time is against you, then you may have to sacrifice a life in order not to get the "Game Over" screen. Just keep shooting and you should be able to advance to the next stage. EMERGENCY (2 players or more) Mission: Shoot all the bombs down. Difficulty: * Items: None. Number of bombs: 22 Medals to be obtained: 0 When the mission starts, simply wait for the red indicator to appear before you shoot. Otherwise, your bullets will simply have no effect. This is the easiest Emergency mission, as you can shoot the missiles when they fall towards you. It's quite hard to actually miss the huge shape of the bomb. There is a slight break after 9 bombs or so, allowing you to reload. Once the indicator appears again, just shoot again. It's extremely easy, and you can gain rank easily. Stage 5 (Forest) Difficulty: *** Items: -Life, found somewhere between the 9th and 10th Anti-Air weapons. -Rocket Launchers (6). There is a possibility that there are more Rocket launchers. They are found scattered across the map. -Machine Gun (2). Both can be found when you are on the air. Medals to be obtained: 15 Once the stage starts, look for a skeleton running on the left. Killing him will produce a Rocket Launcher. A battle tank can be found below. Just use your rifle as his Weak Spot can be shot easily. The first Anti-Air weapon will roll into the area. Use the Rocket Launcher to blast its base. The second will appear nearby. Blast it. The third and forth will appear along with some skeletons. The skeletons will produce a machine gun and a Rocket Launcher. Another two will appear, along with a battle tank. One of the anti-air weapons will produce a machine gun, while the battle tank will contain a Rocket Launcher. Two more will roll into the area. Blast them and your squad will drop down and attack from the ground. On the ground, your team will immediately face two more anti-air weapons. Blast them away, before you will reach a tent area. Bullets will fly towards you from all directions. It is advisable to block and wait. Time is on your side. Five skeletons will appear after the random bullets have stopped. Kill them. You will then move away from the tents. Block to avoid the Sighted Bullets, before shooting the skeletons. One of them will produce a Life. You will then turn away and you will meet two more anti-air weapons, along with a lot of skeletons. If you destroy the anti-air weapon first, the nearby skeletons will die as well. However, if you are going for score, then attack the skeletons first. Once the screen is cleared, you will meet a bunch of grenade throwing skeletons. Either kill them quickly, or block. Once the grenade blast effect is over, keep your shield up, as the anti-air weapons will fire their missiles at you. Once the explosions have stopped, fire onto their weak spot. Once they have exploded, the last one will roll into the screen, ignorant of everything (They are skeletons after all). Destroy it to finish the stage. Stage 6 (Town) Difficulty: **** Items: -Rocket Launcher. Found when fighting the first tank. -Machine Gun (2): The first can be found on the screen after the first tank. The second can be found when fighting the boss, when you are fighting the tanks across the bridge, one of the skeletons will have a machine gun. -Life: Found on the blazing house. Medals to be obtained: 3 When you start, just shoot at the skeletons around. They won't be much of a threat. On the forth screen, you will see the first tank. Not much of a threat, as it only has five lives. However, on the fifth screen, the one when you are running away from the tank, look on the right for a skeleton running to the middle of the screen. Shooting him will produce a rocket launcher. However, switch the weapon and use the rifle to destroy the tank. On the next screen, look out for a skeleton on the left who has a machine gun. You have to be fast, as the skeletons come out slowly, and the machine gunner comes out along with the final batch. The next screen will show a hut. It contains a Life, which can be found on the left. I advise you to use the scope, as it is much faster, since the house is dark, and the skeletons are far away. There are two waves of skeletons in the screen. Watch out for the ones throwing grenades from both sides. One more screen of the skeletons running towards you. Brainless idiots. Blast them, and be ready for the boss screen. BOSS 3 tanks Difficulty: ***** Weak Spot: The gun turret. Life: 15/15 This is probably the toughest mission if you do not have any other weapons other than your rifle. 15 shots multiplied by 3 are 45 shots. On top of that, you have the skeletons to bother about, and you have to shoot at the turret. If you have the rocket Launcher, then it will be easy. When the screen starts, blast the tank right in front. Aim carefully, and you should get the medal. When the screen shifts to the right, destroy that tank as well. Just aim at its base, and you should be all right. However, switch to the rifle in the next screen, and just pick the skeletons off. The tank is too far to be shot, and you could miss easily. Once the next screen starts, you will face the tank head on. Once you have a clear sight of it, blast it. However, if you have the machine gun or the rifle, my advice will be to keep shooting, killing the skeletons first, since you can block the tank bullets easily. A machine gun can also be found on the third screen. Once you realise that the numbers are decreasing, keep shooting at the exact spot. Remember: kill the skeletons first, before heading to the tanks. If you are running out of time, and have 7 lives. Then, just blast away at the tank, ignoring the skeletons. Blow the three tanks to advance. Stage 7 (Airport) Difficulty: ***** Items: -Rocket Launcher: Found on the cargo plane -Machine Gun: Found on the cargo plane -Life: Found on the cargo plane Medals to be obtained: 1 Mission: Destroy 15 airplanes This is probably the toughest mission, especially when you are playing solo. You will start off by seeing a plane right in front of you. However, you can't destroy it, for some unknown reasons. Start by blowing up the planes on the left first. If you are playing a full squad, then simply aim at the airplane body, as it is much larger, even though it may have a 10/10 life. If you are playing solo, then you really need to try hard to aim for the weak spot (the missile), which only has a 3/3 life. After facing three aeroplanes, you will see two aeroplanes take flight. Quickly, take down the skeletons right in front of you, before aiming at the aeroplanes. Just one shot at their weak spot will do. If you fail to destroy both of them, block once the screen changes to avoid the missiles. After a few more aeroplanes, you will reach the cargo plane. Once the screen loads, try to blow up one of the engines. It will be tough as you only have like thirty seconds. However, the screen will shift, and you will have full view on the two other engines. Shoot the leftmost one to obtain a rocket Launcher. Once the screen changes to show you a steel door, ignore it and use the rockets to blow up the remaining engines if you are going for the medal. However, if you are going for the life, then blow up the steel door and it will be there. After the Cargo Plane screens, you will see two more planes. Hopefully, you have at least 11 by now, assuming you missed a few and did not blow up those in the air. Blow up these few, as they are easy pickings, and you should have at least 13. Remember those air planes you could not shoot at the start of the mission, this is where they are important. Just shoot like crazy, and pray that you get the 15/15 mission criteria. However, if you fail, you will lose a life, but will not receive the "Game Over" screen. EMERGENCY (2 players or more) Mission: Defend the city. Difficulty: ***** Items: -Machine Gun: Found somewhere on the left. -Rocket Launcher: Found somewhere on the right. Number of Skeletons: 21 Medals to be obtained: 0 This is the toughest Emergency mission, since I have never completed this mission before. Those skeletons are like ants, with their mindset of just trying to cross the line. There is a rocket launcher, but it is advisable not to pick it up. This is due to the slow reloading speed. The machine gun will be more useful, as you can easily spray across the screen to kill a few skeletons at once. Just try your best, but from experience, it is very tough. I have seen 3 pro players play till here without losing a life, but have failed this stage. However, if you fail this stage, no lives will be deducted and you will just waste a couple of scores. Oh, probably a few thousand from those skeletons lost. Stage 8 (Forest) Difficulty: **** Items: -Machine Guns (2): Found scattered along the map when you are running -Rocket Launcher (3): Found scattered along the map when you are running. Medals to be obtained: 4 You will start this mission off my looking at skeletons parachuting from the sky. It's actually easy. Use the scope to deliver headshots, and avoid the sighted bullets. Once they are dead, you will see a mob of skeletons chasing your squad. A rocket launcher can be found on one of them. However, save it and just use the rifle on the skeletons. Eventually, your squad will stop moving and you have to kill the skeletons before moving. An APC will also roll in, simply use the Rocket Launcher on it and you can start running again. In this second wave, one of the skeletons has a machine gun, which will prove useful in hosing down those skeletons chasing you. Simply move the gun from left to right while holding the trigger, and you will have plenty of the dead bones on the floor. Again, you will stop and stare at the skeletons coming towards you. With the machine gun, it is a very simple task to take them all down. Another APC will roll into the area, awaiting a rocket to be launched from you. The screen will shift, allowing you to look up and at more parachuting skeletons. Do the same for the first bunch of skeletons. However, they fire more Sighted Bullets at you. Still, they are slow and big. Simply block them at the last second and you should be all right. You will start to run again. A skeleton here will have a machine gun here, allowing you to hose them down again. No APCs this time when you stop, just a lot of skeletons. Eventually, you ill run again. This time, a Machine Gun and a Rocket Launcher can be found on the skeletons. Once you stop for the last time, kill off all the skeletons and a tank will roll in. It's courting death. However, save your rockets for the boss and use your rifle to destroy it instead, since it is so near to you. BOSS 4 Elite soldiers carrying Flame Throwers Difficulty: **** Weak spot: Anywhere on their body Life 1/1 This is like the one at stage 3, except you have 4 elite soldiers instead of only 1. When you start, try to look at where the guys are and shoot quickly. If you have the rocket launcher, simply blast the piece of rock they are hiding behind, and you will kill them with the splash damage. If you have the machine gun, you cannot just fire away, as if you concentrate on one, the other's flames will damage you. Try to shoot when they just appear, and block quickly. Alternatively, you can wait for the enemy detector to tell you where the soldier is, and then blast him to oblivion. Kill all four of them to advance to the final stage. Stage 9 (Desert) Difficulty: ***** Items: -Machine Gun (3): First one is found before you attack the helicopter. The second one is found after beating the three tanks. The third one is found when fighting the base commander. -Rocket Launcher: Found when fighting three trucks at once (Missile Launcher and 2 trucks) Medals to be obtained: 1 This is the last stage, and they are not holding back anything to prevent you from taking over their last piece of land. Your squad start off by fighting three tanks at once, each with 5 lives. Focus your fire on one of them first, and try to take it down as fast as possible. A APC will roll in soon, and you have to simply shoot its gun five times to make it explode. Next screen shows a few skeletons, one of them holds a machine gun. Try to obtain the machine gun to make your life easier. Use the machine gun to spray across the screen to clear the skeletons quickly. A helicopter will appear after the screen is cleared. Use the machine gun to spray on the weak spot and you should have no problems. Be fast, as it shoots a lot of Sighted Bullets in a short time. If you still have Machine Gun bullets remaining, switch to the rifle to conserve bullets. Your squad will climb up a watchtower. Simply shoot at all the skeletons quickly, and watch out for those melee units. Once the screen is cleared, a tank will approach the watchtower. Use the remaining machine gun bullets, if you still have any, to destroy the tank, which has 5 lives. The screen will show your squad climbing down the ladder, you will face another tank, plus a bunch of skeletons. You will then face two vehicles next. The third truck will roll in after a few seconds. Either block to avoid the grenades and the Sighted Bullets, or try to shoot the skeletons quickly. A Rocket Launcher can be found on a skeleton on the right. He is the one standing on the road, not on the vehicles. Use the Rocket Launcher to destroy the Missile Carrying truck and either one on the right or the left. Save a rocket for later, using your rifle to destroy the last truck. BOSS Base commander. Difficulty: *** Weak spot: Anywhere on his body Life: 1/1 He will pop his head up occasionally, shooting Sighted Bullets at you. However, ignore him for now, as your main priority is to kill the skeletons protecting as quickly as possible. Time is not on your side, so find that machine gun or use the final rocket and blast it into the underside of the platform. Once the skeletons are dead, the base commander will pop his head out more often. Blow it off to meet the final boss. BOSS One huge ugly skeleton thingy Difficulty: **** Weak spot: His eyes Life: 100/100 Well, this is the last boss, and he's not pretty. However, he is pretty easy to beat, compared to some of the other bosses. Simply aim at his eyes and block when he breathes out fire or uses his hands to attack you. If you are the squad leader, and would like to keep your rank, then block early. Once his life goes below 50, he will regenerate every minute or so. So, shoot quickly. A machine gun is useful here, as it can take down his lives quickly. I have also heard that if you blast a rocket into his face when he is regenerating, he will stop the regeneration. I don't know how true this is, as I seldom have a rocket at this stage. So, just shoot, block, shoot, block, and go on, until he's dead. The only main problem you will have is the time, as if you have taken too long to destroy the three tanks, or took a long time to kill the base commander; you will have a lot of problems trying to win this game. If time runs out, it's game over. However, if you won, the congratulations! You have just beaten the game! Yay! 6) FAQ -Q: How do I get past this stage?
