MSH ========================================================================= 1. Introduction with Version History MSA ========================================================================= Hi,it's me again.It's quite a while since i did a faq,so i decided to do this faq;metal slug 4 for PS2 since I rather experience in this game.This MS4 game walkthrough unoffical guide and I'm not invlove with the company Playmore whatsoever and DO NOT email me about things associated with the company. Now for the story of the game:In the year 2000X, the world trembles in the year of cyber terror crimes. Then, early reports of the new CPU virus via hit the net: " Code name White baby", this virus aim is to take over all the world's military computer system. The terror organization called itself Amadeus proclaims its capability to breach any security network using the "White baby" virus. After hearing the declaration, the international urgent countermeasure conference decides on two main objectives: First to strengthen countermeasures and secondly to take Amadeus down. With all combats works on the way, a commando unit is sent to take them down. In the meantime, it is rumourded that Amadeus is taking down all communications network. So Tarma and Eri are assigned to dispatch as bodyguards to the unit as well as to develop a vaccine to the virus while Marco, Fio and two new members, Nadia and Trevor are taking Amadeus down. Before they are dispatch, they are astonished by new satellite of survelliance pictures of Amadeus members including Reverse Moden!! This can be seen in the demo of the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version History: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.1 3rd Dec 2003 Created the guide,full walkthrough details inside,self-explantory. Part 1: Game basics -------------------- Want to know why some players get very high points after each round? Well,Playmore introduced a way of scoring high points is to grab emblem and when you get them attack aggressively to gain badges.At the end of each round,the badges you score will be added to your score provided you do not lose a life. Some of the scoring ways still retain,like keep your slug till the end of the round to have some bonus points or saving hostages till the end of the round(provided you do not lose a life) will tally and add up your score.The only point I don't understand is when at times I get the I get the emblem,I get one extra badge right away and sometimes I don't. You will die in a few ways: eg:slug exploded while you are in it,bullet hit you etc. ------------------- Metallish system ------------------- There are different emblem called the metallish system to get and each of them represent the time combo for you to score: Green emblem: 30 seconds Red emblem: 8 seconds White emblem: 15 seconds Blue emblem: 10 seconds Highest possible you can score in terms of ranking: 4 white badges = metallish 4 Red badges 4 Green badges 4 Blue badges Ranking of the badges: White Red Green Blue Note: In order to get higher badges,hit and attack more and after you get 4 badges of a certain color,it will advance to a different color badge until you get 4 white badges which is highest in the game. Best bet is to have a H eavy machine and shoot fast or crouch down and press attack button as fast you can because crouching allows attack to be faster than when you stand. -------------------- End bonus score -------------------- Hostage: Every hostage is able to say help now and save them and see a symbol at the bottom.Whenever you save a explorer(female with a bag),extra added bonus is added at the end of the round provided you do not die.Whenever you die,the hostages' symbol you save will be gone and you will have to start over.If you play two player,the person who save more hostages than the other will have extra bonus. Slug: If you managed to save the slug till the end boss stage and beat the boss of the stage with the slug,extra bonus slug bonus will be rewarded to the round. --------------------- Other scoring ways --------------------- One cheap way to earn pts is that you let the chicken move around, let it lay eggs(good ones),let them hatch into chicks and wait for them to grow up to become a chicken to gain more pts!!! Or get some bananas,treasure boxs etc during the game to gain more pts.Note that you will become fat once you consume too many food items. Part 2: Game enemies ----------------------- ************* Grunts: ************* They come in all sorts and their active movement are the same as your controlled characters: - Grunts in rifle Attacks: They can shoot ammo,but they shoot,take some time to reload and then attack again.When near,they use the rifle to kill you. - Grunts with shield Attacks: They are defensive players.

So be fast, be slow and you will lose a life. ********* Mummy: ********* Attacks: Not change in attacks for the mummies,they still have the same attacks like they blow out the purple fume and when you get hit,you become a mummy or create some balls that roll on the floor to hit you to become a mummy.They also come in the form of mummy dogs also. Mummy Dogs: Attacks: They just blow out some round fumes that hit you to become a mummy.Second hit will cause a life if you get a elixir.

Body can take damage before they fall.The orange guys throw bombs abd the purple guys throw purple balls. ************** Snow monsters: ************** Attacks:They just blow out the ice beam that move around,when you get nail,you become a snow man and press joystick quickly to become human again(faster).Or else when it is near you,it take out a bone and hit you with it.

Weapons and slugs MSC ========================================================================= WEAPONS ------------ Handgun: It's a weapon with you always unless you take another weapon.Crouch and attack to speed up it's rate of firing.It's weakness is that it's not powerful in terms of damage,it can't shoot at any directions.But it's range of firing is good as well as it's speed is good also. Speed: 5/5 Damage:1/5 Range: 5/5 Ability: 2/5 Heavy machine gun: Symbol: H The most balance weapon of all the weapons. It can shoot at any range: down,up left,right.Also has a decent pack of ammo for you.Rate of speed of shooting is good although the damage of enemies is not powerful. One of my favourite when getting the shields because it helps to get badges fast.:) It's the only weapon that can shot at any direction provide you know hot to exceute this weapon well. Speed: 5/5 Damage:2/5 Range: 5/5 Ability: 4/5 Dual machine gun Symbol: 2H A new weapon introduced to MS 4. A nice weapon and I kind of like the weapon.It is almost to two heavy machine guns shooting time which means double the damage of a regular heavy machine gun. It's firing rate is also fast.It's weakness is that you can't shoot the weapon in angle at any direction or else it's a new gun which I'm quite impress with. Speed: 5/5 Damage:3/5 Range: 5/5 Ability: 3/5 Drop shot Symbol: D This weapon is quite weak but it's has a good in one aspect: The aftershock is like a regular grenade which helps you kill more enemies at once. But it has many weakness;the range,it also need a ground for the ammo to bounce and explode,direction is poor and it's speed meaning it takes a while for ammo to expode although you can shoot the ammos fast. The damage of this weapon is okay but a weapon I would avoid though. Speed: 4/5 Damage:3/5 Range: 2/5 Ability: 2/5 Flame Chop Symbol: F Very poweful weapon and it's has many advantages. It's damage is good as it's able to get multiple hits at a strong tank or boss with a single shot! Not quite as powerful and fast as shotgun but still a gun which is one of the best. Best of all,it's able to have a small range aftershock after one ammo is trigger to kill more enemies arriving later. But it's range isn't that good as well as it's rate of firing and direction of fire which is it's weakness. Speed: 2/5 Damage:5/5 Range: 2/5 Ability: 4/5 Iron lizard Symbol: I A nice weapon as once it's ammo is release and touches an enemy, an aftershock is created that kill more enemies as it's aftershock range is great. Quite a powerful gun as it's able to kill enemies fast and it's rate of firing is great too but it has many weakness: Direction of ammo is not goon as it always heading to the ground, it need a ground for ammo to travel. Speed: 4/5 Damage:3/5 Range: 4/5 Ability: 3/5 Shotgun Symbol: S A rather old weapon as it's been on every MS game as well as Flame chop. A very poweful weapon as it firing speed in releasing ammo is fast as well as it's rate of destroying is scary.It can kill most enemies with one shoot and the weapon kind of cute meaning when it's kill a enemy, an example is the enemy flies out of the screen when shot, Whoooo~~~~. But it also has weakness: Rate of firing is slow,range is not good and direction is also not good. Speed: 3/5 Damage:4/5 Range: 2/5 Ability: 5/5 Rocket Launcher: Symbol: R An old weapon that's been appearing in all MS games,the advantages of this weapon that when it hits an enemy, an aftershock is created and kill more enemies as well. This weapon also can shoot up and at directions except at 45 degree angles.Speed of shooting is okay but the weapon is not really damaging as it need some rounds to kill enemies.The disadvantage of this weapon is it's hard to shoot rapidly at an enemy and slow to take down powerful enemies. Speed: 3/5 Damage:3/5 Range: 4/5 Ability: 3/5 Enemy Chaser: Symbol: C This weapon is sort of a Rocket Launcher weapon but it can aim and home to enemies at any direction.One of the two weapons that can shoot at any direction but the weapon weak point is that you can't really predict where the ammo where to go as you just move any where to any enemies so it's kind of annoying. But it's speed of shooting is fast though the damage is not really strong. Unlike it's Rocket Launcher counterpart, an aftershock is not created when enemy is hit. Speed: 5/5 Damage:2/5 Range: 4/5 Ability: 3/5 Super Grenade: Symbol: G in green color This weapon is a powerful weapon with just a two shots is enough a bradley!!What's more,there is also a aftershock generated after a hit,enabling to kill more enemies.But per shot is slow and it's not cannot be shoot at any range but it's range is good though. Speed: 3/5 Damage:5/5 Range: 4/5 Ability: 3/5 Bomb: Symbol: A grenade pic or grenades in a box This is given to you at every life and replenish as every stages as it starts. Powerful and it's able to create a vertical aftershock to hit enemies above the stairs or below.Works best at attacking bosses as well as attacking powerful enemies.But the range is not good though you can throw and dump all of them at a fast rate.Grenades in a box will represent bombs or cannons when you are in a tank. Speed: 5/5 Damage:4/5 Range: 2/5 Ability: 4/5 Fire bomb: Symbol: A cracker pic When you get this, it's at stage 3 and 6.It can create a horizontal aftershock which increases range in destroying enemies.Quite a powerful grenade. But it need to hit the ground to be effective. An example is when a grunt with a shield can be kill with a bomb that hit him but fire will not hit him and hit the ground instead before it unleashes its ability.If you take the bomb symbol,the fire bomb will change back to bomb though. Speed: 5/5 Damage:4/5 Range: 3/5 Ability: 4/5 Stone: Symbol: Picture of a stone It just like a grenade,it throws stone instead of grenade,The range is not good,but damage is good but this bomb has no after shock whoch it is one of it's weakness.But you can throw it fast like a grenade which makes up for it's ineffectiveness, Speed: 5/5 Damage:3/5 Range: 3/5 Ability: 3/5 Storm: Symbol:Cloud pic This item helps you on attacks when ever you attack. It uses thunder to damage enemies but it's range of attack is poor as it is always near you and hit directly below of where it is. SLUGS ------------ As you know, there are some new slugs added to the game,so without further ado,here's the guide of the slugs. Fork lift: Able to move around and most importanly,it's function is to raise you higher up or lower.Aslo able to knock down enemies. First found in: Stage 5 Bradley: Able to attack with fire weapon press and it's cannon shoots up then it goes to ground(kind of slow but effective for helicopters or flying objects) or you move the slug down then press the cannon button,but it's slow unlike the enemy bradley attack of releasing several cannons at once and fast too:(. Able to run down enemies. First found in: 2 Ton truck: You cannot use this truck at all but it makes a handly platform,but it can knock you down if it moves. First found in: Stage 3 Walkmachine: Able to attack like a normal slug using vulcan cannon(it attack power is good)though it does not have any missile and it exposes you to enemy attacks.Able to run down enemies. First found in: Stage 4 Metal crow: Blue one is the only one you can get in. Able to attack like a normal slug and it has a good and strong point, it's cannon acts like enemy chaser and attacks where the enemies are(very fast).Able to run down enemies..It also have a shield that protects the slug from being damage. Bike: You can't drive it but you can control it.Fast and speedy with a grenade platform for two players. Normal slug: You can still use this slug and it attacking features like shooting and dumping cannons still there, but it has improve from the MS3,it is able to take damages better and all i can say,it's improve.Able to run down enemies. Slugnoid: Attacks:Able to attack and it's cannon is like a missile that has legs,is like when getting the iron lizard when you are when,the ammo release is the same. Note: When your slug is damage,take the GaS to increase on it's life gauge of the slug, the life gauge is above your life status,you can't miss it.:) Or if you wanna take the gas,it's worth 1000pts. ========================================================================= 3.

Stage 2: Area 1: Shoot the grunt first and then head back the truck to get 5000 pts.Then kill a grunt and take the emblem and rush to the truck you see at the right and attack to score badges and at the same time kill some grunts at the left also.If you are fast enough,you should get metallish early.But do kill the grunts at the left because if you don't do that,they will throw their bomb from a far distance at you(that shock me as I died at there once.).After destroying the truck,then quickly destroy the bradley. Save the hostage for a dual machine gun and then destroy the tank.Then hop in the bradley,shoot up on the roof of the house for a cat.Then destroy the market house,if done right,the old lady will give some items points(5000 pts is the highest for me),then move on and shoot up on the light house for a coin and grab some items like the rocket launcher,bomb.Save the hostage to get a emblem and kill grunts.Move on and kill more grunts and a tank.Move on and kill more grunts,a tank and a helicopter(for this you might want to use cannon since the bradley's cannon shoots up).Then two helicopters,a big tank and some grunts will appear.Kill the lowest helicopter first, then escape and use the grenade laucher to destroy the big tank and kill all grunts and concentrate the helicopter above you.Then hop back to the bradley and save a hostage for a heavy machine gun.Destroy the big tank and save the hostage tied above for a emblem.Escape from the tank and take the bomb left by the big tank and hop back in the bradley and kill all grunts above that appear.Then destroy the door with a picture and then destroy the barricade.Then move on and stay where you are when you see a tank.Don't bother about the emblem(you have metallish already) And kill grunts on top and below and then destroy the sack as well as the tank and move on and use hte cannon on the powerful plane and kill the grunt at the left or knock him down if you want.Then kill the grunts on top and save the hostage but don't get the grenade launcher though.Hop in the ton truck for area 2. Area 2: Go to the front of the to truck and use up and shoot button to spray around to take down two planes(they might move fast and crash you if you do nothing or shoot a missile that slowly advance towards you).Then some grunts with parachute will drop off and kill them all off and take the bear that worth 50,000 pts.Then face another set of planes attacking and destroy them to get a heavy machine gun.Then kill all the grunts that drop off and go to the back of the lorry and destroy the set of planes to get enemy chaser.Kill the grunts that drop off and then kill the grunts coming down with the parachute. Then destroy the three planes with the enemy chaser to reach area 3. Area 3: Then move a bit and use the enemy chaser to destroy the tank and the grunt.Then move a bit to destroy another tank and move on to kill a grunt with shield. Then take the bomb and kill the grunt but don't bother to get the emblem since you have metallish.Destroy the sack and kill the grunt and then jump shoot to destroy the tank.Move on and destroy two sacks and grunts.Then destroy the tank(if you rush that part,grunts at the left and right will come out and force you to move and kill and there's a chance you would die).Then jump shoot and destroy the motorcycle and then kill the grunts coming.Grab the dual machine gun and kill all the grunts.Knife the grunt inside the machine and kill all grunts coming through the hole.Then enter the hole to save a hostage.Then destroy the machine then kill the the grunts coming from the hole again and kill the power plane and take the item and grab the item left by the power plane.Then destroy the machine.Then move on and destroy grunts up,left and right and move on and shoot up for a item and destroy another machine and take all itmes.Move on and destroy another machine and grab the iron lizard and destroy the machine on the top and enter the slug. Then kill all grunts and grab the emblem and destroy the grunt in you way.Then save a hostage and get the bomb.Then use the cannon to kill all grunts with the shield and kill more grunts.Then see a tall tank and jump up and use the cannon and shoot at the top of the tall tank.If done right,the tank will be destroyed with one shot as well as kill a grunt on the top.Then kill the grunts around you and move on kill shoot the platform for the grunt with shield to come down and use the tank to knock him down for a heavy machine gun and kill another grunt.Grab the gas and shoot at angle on the top before the bridge for a monkey.Then go to the bridge and see a familiar figure and face the boss of stage 2. Stage 2 boss: This boss is divided to five portions and each portion have different attacks and I will explain all attacks of each portion to you, Portion 5: It will only shoot one orange bullet at a time after some time at you. Portion 4: There will be grunt with bazooka coming and trying to shoot at you.But if you destroy portion 5 first and it will come down and it will add to another attack which is shooting out of the big missile constantly at you. Portion 3: This portion you will see two kettle like tip attach to it.It will only shoot two flame balls at a time at you.But the range that it releases is unpredictable though so you will need to dodge, Portion 2: Again this portion will also have grunt attack.One near to you will have a rifle,the other has a bazzoka and they see to be coming out after you kill a set of them. Portion 1: You will see your metal slug nemesis here.There's bascially two attacks here.You will see a tank tip that is attach at the top keep moving left and right;that will shoot a missile at a place where it stops.The other attack is that it will shoot some missiles to the top and after a while,the missiles will come down with parachute that will cover all the areas where you have space to roam around. Strategy: Just use your slug to go in front of the layers of portions,use cannon and shoot at it.The aftershock will kill off the grunts at portion 4.Whatever you do,do not destroy portion 5,that would save you a lot of trouble.Then move your slug and escape from the slug to the platform and use the heavy shoot fire at portions 3 and 4.You may get some extra ammos like rocket launcher,iron lizard and heavy machine gun.Then use them to damage portion 3.If you use heavy,jump up and shoot,you will only damage portion 3.If you have iron lizard,jump towards portion 3 and shoot,you will also damage portion 3 only(need some skill though).If you have rocket launcher,just stay at the top of the platform,then point up and shoot to damage portion 3 only.After you destroy portion 3,damage portion 2 roughly until it's about to be destroyed.Then go back in the slug and destroy portion 5 and throw bombs to totally destroy portion 3 and 4.Then portion 2 will be at the bottom and portion 1 on top.Then, use your slug to fire to damage portion 1.You also can use the cannon to shoot and kill the grunts in portion 2 provided that the grunt with rifle appears because the aftershock will destroy the other grunt further away from you.Continue to damage portion 1 until it's destroyed and you complete the second mission. Stage 3: Kill the three grunts that come out of the snowmen,move on and kill two grunts with parachute.Then you will have 2 routes to choose from.Route 1 go forward and route 2 goes down. Route 1: Grab the jewel below fast or the floor will fall to force you to go to route 2.Move on and kill the grunts that appear.Save the hostage for heavy machine gun and avoid the missile from the grunt with missile propeller.Kill the two grunts with parachute and jump over the sack to kill the grunt with missile propeller.Then jump over another sack and kill more grunts and shoot up on the entrance of the cave for a frog and enter it.Once you are inside,use the heavy to spray around to kill the bats and the grunt at the top as well as grunts at the right.Move on and shoot up the walls where the grunt on top you killed earlier is at to get some cabbages(if you take them you will become fat).Then move all the way to the right,killing all grunts as well as the one at the top.Then see a ton truck coming from the left and destroy it.Grab the two itmes boxs for some points and head down again(timing must be right or else the screen will shift the camera angle).Then spray around to kill the grunts at the top then jump up where you see another two items boxes and grab the flame.Kill grunts at the left and go right and near the tank and use the flame on it.That should kill the grunt behind the tank and destroy the tank with the flame then shoot the item box for a iron lizard.Then exit this place.Destroy the metal crow you see and move on and kill the grunts and save the hostage for fire bomb.Then kill the grunt inside the truck and jump on the ton truck and avoid the planes that come at you.Then knife the grunt with the missile propeller and destroy the metal crow for another iron lizard.Kill the grunt you see and move on and avoid the planes (or wait till the planes release the missiles and destroy it with your iron lizard.Jump on the ton truck and destroy the tank and move on avoiding a set of planes again kill or grunts and another tank with the iron lizard,then grab the enemy chaser.Kill more grunts and avoid another set of planes and move on and knife the grunt jumping over the sack.See the pile of logs?Jump over it,if you see a item box,there's a flame inside.If not,don't panic.Shoot the logs and quickly grab the flame or if not jump back at the end of the logs(the bradley might shoot).If you can,follow the logs which will destroy all the enemies for you till you reach the place where a ton truck is..Or move on and see some grunts then use the fire bomb to kill all of them(minimise usage :)) and see another tank and destroy it.Kill all the grunts you see till you see a ton truck. If you have the flame keep it,if not grab the heavy machine gun and head down and move on and prepare for the boss of stage 3. Route 2: Grab the jewel,the floor will break and as you head down quickly destroy the hut you see and move left,avoiding the bombs release by the two powerful planes you see and save the hostage for a heavy machine.Destroy the left plane first and then the right one.Grab the emblem,shoot up when you first enter cave for 30,000 pts and shoot the bats as well as shooting the bear while it's on four legs, you see then the snow monsters.Note that the bear can kill you but you can't kill it but it also can help you kill some enemies as long as you don't shoot it.If done right,you should get metallish but you will run out of ammo.See some snow monsters coming from upper level and from the left.Knife the snow monster once from the left to let it follw you and shoot up to kill the upper level middle snow monster.Then kill the snow monster at the upper level right and kill all snow monsters coming from left and right and head back and kill the last snow monster from the upper level and move on and save a hostage for a iron lizard.Then kill the snow monsters for the upper level with it and kill the snow monsters from the left and right and exit the cave.Jump quickly on platform to platform to kill all grunts as well metal crow with you last few iron lizard ammo and get the heavy machine gun.Kill two grunts you see at the top(one platform has a white emblem and below it somewhere just shoot around for a fish) and jump on one platform and spray to destroy metal crow and kill the grunt that keep appearing on top.Then jump up to kill grunt and jump up quickly to kill tall tank,use a bomb to kill a grunt behind the tank or jump up and enter the osrich slug and save hostage and jump up quick to destroy tank and then destroy the metal crow,shoot up for a fish.Kill a grunt you see and jump up to the arrow platform and shoot up for a fish as well as to kill more grunts that appear.Stay at the arrow platform to destroy the bradley and head up kill grunt and save hostage for 5,000 pts and jump to another arrow platform and shoot up for a fish.Kill grunts you see as well as the metal crow.Exit the slug and grab the heavy machine and kill all grunts that appear.Then head left to the platform and shoot up for 30,000 pts and go to arrow sign to face the boss. Stage 3 boss: This boss has six attacks,general morden attack,cutter attack,missiles onslaught attack,helicopter attack and knock over attack,three bullet attack. General morden attack: He will come out of the super large tank and shoot the bazzoka ammo towards you. Cutter attack: The tank will release a cutter that moves up to the certain range towards you.But note that the when you jump in between the cutter and the tank,you won't die,only the cutter can kill you. Helicopter attack: Needless to say,the helicopter will come and attack you after a while after every helicopter you destroyed. Knock over attack: The tank will move towards you,if it nails you,it will cost you a life. Missiles onslaught attack: The tank will release a few sets of missiles at you to try to kill you.Difficult to shaft but still be able to shaft though.Take note the blinking missile,shoot it,it will reveal some guns like rocket or heavy machine. Three bullet attacks: It will shoot three bullets at you to try to kill you. Boss pattern: Normally the general morden attack will come first,then the cutter attack,some times the Knock over attack,then three bullet attack,then Missiles onslaught attack with Knock over attack after some set of missiles is release.The Helicopter attack is constant throughout the boss stage though.It will repeat the pattern you see until it is defeated. Strategy: Save the two hostages you see to get bomb as well as ammo to which you are carrying. With flame and fire bomb(route 1): Move left to avoid his bazzoka and jump for the second bazzoka.Flame the tank as many as you can and move away when the cutter attack comes and keep destroying helicopters you see.Then go back and flame the boss again then avoid the bullets from the Three bullet attacks and head back to the tank and flame the tank as much as you can.Ignore the helicopter that comes,when the tank does the Missiles onslaught attack,just use the fire bomb to perish the missiles that comes and it will also damage the tank and destroy the helicopter as the after shock of fire bomb is strong.You will beat it now if done right.This method is the easiest and the fastest way to take down the boss of stage 3. With heavy and fire bomb(route 1): 
Move left to avoid his bazzoka and jump for the second bazzoka.Use heavy on the
tank as many as you can and move away when the cutter attack comes and keep
destroying helicopters you see.Then go back and use heavy on the boss again
then avoid the bullets from the Three bullet attacks and head back to the tank
and use heavy on the tank as much as you can.Ignore the helicopter that
comes,when the tank does the Missiles onslaught attack,just use the fire bomb
to perish the missiles that comes and it will also damage the tank and destroy
the helicopter as the after shock of fire bomb is strong.After 3 sets of
missiles that is release,move back,the tank will use the knock down attack and
avoid the General morden attack and use the rest of the fire bombs you have on
the rest of the sets of missiles.Then boss pattern is repeated but kill the
helicopter first as I assume you have no more heavy machine gun.Then when
there's chance,use the last few fire bombs on the boss and you will defeat it.

With heavy and bomb(route 2):

Hmmzzz....,tough one.Use the same strategy With heavy and fire bomb tatic but
when the missiles come down,you have to shoot the blinking one for extra ammo
to survive try to shaft the missiles or just use bomb to perish with it and
move away to the left when the tank tries to knock you down.Then keep attacking
the tank whenever you get the chance.Then damage as much as you can but try to
destroy the helicopter or else it will distract you.Then dump all bombs you
have and you will beat it in no time.


Stage 4:

Kill the two grunts you see.Move on to kill more grunts and boxs that has coins
and ton truck.Then shoot left to kill a grunt and shoot the lampost to get
coins(hit all at once and collect the coins will be more,eg: 10 pts per
coin,get together to increase value 10,20,40...,in other words double the
amount.).Then move on to destroy the tank and enter the walkmachine to destroy
the tank appearing from the left.Shoot lampost for coins.Move on and destroy
the lower helicopter and escape from the walkmachine,save hostage for a heavy
and kill grunts left and right while trying to destroy the helicopter.Shoot
lampost for coins.Then go back into the walkmachine and move on to destroy the
tank and move a bit to destroy the ton truck and also the grunt.Then two
helicopter will appear and destroy the lower one then the upper one.Shoot
lampost for coins.Then move on and choose routes where you want to go.Upper
level is the zombie route and the lower one is the mummy route.

Zombie route:

Use the walkmachine to kill all zombies on the top and the bottom and move on
to kill more zombies.When you see a zombie antidote,stop where you are,kill the
fat zombie and shoot the cross on the top for two hostages,then move on and
save another hostage(altogether 3 hostages) for a heavy and some pts to
score,then kill the zombies that stand up and destroy the ton truck,then crash
the walkmachine to destroy the zombies coming from the right.Then move on and
get some items and kill the HEV suit guys and shoot up another cross for
another two hostages whom will give you some pts and exit this place.Once you
enter the place,shoot up for emblem and move to the right and kill the grunts
with shield and shoot to kill the grunts that come down from the rope as well
the army zombies(aim them,because they are the ones that score you badges).You
should get metallish.Then shoot right to kill more army zombies and grab the
flame and kill the zombie you see and move up the stairs and kill more
zombies.There are two white lamps and use bomb to get some pts.Then move to the
right and do not go down and use flame to kill the zombies that appear.Then
down shoot the zombies at the bottom(not the army ones from the danger barrel)
and jump right to kill all the HEV guys and flame the last two zombies.Get the
zombie antidope for some pts.Do not destroy the another barrel to the
right.Climb up the barrel on the end of the right corner and use bomb to save
three secret hostages.Then save the hostage tie up and do not heavy machine
gun.Destroy the barrel to face the stage 4 boss.

Mummy route:

Shoot the fake mummy for 100 pts and move on and kill mummys and mummy dogs.See
the background statues.There are two that you will come across.Shoot up to
reveal two secret hostages.Move on and get the heavy machine gun and there will
be mummies appearing left and right.Clear them and face mummy dogs left and get
the jewel for some pts.Move to where you see and emblem,use the walkmachine and
crash it so some grunts will die.Get the emblem and shoot where all enemies
like grunts climbing on the rope,grunts with shield,HEV guys,just shoot fast or
retreat a bit and you will metallish here.Here's the so-called infinite
route.Keep the grunt with shield there,leave two purple HEV guys(one appear
from left,the other right,you kill one,only one will appear).They will keep
throwing purple balls that transform to mummies in front of you.Just crouch and
knife them to gain as much pts as you can(it's infinite but time against you
from scoring high pts).Whenever they try to knife you,move a bit to the left to
retreat and sometimes they move away from you and sometimes they try to knife
you again,move little bit by bit to prevent them from knifing you.If you are
trap(as you move,mummies will follow you),use the bomb,its aftershock should
kill the HEV guy(better than a life loss).Play until about 10 seconds left,then
kill everything in sight and move on to kill mummy dogs and get some items from
the item boxs and kill the mummy that appear.Then head up stair by stair and
clear all mummies in sight(just be below them,jump knife and jump knife and you
need to destroy the bat that they produce) and be on top level.Save the hostage
and clear the three mummies in sight and get the elixir and shoot up on exit
sign to gain some pts.

Once you enter this place,shoot up on the wall to gain some pts,clear the
mummies and HEV guys that appear.Go to the right hand side and shoot up to gain
some pts.Stay at the corner and kill the mummies that appear.Move a bit to the
left so that the mummies will appear and move back to right corner and clear
all mummies and HEV guys that keep appearing.After killing for sometimes,a H
and stone will appear.Take them and stay at the left corner and clear more
mummies and HEV guys.After some time, an elixir and shotgun will appear.Take it
for some pts and clear the mummies and mummy dogs until Go sign appear to exit
this area.

Once you are here,climb up platform to kill some mummies,destroy the item
box,but don't get the heavy machine gun.Climb down and move on and kill the
mummy dogs and another item box has fire bomb in it and take it.Kill the mummy
you see and jump to the other platform to clear more mummies.Shoot up to clear
mummy and a mummy dog.Save the hostage for an extra shotgun ammo and you will
see a black hole here;shoot up for three secret hostages.Jump to another
platform and save the two hostages and kill the mummies and kill the grunt at
the exit area and jump to other side to the exit area,this way,you won't get
kill and clear all mummies and grunts from exit sign.Then you will exit this
place and face the stage  boss.



Stage 4 boss:

This boss is divided into three parts:

1st part:Mechanic machine

The top part moving is the one you will need to destroy.Firstly,it has two
attacks:Diving claw and laser shooting.

Laser shooting:

The top part will move towards you and shoot a small laser towards you to the
ground.Very easy to avoid though.

Diving claw:

The top part will suddenly dive down towards you and try to kill you at the
spot you are at.Well it dives down,it crashes the floor and take some time
before it gets back up.Damaging it at the ground does not constitude to damages
to the first form.It also has a electric attack that runs through on the top
part that kills you when contact.

Stage 5 boss:

The stage 5 boss has four types of attacks: Gatling firing,missile
attacking,grunt attacking,ultimate missile attack.

Gatling firing:

If you are not top of ledge of the sinking ship,this attack will be likely to
happen where the grunt below will fire around the ship causing vertical
aftershocks which will kill you once in contact.The fire attack is predictable
as you can see where  the grunt is firing by just where he is pointing the gun
at.

Missile attacking:

If you are at the top of the ledge of the sinking ship,this attack will occur
instead of the Gatling firing attack.It shoots out a few sets of two missiles
that aim towards you(they are not homing missiles).The missiles can be
destroyed,not for blinking missiles as when you destroy it,it may drop some
weapons or even bombs for to grab.

Grunt attacking:

The grunt will keep appearing from the ship and will try to distract enough for
the two above attacks to kill you.If you don't kill them,they might dive and
knife at you or throw bombs at you in the attempt to kill you.

Ultimate missile attack:

This is most powerful attack of the stage 5 submarine boss.It will first
release big vertical missiles moving slowly where it appears and then release
small horizontal missiles that fly from left to right in quite a fast pace and
try to finish you off.The sub will release normally few sets of these attacks
before it rise from the sea again.

Attack pattern:

First attacks are pretty simple.If you are not top of ledge of the sinking
ship,this attack will be likely to happen where the grunt below will fire
around the ship.If you are at the top of the ledge of the sinking ship,this
attack of Missile attacking will occur instead of the Gatling firing
attack.Grunts will keeping coming out of the sub as long as the sub is on the
surface.When the sub goes down,ultimate missile attack will occur for a while
before the sub rises to the surface again and all the attack start all over
again.

Strategy:

With heavy and bombs:

You will get heavy because of the hostages at the last part of area 2.So my
strategy is simple,move a bit to lure Gatling firing attack.Then go to the top
of the ledge,keep firing to damage the sub as well as down spray with heavy to
kill grunts.When firing stops,lure it to fire again and keep using this tactic
until you kill about 4 grunts coming out of the sub and dump all bombs to the
sub and then keep firing the sub to damage it.If you are fast,the sub will be
destroy before it even release it's ultimate missile attack.Even it does,do to
the end of the sub,avoid the big missiles and destroy one in front of you to
the right,then either shaft away from the small missiles or destroy it.Use this
tactic until it finish this attack and keep attacing the sub till it's
destroyed.Or you can lure it to shoot missiles and destroy all missiles and
hope for a blinking missile for some gun to get like enemy chaser,bombs and
rocket launcher,This weapons are good to counter the ultimate missile attack as
the weapons aftershock help to destroy both sets of vertical and horizontal
missiles that is being release from the submarine.

Stage 6(Final mission):

Area 1:

Kill the two grunts you see and take the heavy machine gun.Then destroy the
metal crow for a bomb and go back to the top and kill the grunt.Move down kill
the grunts left and right and choose between the rocket and the heavy.Then move
down and kill the grunts and take the enemy chaser and they will kill enemies
for you.Then kill the grunts and grunts with parachute,avoiding the drop
shot(if you get it just waste it away).Move down and kill more grunts and
grunts with parachute(you will need to dodge and kill them if you don't have
enemu chaser),avoiding the rocket(if you get it just waste it away).Then kill
the grunts you see,avoiding the shotgun(if you get it just waste it away).Then
move down to kill more grunts and grunts with parachute.When you reach the
final part of this area,fours grunts will appear,kill them all to grab the fire
bomb and some ammo.By shooting the right side,then go and kill the upper
one,then clear the left one if you don't have the enemy chaser.Then you will
finish this part of the area to move on to area 2.

Area 2:

When you appear,move on to destroy the sensor and the grunts with shield from
left and right.Then kill the grunts on the top of the box.Then use the handle
to grab the heavy machine gun.Then kill the grunts from the left and jump up
the box weapon sensors then move down and kill the grunt and kill more grunts
moving down the rope and kill the grunt with shield,then jump over the
box,killing the grunt and head back to kill more grunts to save a hostage for
some points.Once you appear,move quickly and kill the two grunts to get the
flame and flame the grunts on the top and destroy the metal crow,then flame the
grunts on the right top,and flame the metal crow from the left and climb up and
shoot on the round thing in the background to get a jewel and head down to kill
more enemies so get the rocket to exit this room.Destroy the weapon sensor you
see,then kill the grunt with shield with the rocket and the grunt on the
rope.Kill the grunt with shield with the rocket and the grunt on the rope again
and move on to kill the grunt with shield and more grunts below and destroy the
weapon sensor.Then destroy the box and the grunt and sensor behind it.Then
destroy the box and destroy another weapon sensor and the grunts climbing down
the rope and save the hostage for a heavy machine gun.Then kill the scientist
you see and exit the room.Then kill the grunt with shield and the other grunts
and move on and see two tall tanks you see.Destroy the left one first with fire
bombs and shooting left and right to kill grunts while trying to destroying the
right tall tank.Then see the three moniters on the top?Shoot up to save a
hostage and get two items for extra points and grab the rocket and exit this
room.Once you appear,shoot one rocket and move a bit to see you kill two
scientists.Use the handle to grab the bomb and once you see a bit of
bradly,stay where you are and destroy it.Ignore the rocket and kill the grunt
you see and move on and see two boxes and on top is a hostage.Kill the grunts
that appear from the left and also the rope and destroy the box to save a
hostage for a banana.Then destroy more boxes to save two more hostages for bomb
and heavy machine gun and kill the grunts coming down the rope to exit this
room.Once you enter another room,kill the grunts and the big tank.Jump over the
laser and destroy the another big tank with the help of two bombs while killing
enemies from the left.Grab the laser and kill the left big tank while wasting
another two bombs(make sure you hit the tank) while killing more enemies.Then
move on and kill more grunts and the robo moden to exit the room.

Then you use two bombs,one on grunt with shield and another on the grunts.Grab
the item left by grunt with shield for some points and use the handle for a
slug to appear.Get in the slug and move on till you see a metal crow,stay where
you are and destroy it and then move down till you reach back a flat surface
and exit the slug.Grab the emblem left and the slug when the tall tank
appear.Jump and shoot the tall tank while also killing the grunts with
parachute and when you are down,knife the grunt appear and near you.After tall
tank is destroyed,quickly shoot the tank and destroy it and kill the grunts.If
done right,you should get metallish(difficult but can be done,thanks to Rokaku
which I modify his way).Head back in the slug and kill the grunts.Then move on
and destroy the big tank and grunts that appear from the left and from the rope
and grab the heavy machine gun and kill the grunt lying down and move on and
kill more grunts and robo moden and destroy the platform with two grunts and
the boxes.Move on and after you kill three grunts lying down,stay where you are
and destroy a robo moden.Then move to destroy the platform with two grunts and
use cannon on the other two robo modens and move on and save two hostage and
grab the rocket and do not destroy the barrel you see.Climb on it and exit the
slug to save the man in suit and for some ammo and bomb.Then exit the room and
prepare for the sub boss.

Sub boss:

The sub boss three attacks:The ripper chain gun shooting,bomb attacking and
knife/whipping attack but two forms:The normal one and the robo one,both forms
have the same attacks but the robo one is faster in speed and can trick you.

The ripper chain gun shooting:
He will shoot some ammo once you are in level of him or when you on top of
him,not on top below him,he will also shoot ammo to try to kill you.He quite
fast so when you  are on top of him,be careful of him as he might shoot,once
you have a wrong footing,you lose a life.

Bomb attacking:
Once he on top of the platform,and you are the other side,it's likely to throw
bombs at you.Note that his bomb has stronger aftershock then yours so note that
as you may be killed by the aftershock.

Knife/whipping attack:
Not sure when he will knife you since this attack appear at the same time.Once
he knife you,you lose a life.If he whips you,you be hit to a corner and you
will get stun and take a while before you get up.

Strategy:

Jump up on the top of the platform and see him appear,avoid his bullet and he
will move down.Then jump over another plaform and use rocket to damage
him.Don't try be offensive,always try to be on top of him so that he won't
shoot his ripper chain gun shooting.After a while,he will turn darker in color
and become a robot.Then he will be faster and more aggressive and he at times
might trick you(you are on top of him),by making you believe his moving to
another side,but he will make a u-turn and jump to one platform to try to use
ripper chain gun shooting to kill you.So always note where he is before you use
your rocket.Don't get too offensive and continue to damage him until he's
defeated.Take his ammo for heavy machine gun and move on to face the final boss
of the game.

Final boss:

This boss is divided into three parts.

First part:

The missile attack:

It will shoot two sets of two missiles each before it proceeds to its second
attack.Note of the blinking missiles,it might drop some heavy machine gun for
you to get.The machine hand may try to kill you in this attack also.

The green ball attack:

It will release some green balls on the top,whenever you are below it,it will
drop and try to kill you once one of the balls hit you.

The green rope attack:

The mahine will release some rings of green rope to move around to try to kill
you.Note that only the green stuff will kill you,so you can dodge around and
move around in order not to let the green rope touch you.It release three
vertical ropes then two horizontal ropes as it attack pattern.

Attack pattern:

The attacks are in order,after the missile attack will be green ball
attack.Then finally the green rope attack.After the two horizontal ropes
finish,the first attack will start over again and the process is repeated until
you have the boss is defeated.

Strategy:

For the first attack,be close to the machine and not to close or the machine
hand will kill you.Shoot the missiles if there are blinking to have some heavy
ammo.When the green rope attack appear,go to the left corner and continue to
damage it.When green rope attack appears,stay where you are and jump in the
first rope and jump to the left as the first green rope comine with each
other,then jump back to the second rope and follow where it moves as the third
rope disappears.Then jump through the two horizontal ropes at stay close to the
machine again.Then continue to use this tactic until the first part is
destroyed.

Part 2:

Combine ball attack:

It will shoot some balls in pattern and try to kill you.Note that the machine
hand may try to kill you if you get too close to the machine though.

Flying machine:

It will shoot up some flying machine and it shoots out green bullets.When you
destroy some of them,sometimes you get the enemy chaser as well as the bomb
will be given to you if you destroy them.

Driller attack:

The machine will release a driller towards you to the end of the screen.Then
after a while it will retract the driller back to the machine where it
belongs.Once you touch the spike,you will lose a life so take note of that.

Attack pattern:

It will release the combine ball attack,then the Flying machine,then the
driller attack.Then Flying machine attack will be there as the driller heads
back to the machine.Then the Combine ball attack will attack and the process is
repeated ubtil the part 2 form of the boss is defeated.

Strategy:

For the first two balls stay near the machine,the third one,go to the back and
jump a u-turn to avoid the bullet and stay there until the gun points to your
direction.It will use the Flying machine attack,destroy them and hope for some
weapons or bombs to drop for you to take.Then the Driller attack will
occur,jump over it and the Flying machine attack will attack again,destroy them
and at the moment the driller starts moving,jump over it or the timing is wrong
the machine combine ball attack will attack to kill you.Then crouch down after
one combine ball attack is over your head and move a bit to avoid another
combine ball attack and go back the corner and jump a u-turn to avoid the third
one and continue to use the tacitc until the boss part 2 form is defeated.

Part 3:

Left and right laser attacks:

The left and right lasers will shoot at your head level or your feet level.So
crouch down and wait and determine and see where they are shooting.Sometimes
they will try to fake you so don't fall to their trap.Don't stay at the corner
as the laser can still reach you.

Bouncing laser attacks:

It will release many lasers that bounces around the screen as tries to fill the
screen up and try to trap you to let you lose a life.

Mulitple laser attack plus orange attack:

The lasers will all come out and shoot and stay there at the same time and the
orange ball attack will be attacking you shortly after that which will cover
throughout the screen to try to finish you off.

Robots attack:

Two robots will appear from left and right and try to kill you as it shoots out
beam if you don't destroy it.Sometimes it will drop some weapons for you as
well as some more bombs for you to take.

Blasting attack:

A big machine above will shoot blast a small portion of the screen at a certain
range and take a while before it disappears and gone.

Attack pattern:

There is no certain attack pattern,but it will try to combine one or two
attacks together in order to try to finish.Example is after the Bouncing laser
attacks, Robots attack will appear to try to trap you or the Blasting attack
will occur with
Mulitple laser attack plus orange attack to try to trap you and force you to
lose a life.

Strategy:

I will only teach you how to counter each attack.But dump all bombs you have
and whenever you get the chance so that the boss will get more damage and be
defeated faster. Continue to attack and use the tacitc below and you will
finish the boss final part in no time.

For Left and right laser attacks:

Watch where it shoot,it either the head level or the feet level,so at the last
moment then jump unless you anticipate its moves.Note that they can fake you so
don't fall to their traps,when the left right lasers some at the same time or
the whole lot comes at the same time,high chance is a fake in order to kill
you.

For Blasting attack:

Just move away where it's shooting and you should do fine.

Robots attack:

Just destroy them and hope for useful items to take.

Mulitple laser attack plus orange attack:

Stay in the middle where's there's a gap between the three lasers at the left
and the two laser at the right,when the orange attacks comes,just jump to avoid
being killed.

Bouncing laser attacks:

Just go to the corner and wait for laser to bounce,then do a short u-turn jump
and go back to the corner,then head to the middle to fully counter the move.

Tough attacks combinations:

For Bouncing laser attacks and Robots attack:

Robot will appear before you try to move to the middle,quickly jump on top of
the robot head as it appears,then bounce on its head and try to bounce to the
left to stay at the middle and destroy the robots to counter this move.

For Blasting attack and Mulitple laser attack plus orange attack:

Since it at time might blast at where you want to stay,you will have no choice
to stay between any lasers,then time your jump  with a diagonal jump so that
you won't get killed by the lasers.

For Bouncing laser attacks and Left and right laser attacks:

After you counter the bouncing attack,just stay at the middle and get focue of
the Left and right laser attacks with the same tactic of countering the left
and right lasers listed above.

After you beat it, you will move able to try to escape from the
aftershock,shoot up for some items to get or shoot at the boxes for some
coins.When you reach the final box,shoot up quickly to save three hostages then
escape the after shock and you complete the game.I won't spoil the story for
you,if you want to know the ending,just drop over an email to me.

Bad ending:Get hit by aftershock,no hostage bonus.

Good ending: Escape from the aftershock,bonus hostages will be there if you
have any hostages.

Enjoy the ending and watch the credit roll.Good day everyone and good luck and
peace out to all readers.
