Walkthrough, Level 10: Defend Priboi
I do not guarantee that this walkthrough is complete.
The route described below is the one I have found be the easiest. I
know and you probably know as well that there are plenty of different
ways to finish the level.
Objectives: |
- Obtain Proximity Mines from storage depot
- To proceed to highest building in abandoned village and wait evacuation
|
The map to this level is quite instructive. Open the map in
an own window by clicking here.
This mission is quite different from the other. You don't decide the pace,
since Priboi has the annoying habit of running into trouble instead of await
your actions. You are forced to follow, if not Priboi will get himself killed.
There are some silent moments though. The action is then again trigged by your
actions, e.g. opening a door or entering a building.
You start by the crashed train. Priboi will start running into the
first compound (why the hell would he run into a military compound when his
follower (you) has an established radio link on which a rescuing team can be
contacted..?) You run faster than Priboi. Don't waste time. Run as soon as
possible, don't stop and look for Priboi, he will run the same track every time
(and believe me, you will have to try this level several times). Run ahead to
the compound's main gate and take out the running guard with your M16. Pick up
his Uzi and don't use the M16 anymore in this compound. You will need M16 ammo
in the abandoned village.
Jump over the closest wall and run between the crates (see screenshot). Look
left after the crates and shoot the guard. Another guard will come running from
behind a crate. Shoot him as well.
Go north-west towards the right (northern) end of the ramp that the
two guards are standing on. Get up on this ramp by jumping up on the wall north
of the ramp and then up on the ramp.
Two guards are standing on the ramp facing away from you. Another one is lurking in
the garage straight ahead. The one in the garage is crucial. If Priboi runs in front
of the garage he is very often killed by the "garage guard". Shoot all three guards.
Depending on your skills you might want to use one of your valuable grenades of the M16.
Now things are silent. Priboi will run in under one of the shelters and stay
there. When you walk up to him he tells you to explore the warehouses. If you
don't walk up to Priboi you will not be able to open the warehouses' doors (yes,
this is strange).
There's a guard patrolling in front of the warehouse. Stand by Priboi's side
and observe him. When he starts walking rightwards, run forward, jump over wall,
run around the next wall and shoot the guard in the back.
Open the door to
the warehouse. Run in straight-ahead. To the left behind a crate is a guard.
Read here
how you should take him out without taking damage. Pick up
5 proximity mines and exit the warehouse.
Turn right and walk to and enter the office building to the right of
the main gate. Behind the first door in the building is a guard. Open door and
shoot him, then back off around the corner. Two more guards will come running,
but they will stop in the opening of the doorway and make easy targets (see
screenshot). When they're gone, pick up their AK47s and exit the building.
In the next step you shall place proximity mines in the
village. You have the opportunity to choose if you want to stress a bit or take
it extremely easy. Once you open the main gate from the checkpoint by the gate
Priboi will start to run. You can however exit the first compound the same way
you came in, then go to the village, place your mines and return to the compound
and open the gate. If you don't waste too much time you will make it if you open
the gate and let Priboi out (it's rather boring to run the whole way around and
back).
Enter checkpoint and open the gate by pushing the button. Run towards the
village. Priboi will follow and eventually stop inside a building in the
village. You have already a lead and you will extend it since you run faster
than Priboi. While you're running, reload all your weapons and then select
proximity mines. Run down Main Street in the village and into the alley just
before the fallen two-storey building (see screenshot).
Place two proximity mines on the wall of the lower building, one at each end of the wall.
Run back on the street towards the first compound. Equip yourself with the M16.
You will meet Priboi and hear your proxymines do their work. Priboi will enter
the middle low building on your left (northern side of the road). Stop at the
eastern corner of this house and watch a truck arrive. Aim behind the truck and
get the M16's grenade ready (see screenshot). Fire as soon as four soldiers
emerge.
You don't have time to stay and watch the result of your grenade. Turn around
and run the whole way down the street, around the corner of the last fallen
building on the left. Another truck will come from the left. Six soldiers will
show up behind the truck. Shoot another grenade into the crowd and finish off
any survivors with "normal" fire. Make sure you leave six corps behind you. If
not, search the buildings close to where the truck stopped. Priboi will start
running as soon as you kill the four enemies from the first truck. He will run
to the two storey building and up one stair (when you later have killed four
more enemies he will continue up another stair and stand there and wait until
the helicopter arrives).
Things will again be quiet until you enter the two storey building in
the village. Don't enter yet! Instead, enter the fallen building east of the two
storey building and place the remaining proximity mines inside the building on
the southern wall.
Reload your weapons. You'll probably only use the AK47 and
the M16. Make sure you have 128 AK47 shots. If not, collect from dead enemies.
When you're all set, get ready for some action.
Go through the doorway of the two storey building (to trig the enemies) and then
immediately exit and hide behind the most south-east pillar. Enemies will come
down the main street. If you don't kill them they will continue through the
fallen building where you placed your mines. Some will then continue into the
building where Priboi is hiding. Some enemies will come running from the alley
where you placed your first mines. Kill them. Three more enemies will appear
from the Main Street. Kill them and then run to the two storey building. Go up
two stairs. Take the two LAWs from the top of a crate. Look out of window. Shoot
the tank before it spots you. If you miss, take your time. The tank will be
"alerted" for quite a while. Look at your map. Eventually the tank will drive
away from you. Then shoot again. If you would miss this time as well you have
another (last) chance. There is an enemy equipped with a LAW. He is hiding in
the fallen building at the other side of the Main Street (since he's not
standing under a roof you can see him on your map).
When the tank is disabled, wait behind a wall (so that any surviving sniper
won't spot you) until the helicopter has arrived. When Priboi runs up to the
roof, follow him. Voila! Cut-scene! One of the most (if not the most)
difficult missions is completed!
