Stage 6 : New York City - Expo Center Reception

Incoming from Markinson :
I've approved your request for access to the FBI files on Jonathan Phagan. I think your suspicious maybe correct. The PHARCOM reception maybe a cover for a meeting between Phagan and Rhoemer. Follow Phagan closely.
Obviously, you must not be seen or captured. You are authorized to eliminate any of Phagan's security, but use silenced weapons only. Once you're observed the meeting, use whatever means necessary to capture Phagan alive. Officially, the agency knows nothing about this.

NOTE : This is your first stealth mission. You cannot be detected by the enemy, not even once. If the enemy sees you, the mission is over. You are only equipped with silenced weapon : Sniper rifle, silenced 9mm, and taser. Use sneak almost all the time, except when you know the enemies' location.

You see Phagan is walking to the door. Instead of following him to the same path, climb the ledge on the left. Climb again on the next ledge so you're one ledge below the pillar. You should see 2 green dots in your radar, because there're two guards on the door. If you only see one green dot, position yourself behind the pillar ledge near the path so you can see both guards. Move back a little bit, and crouch. Wait for the guard to come down the path. Shoot him with tazer when you see him. After one guard is down, his friend will come to him. Shoot him before he detects you. Then take the HK-5 that they left. Go into the door. There's a junction ahead. Hide behind the left wall to see an enemy walking to the north. Follow him and use your taser on him. Proceed north to a room with a formation of rocks in there. There's a guard guarding the door to the north. Sneak behind and taser him. Enter the door that leads to the statue room (Pharaoh room ??). Sneak to the wall to the left, and you will see a guard is walking to the north in the Pharaoh room. Taser him from a distance. Grab the HK-5 he left behind, and hide behind the statue that is not attached to the wall. If you sneak near the north path, a guard will come to your way. Move away by circling the statue. The guard is heading outside. I don't know if there's something wrong about this guard, because everytime I taser him, the mission failed. So instead of taser-ing him, equip your silenced 9mm, aim (easy...you got a lot of time) to the head, and shoot him - or just let him go.

After that, there is still one guard left - he's the most cautious guard. Instead of heading to the next room, try run to the west wall and back hiding to lure him out. This guy will make a quick walking around, making it hard for you to kill. This guy is weird, too. I always fail the mission when I taser him or when I shoot him in the body (with R1+Square button). So I think the only way is to use the aim-to-the-head shot (L1 button). It is hard to aim on him because he turns his back very quickly. So the tip is : aim while standing, not crouching. Because you and your enemy are in the same level (elevation), you will only aim to the left or right and not worrying to aim up or down. If you crouch, you will have to aim a little bit higher. This takes a lot of practice and patience. (I tried over 20 times in this place, and it makes me frustrated). After you defeat him, go into the room and ..... (#1st CHECKPOINT)

After the animation, you will find out who's the traitor among you. You will face Benton here. He wears a flak jacket, and a machine gun (G-18). Move to the west wall. Benton maybe shoot you, but he will miss if you're fast. From here, equip your sniper rifle, aim carefully (don't worry, Benton will not be able to shoot you) and bang...he's down. You won't lose any health if you do it right, furthermore you will get a flak jacket ^_^. You will call Lian after Benton's down. Search his body to get G-18 and his card key (#2nd CHECKPOINT).

Lian Xing will ask you to find the another security cardkeys. Go to the gate to the west and press the gate control panel to open the gate. An enemy will appear and surprise you (It surprised me ^_^). Get HK-5 bullets from him. Go to the door behind him (reads Museum Staffs Only). Open it (or kicking it exactly) by using Triangle button and you will get a 'welcome party' from the 3 enemies (all equipped with HK-5). Run around to kill the enemy on the floor, and hide behind (to the south of) the blue face statue. Use the Peek-a-Boo tactic here. Position yourself so you are line up with the line between the box and the statue. The enemies cannot shoot you. Equip your sniper rifle, aim by using L1, and while still holding L1, press R2 to move right a little bit. Move the crosshair (dot) on the enemy. If the enemy shoots you, release the R2 button so you are covered by the statue. Repeat until you aim him on the head and shoot him. Repeat the procedure with the other guy. This way, you will not lose your health. Climb to the box near the face statue, and climb again to the ledge. Proceed to the dead body that you just shot, get everything from him, and climb the box. Climb to the higher ledge over the box to the north. Shot the lock on the door and proceed to the only way. Get the HK5 bullets in the box near the fan, and shoot the lock on the door. Go outside and use your taser to zap the enemy. Go down and kill the enemy with the flak jacket - he holds the Card Security key (#3rd CHECKPOINT)

You should notice that there're 2 gate : one is on the south and one is on the west. Go back up again to the door near the fan. Near the door you will find a gate switch. Activate, then go down quickly and run to the west gate - it will not stay open for long. After the tunnel, you will come to the west Ancient World Exhibits on the map. There're 2 enemies here - one of them is wearing flak jacket, and one of them is upstairs - all equipped with HK-5. Get a cardkey from him. (#4th CHECKPOINT)

After that, activate the gate opener switch to the south, leading to the Aerospace exhibits. 3 enemies will appear and shoot you. After you defeat them, go to the end of the path to activate the elevator. More enemies (3) will show up again. Go down with the elevator, and go through the blue door to the east. Kill 2 enemies here. Go to the east door with 'Museum Staff Only' label on it. You will come to the 'Planet Mars' room. There will be 4 enemies waiting for you on the ledge in front of you. Kill them and climb the ledge. Go to the south of the ledge to find a switch. You cannot activate the switch because you don't have the key. (This is the part that is annoying - I'm stuck at this place and finally knew how to do it after trying more than half an hour).

Go back to the place where there's a rocket. Use the elevator to the second level. You have to go to the third level, but how ?? See the broken elevator call switch on the third floor - the one that keeps sparking ?? Shoot it while you're in the elevator by using the aim button (L1 button). The elevator will go to the third floor. Face 2 guys with a HK5 guns. You should recognize this place, because you can see the pyramids to your left. That means you're in front of the pyramids. Go to the end of of the room to get a keycard. Apparently, you have killed this man while you're on the pyramid.(#5th CHECKPOINT)

Go back to the elevator, take the elevator to the lowest level and go to the mars room. On your way back to the Mars room, some enemies will come to shoot you. Use the keycard to open the door. Proceed, and two men will try to kill you from the space shuttle room below. They are equipped with HK5 and G-18. Go to the end of the room to get the K3G4 in the box near the gate. Then go down to the space shuttle place. 3 persons will try to kill you from the bridge above. They all wear flak jackets and HK5. Climb the space shuttle, then press Triangle on top of the space shuttle to hang on the bridge. Climb up the bridge and head south. You will meet a terrorist with HK5 and flak jackets. Open the blue door, and see an animation.
