Syphon Filter

Stage 7 : New York City - Expo Center Dinorama

Incoming from Lian :
Aramov is interrogating Phagan near the Dinosaur exhibit. I'm losing the audio feeds, but she keeps saying something about Syphon Filter.
Both Aramov and Phagan have information we need... You must stop Aramov from killing Phagan, but without killing her.

NOTE : This is the first mission that requires your skill of head-shot. All of the guards are wearing a flak jacket, so head-shot is a must in this level. This level will prove whether your good or not ^_^

Go towards the door to the south. By the time you're reading this, 3 enemies should have come and kick the door to eliminate you, plus one enemy from the other side of the gate on the west. They are equipped with HK5 and they all wear flak jackets. Run past them to the corner, then stop by the wall. Don't worry, they won't after you. Use the Peek-a-Boo head aim tactic : position yourself near the corner, then face the wall. Equip your silenced 9mm. Aim using L1 button (you should now aiming for the wall), then press L2 to move a little bit to the left while still holding the aim button. Aim the crosshair to the head. You will have a few seconds to do that. If the enemy sees you, release the L2 button (but still holding the L1 button), and press L2 again to move a little bit to the left after the enemy stop shooting. Shoot them in the head. This should take care of 2 enemies. Walk towards the door to repeat the Peek-a-Boo tactic to finish the two remaining enemies. But watch out, because the enemy is on the left side (behind the gate) and on the right side of the door, so if you aim at one, the other will try to shoot you from behind. After looting their equipment (and their flak jacket off course ^_^), go back into the room to check the lockers for a K3G4 (3th locker from the left) and a flak jacket (3th locker from the right).

Then go to the path with a door leading to a circular room with glass dome beneath it. After reaching there, Gabriel will call Lian Xing and she will tell you that the enemies are in the lower level and there's no way down. You've got to improvise your way down. Walk to the right side or the left side of the bridge. See iron bars on the ceiling ?? Use Triangle button to hang on it. Move to the center of the glass dome, then press down. You will see an awesome animation (wow...so cool ^_^).

Down here, the enemies will swarm you like a meal. 5 terrorists are here. Use the Peek-a-Boo tactic to hunt them one by one. But beware, the enemies on the roof are equipped with sniper rifle, and it means they have greater chance of hitting you. One of the enemy is equipped with G-18, like the one you get from Benton - so this is going to be a tough fight. Your objective is to kill the enemy with flak jacket and combat shotgun on the ledge, and then grab the keycard (#1st CHECKPOINT)

Open the door to the south (the red door) leading to a place with T-REX statue. You will see a switch at the south junction, and there are 2 guards guarding it - all equipped with flak jacket and HK5. Hide (crouch) on the left side of T-REX base and shoot them in the head. When you reach the switch, a guard (with HK5) will appear from behind the right gate, and a guard (with combat shotgun and flak jacket) will appear from the room the lobby that you just left. Activate the switch will open the right gate - run through it quickly and kill an enemy (equipped with HK5 and flak jacket) on the end of the path. Shoot another enemy (equipped with G-18 and flak jacket) on the other side of the glass (kinda like an aquarium). Shoot the 2 guards from the other side of the gate that you just enter. Equip yourself with sniper rifle and climb the ledges on the aquarium and climb down on the other side - shoot the fish if they're getting in the way.

Carefully head south to the path after you hear a conversation between Aramov and Phagan. Remember that the objective is to keep them alive, so you cannot shot Phagan or Aramov. You will have limited time, because Aramov is about to kill Phagan and she will do that if you don't act fast. I can find 2 ways to stop Aramov :

Aim (by using L1 button) with your sniper rifle and move the crosshair to Aramov's machine gun (HK5) that she aimed on him - you have to zoom in on the binoculars. Shoot the HK5.
Equip your taser and aim the taser on her. Don't worry about the glass, the taser has the ability to break it. ( #2nd CHECKPOINT ).

OK, now the mission is to reach Aramov. You have to go upstairs, but you will find no stairs in this place. Once again, you have to improvise (AGAIN ??). Go to the dinosaur's tail and climb on it by using triangle button and Up. Walk towards the shoulder. When you reach the neck section, three enemies will come and shoot you - all equipped with flak jacket (Oh boy, almost all of the enemies are wearing flak jacket). You may have to go back down to finish them. When you're done, climb again to the dinosaur's shoulder. Jump and hang on the iron bar on the ceiling, and move to the right towards Aramov's place. Let go of your hands and reach her to get HK5 bullets and finish the mission.
