Red Faction II - A River Runs to it
21A RIVER RUNS TO IT
With Quill out of the way, Tangier will come by and pick you up. The two of you will go together to the Nanobase in the gigantic statue of Sopot to confront the enemy one final time. To get there, though, you must traverse the aquatic depths in a submarine. PART 1: ON THE DOCKS
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
Survive until Tangier arrives.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE UNTIL TANGIER ARRIVES
After your showdown with Quill in the last mission, you'll probably be starting this one out with low health. There's some health scattered about the area you're in, so pick it up quickly.
For this part of the mission, I like to take cover by the pipe on the far left. It provides good protection, and when you duck, no one can hit you (good for letting your health meter refill).
Anyway, you can't just sit and hide to whole time; you need to kill the snipers on the building across the river. Be on the lookout for enemies on the roof, in windows, on the docks in front, and on the building to the left. It's hard to see them, so use your zooming to check suspicious areas. Look for movement and you might catch them as they first arrive. If you watch where the bullets are coming from (they appear as flashes traveling from a point), you can track down enemy locations.
If you use the pipe as cover, occasionally come out from behind it to check areas you can't normally see.
Eventually, Tangier will arrive. Forget about any snipers and high tail it over to the submarine. Jump onto the dock and you'll automatically get in.
PART 2: INSIDE THE SUBMARINE
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
Survive sub patrols.
Find Nanobase.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE SUB PATROLS
For the rest of the mission, you'll be inside a submarine. You'd better get used how to handle it properly, so try out the strafing and ascending/descending features at the start for a little bit.
This part is fairly straightforward: follow the path until you reach the end. What spices things up are the sub patrols that are out to get you. Knowing how to fight against subs is a must.
Strafing is key. If you continually strafe, the other sub's torpedoes will almost always miss. Watch out for rocks or debris getting in your way while strafing, so combine turning and strafing, and sometimes ascending/descending to move about effectively.
When attacking, you must be at a precise distance. Too close and you'll get hit by enemy torpedoes much easier. Too far and it'll be too hard to hit the enemy subs. Try to find the appropriate distance. If you're having trouble hitting him, then get closer. If he's hitting you too easily, get further away. Shoot torpedoes from the left or right chute depending on the direction the sub is moving in (shoot with the direction - if he's moving right, shoot from the right chute).
After a few sub encounters and a little wandering, this part of the mission will be over.
PART 3: DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
Survive sub patrols.
Find Nanobase.
BONUS OBJECTIVES:
Geo-mod past the homing mines.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE SUB PATROLS
Like Part 2, Part 3 mainly deals with destroying the other submarines that you encounter (strategies are given in Part 2). However, a little extra something is thrown into the mix with homing mines. These things appear in large numbers. When there is a green light, everything's fine. Get too close, and it'll make a sound and change to a red light. They'll start coming at you, and if they reach you, KABOOM! You can destroy them with a well-aimed torpedo while they're any color. Clear them out from a distance.
As you make your way through the level, Tangier will notify you of charges falling from above, and recommends seeking shelter in a sunken ship. Stay low to the ground in this area, and drop into the hole on the top of the ship to have some safety.
Near the end of the level, you'll encounter a large minefield of homing mines. Instead of shooting them all out, blast apart the rock in the middle that blocks a tunnel. Go through the tunnel and destroy the rock on the far end. This will allow you to get past the minefield, and you'll complete the Bonus Objective: Geo-mod past the homing mines. Be careful when entering or exiting the tunnel, though, as there are mines nearby.PART 4: THE RIGHT WAY IN
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
Find the Nanobase.
Gain entry to the Nanobase.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: FIND THE NANOBASE
After this part of the mission begins, head straight and you'll soon arrive at the Nanobase.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: GAIN ENTRY TO THE NANOBASE
Getting inside the Nanobase won't be easy. Tangier needs some time to open up the sub bay doors, so be patient. While she's doing this, a bunch of sub patrols, usually traveling in pairs, will attack. Use the same strategies as mentioned in Part 2 of this mission to destroy them. Watch out for the extra debris that's around here, though.
