This is the only level were you get to use Diavolo's Platinum NanoTank - and it is a rather short level as well. All
Platinum NanoTanks are obviously resistant to the Reversed Engineered Nano Technology used to eat away any other
metal, so do not bother using the Nano Shells against the enemy tanks. There are numerous groups of tanks scattered
throughout the level, but the methods mentioned below will make you avoid a number of them. It is hard to actually
dodge the gunfire from the enemy tanks as the Shells travel at a fast speed. Even if you try to speed away from some
of the enemy tanks, they will tend to follow you around the outside area, so it is best suggested that you destroy
the enemy Tanks as fast as possible as you pass them. The firing rate of your Gun Turret is faster than the enemy
tanks, so use that to your advantage. Remember that the Turrets on the Platinum NanoTanks cannot rotate a full 360
degrees, making them vulnerable to attacks from behind unless the tank physically turns around. Try to get to the
Kremlin as fast as possible to deactivate the Bomb, taking the quickest route as shown.
When the level has started, follow the road you are traveling on until you reach the dead end with the brick wall.
Shoot two shots from the turret to completely blast the wall open and then turn right at the T Junction ahead. Once
you have turned, select the Nano Shells as the Tank's weapon. As you are about to go underneath the arch , the
Nano Shells will automatically target the metal structure directly above the hostile Platinum Tank ahead.
Shoot one
Nano Shell to obliterate the metal structure, causing it to collapse on the tank and earning you the first Bond Moment.
Select the Plasma Gun as the weapon and then turn into the next road to the left. Move straight here until
you reach the fuel truck blocking the road.
The Plasma Gun will target the fuel truck as you get close to it, so shoot
it to create a back entrance into the Shopping Mall area, earning you the second Bond Moment. Once you have entered
the building, move straight through it to the front and smash through the glass.
Now that you are at the large outside
area of the level, turn left once you have exited the building and destroy the next Platinum Tank ahead that moves at full
speed from the left.
Continue moving ahead, down the slope until you reach the end of the path, in which you turn right
to confront another two Platinum Tanks.
Destroy both tanks and drive through the big metal doors that lead inside
the Underground Tunnel Section of the Kremlin.
If you are usually quick enough, the Bomb is activated sometime between
when you have left the Shopping Mall area until you enter inside the Underground Tunnels - but it really depends how
fast you were at the start of the level. You have 2 minutes before the Bomb detonates, so that is plenty of time if you
use it correctly.
You should have plenty of time before the Bomb detonates by the time you enter inside the tunnel, so there is time to
do a little shortcut. Once you have entered the tunnel, continue following it until you reach the T Junction where you
have to turn left to get to the far section the Bomb is being held in. Instead of turning left however, come back here a
bit later and continue driving straight until you reach the open Underground area where three metal pillars are in place.
Change the weapon back to the Nano Shells and target each of the three pillars to destroy them.
Once you have done
this, head back the way you came from and turn into the tunnel that leads towards the back area where the Bomb is located.
By destroying the pillars at this stage of the level, you will affect the next objective by not having to go there to do
it at the proper time, where you will have to actually battle against two more tanks inside the room with the pillars - so
therefore this is a useful method to conserve the Tank's armour.
Go into the area the Bomb is being held in and destroy the Platinum Tank to the far left of the room. Once it is
destroyed, use the Nano Shells to disable the Bomb being held by the metal supports.
Now that the Bomb is disabled, Diavolo's
Platinum NanoTanks are trying to take down the Kremlin Wall in preparation to dominate the area. You have 2 minutes once
again to get to the surface to stop the tanks somehow. Once you are done with the Bomb, make your way out of the room by
exiting through the tunnel you entered the room in previously and turn right at the T Junction further ahead, making your
way out of the Underground Tunnel.
Exit the tunnel and rotate the Turret so it is facing to the direct right, where
another Platinum Tank awaits. Destroy it and turn right after exiting the tunnel. Turn right again at the corner and go up
the slight slope leading towards the open outside area. Destroy one more Platinum Tank waiting at the top of the slope and
then change the weapon to the Nano Shells once again.
When you are near the top of the slope, a cutscene shows a Cargo
Helicopter flying above the large area ahead. Remember the Pillars you destroyed earlier - destroying these will weaken
the whole section the Tanks are on top of, so target the Helicopter and fire a Nano Shell to make the Helicopter lose control
and crash into the weak area, causing everything to pretty much collapse.
Once this has been done, the mission is complete.
