WALKTHROUGH - Mission 06 - Green Eye Returns

Mission Objective:

"Head for the abandoned dome facility. Make your way through the old city ruins inside. A giant thermal energy signature that could be the Green Eye is coming from within the structure."

THROUGH THE CITY RUINS...

This level will be your first encounter with the heavily armored Nevec soldiers with plasma guns. Keep in mind that they will not fall fast to a machine gun, though that weapon is sometimes the only weapon available. Some of them may leave behind a plasma gun once defeated, so make sure to grab it if they do since that will kill them in two hits.

 

Run over to the DATA POST (1/3) on the right and activate it (actually deactivate it then activate it). Grab the PLASMA GRENADES on the left as you make your way around the corner. Some Nevec soldiers with plasma guns will start to fire at you further down the street. Shoot them from where you are or run toward them and use grenades. Try to take cover behind any obstacle to shield yourself from the plasma gun blasts. Grab the MACHINE GUN while moving down the street and take cover behind the concrete debris on the left next to the ROCKET LAUNCHER since there is an enemy GTF-13M VS suit on the balcony above. Throw a plasma grenade at him then use the rocket launcher to destroy the VS suit then continue ahead. Get up on the balcony then shoot the enemy with the rocket launcher in the back and activate the DATA POST (2/3).

 

Hop off the side and continue down the street. There is a turret on top of the first building up ahead and a few more down the street to the left. Quite a few of these Nevec soldiers will have rocket launchers or be in a turret with a rocket launcher so be very careful while moving along. Get up on the buildings and blast the turret gunner or shoot the turret with the rocket launcher to stop them. You can control the turret, but the view of the area is very limited. There is a ROCKET LAUNCHER and a VS ROCKET LAUNCHER among the explosive barrels on the left building with the second turret. Be sure to stock up on rocket launcher ammo. Grapple up to the ledge above the second turret and activate the DATA POST (3/3) up there. There is a pickup of PLASMA GRENADES and a PLASMA GUN on the left side of the street as you move further to the end. An enemy Vital Suit will jump down from above. Hurl plasma grenades at him to stun him and shoot him with either rockets or the plasma gun. Walk through the doorway against the right wall and blast the Nevec soldiers inside. Grapple to the floor above and drop off the side of the building after moving down the corridor. Keep walking toward the VS in the snow and a cutscene will begin.

AN ADVANCED VS...

You can't exit the VS for this portion of the level. This suit is the PTX-140 VS suit much like the one Wayne controlled in the prologue mission. It has a saw (X), hover (jump then A), and a dash (Direction + Y; Y again to cancel dash). Don't spend too much time in this area since your thermal energy is draining at an accelerated rate and you will die immediately if it all drains.

Dash straight ahead and walk under the door as it opens for you. Grab the GATLING GUN and equip the VS ROCKET LAUNCHER to one of your sides in place of one of the gatling guns. Use the dropped gatling gun to fill your lone gatling gun to the max. Continue down the corridor ahead and go through the doorway as the door opens. Another cutscene will play.

DEALING WITH THE PAST...

Boss - Green Eye

 

At the start of the battle, jump and hover over to the platform on the right side. This will position you next to a VS rocket launcher and some tanks that you can shoot for extra T-ENG. At the moment Green Eye has four green heat sources on each of his sides for a total of eight. Hover or dash around the area and target each one then shoot at the heat sources with either a gatling gun or fire a rocket at them. Keep a gatling gun and a rocket launcher on the VS since they both have their advantages. The rocket launcher has the best distance and will destroy a heat source if it hits one directly and the gatling gun will allow you to fire while the rocket launcher reloads. Make sure to constantly reload the rocket launcher and pick up more ammo for it. Pick up the T-ENG that he will drop after each heat source is destroyed since all of it will come in use for the constant dashing and hovering you'll be performing.

Green Eye will try to ram your VS from his front side and back side. He will fire out several ice pieces toward you and will sometimes cover the ground around him in ice. He is very dangerous while at close range so make sure to keep your distance while blasting his heat sources. His ice attacks can be dodged by moving to the sides while hovering or dashing - same with his rams. Be sure to make use of both hovering and dashing since they will both come in handy. If he ever catches your VS with his showering ice pieces try to dash to one of the sides and you might just get away! There is no safe place during this battle since he has an attack that will knock you right out of every area that your VS can possibly go. He will crawl along the side of the wall if you try to stand on one of the platforms when he makes a turn. Get behind a wall if his ice attacks ever get out of control - you will simply have to do this at some points. Keep in mind that the flying ice pieces can be shot with the gatling gun. He will also breathe out ice much like he did in the prologue fight only this time he will shoot ice pieces in the air along with the ground ice. This ice will travel along the floor and form many ice stalagmites as well as fly toward you in the air. Hiding behind walls will save you from the flying ice pieces but sometimes not the ground ice pieces.

Once his first eight heat sources are gone, he will open up the shell surrounding his head and four more heat sources on his top front portion will be revealed. Grab the grenade launcher on the center platform, which is forward just a bit and to the right of the area where you first start. With the grenade launcher, stand far away and wait for him to turn a corner then shoot the four heat sources on his head with a grenade and the blast will split and destroy multiple heat sources. This may take about two shots. He will become very aggressive at this point with his ice attacks so seek cover behind a wall if he starts to shower your VS. When all four of the second batch of heat sources has been destroyed, a much bigger heat source will appear where the four smaller heat sources were. Blast the big heat source on his head a few times to put an end to Green Eye. He becomes extremely aggressive at this point so I would recommend grabbing the grenade launcher and a rocket launcher to guarantee that you kill him with one hit from each side weapon. Wait for him to turn a corner then fly directly toward him and fire. Two shots!
