You can actually blow up the crate, get a mission failled, then use a granade or dragon to blow up the hole to get it as a completed objective

Ah man. I couldn't find that key card on the floor and failed Objective 5 right as I got to the exit. 0.1 seconds faster and I would've won. Finally, 2 hours later I won with no damage, at 11:59PM, just in time for New Years 2016.

[@jomardepedro]

Starts with falcon 2 silencer Finishes with falcon 2 with scope

[@Determination212]

I always thought the starting with a silencer but then ending with a scope was goofy. With the little time she'd have to take the silencer off to add the scope, you are shooting up enemies as there wouldn't be much time to do that. And in all honestly, the scope was really needed in area 51, not the escape mission. You honestly don't use the pistol for too long in escape when you can turn your dragon gun into a grenade launcher. Meanwhile, in the perfect dark game it was always a pet peeve for me when the gun couldn't be added together for a silencer and scope. At least in the beginning of this mission (rescue), a silencer and scope would have helped especially for far away guards in the hangers. Another bummer is this is the only mission (rescue) besides the previous mission (area 51) where you can get hand grenades. At least in 007 goldeneye, most missions you could get a hand grenade if you were lucky. It's nice having one of those grenades when you have a lot of guards running towards you. Another goofy thing is Jonathan suggests to Dark to sneak around without blasting everything. But then he gives her an explosive crate. Also as the guards are shooting you, they can't hear their buddies dying? There is no alarm system to alert other guards? I thought area 51 is top security when it's run by the government? I know the game was good for its time, but with multiple entry points, maybe there could have been a couple different paths you could take to get to the 'rescue or escape' mission.

How do you get to the secret Phoenix in this level?

[@cherrymilkwad]

Liam Peterson you need to knock out the guard with the key card in the level prior. But you need to lure him away from the bike because when you destroy it, it will kill him if he's close to it

[@LJP03]

Teh Fluffy I figured it out, thanks. I actually got to it when I was like 7 because I did a nothing but pistol whip challenge, I just never knew the exact way to do it 😂

[@VanzNavarro]

I find my self another way, the guard on the bottom corridor just after the first lift, if you disarm him (some times) he opens the door, and you get on the path (the previous level, when you take the lift before meeting with Jonathan, but this elevator now goes up, and guides you to the Phoenix, the room where you can see the main door, on the helipad where you suppose to take out the guard...

[@AlmightyRager95]

I'm aware this is an old comment. You don't have to use the crate to blow open the wall; when you pick up a Dragon assault rifle, you can use its secondary mode to toss it near the spot in the wall you need to destroy. From there, shoot the Dragon (that should be on the ground), and it'll explode and take the wall with it.

Perfect Dark's engine is more capable of doing complex things, but the quality of the code is questionable, and performs way worse than GoldenEye sadly. So I wouldn't know what to say. For emulators probably Perfect Dark's since you won't have performance issues.

+swordsdragon I can score 400+, so I win.

[@swordsdragon]

Tornelius Do you know the method? As long as the spawnpoints aren't spotted, you can perform such a maneuver again, again and again (this requires the patience of a crocodile); at first, you must steal the Dragon rifle from a guard, then run to the beginning of the map (because of the corridor), luring the guards. Set the weapon to PROXIMITY SELFDESTRUCT and throw it safely, thus exploding the crap out of the enemies. The explosion will cause other enemies to visit you, and they'll end disposed of likewise, giving you a long string of one-hit kills due to their Dragon assault rifles (converted into proximity-flavored mines).
