More GoldenEye Homework
Protecting Natalya in the Janus Control Center is a hectic battle.
Enemies will run to designated spots, so it helps to know where they open fire.
(For a refresher on the entire Control level, see MISSION WALKTHRU: Janus Control Center)
Modified the ROM to station a guard at each one of these preset locations.
It's a lot easier to study the battlefield without the chaos.
 |
| OBJECTIVE A: Protect Natalya Guards stand around and swat flies while Natalya stares blankly at the screen. |
Each guard will randomly be programmed to attack James Bond, or to go after Natalya.
Because Natalya is basically a sitting duck, it's much worse if they choose her as their target.
 |
| Overlooking the Control Room To hell with motivational posters in the workplace. Bring in the armed guards! |
Guards early in the level are relatively predictable, so take aim and save your ammunition for this fight...
That way you can go absolutely hog wild and shoot anything that moves.
Once the alarm goes off, Jungle Commandos will spawn and run towards the Control Room.
The guards will generally stand in one of six basic spots and begin firing.
After running down the stairs, the game will send a guard to one of three spots on that side of the room.
 |
| All six guards lined up and ready to take Natalya out... Fortunately we don't have to deal with all of them at once. |
Once the alarm sounds during actual gameplay, guards can be spotted as they run in either direction as they come off the middle stairs...
 |
| Can even take some of these guards before they even make it downstairs... |
 |
| Guards are eliminated on the "spiral stairs". Getting preoccupied with one side of the room, another guard is bound to sneak up and attack Natalya. |
Of course, these are just the guards that you see coming...
 |
| Light this guy up with all you've got. He's wearing body armor, so aim high and don't stop shooting until he drops. |
With the sound of broken glass, snipers will appear on either side, immediately opening fire on Natalya.
If she's already taken damage, they might finish her off before Bond can take aim and drop the guy.
Keep Natalya alive long enough, and she'll complete the crucial computer objective.
 |
| OBJECTIVE B: COMPLETED |
The battle might be over - But Natalya can still get shot in those final seconds, so take no chances and keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for guards that didn't get the memo.
Once she makes it safely back to the lift, OBJECTIVE A: COMPLETED flashes on the screen.
 |
| Bond Gets Ghosted... |
If for some reason you feel like exploring and decide to follow her, she actually does return to the lift. The character will fade away and disappear, just like Ourumov in the Facility or Valentin in the Streets.
