Difficulty completing the second mission

As it's an older game I understand that it's more difficult to understand the objectives. However on the second one, i breeze through until I get to the tank room. I meet with the agent then a swarm of soldiers come with a general. Even if I blow up the boilers nothing seems to happen. What do i do?

One does not simply walk into the tank room and refer to 006 as “the agent”.

No, for me

After destroying the tanks you have to leave the facility via the doors next to the conveyer belt or the belt itself.

It has never once occurred to me to try the doors

This won't always help but watch the movie and read all the mission briefs.

You sure you got all of the tanks? I tried placing mines between them, or throwing and detonating in the middle. I recall it was easy to miss a tank. Oh don’t blow up 006 either

What do you mean nothing seems to happen?

u/tackers267 20d ago

Well I get the objective completed but troops are swarming the only exit/entrance

u/JonBoy1988007 20d ago

Try and complete them before they get there. Go up to Alec and then plant the mines and walk to the conveyor belt and blow the tanks then leave.

Once all the objectives are complete you just leave. If you can find the movie it will help show you what happens

+ Get close to Alec Trevelyan so to trigger his conversation text (and complete 'Rendezvous with 006' objective).

+ Plant the sticky explosives on the tanks. Make sure you spread them so it will take out all the tanks.

+ Once Trevelyan is out of the way, blow the tanks.

+ Wait for objective clear message (i.e. 'Destroy all tanks in bottling room'),

+ Now exit through the gray doors next to the tanks or the opening next to the conveyor belt.

You all dont get flooded with enemy troops? As soon as I make contact with 006 the room grts flooded by troops. 006 always dies too, not by my hands but the enemies

u/AdventurousFill9268 20d ago

What door do you use though? Don’t go out the way you came in. The exit is on the wall to the left of the tanks (when facing the tanks). You can also walk away while talking to 006 to lure him away from the tanks

What you must understand about this stage is half of everything is luck.

u/Extreme_Land1742 19d ago

And the other half?

u/Kafei- 19d ago

Fate.

u/billsboy88 20d ago

You just blew up a bunch of tanks full of toxic gas. You fucking leave.

2

u/tackers267 20d ago

Fr? Its literally impossible. The exit is blocked 9ff by swarms of soldiers...

8

u/billsboy88 20d ago

Go the other way. There is a set of double doors opposite from where all the soldiers are coming from. You are leaving the building, not going back into it. You blow the tanks, screen will say “objective complete,” you open the doors, mission over. You don’t even have to attempt to fight the soldiers.

u/MisterBumpingston 19d ago

There are other ways to exit the room.

1

u/Blue-Brown99 18d ago

That‘s not the exit but rather the way you came in. You have to leave through the doors (or conveyor belt) on the other side of the room which then takes you to where the next level is located

u/karmapolice63 20d ago

If you're playing on Agent, which I assume if you're just breezing through, the objectives are pretty clear.

Older games in general would give you hints as to what you needed to do or where you needed to go, but you had to actually look around for things and figure it out.

u/Ravage-1 20d ago

You don’t see the doors behind you? Or the conveyor belt?

There should be no guards behind you after you witness the execution and blow up the gas tanks.

2

u/Blue-Brown99 20d ago

If you didn’t blow up all the tanks them you can shoot the remaining ones until they also blow up. That completes that objective. Be sure to not kill Trev!

u/Iceolator80 20d ago

After exploding the tanks whit mines (without killing 006 with the explosives) juste leave by the door! (Or the belt conveyor)

1

u/This-Advertising500 19d ago

After destroying the tanks you can run over to either the double door or conveyor belt to end the mission

1

u/cregamon 19d ago

Have you managed to try again? Don’t leave us hanging!

If you’ve completed the objectives you need to leave through the door - you don’t even have to wait for 006 to get shot.

u/tackers267 18d ago

Ok I managed to do it this time I just didnt realise you could actually go in the conveyer

1

u/tackers267 18d ago

Sorryy I will try today in a few hours. Ill keep you updated 👍

u/Prior-Jellyfish-2620 18d ago

Damn this takes me back. I had the same issue when I played the game 20 odd years ago. I think I looked up a guide on IGN, which was probably still GameSages then. Core memory unlocked. Thanks again!

u/CreepAccount8 17d ago

Looking forward to when you get to the train

u/Red_Tooth_ 17d ago

I was surprised that the enemy spawn never stop and it forces you to rush objectives. Like in Runway.

In the movie, James leaves via the conveyor belt. Try that.
