City of the Dead (1st)
Items: 16
Kills: 18
This is only your first pass through the City of the Dead, so here are a few hints to move you through
Under Fire
As soon as you show up, you will find yourself under attack from two snipers on the left. Blast them quickly, and then explore the area. You'll encounter your first automatic machine gun and two more snipers. After that, you can get on your motorcycle and run down two more. After that, the street is pretty much clear. Don't drive the motorcyle down to the end of the street past the arch, because you'll run into two more automatic machine guns.
Stunt Rider
Okay, at this point, you can do a little stunt riding. You have to jump the bike onto the platform with the wooden barricades. Use the sandy hill to jump onto the ledge. Crash through the barricades and drop through the rickety floor.
Flash Frozen
Explore the tunnels and find the chamber with the bats. From there, find the tunnel that leads to a chamber with a blue pendulum in a cage. Beyond that chamber is a room with a pool, which prevents access to a ledge with a lever. There is a crevice that leads up to a ledge that lets you get a more-or-less clear shot at the blue pendulum. Here are the points of interest. If you shoot the pendulum, two ice elementals will be released and attack you. If you shoot the jar, then a swarm of locusts will be released. The ice elementals will be useful to you, whereas the locusts are just trouble. Hopefully that's enough info to get you going.
Roof Romp
Follow the newly opened passageway to make your way to the rooftops. Hopefully, you'll find your way to the switch near where you first started this level. Pulling the lever will open a path to another part of the city, but after you've opened the gate but before you explore that area, you need to go back and retrieve the motorcycle and take it down.
Dead Weight
Before taking the motorcycle to the newly opened city gates, there's a task you must first accomplish. Drive the motorcycle through the large archway at the northeast corner of the city and crash into the gate. You will find yourself under fire of two machine guns. It's possible, if the guns are turned the right way, to take them out now. The point, however, is to enter the building opposite the closed gate and move some dead weight. You still can't enter the crawlspace above the grate. For that, you need to go around to the other side of that building and enter the tunnel on that side. From there, you should be able to make your way up through the grate. The final goal is to open a door on the rooftops.
New Beginning
Now, back onto the motorcycle and back to the beginning of the level and through the gate you opened earlier. Drop the motorcycle into the pit beyond the gate, and your task will be to wind your way up the ramps and jump the motorcycle into a tiny opening. You need to throw a lever to raise a stone block elsewhere around the ramps.
Chopper Popper
Make your way to the block you just raised. Climb your way back to the rooftops, by crossing over to the adjacent building and entering the doorway you opened earlier. Eventually you'll be opposite a building with a helicopter. If you've already taken out the two machine guns that protects the chopper, then it will be smooth sailing. If not, you'll need to be careful and destroy the helicopter. Cross over to the building that the helicopter was refueling on, and trhow the lever to open the iron gate.
This Way Out
There you have it, you're ready to move on. Get back to your motorcycle and head through the gate you've just opened. There's still a little left to explore in the City of the Dead, but you're not properly equipped to do so yet.
