Problem in first level

[Owen H Brown]

Hey Folks,

I am playing through the very first level on hard difficulty and I am having problem in the "Transformer Station" area.

I have knocked every guard unconcious and placed them all in a dark room, I have alerted nobody to my presence thus far. It appears that I must enter the main Geothermal Plant through a broken fan, however when I crawl through this hole I seem to alert guards and my NSA ranking drops.

How do I enter the plant without alerting the guards to my presence?

If I remember correctly, this is the one where you have all the spot lights moving back and forth, the fence you have to climb over, etc..

Now what I'm about to say is going strictly from memory, so no good guarantee on how much this will help you but... here goes. :p

First, take out the two guys sleeping in the bunk room (beginning of map) where I believe you disable the electric fence. Climb over electric fence, (zip line to top of roof). Will be enemy walking below you. Knock out the light, take him out. Go down steps, make LEFT first... crawl through double ended open container crate and take out both of those guys. Go in the building (something in there).Once you do that, go back the way you came, only do not go up the steps, go through the big gate, but be careful to not alarm any guards. Sometimes you can lure a guard in there, take him out and then that makes one less you have to worry about. Knock out the lights and work your way towards the stairs, avoiding guards of course. Go all the way up stairs, climb onto something and climb through fan (open crawl space) where you watch your friend get executed. Don't climb through the whole immediately... rather wait until a guard goes away, then slowly work your way towards making it down to the first platform.

This just helps to get you in the plant... once your in, go all the way down bottom, hit some button, ALWAYS BE CAUTIOUS OF EVERYTHING AROUND YOU as there are guards, not many, but they are still there.Go back up, (I believe there is an elevator you can climb onto and activate). Disarm or deactivate whatever the control panel is towards the middle of the plant(missile) or something I believe it was. Climb the ladder on the side, get to the helicopter at the top and escape!

Anyhow, I hope this helps. Like I said, it's a VERY rough memory of what I did to sneak through all the guards. The most important thing is to just TAKE YOUR TIME and be cautious always! You should be able to find a You Tube video of someone doing a walk through of the level probably. :)

I found out the problem, it was my buddy getting busted, not me. I assumed it was me being seen but it was the apprentice.

I am not sure why my NSA rating dropped.
