Score for Gold : 325000
Bond Moments   : 4
Objectives     : Defeat Diavolo
                 Use the network tap on a turret
                 Disable 4 missile silo exhaust vents
                 Clear obstruction from override module
                 Escape through main entrance
                 Destroy Diavolo's hoverjet

When the mission begins, two guards will be closing in on you.  Kill them both
and immediately turn around.  There are several guards you need to kill.  Run
toward the stairs to your left, and kill the guard standing there.  There is
armor inside the door here if you need it.  Continue into the control area, and
you'll see the turrets come online.  When the turrets have been lowered, turn
around and head back to the main door, but go past it and down the next set of
stairs.  When you hear the whooosh of a rocket, dive.

Continue to the large computer consoles in the middle of the room, killing
everybody.  When you get to them, crouch and hide behind the second console.
Bring up your Network Tap and aim at the REAR of one of the turrets (shooting
the front won't work; the game won't even lock on to the front).  When you have
command of the turret, aim it at the main door where you began the mission.
Three guards will come, pretty much asking to be killed.  Kill them with one
rocket if you can.  Pan the turret to the left, and you'll see three more
guards appear.  Kill them with less than two rockets.  If you manage to kill
the two groups of three with three rockets or less, you'll earn a Bond Moment.
When the guards are dead, target the other turret and kill it, getting a second
Bond Moment.  Now, focus the turret on the podium thing that Diavolo is
standing in and shoot it.  Release control of the turret.

You must now disable the four exhaust vents that you saw rise during the
cutscene.  Two of them are on the same level as you, so run to them and press A
to use them, thereby disabling them.  Be careful of all the guards that will
come at you; I counted around ten in total.  When you've disabled these two
exhaust vents, head towards the red carpet on the lower level.  You'll see a
pair of double doors.  Don't go through them; instead, deploy a spider and send
it through the vent.  When you emerge on the other side of the door, use the
darts on the spider to kill the two guards, and you'll get the third Bond
Moment.  Once those guards are dead, activate the two exhaust vents on this
floor.

Unfortunately, you have to clear a blockage, so deploy another spider and send
it into the vent near the exhaust switch.  At the end, you'll see a wrench has
blocked off the vent.  Detonate the spider to clear the blockage, and you'll
have stopped the launch.  Now you have to leave, but since more men have come
in, including those in nanosuits, it's not as easy as it sounds.  Activate
thermovision to see the nano guards, and be sure to toss at least one EMP
grenade at a nanosuit to disable it, getting the final Bond Moment.  Only kill
those who are in your way, and run to the main entrance.  Head through the door
and you've just completed another mission.  Almost.

When the new area loads, you'll be facing one-on-one; James Bond vs. Diavolo.
Except Diavolo's in a jet... with twin rockets... and a minigun... so it's far
from remotely fair.  What you need to do is use your AT-420 to target three
separate parts of the jet; the left rocket, right rocket, and nano bomb.  Focus
on one part.  It takes four direct hits to fully destroy one section.  If you
run out of ammo, the jet's minigun should make short work of the wooden crates,
revealing tons of rocket ammo.  The jet has two attacks; it'll launch rockets
at you, which home, so be sure to dive to avoid them.  The second attack is the
jet sweeping the area with machine gun fire.  To avoid this, you can dive, but
you'd be better off hiding behind one of the metal crates (not the wooden ones,
and for good reason).  When you destroy each section of the jet, it'll finally
go down, and your mission will be over.  Well, Mr. Bond, one more mission to
accomplish, then you can go hang out with Serena.  Mmm, fun, huh?

Platinum Objective - Receive less than 100 damage

When you start off hand-to-hand the first two guys who start in front of you.
Throwing them is the best, easiest and quickest way to do it.  Once that is
done run and cover behind the box closest to you (just in front of you where
you start).  Crouch and fire on everything that moves and kill as many guys as
quickly as possible before the turrets come down.  When they do, run as fast as
you can to the end of the room and up the stairs to the level of ground where
you would shoot the turrets with the network gun. Shoot it and kill everyone in
the room.  Once you exit the network gun, crouch behind the computer console
just in front of you and wait there patiently with your sleeper gun and fire at
the three or four guys when they come (be patient!).  Once they are dead, hit
the switch on the rocket console to disable the rocket and go and hide again
in the same spot and wait for another two or three guys to come.  When no one
else is around, run to the other end of the floor and disable the other rocket
console.  Next, run down the stairs and to your right (opposite where the
double doors are that has the last rocket console in it) and quickly either
kill those three guys or send a spiderbot after them and sleeper dart them.
Once they are dead disable this rocket console.  At this point, a guy willl run
at you. Kill him quickly.  Run back where you came from, but be warned there
are now two guys who are to your right (up the main path that leads to the
exit, hiding behind some computers), so send a spiderbot and sleeper dart them.
Next, send a spiderbot into the spider tunnel just before the two double doors
and follow the path and sleeper dart the two guys waiting behind the door to
get a Bond Moment, then go and detonate at the wrench that is stuck.  Finally,
run and disable the last rocket console and then wait behind the crate beside
it and kill the four guys that come in (two of them are nano guards).  Once no
one else is running in send out a spiderbot and slowly and quietly go and
sleeper dart the five guys that are hiding, waiting for you.  Once they are
dead, run around every floor and walkway with the spiderbot to make sure no one
comes out.  When it is clear, run towards the exit.  If you hear shots, stop,
hide, go into thermovision and kill anyone you see.  Then run to the exit and
that is it.  I beat the level without a hit off me.  Be warned, though, that
killing so many people with the spiderbot gives you massive points, so I
suggest getting all the Bond Moments during the level, otherwise you will have
to redo it again the exact same way (except you would already have the platinum
objective.)
