( A: Introduction [secta] )
------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Suit up and keep this guide handy for your playthrough of EA and Crytek's
CRYSIS. Touted as the most graphically advanced shooter to date, Crysis
certainly delivers real time rendered graphics similar to those in
pre-rendered animation. Boasting an advanced AI and physics system,
and one of the most immersive stories in a shooter, Crytek has truly
outdone themselves once more. and that's my personal opinion. :)
Crysis puts you into the place of 1st Lt. Jake Dunn, codename Nomad of
U.S. Special Forces, Raptor Team.
Your unit is sent to the Lingshan Islands in the South China Sea on a
search and rescue mission. However, the moment you leap out of the plane,
you realise something down there isn't right...
We'll get on with the comprehensive guide soon, but first...
1. About me
============
My name is Justin Ang and I'm from Singapore. My hobbies include:
Gaming, Surfing the Net, playing online and offline games,
playing my NDS, PSP and Wii. I'm hoping to get an Xbox 360 sometime,
Halo 3 is just too fun to pass up!
This is my fourth guide (I think).
If you want to check out my other guides, scroll down to the bottom
of this guide. Anyway, let's go on!
2. E-mailing Rules
===================
1. Do not e-mail me asking silly questions or irrelevant things,
because, chances are that your questions are answered in the guide.
2. If you have anything to say, comment, criticize or contribute
anything at all, you can e-mail me then. Full credit will be
given of course.
3. If you put the subject as 'Crysis Question' there is a better
chance that I will respond to you.
4. Any rude comments in the mail will be instantly deleted. Ok?
5. That's it...

Hell, that's alot of controls.
All keys are rebindable to suit yourself.
The game is compatible with an Xbox 360 controller,
but hell I'm not going through the controls. :P
2. Your Nanosuit
=================
Your Suit has 4 different modes. Use them to survive in the field.
Armor
------
Icon: Shield
Your suit's default and best mode. It will fully absorb damage for you
until its 100 points of charge is depleted. Then you start to lose
health. The sheilds will regenerate over time, so will your health.
Speed
------
Icon: >>>
Use this mode to run. Fast. Your suit's energy will drain rapidly
if you sprint while in this mode, but it gets you around very fast.
Strength
---------
Icon: Fist
You will be able to carry heavier objects and punch harder.
This mode also steadies your hands when sniping, so use it.
It also lets you jump higher, but comes at a cost of suit energy.
Cloak
------
Icon: Silhouette
This mode is the next most used. It effectively hides you from enemy
view for as long as your suit's energy can last. When moving,
energy is depleted fast, so keep an eye on that counter.
If you find yourself ambushed by a patrol that you didn't detect,
switching to Stealth allows you to put enough distance between you
and the patrol, giving you a second chance to kill them undetected.
Just remember, shooting a weapon or attacking with a melee attack
pulls you out of stealth.
The last one (a rifle icon) is just to access the Weapon Modification
View (alternatively, press C to open it).
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------
( E. Walkthrough [secte] )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Okay, before I begin the walkthrough, let me give another alert:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guide contains a liberal amount of SPOILERS. DO NOT read this if you
hate those nasty things. You have been forewarned!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, got it? Now read...
_______________________________________________________________________
//Chapter 1: Contact // [crys1]
___________________________________________________________________//
_____________________________________________________
//Part 1.1 Divided We Fall // CONTACT // [1divd]
_______________________________________________//
Firstly, you are fed some backstory. A research team has discovered
*something* on Lingshan Island out in the South China Sea.
A week later you and your team are sent to conduct a search and
reacuse operation of the arcaeological team. The island is crawling
with Korean People's Army (hereon known in this guide as KPA) soldiers.
You start off in a plane above the sea. Soon, the pilot gives the
green light and you leap out into the night.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Land at the LZ >
____________________________//
While you're falling, you will be introduced to some game controls.
Keep looking to your left, you'll spot something flying towards you
and crash!
Having lost your suit's functionalities and your parachute, you
eventually crashland onto the beach.
Use your compass (above your minimap) to head southeast onto the
beach. Prophet recalibrates your suit and gives you your next objective.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Rendezvous with Jester >
____________________________//
Follow the green marker on your minimap. You'll be introduced to
more controls. Press C when prompted to.
Equip your silencer. As you proceed, Prophet will inform you that
there is an enemy nearby. He's on the ledge to your right.
Aim and take him out silently. Ahead, two more KPA wait
near the signal flare. Kill em.
Loot the bodies for ammo and a new weapon, the FY71. Ammo for this
rifle comes easy, so it may be wise to hang onto it.
Continue southeast to your objective. The minimap's green arrow
should lead you on. Once you reach a cliff, Jester will hail you and
jump down to meet you.
Soon, some comms come through from another of your teammates, Aztec.
Prophet tells you to find him ASAP. So go on.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Locate Aztec >
____________________________//
Switch your suit to Speed Mode. Follow Jester through the trees,
or just speed on ahead of him and follow your objective marker.
Soon you'll reach a clearing and a cutscene begins.
Dammit, Aztec's been killed. Something got him, along with 4
KPA patrols. Prophet vaporises the body remotely and tells
you to move on. Before you do, pick up the SCAR ammo near the blood
pool on the ground. Reload, and move on.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Get to the Landing Zone >
____________________________//
Proceed on southeast towards the LZ. You will find yourself in a
valley with 2 Koreans. Stick to the walls or lay low in the undergrowth
in cloak mode. Dispatch the patrol and move on. As you proceed to the
ridge a new part of the chapter begins.
_________________________________________________
//Part 1.2 First Light // CONTACT // [1firl]
___________________________________________//
As you walk out onto the ledge, you will get a new objective.
________________________________________
//!! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Disable the GPS Jamming Device >
______________________________________//
To see something amusing, quickly press 'B' after the two black bars
indicating the section title (First Light) disappears. Zoom in on the
dock. A KPA soldier will walk out on it and pee into the harbour.
You just spied on someone taking a leak. ^_^
However, this has a purpose. As you focus on enemies, your binocs
will 'tag' them. This means that their location will be permanently
displayed on your minimap and tactical map. It can track vehicles as
well. This is highly useful, as you'll know when enemies are coming
after you. The binocs have anpother function that will be described
later in-guide.
For now, head down the ridge. I recommend going prone and sniping
the KPA from afar. Do so quietly as loud firing will attract the
attention of the extremely painful minigun aboard the assault boat out
in the bay.
If you accidentally raise an alarm, deal with the enemies on land
quickly, and find some cover from the boat. A jeep will also drive
out towards you so be advised.
Once the area is secure, head to the jammer and press F near the
control panels to disable it. Alternatively, blow up the jammer.
Once the device is dealt with, proceed towards your green arrow
objective. You may commandeer a boat to get there or drive an enemy
jeep. Or walk. Either ways, you'll be faced with a bunch of enemies.
Just kill them or find some cover and go stealth to shake em off you.
As you get closer to the objective, you will get a new one:
________________________________________________
// !! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Investigate the North Korean Command Post >
(Optional)
______________________________________________//
Read on if you wish to complete this objective. Else, press
Ctrl+F and enter this code to skip this section entirely: [skip1]
Head northeast along the shoreline of the island. Remember to go
stealth when you're nearing the objective.
The KPA here are almost impossible to sneak by, so de-equip your
silencer and go out guns blazing. There are several targets to watch
out for (I counted 7), so be alert.
once the area is secure, explore around for some ammo and frag grenades.
Switch out your SCAR for a new weapon: the Shotgun. Reload and enter
the green Korean trailer. Press F near the laptop and you will
complete this objective. Loot all the ammo you can find in there and
get out.
====== End of Optional Section [skip1] ======
Proceed southwest towards the green objective carefully. There will be
a smal encampment with tons of KPA. Equip a silencer and use the FY71
to snipe. Be sure to find a good snipe spot first though.
The jeeps can be taken down in 1 go by shooting at their external gas
tanks. But keep in mind that by exploding the vehicles, you will get
tons of KPA on you wondering why you blew up their stuff. You can go in
and shoot them to bits with the shotgun or do a hit and run: go in, kill,
then run back out and kill any that follow. Rinse and repeat.
When the area is clear, go south towards the LZ. Prophet will soon
radio in to tell you that they ran into a KPA checkpoint. Sure enough,
you'll soon see a roadblock with 3 koreans. Toss in a grenade and
shoot any survivors. Once the roadblock is down, head in and turn left.
Your objective marker will have changed locations, so follow it.
Head on east to the new objective.
______________________________________________________
//Part 1.3 The Lusca's Call // CONTACT // [1lusc]
________________________________________________//
Switch to strength mode and jump up the series of rock ledges. Follow
the fairly linear path towards your objective.
A cutscene then initiates when you reach the location. A ship somehow
got stuck right in the middle of the island, and frozen solid to boot.
Must have been one heckuva snowstorm. After a bit more yakkity yak,
an alien will bust through the side of the ship and grab Jester.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Find Jester >
____________________________//
Once you regain control of Nomad, run forward to the objective marker.
You'll see the alien ahead opening a can of whoop ass on some koreans.
Follow the marker for a bit more until you reach a high ledge,
which is the chapter's end point.
How's that for an explosive beginning to the game?
_______________________________________________________________________
//Chapter 2: Recovery // [crys2]
___________________________________________________________________//
_______________________________________________
//Part 2.1 Trespass // RECOVERY // [2tres]
_________________________________________//
Whew. Barely 2 hours into the game and you've lost two member of your
squad. This ain't good, and Prophet shares this feeling too.
After he vaporises Jester's body, you can begin the mission.
You may like to pick up the SCAR near his body, but I wouldn't if I were
you, the SCAR isn't the best weapon you'd like to be fighting with.
______________________________________
// !! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Capture the Communications Trailer >
____________________________________//
Follow Prophet and Psycho down to a Korean comms trailer. The enitre
encampment has been taken down by the monster: no soldiers are alive
to be killed by you. whatever that thing was, it sure is a tough nut.
Prophet will access the Korean radio channels and give you and Psycho
a new mission:
__________________________________
// !! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Find the hostage in the village >
________________________________//
Psycho goes out on his own path to the village, so once again you're
left playing the lone wolf.
Switch to armor mode if you're not using it currently. You can either
walk there or drive, but I chose drive. Go east down the road.
An enemy jeep will drive up along the road and meet you. Use the
onboard gun to take them out. If you're playing on Easy or Normal,
you can fire from the driver's seat. In Hard or Delta, you must
press 2 to switch to the gunner's seat and shoot from there.
Proceed on to the village. You will encounter a fork in the road.
One is the main road leading into the village, the other a dirt road
leading away. Proceed up the dirt road for a bit.
________________________________________________
// !! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Access the North Korean Tactical Network >
______________________________________________//
Once you get the objective, abandon the car and go stealth to proceed.
Psycho will radio in to tell you he's there and looking for a good
place to provide support. Don't get your hopes up, his "support"
is non existant.
Head in and follow the marker. Keep up your stealth sneak. You can
choose to kill the koreans as you move from house to house (about 10
to 15 koreans in all) or sneak in the whole way. I managed to get
right into the objective building on Normal by sneaking. Once you're in,
you'll have no choice but to dispatch a few koreans. Make sure the
silencer's attached, you dont want a swarm of KPA on you.
This building contains the sniper scope attachment, just pick up a
rifle with the scope on it to acquire it.
Access the laptop on the second floor of the building and your objective
will change locations. Head east out of the building and find a good
sniping spot. Take out some soldiers on top of the school building,
they have machine gun nests up there so watch out. Enter the first
floor of the school. silently kill any guards that appear. Search
the first floor and you'll find a room full of weaponry. Stock up
on ammo and pick up a missile launcher. Remember where this room is,
you'll need to return to it later.
Proceed quietly up the stairs to the second floor. You'll hear a
korean arguing with a hostage as you go upstairs. From the stairwell
on the second floor, head right and proceed down the corridor to the
last door on your left. Press F on the door to initiate a cutscene.
Psycho busts in and slays the korean, and then frees the hostage.
You learn that the koreans are holding Dr. Rosenthal at the
excavation site. Just as you're about to evac, two tanks show up
and spoil the fun.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Destroy the KPA Tanks >
____________________________//
Psycho passes on the task to destroy the tank (lazy pig) and hands it
to you. Go up onto the roof of the school and take out the missile
launcher. Face the green dots on your map; that's where the tanks are.
Fire all 3 rounds of the launcher at the tank. Each tank needs 3 rockets
to blow up. Go down and get a second launcher and kill the remaining
tank. Obviously your blowing up tanks will attract korean attention,
so be sure to have your guns firing as you complete this objective.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Get to the rendezvous point >
____________________________//
Once the tanks are dead, grab another launcher (for later) and get
the hell outta there. Follow the objective marker and run run run!
When you near the waterfall, a new part of the chapter begins.
________________________________________________
//Part 2.2 Crossings // RECOVERY // [2cros]
__________________________________________//
Use strength mode to climb up the rocks beside the waterfall.
Once you are clear of the waterfall, a new objective drops in:
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Head to Prophet's location >
____________________________//
There are scattered enemy patrols in this area so be advised. Keep
the silencer on as you kill or go stealth ans sneak by them.
Prophet will keep updating you with enemy positions as you move.
I advise folowing the river if you want to sneak. While moving up
the river, you will encounter some partols walking along inside
the water. Just cloak yourself and DON'T MOVE. Wait till they pass
then crawl forward slowly away. When you're at a safe distance, run.
Prophet will radio in again when you near the objective.
__________________________________
// !! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Head upriver to the cave system >
________________________________//
Damn, can't this guy make up his mind?
Move southeast to your new objective marker. Keep near the river at
all times. You may choose to go on the high ground but make sure you
follow the river's path.
You will encounter more guards. Kill them from a distance; prophet will
tell you before you encounter patrols. Enemy snipers are on the left
bank off the river, two of them. Take them out silently too. After
you kill them, cross to their location. Proceed onwards.
There will be about 9-10 more guards en route to the objective,
so use the cover or kill them quietly.
Keep moving southeast until you see Prophet. Follow him into the
caves to end the chapter.
_______________________________________________________________________
//Chapter 3: Relic // [crys3]
___________________________________________________________________//
_______________________________________________
//Part 3.1 Left Behind // RELIC // [3lefb]
_________________________________________//
The chapter begins with a cutscene. The alien bursts in on you and
grabs Prophet. Wow. the mission has really gone FUBAR. Once you regain
control of Nomad, Major Strickland will assume command of your mission
and gives you a new objective:
__________________________________________________
// !! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Disable the North Korean GPS Jamming Station >
________________________________________________//
Keep heading southwest of your position. You'll soon come across a path
overlookinga KPA guard post. You can go cloak at this time and use your
binocs to tag the enemies and vehicles in the post before you go in.
Screw on that silencer and take down all you can see from this position.
Move slowly around to the northwestern perimeter of the base, killing
koreans as you go. You need to soften up resistance in this village so
sniping the KPA now is critical.
When you think you've felled a lot of koreans, move into the village.
You may choose to scramble a korean jeep to get in, and use it to kill
the remaining bastards, or just sneak in by going stealth and crawling
in. It's your call. If you run into any trouble, always good to have
that gun with you firing.
Find the GPS device and press F near the control panels. The device
is the same one as the jammer you disable earlier in "Contact".
This completes your objective. Strickland will then radio in to give
you a new objective:
____________________________________________________________
// !! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Infiltrate the KPA Military Base and gather intelligence >
__________________________________________________________//
Do what the man says. Head out of the guard post south. You may
like to get a vehicle to drive this bit in, walking sucks sometimes
in this game. As you drive onwards, you'll eventually come up to
a split. Drive on the left fork. Kill any patrols you see en route
and abandon that car. You must get in as quietly as possible,
cos the area is crawling with guards, as Strickland will soon point
out.
Take out the guards in the towers first with a sniper scope and
silencer. Remember, you don't want to raise an alarm. When you
have been detected, an alarm klaxon will ring out so you'll know
when to hide.
Okay, after dispatching the guards in the towers, the only way
across seems to be a narrow suspension bridge. Walking across
on it will definitely attarct a ton of attention, and your cloak
mode isn't nearly enough to cover yourself running across it. So,
drop down into the river. Make sure you are in armor mode, your suit
will then absorb most of the impact. Make sure you stay low as you
proceed west along the river. A helicopter will be on you sharpish
if you are spotted, so stay hidden.
In the event you are attacked by the heli, use the missile launcher
you should have stolen from the school to shoot it down. One good
rocket hit is enough. Elsewise, you can shoot at the fuel tanks of
the heli (the cylindrical things at the tail end) and if they catch
fire, the heli will leave you alone. Keep following the river.
There are a number of patrols as well on this side of the river, so
use the trees and buses for cover as you make your way to the base.
I highly advise killing them at this point.
After a bit, you'll find a path winding upwards. Eventually, you'll
find yourself on a winding gravel road back up to the KPA base.
Cross the road and sneak east into a patch of grass. When you start
to get close, go prone and prime your rifle. It should still be
sniper scoped and silenced. You will be horribly exposed here, so
just shoot down all the guards you see as they come to you.
Be warned, there is a machine gun nest facing your location. If soldiers
come to man the gun, just kill them fast. Machine gun nests are a good
way to exploit a game's AI. Once a soldier manning the gun is killed,
another will take his place in a few seconds. So by just aiming at
the nest, you can take out a good number of koreans.
When you finally enter the base, unscrew the silencer and stick to
cover while you eliminate the rest of the koreans. Do note that a
helicopter will drop off six more korean soldiers when you are detected.
Once the base is secure, search the green trailers for the all too
familiar intelligence laptop. Press F while facing its screen to
complete the objective.

________________________________//
In the room with the laptop, there is a map on the wall showing your
location and the excavation site's location. It can help you chart a
path there, so take a good look. Once you head out of the laptop
trailer, walk to the trailer directly in front of you, it's an ammo dump.
Restock on ammo, reload all your weapons and move on.
Strickland will recommend you take a vehicle. Do so. There is a KPA truck
in the middle of the base, just begging to be stolen. Do it. Head out
of the base and take a left. You will encounter scattered
korean resistance as you leave the base. Shoot them, run them over or
escape. You will be driving through some fields, and the road winds
through them, so you'll be exposed, just drive onwards as fast as you can
The road will eventually curve towards an enemy base. Turn the vehicle
off road at that point and head east. Drive across the river and use it
to shake off any enemies. A little more along you will find a fork.
Go right. When you see a blue barrel, abandon the vehicle and go into
the bushes.You'll find a path leading to the excavation site.
Small enemy patrols dot the grounds near the site. Stay low and dispatch
them. It's hard to sneak. When you get near enough, your objectives are
updated:

There are a ton of machinegun nests here, so go prone and snipe them all
Remember to use that AI exploit I told you about earlier. Sure it's
time consuming, but this method almost guarantees you'll enter the
base with minimal resistance.
Once the soldiers stop coming to the nests, head around the perimeter
of the base and kill any koreans in sight. Watch out for guards in the
sniper towers; you will want to snipe them before they snipe you.
The soldiers will probably try to flank you at this point, so remember to
watch your six, and stay frosty. When you feel like everyone but you
is dead, loot the area for some ammo. Be constantly on the lookout for
survivors. The round dome is the place you wanna enter.
Look for an entrance via the green korean trailers attached to the dome.
There is a ton of ammo in here so pick up all you want. Press F on the
electronic lock near the set of white doors in the trailer to begin a
cutscene.
Dr. Rosenthal explains to General Kyong via video conference that he
has found something very odd at the site. Kyong loses his temper and
the creature in the dome comes alive, turning the interior into a
frostland. Dr. Rosenthal is now dead and the rest of the koreans are fleeing
the base.

__________________________________
// !! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Proceed to the extraction point >
________________________________//
As you head out, you will see koreans fleeing the area. Instead of
following them, turn right immediately when you get out of the trailer. You
should see a yellow earth mover if you're going the right way. Keep going.
You'll come across 3 trailers, the last one contains an ammo dump.
Lock and load. Proceed onwards. YOu can choose to drive there, or follow what
I did. I went into strenght, and jumped over the low dirt mound barrier
into the forested area.
Sneak along the forest path, killing any KPA you encounter. You will want
to move southwest so check your compass often. You will come across
the river soon enough. You should be able to locate a boat easily.
Grab it and follow the river down.
Zoom out over the waterfall and fall into the river below. If the boat
doesn't capsize, fine. Keep driving. Use the boat for as long as possible.
When you have to leave it, proceed down the river on foot. There will be
another chopper taking a crack at you. Shoot it down, or fire on it long
enough to make it leave.
There are a ton of enemies en route, so instead of fighting, alternate
between Speed and Armor modes to rush by them. You will come across a
bridge sooner or later. There is another boat here. Use it to drive to the
objective. Soon, you'll encounter some marshes. Abandon the boat here
and walk in on foot. You should be moving south so if you're not, you
did something wrong.
You'll soon reach a creepy looking graveyard. Strickland will radio in to
tell you that the area isn't secure. You look around. Nothing in sight.
Ghosts maybe? Or close to that. There are four or five koreans here cloaked.
Somehow they got nanosuits too. Nomad makes the observation that they look
like cheap knockoffs. ^_^

Take out the nanosuited koreans. They take about 3-4 shotgun rounds so
be advised. They tend to shoot you from a distance so once you see a bullet
fly past, face that direction. You'll see them. Run after the korean and let
him have it. Thewy use sniper rifles, so use the forest cover to hide
from the Really Painful Bullets. Once the area is secure, the VTOL pilot
tells you that he's coming in for a landing.

You will hit a road soon. Turn left. A jeep drives up and attempts
to kill you. Return fire and steal the jeep. Continue northeast down
the road. Use the car to kill any scattered koreans you come across.
When you first see the base, exit the car and head in on foot; the base
is a gas station. Blow up the gas pumps and enjoy the carnage. Move in
and kill any koreans the explosion didn't take out. Gather the ammo
inside the station. Move on after the base is secure.
The first AA is right beyond the gas station you just blew up. Pull out
your rifle and silence it, then use the scope to kill the koreans around
the AA gun. Search the base once you're satisfied the koreans are dead.
You will find some C4 charges sitting on top of some crates, grab all
you can, you'll need them. Toss one C4 on top of the AA (just go near
the AA gun and click mouse 1). then right click to take out the
C4's transmitter and move to a safe distance. Once you're some distance
away, go ahead and left click. Watch Explosion. Laugh Madly. Move on.
You'll see a bridge near the emplacement. Cross it and use a jeep on
the other side to drive onwards. Be warned, a chopper will retaliate
after you destroy the AA gun so use the rocket launcher to kill it.
Drive along the road until you encounter a fork. Take the one heading
right and drive until you reach a small peninsula. Exit the vehicle,
and take out your trusty shotgun or an unsilenced rifle. There are
quite a number of KPA here, and a few in the sniper towers. Eliminate
them all. Look for red barrels, shoot them to create an explosion.
Once the troops are down, Use the C4 again on the AA gun and wipe it
out. Loot the area for some ammo while Strickland informs you that there
is still one more AA emplacement. There will be more C4, a rocket launcher
and some FY71 rounds.
Go back to the fork in the road and take the other path this time.
You will come across another enemy base, prompting a new objective:
________________________________________
//!! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Search the base for intel >
______________________________________//
Shoot as many humans as you can. A heli will soon arrive to harass you
further. Shoot it down. Once all troops and the heli is dead, search
the base for ammo and the laptop. Download the data. Once the intel is
secured, move on to the final AA gun. You will soon see a HUGE enemy
base in the harbor. If you still have a vehicle, drive in, crash the
gate and make a dash for the triple A, all while shooting with your
shotgun or unsilenced rifle. Subtlety is useless here, so just run in.
Find the last AA gun (use your objective marker) and plant the C4.
Kaboom.
Strickland will then radio in to give you a new objective.

Fight your way to the south end of the dock. There are a few machinegun

Things will get dicey. Enter a warehouse on your left when you are
nearing the ship. Kill some troops inside it and loot the warehouse for
your grenade launcher attachment for the FY71.
Head back out and keep fighting to the cruiser. A heli will arrive and
shoot at you. Kill it with the rocket launcher you should still have.
If not, make a run for it and kill ground troops. You can also use the
grenade launcher attachment.
Head to the left side of the cruiser. Kill more koreans and switch to
strength mode. Jump up into the cruiser. There is a broken bit of
railing to indicate to you where to board. Switch back to armor
immediately after making the jump. Two koreans will come out of a door
onboard. Kill them and go inside. There are some more koreans mid-ship.
Kill them all and pick up a rocket launcher lying on a crate. From the
door you came out from, turn left immediately (you should see the crate)
and then head straight until you find another door on your left.
Enter this door and dispatch any koreans who dare to challenge you. Head down
into the bowels of the boat and find a laptop. Press F to disable the jammer.

RPGs on the cliffs. Take them all out.
When your tank's damage is at 90% plus, abandon it and go on foot. Kill any
walking koreans and scramble their rocket launchers. Use these to shoot down
the tanks. There is an abundancy of rocket launchers here so use em.

will get many, MANY more missile launchers in this level.
Once the koreans are dead and gone, loot the area for some ammo. Reload
all weapons and locate a fresh tank facing the stopped cargo train.

You will need to face some tanks and helicopters here. Follow the train tracks
and you will be given a new secondary:
________________________________________
//!! NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Destroy the anti-aircraft artillery >
______________________________________//
Be forewarned, tanks *may* appear behind you out in the open so it's easy to
get surrounded. keep watching your six and the radar. Follow the train tracks
until you reach the first triple A emplacement. These things only take one
shot from your tank cannon to blow up.
You might have to leave the tank at this point, so stock up on ammo and
missile launchers. I'll assume you have left the tank for this section.
From the first triple A, jump down the cliff (In armor mode please!) towards
a river. Swim across it, and follow the objective to the next triple A.
Use a rocket launcher or C4 to blow it up. Once you are done with this tank,
follow the remaining yellow marker to the last triple A gun. It would be
wise to stock up on ammo often, I cannot stress this point enough. Also
pick up fresh missile launchers while you can; each korean killed will usually
yield one launcher with 3 rockets loaded.
Alternate between speed and armor modes to get to the last AA gun inside the
grassy area. Do note that each gun is and will be heavily protected, so use
your wits to find cover and weapons whenever you can. Once the final triple A
is blown up, Strickland will tell you to paint the munitions dump for ownage.

Heh, I like the way Strickland pronounces "Gauss". "Gorst Rifle." Lol.
Anyway, back on track. Follow the yellow marker to the VTOL and
enter it to pick up the Gorst, sorry, Gauss Rifle. Reload the rifle
and pick up some extra ammo inside the VTOL. The rifle is pretty useless
at this point, but it'll soon become your best friend later on in the game.
There will be an enemy blockade en route to the green objective marker. Use
your Gauss Rifle with a scope to take them out from a distance. Walk in
with care, the ground is riddled with mines. Once you're through the
blockade, keep moving down the tracks and you will discover the earth
has been torn up. After giving this info to Strickland, you are told to
proceed by yourself to the mine first.
If you fall into the trench, turn left and look for a way up. Else, switch
to strength mode and just leap across the gap. Walking further along the
tracks will end the level.

After this secondary objective comes in, you will see a truck near the
base entrance. Use the Gauss to shoot its gas tank, blowing it up.
Now you should have the koreans' full and undivided attention. You may
attack the base head on but some scouting on the western wall of the
base yielded a hole to sneak in from. The koreans sure have tight
security set up. yeah. You will be attacked by the KPA inside the base.
Just shoot to kill and you'll be fine.
Soon, some light armor will roll up and attempt top blow the bejesus
out of you. Use a rocket launcher, the grenade attachment or C4 if
you can to blow it up. Else, just rush past it with a combo of cloak
and speed modes.
Get into the building in the east part of the base. It contains the
intel you need and a ton of guns and ammo. Kill the fools inside the
building and grab all the ammo you can carry while the data downloads
itself to Command. Once the data is uploaded, Strickland congratulates
you and tells you General Kyong is holed up inside the mine with some
hostages. Follow the road southwest out of the base.
When you reach the crusher facility, and the objective, find some cover
IMMEDIATELY.

The area is crawling with KPA: Some ordinary soldiers and two or three
nanosuited KPA. These nanosuited ones have miniguns (kinda like TF2's
Heavy) and they are extremely painful. Hold back before jumping in
and use the gauss to take out as many as you can find. Once the gauss
is outta ammo, switch to your other gun (shotgun preferred) and take out
the rest of the fools. Work your way to the southern part of the base.
Behind the crusher building is some ammo and a rocket launcher. Right
on time, a helicopter shows up. Blow it up. A small tank will also
be on site to harass you, so introduce it to your rocket launcher as well.
A single launcher should be enough for you. If you miss, there should
be another one lying near the crates.
When the last of the koreans are dispatched, the pilot will radio in to
tell you that the LZ is clear and they are moving in. Strickland

There is a high enemy presence in this area, so go slowly between the
different levels of the mine. Proceed southeast into the complex.
As you approach the objective, you will be attacked by another light tank.
Light him up. If you shoose to use C4 to kill it, run up to it with speed mode
and plant the stuff.
Search the green trailers for an ammo cache, then follow the road up to the
mine entrance. Here there be lots of enemies, so fins good cover. There
are many machinegun nests, so you can use the AI exploit again. there
are also a few nanosuit koreans here, so watch yourself. Use the trenches
to sneak up behind them and put a few good rounds of shotgun ammo in their

Head deeper into the mine shaft. Follow the tracks. Strickland will tell you
to use night vision. It's not neccesary to use it, but note that past that
point, a single nanosuit soldier will ambush you, so keep your eyes peeled.
From here onwards, the road is enemy-free. Follow the path. You will soon
come into a cavern. Rocks will fall down from the top, so stay in the
tunnel until all seismic activity has ceased. Go onto the ledge and strength
jump across. As you head further in, you will hear Helena Rosenthal
arguing with General Kyong. Move forward onto the metal platform to initiate

and knock you out. Ouch.

This is my favourite part of the level. You'll see why soon.
Your nanosuit has been disabled, and General Kyong yaks on and on about
the "temple". Helena begs with him to stop what he's doing. Being the
pig-headed general he is, he refuses and orders the temple door blown open.
As the door opens, a charge blasts out, killing all enemies excpet for Kyong,
Helena and you. Your suit has been magically recharged by the surge.
Now it's up to you to bring the bad guy down.
==== Boss Fight: General Kyong [wimpy] ====
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Eliminate General Kyong >
____________________________//
Okay, this boss fight is a seriously boring one. He's very easy to bring
down, that's why this is my favourite boss fight. I will decribe a few
methods to kill him, you can pick whatever you feel like doing.
Method 1: Guns
Right in front of you is a rifle. Pick it up and reload. Explore the
bottom level for a precision rifle and some more ammo. Switch to
precision. circle around and find a place where you can get a good headshot
on Kyong, but he can't reach you. I suggest the back area near the "temple".
He will try to fire on you with the minigun, but can't as it is a blind
corner for his weapon. You can score repeated headshots from here.
Method 2: WWE Smackdown
Yes, you read right. After looting all the guns and ammo you can find,
switch to your fists of fury and sneak up behind him and go into strength
mode. Proceed to beat the crap out of him. He can't fire at you since the
AI doesn't know what the heck to do when you're at close proximity.
When your suit energy is depleted, find some cover and let it recharge.
Then, sneak behind him again and let fly your fists. He only took me
about 10 punches to down him in Delta difficulty. Yes, DELTA.
Method 3:
Some reader suggested solutions:
Since you have the only Crysis FAQ on Gamefaqs, I thought I would share
a startegy you don't have listed for the General mini boss fight.
Instead of just beating him with your fists, I switched to strength
mode, grabbed a barrel and threw it at him form close range. On
Normal Difficulty, he died instantly. This may be more effective
(though less entertaining) than punching him on higher difficulties.
This was actually the way I killed him on my first run through and
I thought it was quite funny.
~proDystopian
you can pick up the box at the back of the level and throw it at
Kyong with maximum strength. 2/3 times its an instant kill, and
1/3 of the time you just need to do it twice.
~bopomofo16
Once Kyong's dead, Helena will call out to you from a mine lift.
enter it and you will get some more story to chew on. A VTOL comes in
to retrieve her and leaves you behind. The mine lift then drops back
down and you black out. End of level.

Okay, this can be one of the more frustrating levels or one of the
more fun ones. To me, it's fun. Graphical lag is most noticeable in
this level so take note.
After you wake up, grab all the ammo you can find. Use the shotgun.
Make your way up to the strange entrance and use strength mode to punch
through the iron bars blocking your way.
the first thing you'll notice is that your faithful compass starts to
go haywire, and your tac-map gains a ton of static, effectively cutting
yourself off from the rest of the outside world. What have you gotten
yourself into this time?
Okay a quick side note here before I proceed further. This level tends
to let you get disoriented easily, so thank god Crytek made it a fairly
linear one. But if you ever find yourself lost, just look for the
landmarks I try to describe in this guide and follow my directions
from there. You should do fine if you stick with me.
Keep moving into the tunnel. You will soon see an alien conveyor belt
constructing more of those machines that took Prophet. About halfway
down the chamber, you'll lose gravity.
Take a moment to get used to it, then float to the end of the room.
Turn right and you should see a sparking hole in the wall. Float down
this hole and you'll get your first glimpse of an alien creature.
The music gets real creepy in here and sets the mood well, kudos
to the composer. Follow the tunnel until you reach a chamber with
tons of crystals on the wall.

Nomad decides to "go against the flow" of the debris in the room.
Look out for a vent blasting steam, inside it, an alien will pop out
and attack. These guys have a very painful melee, one hit will
drop your sheilds fully and reduce your health to 1, so stay frosty.
Keep swimming against the flow of debris until you see a orange
swirly thing on the right generating the current that is pushing
you back. Put one shotgun round into it and destroy it.
Ahead, there is a tunnel which loops. instead of goind round and
round, look up from the generator about 45 degrees. There is a
pentagonal hole in the ceiling. Float through it and a brief
cutscene ensues when you are attacked by one of the green aliens.
After you get control again, follow the alien along the crawlspace.
On your left there will be a destroyable grate, melee it in strength
mode to proceed.
You will be floating through a series of tunnels that is enemy free.
Soon, you will pass through a series of "arches" and come into
a large chamber. Nomad asks "what is this place" when you're there.
Several aliens reside in this room. You can choose to fight them or
avoid fighting. Your objective is to destroy five more of those
power cores (the gold/orange swirly thing remember?). Once the
cores are disabled, Nomad will comment on it and you may proceed.
There is a pentagonal tunnel hole leading onwards in the ceiling
of this room. To find the ceiling, just stop moving and Nomad will
right himself. Then float up. The pentagonal hole has a yellow light
outline. You'll know it when you see it.
You will come to another grate. melee it again and float through.
It ends at a small hole to a chamber beneath you. Drop in, say hi
to the aliens and kill them all. Searching the sides of the room
will yield you two ammo dumps, take the opportunity to restock and
reload.
Once you're done looting, find the tunnel that leads out of the
room on the opposite side of where you came in. go through it
and stop when you're about to enter another room. Use this position
as a chokepoint for the aliens in the room. Lure them with a few
shots from your gun.
Once the room is clear, make a right out of the tunnel and then turn
left towards a series of large blue energy gates. They will cycle through
activated shields and non activated. So while you're trapped you will
need to deal with some aliens. The good news is that they can't pass
through the shields either. Move through the sheilds until you reach
the other side. You should see two tunnels pulsing with energy on
the wall ahead. Take the left one.
_________________________________________
//Part 7.3 Legion // CORE // [7legi]
___________________________________//
You will be treated to a rollercoaster ride through the bowels of
the alien structure. Go stealth for the entire ride; some aliens
can see you while you're zooming along inside the tunnel.
Once the ride ends, gather some ammo from the dumps around the room.
Proceed to the big glass window and check out the aliens' invasion
force. This will trigger the aliens coming into the room to attack, but
it's the only way to proceed the game.
Kill them all, about 10 total, and look for the gold ovular hologram
floating in the middle of the room. There should be a control station
below it. Face the station then move upwards to a closed pentagonal
door. It will open for you as you go near it.
In the next long chamber, switch to speed and swim the distance to the
other door on the end as fast as you can. Hide behind the ridges near
the door as the lights go out. When they come back on, there will be a
TON of green guys in the room. Keep a cool head.
You can either choose to kill wave after wave of aliens or just sit
it out there at your current position in cloak mode. If you choose to
fight, be sure to find cover in the left and right extremities of the
room. If you choose to stay cloaked, just remain at your position,
occasionally alternating between armor and cloak to let the suit energy
recharge.
After some time, or when all aliens are dead, the door at the end of
the room will open. Float there and you will be sucked into it, and
the level ends.

//Part 8.1 Frozen // PARADISE LOST // [8froz]
____________________________________________//
You begin the level coming out of the alien structure. Gravity is restored
and you can walk normally again.
Before you can get on the VTOL for extraction, aliens fly out of the
building and freeze the land in a huge sphere of energy. Your ride is
unable to pick you up, and so you must find your own way out.
Strickland radios in for a "No Bullshit" assessment, and gets you to find
a platoon of marines left on the mountain.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Find the missing marines >
____________________________//
Head east down the mountain. As you proceed, a large alien craft will
fly in and drop off 3 alien soldiers. You can use the shotgun to defeat
them: 2 shots per alien is good enough, OR, mash F and walk near them
to grab them, then beat the crap out of them like they owe you money.
Either way, you will kill them. I suggest the grab method as they die
upon release from your grip. Avoid their bodies, they explode a short
while after death.
Proceed down the mountain, killing any aliens you see. Soon, you will see
a shack across a ridge, use speed mode and do a sprint jump. Gather up
some ammo and weapons from the shack.
Keep moving towards your objective marker. From the shack, drop into
the chasm you just leaped over and head north. Remember to be in armor
mode when falling, you will get less damage.
Soon after fighting more aliens, you will reach the marines' last
known position. The sad buggers are frozen solid. You radio in to
tell Strickland of their predicament when a wave of aliens attack.
Then, like some cheesy superhero, Prophet jumps in and starts blowing
the aliens to hell. Help him.
___________________________________________________
//Part 8.2 Passage // PARADISE LOST // [8pasg]
_____________________________________________//
He may be carrying a big gun, but it slows him down. Help him out as much
as you can with Mr. Shotgun or your fists.
When the wave is dead, Prophet will tell you that his suit is damaged
and he's gonna get flash frozen soon. He then offers you his gun. Don't
take it, it sucks. Or, you may choose to grab it, but it overheats pretty
fast and doesn't deal alot of bang for your buck. Your pick. After a bit
more talk, more aliens come in for an attack.

Follow the green markers, they will lead you to the next heat source.
When you reach the second heat source, you will be attacked by a large
alien craft. Use whatever you have to shoot them down. With the threat
neutralised, head north to the third heat source. You will face 3 more
alien soldiers en route.
Move northeast to the next heat source, and sit tight near the downed
helicopter. Let Prophet recharge, then go to the green dot on your map.
When Prophet reaches the final heat source, let him charge up and
haul ass across the broke bridge. Watch your footing on the bridge.
When you exit the sphere across the bridge, the mission ends.

As you drive off, look backwards. the last car has a lousy driver. :P
As you move down the mountain, Prophet will yell out the positions of the
aliens. Shoot down as many as you can. As you proceed down, Helena will
radio in to you from the crashed VTOL. Keep gunning the aliens as Prophet
brings you down.

out and go Gauss on their alien asses. There will be some Gauss ammo
in the base so you won't run out. There are also some rocket launchers
strewn here and there, pick them up and use them if you like.
When the aliens are clear, a VTOL will land to extract you and the
other marines. The big alien monster however has caught up and Strickland
volunteers to stay behind to draw its fire. Salute the man, he's going
to hell. Once the VTOL is in the air, the mission is over.

====== End of Optional Section [skip2] ======
From the area where the marines are trapped, fly right into a valley.
Mash Left Shift for afterburner. In this canyon, there are two twisters
which will kill you instantly if you fly into them. The Ice Sphere is also
slowly expanding over the valley, giving you additional time pressure.
Stick to the left side of the valley and mash the left shift until you
are clear of the gorge. You will get a new objective when you're clear:

You land on the ship safely and the marines onbord your VTOL congratulate
you for flying so superbly. Exiting the plane, you discover Psycho has
brought one of the crashed alien carriers onboard. The alien then sucks
some energy from the floodlights on the flight deck and moves!
After the alien is subdued again, you are told to proceed to the CDC
for debriefing. You are also told that Prophet is onboard, though he
seems a bit strange in the head.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Proceed to CDC >
____________________________//
Enter the door on deck to the ship's bowels. Follow the green signboards
to the CDC (It has a blue sign above it reading CDC). Admiral Morrison
informs you that the US joint chiefs have recommended a limited nuclear
assualt on the island, and Helena Rosenthal protests against this, saying
that this wasn't the right method to go. After a bit more talk, you are
told to visit the armory.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Proceed to the armory >
____________________________//
Follow the signs until you reach the armory. It also has a blue sign like
the CDC's one to inform you that you have reached your destination.
Enter and you will meet Prophet having his suit repaired. The scientist
marvels at how Propet managed to get the alien weapon working by himself.
He then leaves in a strange mood with his gun back to the island. Crazy
fellow.
You are told to sit down in the chair to get your own armor repaired. As
you do this, Helena suggests an alternative to defeat the aliens. She has
identified a signal used by the aliens when they recharge. She believes that
she could use the nanosuit to transmit a scramble signal that will overload
the aliens and kill them. Before she can expound on this theory further,
Morrison summons her to the bridge.
While the scientist finishes up, an engineer brings in a TAC gun for storage.
This baby fires a mini nuke at a target, with a lot more bang than a
conventional rocket launcher. After you're done in the lab, go to the bridge
as well.
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!
< Proceed to the bridge >

If the signs aren't enough to lead you there, you will see a soldier running
ahead of you, follow him. He'll lead you right to the bridge. As you move
to the bridge, Morrison briefs all his men over the PA that he has been
given clearance by the White House to nuke the island.
As you enter the bridge, you discover that Prophet has gone AWOL, stealing
a VTOL to get to the island. The crew onboard are primed and ready to
deliver the nuke. Helena begs Morrison to change his mind one last time,
but he refuses to listen. Launching the nuke, Helena watches helplessly
as the missile heads to target.
A loud explosion later, the crew discovers that the nuke has in fact,
strengthened the aliens, and the Ice Sphere expands quickly to cover the
entire island. Helena does a bit of "I told you so", and then the aliens
attack the carrier.

Use strength mode to punch open the bridge door and head downwards. After
the first flight of stairs, go into the room on this floor and pick up
a Gauss Rifle. There is a minigun at the base of the stairwell, so you may
want to pick it up. I gave it a miss however.
Set your suit to strength again and punch through one final door to the
flight deck.
IMMEDIATELY change back to armor mode; the flight deck's gone to hell.
Search the area for Gauss ammo, and use the rifle to take down the aliens.
When enough aliens are killed, you are told to go and help out some engineers
trapped at the bottom levels of the ship to repair the core. Great. You've
been demoted from a US Special Forces operative to a ship engineer. Lovely.
Head southwest on the deck and stand in the area with 3 marines. The deck
elevator will go down slowly. As you move into the ship, find a smaller
elevator in the middle of the floor. Drop into it and go down.
Exit the broken elevator and walk further in. Pick up the shotgun and ammo.
Move carefully through this waterlogged section; an explosion will be
triggered somewhere along the path and you will need to hide.
You will encounter a pair of broken doors further on, punch through them
as usual. Meet the chief engineer on the small platform above the water in
the dark room. He will tell you the core is overloading and you have to
override it. He opens a door for you.

There is a patch of electrified water, just run through it as fast as

mode to jump into the hole, then find a short ladder in the room and ascend.
Crawl through the vent and drop into a control room. Proceed through
the open door and find another control room with a big red button.
The engineer will tell you to press it, so go ahead and do so.
After the button is pressed, the rods start to bottom, but 3 are jammed.
Before you can do anything, four alien soldiers burst in and start to
suck power from the core. Helena butts in an transmits a signal through
your suit. It works! The aliens go crazy and die; one crashes through
the window and another through the door. Once the aliens are gone, the
engineer gives you another task:
______________________________
//!! NEW OBJECTIVE DETECTED !!

Let your sheilds recharge and switch to strength. rush into the room and
quickly press F while facing all 3 rods. You don't need to hold down F
to push the rods in. Once you have pressed all 3 down, run back to the
control room and switch to armor, letting your shields recharge. The engineer
then opens the locked doors for you to get out.
Move through the rooms back to the engineer. You will find one room with
electrocuted water in it, use the yellow generator in the center as a
bridge across.
Once across, use strength to punch through another pair of doors.
Backtrack through the area with the engineer. As you are heading back,
aliens burst in and attack! Go Gauss on them, then go into the next room.
Use the elevator on the west side of the room to get up to the next hangar.
Kill any aliens you see and go through the door on the far northwest side.
You will be in another hangar with aliens, just deal some smack to them and
find a broken door on the east side; just use strength to punch through them.
You decide you want to use the TAC gun, so make a small detour to the armory.

There are tons of gauss ammo and miniguns on the deck, you may choose to
use both. Or, save ammo and find some rocket launchers. There's plenty.
After a ton of rocket launcher hammering, the alien will soon get mad. It
will occasionally freeze you, shoot a huge plasma cannon at you or pick
you up and toss you. If you get frozen, quickly mash A and D to break free.
When it eats enough rockets, it'll die.

< Destroy the warship's turrets >
_________________________________//
There's four of them, and they're marked on your map. This big guy has got
all the bells and whistles: a full blown freeze ray and two huge cannons,
in addition to four turrets. Remember to mash A and D if you get frozen.
Use the launcher to shoot at each of the turrets; they'll reveal their
location when they are priming to fire at you. Destroy all four and Helena
will try to lower the beast's sheilds so you can get a crack at it.
Cover them while they deactivate the shields; there will be some alien craft
flying around. Use the Gauss rifle to take them out.
When the shield is down, Helena will tell you so and you finally get to use
the TAC gun. Take it out and aim the big crosshair at the cannon. This will
lock the TAC gun onto the cannon. When the TAC gun gets a lock on, let loose
a nuke. It will blow up the cannon.
Psycho circles around to the other cannon so that Helena can get to work on
its shields. Cover them again from more alien craft. Use the Gauss and
scramble for ammo when you need to.
Once the second shield is down, lock on with the TAC gun and shoot it to pieces.
Now the thing's really mad. It starts to rise above the deck and releases four
elite alien soldiers to attack you. Kill two of them to lessen the heat;
as killing three or all four of them will prompt the alien warship to
release four more.
Helena tells you that there is a hatch on the underside of the ship. It's
the one with the fancy blue glowy lines on it. Locate a rocket launcher and
fire 4 rockets into the hatch. This should blow it open even on Delta.
When the hatch is open, take out the TAC gun and lock on. Then blow that
son-of-a-***** to hell. Cheer loud and long after it hits.

into the VTOL.
Enjoy the cinematic ending as the warship collapses into an epic whirlpool.
Now your crew knows exactly how to defeat the aliens, and you discover that
somehow Prophet has made it through the nuke on the island. Spirits rising,
your VTOL circles around and flies back to the island.
It's time to take the fight to the aliens.

( F. Multiplayer [sectf] )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
In addition to all that goodness in this game, Crysis also comes with
multiplayer! This short section will explain a bit about online play.
1. Game Modes
``````````````
Crysis Multiplayer comes in two flavours: Instant Action, aka your classic
Deathmatch, and Power Struggle.
Power Struggle is Battlefield-like; meaning that you will have to accomplish
certain goals and objectives, the ultimate goal being to completely obliterate
the enemy's HQ from the face of the Earth.
I highly suggest watching the Power Struggle tutorial video included with the
game to better understand this mode.
When you're ready to jump in, look for me online! My IGN is f13rysp1r1t, hope
to see you someday.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------
( G. Tips and Tricks [sectg] )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
I found these tips on the MyCheats site very useful, so I'm reproducing
them here for your knowledge:
1. General Tips
````````````````
Watch your ammo: Crysis makes you manage your ammo more than most FPS in
recent memory. Unless you really have to, or know that there is plenty of
ammo around, fire in short controlled bursts -- we set our guns to single
shot mode in order to pace ourselves.
Pick up ammo: You can't just walk over guns to pick up the ammo in this
game -- you gotta work for it. Make sure that you pick up any weapons or
ammo boxes you see.
Always carry a rocket launcher: Helicopters will become the bane of any
Crysis player's existence. Luckily, they can be dispatched by two rockets.
If you are ever carrying a rocket launcher with only one shot, and see the
chance to pick up a fresh one, just use up the old one on a random building.
Carry a full rocket launcher whenever possible and do not use them on
infantry.
Watch your radar: The radar shows the enemies who have seen you, or you
have seen them. All potential targets are indicated by a V on your radar.
The different color Vs mean:
Blue: Friendly
Yellow: Enemy who has not figured out where you are, or does not know
you exist.
Red: Enemy is aware of the threat and is moving out aggressively.
Using your radar, you can keep track of enemy movement around you.
Use your binoculars: If you use your binoculars to look ahead, you can
spot enemies and make them appear on your map.
Watch your threat meter: Players will notice that there is a bar on
bottom left of the screen; that bar is your threat meter. The bar rises
whenever the enemy is aware of your position.
Flares are bad: If you see the enemy shoot a flare into the air, you can
be certain that more enemies are inbound. Every time we saw a flare get
popped, vehicles and personnel showed up.
Buildings are not invincible: Experienced FPS player may believe that
retreating to a building will make you safe. Such is not the case with
Crysis. In Crysis, shanty buildings -- the ones that take up most of the
structures on the island -- can be blown up. If the building comes down
around you, you better use your strength to push the debris out of the way.
Cars are the new tanks: Crysis may only have one mission where you use
a tank, but that doesn't mean that vehicles aren't the way to slaughter
the enemy. Cars, and more importantly, cars with machineguns, are
almost always readily available. Use the extra protection and firepower
that a car provides to clear villages and to escape from bad situations.
2. Cheat Codes
```````````````
From GameFAQs.
==========
Game Mods
==========
The codes can be entered in the console or in a user-created
System.cfg file. The console must be unlocked by using
"con_restricted = 0" before any of the cheats can be used in the console.
Press the tilde (~) key to access the console.
time_scale = 1 (any number)
Affects the rate at which time passes in the game.
g_suitSpeedEnergyConsumption = 110 (any number)
Amount of energy consumed in speed mode while sprinting.
v_goliathmode = [0, 1]
Disables or enables infinite health for all vehicles in the game.
g_meleeWhileSprinting = [0, 1]
Disables or enables melee attacks while sprinting.
pl_fallDamage_SpeedFatal = 13.7 (any number)
Fall speed in meters/second at which you die.
pl_swimBaseSpeed = 4 (any number)
How fast you can swim.
g_suitarmorhealthvalue = 200 (any number)
How much damage armor mode energy shields can take.
pl_swimJumpSpeedBaseMul = 1 (any number)
How quickly you jump out of the water.
pl_fallDamage_SpeedSafe = 8 (any number)
Maximum speed in meters/second at which you take no damage.
g_suitSpeedMult = 1.85 (any number)
Movement speed in speed mode is multiplied by this number.
g_suitCloakEnergyDrainAdjuster = 1 (any number)
Multiplies energy consumption of cloaking by this number.
g_suitRecoilEnergyCost = 15 (any number)
Multiplies energy consumption of each shot fired in strength mode.
cl_strengthscale = 1 (any number)
Multiplies punch strength by this factor.
g_walkmultiplier = 1 (any number, but if too high, you can't move)
Multiply player movement speed by this factor.
=========
God Mode
=========
Locate the difficulty files in your Crysis installation folder
(ie: C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsCrytekCrysisGameConfig).
These files are called diff_easy.cfg, diff_normal.cfg, diff_hard.cfg
and diff_bauer.cfg. Open the file (with Notepad) that corresponds to
the difficulty level you are playing. Add the following line to the
end of the file and save it:
g_godMode = 1
Now, when playing your health will still decrease but you will not die.
Instead, your health and armor will automatically replenish when your
health reaches 0.
Additional Cheats
Using the same method as above, add the following lines to the end of
your config file for the corresponding effect:
Code: Result:
i_unlimitedammo = 1 Unlimited Ammo
ai_IgnorePlayer = 1 Enemies Ignore You
i_noweaponlimit = 1 Carry Unlimited Number of Weapons
NOTE: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE OVERWRITING GAME FILES.

Edwin asks:
I've got a problem in playing Crysis, especially in the Recovery chapter.
After I encountered the 2 KPA tanks, according to you and several other
guides that I've found, there should be a new objective soon after both tanks
destroyed.
But in my case, after I destroyed them and received a note:
'destroy both KPA tanks..completed', then NO further objectives show up....
I've already repeated this part 4-5 times and it just stucks like that,
no one calls me, congrats me, or gives me any further objectives.
At first I thought that I should slay all remaining enemies in the area,
and I did it. but hell.. no difference.
Did I do something wrong or this is a bug in the game..? and what should I do..?
-------------
My answer:
This is probably a bug. Try replaying the chapter. This should solve the
problem. Or, you could continue on playing the game as described in the
guide and maybe you would be able to proceed as usual.
Extreme measure: create a new profile and replay the game.
Last resort: Reinstall the game after doing a full, clean uninstall.
One of these should solve the problem for you.

Ivan Vlajic asks:
Part 11.3 Last Stand
RECKONING
In these part.......I just cannot destroy the gratest ship
When Helena destroy the first shield on the left, then i can lock on with the
tac gun and destroy left side of the ship.........
but when she destroy the other shild on the right side,then i cannot lock on
and cannot shot.......WHY!!!!!!!please help!!!!!!!
-------------
My answer:
This is a pretty common bug it seems. I also had a problem where I could not
lock on to the first cannon. After loading the save before the alien
warship emerged from the ocean and fought it again, the problem solved
itself. Somehow.

Richard asks:
While editing the difficulty config files, I began to wonder; is there a way
to make the enemies speak Korean instead of English? The enemy combat talk
is fairly cool, though I found it almost silly that they spoke English to
each other in all but the most difficult settings.
Is it possible to change it?
-------------
My answer:
Sorry, I made a mistake with my previous answer.
The correct solution is:
find this line in the config file you want to change.
ai_UseAlternativeReadability = 1
Change 1 to 0 and the enemies will speak Korean in other modes.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES YOU ARE MODIFYING.

Serena Hillin asks:
I was just wondering about Crysis. You know the Alien Warship in the level
Reckoning??? What happens if it never ever ever ever ever ever ever lets
you do anything because it keeps freezing you over and over and over again?
And you can never do anything because you keep dying and dying and dying.
Do you know whether its a glitch, a bug, or meant-to-happen ??????????
Cause its annoying the **** out of me!
-------------
My answer:
I'm taking a guess here, but am I right to assume that after you get
frozen you don't do anything? Just lie down there at the place you fell?
If that is the case, you should have read the guide and know that you can
break out of being frozen by mashing A and D or moving the mouse around.
If you do know how to break out of ice but keep dying, I'd say you have alot
to learn about survival in this game.
Many players have successfully completed the game. It's not a bug.

Nick Hartelt asks:
on the incursion level on your walkthrough it isnt too specific on how many
c4 there are. im loving ur guide so far but im in a bad situation. i have
destroyed 2 of the AA tanks with c4 and am at the third tank and cant find
any more c4 ammo. is the last c4 in the huge base? or is there a third c4
on a crate?
-------------
My answer:
well for one, I can't go around and count how many C4 charges there are
lying around. The Koreans usually leave them in twos or threes, so you should
be able to find some with no problem. The second triple A encampment described
in my guide actually has two or three of them lying around.
Or you can always find alternatives to blow it up. Use the red explosive
barrels, drive jeep up to it and explode the jeep, or find a good old
rocket launcher.

Dale asks:
How do you keep the helicopter in the air one the part where you have to
cover for the planes on the 3rd part of the mountian sceane past the
bridge and the Sphire is on the left? I top the trees and after a couple
of round it just seems to fall to the ground. I fly ok up to that point.
-------------
My answer:
You probably flew into a tornado. When you find yourself unable to
ascend by pressing spacebar, then you are in a tornado.
Try to steer clear of them. keep as far away from them as possible. Try
sticking closely to the cliffs. They won't damage you as much when you
hit them gently (scrape them).

Well, that brings me to the end of my Crysis guide, I hope it'll help you
get out of some sticky spots. This is the first guide I've written in a few
years. My others are:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PC)
Crash Team Racing (PS1)
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (PC)

Those games are terribly old. :)
Anyway, the final bit is my guide Credits:
Crytek, for making an excellent game that will no doubt be part of an epic
trilogy.
EA, for not releasing this game with tons of bugs.
All the sites that have offered to host this guide. Thanks! :D
