Elite Radec *Checkpoint 2*

[Zieben]

for the love of god I can't do this. Any tips? this is by far the most enraging part of anything I have ever done.

[Vorum]

There are some good tips in the trophy guide, have you read those?

Other than that just realize that you are not likely to get it on the first attempt, or the second, or the fourteenth or...

I guess I'm just trying to say: practice (and a bit of luck) makes perfect

LOL. We've all experienced your pain. Patience is the key my son. LOL. Learn to use your knife. Really good! It may help to turn the volume down or even off, on the in-game soundtrack. There are plenty of post here in the Killzone2 Forum, search them, use them. Youtube is your friend, stop by sometime.

You can overcome Autarch's Sanctum, Patience is the key. You will die. You will become frustrated. But, you can beat Radec.

The 2nd Radec Checkpoint is by far one of the most challenging in the game.. the first being the Tank on a Train mission. But if you've gotten this far, you can definitely beat the rest of the game.

The trick that I found is to keep moving around and use the Grenade Launcher constantly to shoot the guys downstairs. When it gets to the guys that like to rush upstairs to you, pick 1 side, and camp them. Right when they come up the stairs and you can see them running towards you through the narrow pathway, spam them with 3-4 grenades. Once one side is done, focus on the other side since they rush both sides. That, I think is the hardest part about the 2nd Radec checkpoint.

i would say out of all the levels the final battle on hardest difficulty is the hardest. if i were you i would go to youtube and type killzone 2 .... and the level u need and watch the video. thats what i did.

This. When they rush at you just remember to camp a side & you should survive

I know most people say to just use the grenade launcher as soon as you get up there but I found that when using it straight away I would run out of ammo by the time the annoying bastards rushed the stairs. These steps worked for me,
1. kill people downstairs with the knife, kill as many as you can then knife the flamethrower peopleup the stairs
2. patrol the top of the stairs to kill off anyone who tries to rush you
3. stay in a corner crouching with a helghan assault rifle, moving forward slightly and picking the people on the ground floor off with Rico doing the most work (I know everyone says Rico is useless but he seems to be fine with me as long as no one is coming up the stairs)
4. after the second wave is mostly dead get yourself the grenade launcher, be ready to carpet bomb the people about to run up the one side of stairs, doing it this way I was able to take them all out apart from 2, then they were easy to pick off. Rico generally can hold the other side off just long enough for you to carpet bomb the other side as well
5. run to the left behind the barricade or you will be killed by rocket launchers, you can carpet bomb the back, because you should still have some ammo left. If not get the assualt rifle and use the same crouching moving slowly tactic as before. Watch the stairs as well because occasinally you get a grunt try to rush you
6. watch the intruder crash through the window

Most important things are to listen out for the SFX, revive Rico, and to not smash your controller off the wall when you die for the 100000000th time. Because the helghan are using AI they don't hve a set course of actions, so you get a different fight each time, you just gotta keep at it until eventually you get lucky and enough of them make enough mistakes to allow you to get through. It took me about 12 hours to complete that checkpoint, the 3rd and 4th are easy in comparison. Did 3rd on 4th or 5th try, and Radec on 1st.

i would go to youtube and type in the game,chapter,dif and watch video.
but i absolutely agree with you killzone 2 plat would have to be 1 of my hardest plats.

when you face radec alone, use the flamethrower for a while and when it runs out, get a gun with a lot of ammo and stay by the door you came in through. it should be locked and nothing on the sides, so just empty you clip when radec teleports by

Here's what I did:

1) Run right up the stairs and knife the first Helghast.
2) Run down the hall upstairs and knife the Flamer.
3) Run and pick up the Grenade Launcher.
4) Knife the last Flamer (Rico should already start shooting at him).

Once the top floor is clear...

5) Run downstairs and knife the 2-3 Helghast.
6) When they're dead, you'll see Helghast spawning near Radec. Fire off some Grenades via Launcher to kill some of them.
7) Run back up the stairs where you orginally went up and wait for Helghast. As soon as you see one, empty your weapon.
8) Run back up the stairs and refill on Grenade Launcher ammo.
9) Run down the stairs (not the one you came up on) and knife everyone left.
10) New guys will spawn, so repeat the earlier step of firing Grenades via Launcher.
11) Repeat the step where you wait at the top of the stairs.
12) Once your ammo runs low, grab the Assault Rifle and start picking them off one by one.
13) Once they're dead, grab the sniper rifle and run to the staircase that you go down, but stay up and use the debris as cover. Pick off each Rocket Launcher one-by-one (be careful of guys running up the stairs behind you).

Always use your knife, always make sure no one is around you, always keep moving. You basically want to clear the map out in a clock-wise formation.
