complete the game to unlock all but two of the game's movies. The
final two movies are unlocked when the game is successfully completed
under the hard difficulty setting.
The first bonus movie is unlocked after Mission 5 (McKenzie Airbase
Exterior) under the hard difficulty setting. Lian will say "Got it"
as she is flying away in the helicopter to confirm the secret. The
movie is called "Before and After I" and is on disc 1. It has some
behind-the-scenes footage of an early rendition of Gabe. It contains
CG footage of Gabe running through the missile silo from the first
Syphon Filter. Gabe does not look very detailed and the silo looks
completely different. Then the movie transitions to the finished
version we saw in the game, with Gabe confronting Markinson.
Agency Computer Lab multi-player stage:
In the second room at the start of the Agency Bio-Lab Escape level,
(after receiving the incoming radio traffic) are two vents that you
can crawl through. The one on the left is the correct exit out of
the Bio-Lab. The other vent leads back the way you came toward the
Operating Room where you overheard Dr. Weissinger in the previous
level. Head down this second vent back the way that you came from.
When you exit the vent, there will be one Unit 1 trooper on the
left in an alcove. Run past him down the U-shaped hallway which
leads to the Operating Room. You should be able to see the autopsy
table through the door. There are three more armored troopers in
the operating theater -- one low by the door and two on either
side up in the theater seats. Roll into the room past the low
trooper. If this is not done, when you get near the door he will
run in front of it to block your path. Run immediately toward the
table with the computer. Climb up on to the table, and then up
onto the balcony (you will probably get shot up pretty bad while
climbing up). Then, roll toward the center of the back wall and
into a small room. There is an M-79 grenade launcher in this
little room which unlocks the Agency Computer Lab map. Gabe will
say "Got it" to confirm that it has been collected. You do not
have to finish the level for the map to be unlocked.
Bunker multi-player stage:
Find the PK-102 in the Moscow Streets level. There is a point
where two cars will try to run you over at the same time, and
you have to leap and grab a pole above you to avoid them. After
this happens, drop down, and go back and search the two newly
crashed cars. Face the tail ends of the cars. The car on the
right has the PK-102 inside. Warning: The cars are on fire, so
search carefully. Also, after they crash an enemy will get out
of each car. At least one of them has a M-79 grenade launcher.
Caves multi-player stage:
Find the binoculars in the Colorado Interstate 70 level you
must find the Binoculars. They are located behind the first
closed door on your left that you reach. Press Triangle to open
the door. This reveals a passage. Go left, open another door,
and enter the room. The box containing the binoculars is in
this room.
D.C. City Park multi-player stage:
Find the dirty laundry in the New York City Slums District level
in one of the washing machines in the first Sniper Building of
the level. This is the building that is similar to the slums
district level in multi-player mode.
Disco Underground multi-player stage:
In the Disco 32 level, after killing the bodyguard on the
catwalk, three more guards will run in the door. Kill all three
before they can throw a grenade at you. None of them have flak
jackets. When you kick open the doors to the next dance floor
with big speakers in the corners, you will need to kill these
three guards before the guard above you can throw a grenade.
Save your BIZ-2 ammo for him, run to the right, and hide behind
the speaker. Kill the two guards on the floor. As the guard
above you runs around so he can throw a grenade, use the BIZ-2
for a head shot. He does have a flak jacket.
Jungle multi-player stage:
Kill Archer at the very end of the C-130 Crash Site level with
one shot (head shot). It is recommended that you use the
silenced sniper rifle to kill him because of its zooming
capabilities.
Pharcon Site multi-player stage:
Find the girlie mag in the Pharcon Lab, after you taze the guards.
It is located after you go through the Mars exhibit.
Prison multi-player stage:
Complete the Aljir prison break in without using the crossbow. You
will have to sneak and roll up to the first man before he makes it
out in the open. Roll a lot, but do not roll into him. You also
cannot run or he will turn around. You should be able to run up
very close to the male guard and the female guard who chased down
the second prisoner. The last guard turns and looks around quite a
bit. Walk against the left wall, and hide behind the support. He
will walk out past you, and then you can get him.
Rockies multi-player stage:
Find the H11 sniper rifle on the first level (Colorado Rockies).
The H11 is near the waterfall and ice arch where you first meet
Chance. Instead of jumping over the waterfall chasm, hang from the
edge of the chasm and drop down into the tunnel. The H11 is in
there.
Surreal multi-player stage:
In Volkov Park, kill the first guard to the left very quickly
before he destroys the car. After you kill him, collect the BIZ-2
in the car he did not destroy.
Additional multi-player characters:
Find the M-79 grenade launcher on the second to last level (New
York Sewers) to unlock the following seven multi-player
characters: Ninja Gabe, Scuba Lian, Unit 1 (armored trooper from
the Bio-Lab Escape level), Dr. Elsa Weissinger, Uri Gregorov,
Lawrence Mujari, and SWAT officer (helped in the New York Slums
level). The M-79 is near the end of the level (in the parking
garage). Near the top of the stairs is an open doorway into the
parking garage, where a black van is driving past. Instead of
exiting the stairwell at that location, keep climbing up the
stairs. There will be five Agency operatives scattered on the
landings above armed with silenced HK-5s, grenades, and M-79s.
Use the M-79 to clear them out. The M-79 is on the top landing.
Complete the C-130 Crash Site level under three minutes to unlock
the characters from the original Syphon Filter game in
multi-player mode.
Defeating Uri Gregorov:
If Gregorov sees you, he will kill you with a head shot. Remember
what Gabe Logon said earlier in the game, "What they can't see,
they can't hit." The strategy here is simple: Kill the lights.
Sneak after Uri as he walks around to find you and at the same
time observe the environment and what you have to work with.
Note the statue of the man on a horse, and the lights
surrounding the statue. You will have to shoot these lights
using any silenced weapon. Allow Lian to die and you can get a
fresh start. At your starting point, sneak after Uri and stop at
the center of the far fence (to the left of the statue). Hold X
and have your weapon manually aimed at the far light to your
right. Pay attention to the radar. When Gregorov's dot disappears
from the radar, count to about five to ten seconds and shoot the
light. Now, run over to the statue and hide from Gregorov. He
will come over to investigate. He knows that you are near and
will crouch-walk around the statue. Avoid being seen and shoot
out the rest of lights, pausing about ten to twenty seconds in
between to observe Gregorov's movements. Once all the lights have
been shot out you will hear him say "Damn you!" You can now walk
up and zap him with your taser. Watch for the surprise after he
is defeated.
Defeating Chance:
To defeat Chance, the final Boss in Mission 20 (Finale), watch the
opening FMV sequence that plays at the beginning of this level, as
it provides some hints. As soon as the level begins, turn right
and run out the second door. Run to the helicopter and take the
flak jacket and UAS-12 auto-shotgun. It is probably a good idea to
run behind the helicopter to stay out of the line of fire and take
the flak jacket first. Dodge around while doing this, roll under
the helicopter, and do whatever is necessary to keep the
helicopter between you and him so he cannot get a clear shot. Keep
checking your radar to watch his location. Once you have gotten
both items, switch to the UAS-12 and run around the helicopter.
Keep running around and dodge him until he is down by the tail and
you are standing near the cockpit. When that happens, face the
helicopter, then run out into the open to your left (which is the
right side of the Blackhawk). Wait for him to get on to your side
of the helicopter. Then maneuver so that there is a direct line
between you, him, and the tail rotor of the UH-60. Shoot him with
the UAS-12. He will not be able to fire back while you are hitting
him, and the impact of the shotgun blasts will carry him into the
rotor.
