Killzone 2 - Problem progressing past Visari Palace prt 4

iggy

Hi

Anybody else having problems getting past Visari palace part 4. Im at the part where the sides gates open and I go up to 2nd floor balcony..

I must have tried a hundred times but I always get killed..

I have to finish this game:mad:

This isn't meant to be a flippant answer, but you just have to kill everybody. I don't think there's any real stategy involved (this is Killzone after all), but if it helps...

When I got up to the balcony & dealt with the flamethrower dudes I used the 'nade launcher to deal with baddies on the main floor.
When they were dead and while more were spawning, I got a sneaky sniper shot at the main guy standing at the very far side of the room, I don't know if this helps but I think getting a shot at him might trigger the last few waves of bad guys (although I could have completely imagined this).
Then either switched back to the launcher if none of them made it up to the balcony while I was sniping; or used a MG, assault rifle or a few slaps if any had managed to get in close.

I don't think you have to kill everyone to keep moving forward. I tried that tactic and they just kept on spawning so then I changed tactics and just shot at anyone in my way and pushed forward leaving my squad to take care of guys on my flanks. I think you have to keep moving forward to finish the level as staying in one place will give you a good shooting match but you won't move onto the

final boss battle with Radec

.

BTW, don't be in such a hurry to finish the game as its the best shooter I've played since COD4 and finishing it was a major anti climax for me as I now have to go back to playing 2nd rate games at best:(

It takes quite a while to clear the enemies from this one, several waves emerge and the way I did it was occupy the far end, away from the baracades on the balcony, then use the sniper rifle to nail the guys as they hide below you and as they move about at the far end.
Get the guys with the RPG fellas first, watch the smoke trail of their missiles to find them, also get handy with the pistol as a number of troops may get past the sniper fire from Ricos side.
Speaking of Rico, keep him alive, reviving him when he falls, as he gives them someone else to shoot at and does kill a couple himself.

After that it's just persistance, then onto Radec, a crappy bullet sponge of a boss, just keep moving and filling him with lead, initially theshotgun is great before shifting to automatic weapons, just keep plugging away, he handily announced his decloaking by a crackly sound and visual effect, nice of him.

Thanks for all replies...
Im going to give it another go later and to try these tactics...

I used youtube for a bit of help. Very sad, but it was that or a mental breakdown. (and that is only on veteran)

Once you get upstairs and kill the two flamer lads concentrate on killing all the guys on the floor. Use whatever gun you're most comfortable with. There's two ways to do this. Use the cover at the end with the gun racks and pop out for head shots, or run from side to side of the balcony to get them from the sides.

When you get the last one you'll hear doors opening. This is the next wave. They initially bunch up near the statue in the middle so a 'nade or two can help. In this wave, one or more will come up the stairs to flank you on both sides. These were the lads that were killing me. The tip that helped me was the knife. I hadn't used it before but looking at the video on youtube, yer man just ran at them spamming the knife and its a one hit kill. Once those guys on the balcony are gone concentrate on the guys on the ground as before.

Again you'll hear doors opening and get another wave. In this wave two or three of those speedy fcuckers come up the stairs to flank you. Run at full tilt from side to side knifing them all, then concentrate on the guys on the floor again.

You'll hear the doors again and this is the last wave, including the RPG dudes. By now a path has been cleared right over to the other side of the room on the RIGHT HAND side of the balcony. I just ran up and knifed all the RPG lads and ran back to mop up the rest.

Then you have the incredibly annoying one on one with the man himself.

Took a few goes on vet but elite is rock hard.

Kill the flame thrower guy,grab the nade launcher and shoot at the openings downstairs that let anyone up to the balcony.Try keep your co op guy alive (god damn they are annoying when they die) once the first wave drops - grab the sniper and shoot the rocket launched helghast,once there down you can just cover and shoot the remaining few. its a solid strategy.

DId you get this finished.. Got it finished last night.

When you kill the flame thrower guy upstairs, go down the stairs on the right hands side of the balcony and shoot through the bars. Kepp doing this and watch out for explosives being throwen.

Was an absolute bugger of a level. I think I got killed 55 times on the whole level, and I'd say 90% were there.

I gave up on radec after numerous deaths. I could hold him off but then I would run out of ammo and he would get me. The ends of Resistance 2 and Fear 2 on the other hand were no challenge.

If I can do it, you can, unless you play with your feet!!:D

You need to move constantly, start with the shotty and reload in the dark at the far end of the hall when you get the chance. Every time you hear the noise of him rematerialising turn around - he'll be behind you. Keep at him until he goes upstairs then follow him up and finish him off.

Well worth it, I promise.

A little tip on Radec. Jack up to the look sensitivity in the control options so you can turn around faster

I have found getting used to the PS3 controller is taking me quite some time.. Being stupit I keep forgetting which button is which, but that is because I am also playing COD4.

After the 100th attempt i finally completed this part of the game

padair

What level were yous playing the game at....?

liverpo

I'm playing on Veteran mode, can't get past the part where the side gates open, get past the first few waves of Jabronies, then the RPG's come out, but its the last few guys coming up the stairs always get me. Might just try it on normal mode just to get past and then go for it on Elite.

liverpo

anyone finish this on Elite?

ongarite

No yet, have played the entire game without dying once for that trophy though.

I cant get past the Rpg troops in this one! Im alright till they show up,but once they come into it Im gone soon after! I must've tried this about 30 times now and it always the same! Anyone got tips on how to get the rpg guys? Or any effective cover from them? Cause no matter where i seek cover they get me.:mad:

I seem to remember using the cover on the left side of the room. That is, when you are facing them, there is a section on the left I hid in behind. Poked out every few seconds and knocked their heads off. Cleared it on Medium a few days ago, so gonna try and get some campaign trophies, and maybe get started on Elite.

Change the controls to Alternate 2, they're identical to COD4 more or less!

Also, have it done on Veteran, then easy to get the untouchable trophy, now I'm a third of the way through the game on Elite, i'm dreading this part though!
