    Back Into the Fight: Flamethrower Man

    After changing to Disc 2, grab the assault rifle ammo in the infirmary and head for Car 12. Cars 7 through 9 all have a fresh wave of terrorists — clear each one and collect what they drop. Save again once you reach Car 9; a boss fight is coming.

    Watch for the land mines scattered on the floor here: running into one and immediately quick-turning away is the fastest, safest way to clear them. At the back of the car, climb the ladder to the roof.

    An FMV introduces the next boss — a guard attacks first, so deal with him and grab his first aid kit before continuing up to the roof proper. Fight through the terrorists there (there's another train running alongside the Blue Harvest — remember it) and head for where the boss is waiting.

    Flamethrower Man

    Difficulty

    He isn't too tanky once you get the train-switching rhythm down.

    Attacks
    • Floor-sweeping flame attack
    • Straight flame-thrower shot when standing still
    Strategy
    • Jump onto the adjacent train to dodge the flame sweep — there is no other way to survive it.
    • He always follows you to whichever train you're on, so keep switching between them after every attack.
    • Take a shot whenever you have a clean angle, then reposition.

    He drops a Microfilm that becomes "Microfilm B" in your item menu.

    Boris Zugoski

    Head back down into Car 11 the way you first entered the train. The kitchen has a terrorist worth killing for assault rifle ammo, and if you remembered to turn the freezer off earlier, there's a spare handgun clip waiting inside it.

    Control room, second floor of Car 12

    Save before heading up to Car 12's second floor and through the door on the right — it locks behind you. This is Boris Zugoski's boss room.

    An FMV plays: Boris has Billy at gunpoint and demands the IC chip and the Ambassador. When he realizes neither is with Jack, he shoots Billy and Jack finally gets his shot at Boris.

    Boris Zugoski

    Difficulty

    If you saved Billy earlier (transfusion + returned vest), he survives this scene; otherwise this is where he dies for good, and the best ending is out of reach.

    Attacks
    • Short-range grenade throws
    • Occasionally crouches to dodge your return fire
    Strategy
    • Squat and fire at him, then quick-turn and back away to dodge the grenade he throws in response.
    • Face him again, squat, fire, repeat.
    • Sometimes he barely moves from his starting spot — back up a few steps, squat, and unload.

    Check where Boris fell for his Cigarette Case (read it from your item menu for a short poem you'll need to remember much later) and a Gold Plate crest.

  1. 3

    The Hidden Disc

    Head back to Car 10's VIP room and use the Gold Plate on the panel beside the bathroom mirror — it slides aside to reveal a hidden room below.

    Required for the best ending

    Take the assault rifle ammo from the floor, check the memo on the table, and take the Disc A on the table there.
