Lone Soldier Strategy Guide

General tips

Try to kill normal enemy soldiers when they are in the open.
They  will become more aggressive if trapped.

Save bazookas for bosses and bigger enemies.

Extra health power ups can be left behind whilst you deal with
a tricky situation ahead, then simply return for them when the
coast is clear. Do not  get too far ahead.

Learn to use the sight and rotate keys for accurate aiming and
killing.

The flame-thrower is better for close up attacks, but only use
very short bursts at a time to conserve your fuel.

Attack all pillboxes from the side.

The bazooka is better for long distance attacks. Avoid firing
it at point blank range.  It can be extremely damaging for your
person.

Shooting trees can cause a fire witch kills any enemies using
them as cover.

Use barrels as weapons, shoot them and they will kill any nearby
enemies when they explode.

When trying to kill bazooka-armed foes, time the missiles and
dodge them, enabling you a change to counter attack between each
one.


The Jungle

General tips for surviving in the jungle

Tribal statues always get brighter before they fire. Attack
them from a distance to avoid their deadly wrath.
When attacking the natives, particularly the chiefs, always
keep moving and they will never be able to hit you
The watch towers can be quite helpful.  Try to lead the enemies
into the path of the grenades.


Level 1

As the game starts, you are ambushed by soldiers cunningly
concealed behind trees. Study their positions and the, whilst
keeping you distance, pick them off one by one. When you come
to the steep hill with the gun tower situated at the bottom, grab
the rocket launcher from behind one of the trees and destroy the
tower from a distance. The rest of the level should be plain sailing
thanks to your trusty rocket launcher.

Level 2

You start this level on the river bank. Use your grenades
to destroy the river boats. You will have to time it so that you
throw the grenade into the water and then allow a few seconds
for the boat to sail over it. As you walk towards the bridge,
there will be a rocket launcher geezer firing off endless reams
of rockets in your direction.  Get close and then counter attack
after dodging each missile. Once safely over the footbridge, you
will come to an enemy encampment. First, shoot the soldier next
to the water tank, and then turn to take out the pillbox. Now
stand a safe distance away from the watch tower and then wait
as the enemy soldiers start walking towards you. With any luck
the grenades lobbed from the tower by their mates should take
them all out efficiently. Now, simply blast the tower. Around
the next bend will be a boat loaded with enemy troops and several
foot soldiers, all of which can be easily disposed.

Level 3

Things are heating up. First there is an ambush by concealed
troops, then you have got a watch tower to contend with. Once
you crossed over the bridge, take out the boat full of troops
and then do untold amounts of damage to the enemy encampment just
around the corner. There will be a rocket launcher bloke, if you
get into trouble whilst tackling him, seek refuge behind the pillbox
and then attack blast him at regular intervals. Once the camp
has been destroyed, dash over the bridge and kill the remaining
few soldiers to complete this level.

Level 4

As we near the end of the jungle territory, the natives are
restless.  As a result of your extremely loud gunfire disturbing
their strange gods, they have decided to come out and fight in
their droves. This level starts in a familiar fashion with foot
soldiers ambushing you from all angles. When you reach the natives,
keep on the move to avoid spears and poisonous darts, you will
find them extremely hard to kill because they are constantly on
the move. When you meet the natives, each and every statue from
then on will possess demonic qualities, and thus try to steal
your worthless soul. A couple of rockets or a succession of shots
will exorcise them effectively. For extra kicks, why not torch
a few native huts, it's great fun and hey, it serves them right
for becoming involved.

Jungle Boss

The final jungle level starts out as any other, until you
notice some mystic native dude scooped inside a cave. When you
stumble into view, he will wave his mighty staff around and an
army of native zombies will shoot up through the ground. Pick
them off as they arrive and brace yourself for the grand finale.
A bit peeved that all his henchman have been vaporized, the mystic
witch doctor will then transform himself into a huge werewolf.
 Then, he will proceed to either get working with his club or
fry you to dead with his stagnant breath. If you have any rockets
left, he can be easily picked off from a distance. Otherwise,
get very close, preferably behind his legs, then simply blast
away with your guns. He will not be able to touch you at such
proximity, leaving you safe to kill the hairy oaf.


The Canyon

General tips for conquering the canyon

Mortal men can be easily defeated if you get close quickly.
The gas grenade soldier fires deadly poison gas, run past
the grenades before they explode.
The dogs are hard to kill, the best way we found of making
them scarper is to stand still and shoot at them as they chew
away at your balls.


Level 1

Out of the jungle and out into the open as you wreak havoc
through a picturesque canyon. Start the level as you mean to go
on by pepping the foot soldiers with bullets. As you walk over
the hill,  grab the bazooka and reduce the watch tower to rubble.
The next hazard is a tank that can easily destroyed provided you
have save a couple of rockets, otherwise get close and avoid the
gun turret. As you go through the tunnel, prepare yourself for
two soldiers that drop down from the other side on a rope. Another
tank will attempt to get you as you emerge from the tunnel so
be more than ready to rock. Just around the next bend, you will
come to a log resting across a ravine. Kill the rocket man and
then wait on the log. In the distance you should see two oil drums
with soldiers coming up behind them. Simply fire off two rockets
at the barrels and let the explosions take care of 'em. Up around
the next hill is an enemy encampment complete with tank and watch
tower. Obviously the tank takes priority in the killing stakes,
so get to work. Take the right side and then pick off the rocket
man and the dangerous mortar launcher as you emerge the other
side.

Level 2

When you begin the level, pick off the two foot soldiers that
come towards you and grab the flame-thrower behind them. Now use
your new weapon to attack the mortar operator. As you progress
through the level, you will come to a big ravine with paths stretching
off both sides, take the left route and then grab the invincibility
crate as it falls from the sky. This gives you the added strength
to overcome the tank easily. Now grab the bazooka lying around
at the entrance to the next section. As you go around the bend,
beware of the cunningly disguised minefield. Kill the lone foot
soldier and then use your bazooka to take out the opposing rocket
man on the rope bridge. Walk up to his peppered corpse and wait.
 In the distance at the other end of the bridge, more soldiers
should come into view. You have got the rockets, so do your stuff.
As you walk to the end of the bridge, look skyward for the huge
helicopter flying overhead.  It will perform a fancy turn and
then fire a couple of deadly missiles in your direction. Evasive
action is vital, in other words, leg it!. Now simply dash to the
end of the level taking out the remaining soldiers. Just before
the exit, you will come across two grenade-lobbing scum bags on
the railway, take them out with a grenade or your Uzi, either
way they are a pushover.

Level 3

This level is the ideal opportunity for a mass killing spree.
There is nothing mush to overcome other than legions of foot soldiers
so the key is to go slowly and pick each one off as they appear
in the distance. Once you have bagged the first lot, grab the
idle M-60 rifle and get shooting. At the top of the next hill
is a rocket launcher. Use your heavy arsenal to take out the onslaught
of enemy troops as they attack in full force over the next series
of hills. Eventually you will come to another enemy encampment.
Hit the tents first, followed by the truck, for the maximum effect
and hopefully you will bag a few baddies in the explosions. The
last hazard is a tank. It can easily be destroyed by using the
same techniques as before. Get close and avoid his sights.

Canyon Boss

Before you can exit the canyon, there are several last obstacles
that must be overcome. Firstly, take out the foot soldiers that
hassle you at the start, followed by the devious rocket men. You
should see an enemy  encampment in the distance by now. Blast
everything in sight and then turn your attentions to the pillboxes.
The last hazard on this level is the vile scum that emerges from
the hovering helicopter. Take out the first two rocket launcher
men as you would normally. Then, when the big mean dude drops
down, hide behind the pillboxes and observe his routine. You will
find that the safest way to hit him is when he is mouthing off
at you. Simply fire short controlled bursts whenever he is giving
it some lip, and before you know it the stupid sod will collapse
and die a horribly grizzly death.
