    1. Follow Rico's instructions and jump on the elevator. You'll get a front-row seat to the destruction of the Rising Sun all the way up, until the elevator stops.
    2. Jump out and grab cover. Unload on the Helghast exiting a boarding vessel just ahead. Clear them and make for the elevator ahead and to the left.
    3. Ride up to the bridge and report in, then take the elevator back down. You'll be deposited on the gun deck, where you can also grab an LMG before proceeding if you want it.
    4. This big room is the gun deck, and it's crawling with Helghast. Not at first, as they are blowing holes in the hull and repelling in, but they'll become overwhelming if you let them.
    5. Head left down the perimeter hall first. This will allow you to deal with the Helghast in the center of the room without being flanked by this soldier you're about to kill.
    6. Now creep into the middle of the room from that left side hallway. You'll trigger the incursions slower this way, allowing you to kill first the guy on the left, then the two in the center, and finally the three soldiers that enter at the far end of the room. When they're all dead, follow the walkways back to that far end and a staircase.
    7. Take cover on the stairs and shoot down at the Helghast on the lower level. You'll need a few seconds to clear them out, but it's safer here than anywhere else.
    8. Killing those guys leaves you free to descend to the lower floor, where you'll start engaging your old friends, the sentry bots. They'll enter the room one at a time at a fairly constant clip.
    9. You'll have to hop down to the lower level. Do so, then take cover from the additional infantry troops and the heavy on the level below. Kill the heavy in the usual way (with the LMG it's sadly simple), then mop up the rest.
    10. With that done, you can drop down to the lowest level and go to the open door there to move forward. Take the stairs after a quick briefing and take the chair at the bottom to man the anti-aircraft gun.
    11. The display is kind enough to highlight enemy craft with red brackets. Two sets of brackets means you have a missile lock and can fire one with L1.
    12. Focus on the Helghast battleship straight ahead, and the slow-moving ships it's launching at you. Those are leech pods. You want to destroy those specifically. The ship will drop them two at a time as it moves laterally across your screen.
    13. This section isn't rocket science. Destroy the leech pods as they approach to clear the air. You'll have this group here and another group from the enemy cruiser on your left. That one gets launched after you clear the first group.
    14. Trophy Alert! Destroy all the leech pods to earn a bronze trophy. It shouldn't be difficult.
    15. Once the leech pods are gone, you'll only have Helghast fighters to contend with, which whip around the screen at a fair speed. The cruiser is also launching its own Intruders, and shooting down one of those even accidentally will automatically fail you to the beginning of this section.
    16. Just keep hammering away at the enemy fighters. You're running the gun until it's dry and all the Intruders are away. Be careful not to shoot them -- they're highlighted in blue -- and just keep firing until you're kicked out of the chair.
    17. Turn around next and link up with Natko. He'll lead you to an elevator. Hit the button and descend past lots of Helghast incursions.
    18. At the bottom, you need to go around the outside of the room to get to the door on the other side. Helghast are sporadically taking cover around the outer rim of the room, but you can almost sprint through them if you're still carrying the LMG. Clear them out and take cover as you approach the door. A couple of well placed grenades and you're ready to go.
    19. The next room places you on the upper level with Helghast below you. They don't see you right away, so just open up on them over the railing. Then drop down and keep going.
    20. Take the door and turn left to engage Helghast immediately. You can get up the stairs behind you and take the high ground on them, which is very effective. There are a few on this upper level as well, including a grenade launcher trooper, that you'll have to deal with eventually anyway.
    21. Intel! Go to the second floor of this room from this staircase. At the top, hug the right side wall to find the Intel case.
    22. Go to the other end of the room, where you'll find stairs down. Descend again to another firefight, this time with additional ISA troops and Helghast flamethrowers. Cut through and follow the hallway around.
    23. There's a few Helghast on your level here and a staircase down to a couple more below in this room, which has a big yellow floor. Fight through the top level troops and use the walkway along the left side to flank the remaining enemies on the ground. Then drop down and take the door.
    24. Go through the infirmary next. Exit by the closest door and drop down through the holes in the walkways below. You'll go through again a few decks lower to find a door. Link up with alpha squad here and proceed to the end of the mission.

  • Mission 9: Maelstra Barrens

    YouTube: Killzone 2 Walkthrough - Maelstra Barrens Pt 1 (Time: 7:01)
    1. Follow alpha down toward the crash site. Before long, you'll come across an EXO walking tank. You get to pilot it.
    2. Once inside, take the tank up the ridge to the high ground. You'll have a ways to walk before you come across any Helghast resistance. As you come out of the area where Rico finds the buggy, you'll see the first of the Helghast combing the cruiser wreckage.
    3. Hit them with a rocket (L1) or the machine guns (R1), then proceed. Up around the corner is an APC with more Helghast troops. Open fire from a safer location, behind the wreckage on the left side.
    4. Note: The EXO looks awesome, but it is not nearly as indestructible as its construction may lead you to believe. In fact, it takes only a little more damage to destroy than you take to die when you're not riding around in it. Keep that in mind as you get into firefights and make liberal use of the rockets to knock down multiple Helghast at once.
    5. Keep moving along with Rico. As you come to the next batch of troops, you'll have a pair of RPGs to deal with. Move laterally to avoid them and hit them with rockets to at least stop them from firing until you can finish them off.
    6. Next you'll enter a canyon. There are structures on either side of this first area that house troops, but the one on the right has RPG teams. Zero in on them and hit them with rockets for big explosions. You can also just plug them with machine gun fire, as just about everything around them explodes.
    7. Clear out the rest of the troops. The ISA buggy the Helghast capture at the far end of the canyon section goes down with one rocket.
    8. You'll turn left next. The whole area on the left is littered with RPG teams, so be careful of their fire. Three more will run into the center of the road to take shots at you. Put a rocket between them to scatter their bodies and fire, then finish them off.
    9. Look also for explosives all over the structures on the left where the other two or three RPGs are waiting for you.
    10. As you approach ground zero, you'll get instructions from Narville. Turn right and continue forward. You'll encounter two tanks next.
    11. The tank on the left requires three or four rockets to drop. It'll stand still and wait for you to kill it, so just avoid its rockets and you should be fine.
    12. The second tank waits way back in the middle of the area, on the bridge. A single rocket on that position should take out the bridge, destroying the tank.
    13. Move forward and link up with Narville's men. As you enter the next area, you'll face a host of Helghast and three tanks. The first is strafing you in front of those ramps just ahead. Put three rockets in it to take it out.
    14. Clear the remaining Helghast in the area and start up the ramp. Go slowly to avoid the brunt of enemy fire. You'll want to put a rocket or two into the side of the structure up ahead to clear it of RPG teams and other Helghast.
    15. Now concentrate on the tanks. They're in the low area in front of you and you'll have to climb up some more to get a clear shot. The key is to use hit-and-run tactics to inflict some damage, then back away to avoid their rockets.
    16. Hit one tank with everything you've got. If either or both take enough damage, they'll retreat along the side of the building behind them, so be aware of that. If you can push one away, you can hit the other one and get them off your back as far as taking damage.
    17. Once they're away on the sides, zero the tanks up and snipe them with rockets to finish them off. When they're destroyed, you'll get a cutscene and end the mission.
