Background -

Following Elvis's last-ditch maneuver, the three craft involved have crashed close together in the Alaskan wilderness. The whereabouts of the President are uncertain, and a cloud of ECM jamming is preventing rescuers from finding the site of the crash.

DetErest -

Here's one mess of a maze that will frustrate you until you figure out precisely where to go. The level is big, open, and much of it looks the same. It's relatively easy though, once you know exactly where you're going. There are some places that you can jump down from, but can't get back up.

  

Head forward, right from the start. If you activated the hover bike's lift before beating Air Force One, it will be waiting beside you here. From the start of the level, head forward, and around the corner, sticking to the right. You'll come to two guards with their backs turned. Try and take them out with ease.

Just past the guards, is the distress beacon. Press "B" to activate it. Objective 2: Completed. Head past the beacon, and through an opening, to find the crashed Air Force One itself. A guard stands in the distance, you can get him with your Falcon's scope.

Head up to the Air Force One, and find the briefcase on the ground, which is actually the Presidential medical scanner, and pick it up. Objective 1: Completed. Head all the way back to the distress beacon, and go straight. Just past it, use your Falcon's scope to pick off the patrolling guards in the distance. They'll run towards you, but shouldn't shoot unless you let them get really close to you.

Collect their ammo, and head along the path, taking the route to the right. That trench opens up to a big area, with many patrolling guards. You can pick off a few, and then you might feel safer to retreat, and get them as they round the corner.

Another screenshot of eliminating the guards. Head down where the guards were, and turn right. Find the narrow square opening in the wall, where a narrow walkway awaits below, and jump down.

Two guards await patrolling the tunnel at the end of the walkway. Sometimes you'll come up behind them, sometimes they'll run into you. Be prepared. At the end of the tunnel, use your K7 Avengers threat detector to find and destroy the two drone guns in the "oasis" with the trees.

Once eliminating the two drone guns, creep forward to find two guards to be killed immediately. Once the two guards are finished, throw some remote mines on the back of the wrecked Skedar ship. It often takes all three mines to destroy it.

Step well back before you detonate, as the ship will explode with a massive force. Objective 3: Completed. Once the ship is destroyed, head all the way back, through the tunnel, walkway, into the open area where the mess of guards were, and a plane tire. Find the passage on your right, that matches this screenshot.

The passage path leads to an opening, where four guards wait. They don't move until they see you up close, so use your K7's sight, and knock off the first one, and then nail the rest as they charge around the corner.

In the middle of that opening, on the ground, is a hole. Visible down the hole, is a lone man. This is the President's clone. Take aim, and be sure to kill him so he doesn't run off. Objective 4: Completed Head back, being prepared to be ambushed by Blonde Guards. In the large area again, find the tire, and head behind and right of it. Take a left in the cave, then proceed downwards.

You'll come to this fork in the road. Head downwards. The upward fork will be your escape shortly. Peek around the corner to get the attention of the hovering gun bots guarding the area. There are four of them. Shooting one will often cause another one to explode with it. I got all four by destroying only one in this attempt.

Look to the right, to find Trent Easton himself, with the president. Trent has his DY357 LX on the President. Shoot Trent to make him flee, and the President will follow you. Head back up a bit, and find the escape route, and the light of day at the end of that tunnel.

Once outside, head around the rocks, to find Elvis's ship situated in the middle of them somewhere. Once the President reaches the ship, the mission is over. Objective 5: Completed.
