Perfect Dark N64 - Carrington Institute: Defense - Perfect Agent 

You can watch my new PD playthrough on real hardware (UltraHDMI) if you prefer it over emulated here - ru-vid.com/group/PL-zOWmGvo0G-ym-0wD69LYCn_GNrWNReY

"I'll have to go carefully. The hostages are counting on me." *Kills one of them*

I've never been more angry at a video game than I am trying to complete this level.

In my Perfect Agent playthrough, Jonathan reappeared during this mission to stand guard at the door to the 4th objective. Found out later that the route you choose during the escape from Area-51 affects whether he survives and appears here.

This level is kicking my ass, as if the shields wasn't enough they all have K7 Avengers too

Finally finished it, it wasn't easy. Gotta say a lot of the situations were randomly generated, esp with the hostages :/

Perfect agent: *Kills hostage*

I always thought it was super cool that Grimshaw and his tech actually try to defend themselves against the Skedar assault, and the training sim tech did the clone thing. I don't think N64 games had that much personality for these side NPCs but man, PD was chock full of it.

I struggled the most with this level on PA. I found that if you don't shoot the first alien around the corner, and instead immediately head down to turn the gun turrets on, you run into less men in the bottom floor. As far as getting the devestator goes, it's left in the top floor room closest to the middle elevator. It was left by one of the hostages 100% of the time when I went to that room first to release the hostages after completing mission 1. Didn't matter if I saved one or both hostages in that room. For a good first shot on the top floor hostage takers, put yourself into the corner furthest away from the door, but still directly in front of it. If your going into the middle room, aim slightly to the left of the door smudge in front of you. I know "smudge" is a tough descriptor, but that's the best I can describe it. Open the door and there should be a hostage taker directly in your line of sight. Same thing with the other upstairs room except aim slightly to the right of the door smudge. Hope this helps someone!

I absolutely love replaying this level. Once you get the strategy down right, it’s a great combo of fun shooting and a challenging level

I like the fast paced sounding song that plays at the end

I thought something was off with Joanna's clothes, glad I read the description before commenting. lol

How come in special agent there is more enemies looking for you that in Perfect Agent? (Im talking about N64) I literally was getting followed 24/7 by guards ( I killed so many of them )

Me gusta la RC-P120. es de las mejores armas automáticas. no lo digo solo por su segundo modo. sino que es un arma muy precisa y tiene muchas balas en un cartucho.

lol why did you shoot the shooting range hostage?

"the hostages are counting on me" Johana kills the first hostage that her sees lol

Man, I've tried this stage literally 100s of times and could never pass it. I've never tried running and gunning like you though. Also, I believe there are some enemy spawn points you can destroy which I've never tried doing.

It so much easier to get the Devastator to destroy Carrington's files as it takes one shot. You get the Devastator for running to the upstairs hostages and saving all four. If done correctly, a hostage will drop it in the room closest to Carrington's office so all you have to switch on the fly and use the alternate fire where it sticks to the wall.

I never liked this level in PA without using cheats. Not too bad on SA, but this jumps it up. Second hardest level to me on legit gameplay, behind Attack Ship. Those enemies always having shields with K7 Avengers, possible double damage, and infinite spawn points makes it quite frustrating, especially when disabling the bomb, and the fact the defense from good guards isn't great anyway. It didn't took me that many tries, but it is difficult if not careful. Very fun on A when using the RC-P45 (RC-P90). The Hit and Run or Alien buddies are handy here. Hotshots, can't always guarentee it.

Playing PD on real N64 hardware is harder than emulation. It is *not* the same experience. Once you start tinkering with frame rates, controls, etc. it makes it marginally different.

Blake I agree and who ever did the music for this game did a great job

AR34 ❤ Bad that Perfect Dark no Akimbo Style with rifle have 2 AR34 3:50 The lift of dead 😂❤

Some parts of the music here sound something like the Cradle mission from Goldeneye 007. (That part of the mission always rubs me the wrong way for some reason)

You had to saved these innocent hoststages from the gurads at all costs graslu00.

:( RARE Hope Remake Reboot have this Mission with this Track 😭❤ 1:46 Camera Move ❤

I have to say, I love your play style, similiar to mine also :) If you don't mind me asking, would you send me a link to you 60FPS emulator? Most of the links on it are dead.

I always got such an eerie vibe at 5:03

How come no one is shooting at her. In my play through they keep coming and coming

I honestly wish this game had a campaign 3x longer than it is. There were SO many cool weapons in this game but the overwhelming majority of them you see and use for all of 5 minutes(If even that) and then you never see them again. The RCP120 is a good example. You never see it in another level of the game.

When I first completed that level, it was a scary conclusion, obviously to finish the game storyline with the Skedar. But that's not the only thing, Bionicle used to think it was going to reach a happy ending with 2008 but that too reached a scary conclusion with the Glatorian to finish all of it.

ya porfin la pase ^w^

Joder está misión si era difícil en perfect agent, y tu la haces ver tan fácil

3:34 lol you killed Jonathon

Just completed this on perfect agent after about 50? 60? 70 tries, who knows. All's I know is that this level is bullshit. So much variability with enemies, RNG screwing me so many times. Everyone has shields and they'll kill you in a split second with their K7 Avnegers. Good luck to all who try this monstrosity!

Finally completed this mission for the very first time. So many random things can occur form enemy spawns to which CI guards will help out etc. Could never do this on the N64 but tried again this many years later and finally prevailed.

Graslu00 you finally did it again my friend!

Damn. I remember trying to speedrun this game with a worn out joystick back then. It definitely wasn't easy. I was never able to get this one because I couldn't run at full speed. Still probably the most enjoyable level in the entire game.

Robin Williams and Winona Rider.

tnx so much i AM doing in rare replay It help a lot André is awesome speed run

In my opinion the best game on N64 and a good contender for best game ever, loved it back then and still do, I could never do this mission at perfect agent

Tough mission but very rewarding when you pull it off.

What I enjoyed so much with this game, was that when I shot something, they died. No HP bullshit, you shoot them, they die.

Lol it’s funny how the soundtrack is so similar to goldeneye

one of the most frustrated levels its skedar ruins arrrggh

3:21 get to the office and destroy all those special videos and pictures Carrington has

Dude I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. I'm playing on XB360 so it's tough to strafe but when I actually go fast enough to get all the auto guns back online before being encountered, I get to the first hostage and he is killed every time before I can even get in the room. Any tips you can give me on saving the hostages?

i still play this on my original n64 and it doesnt look this sharp are you using an HDMI?

This was one of my favourite levels :)

My runs, even with emulators have been a real pain in the ass, enemies respawn meters from me, the AR33 don't do shit to them, and there are always a full fireteam waiting for me in the elevator, curiously out of sight from the second floor. Great run Grasslu, I like how you played catch with the guys around the ship, but the run was pretty much very lucky, with not so many enemies in the hallways. The only way I could pass this level was forcefully reducing the framerate of the emulator from 60 to 20, giving me some valuable seconds to react, but I'm working on an strategy to do it right. Currently I don't have a N64, not even one of those knockoffs that run original cartridges, but I want the satisfaction of finishing this SOB game for the first time in my life.

This was such a struggle

get clear i will hold em up .. 2 sec later , they trouw a box on her and she is done XD

The bombs not there...

3:43 you realize that you can use the devastator to destroy the safe

It is Depressing how much faster you run on N64 compared to XBLA...

What's the theme that plays at the end? It's not the normal mission complete one

I'd like a link for that dress mod.

i gotta be carefull with the hostages they are counting on me... shoot the first hostage XD

Yep

well played

you move fast af

This is the first level Skedars make an appearance.

Shocked that so many people had trouble with/hated this level. It was relatively easy and fun for me.

Nice

I wonder... how are you supposed to figure out what to do.

how do you sprint?

theres no way this was done on N64

I hate this level. It’s brutal.

You made that look easy

Can we take a moment to talk about how this game has more content than the perfect dark for next gen consoles???

Finally got it. :)

Damn saving the hostage are very difficult

Loved playing the battle mode often past 12AM on weeknights and weekends with friends. Found a cheat on how to raise my ranking, but kept getting the "Most Dishonorable" tag for doing so.

why use the AR34 instead of the K7 Avenger? K7 Avenger has better damage and RoF, it does have smaller clip size though

Ja ja ja .. los vídeos estas por partes ..monse ..

I wish there was a way to watch how we used to play on n64. All these computer Jimmy rigged ways of playing the game kill the thrill. This was hard back then. I still did watch this for the memory.
