GoldenEye 007

This is IMO the hardest of the time restrictive achievements. A written guide would be convoluted and likely unhelpful, but I'll include one below anyway. Here is my detailed video guide with commentary:

The time is actually reasonably lenient once you know what to do. The trick is getting a good Dr. Doak spawn- he can spawn in several locations and only three are sufficient to meet the time requirement.

The gist with this level is that you A) need to be extremely fast and B) need Dr. Doak to spawn at one of the final three locations so that you don't waste a bunch of time that you don't have searching for him.

Drop into the restroom asap and exit immediately. As you go down the stairs, fire several shots at the wall and circle around to kill the guard that drops Clearance B Keycard. Shooting the wall should have caused the guards in the room with the security door console to open the door and come out. Shoot them, run in and activate the console, then get out and around through the security door. This is all easier said than done when several guards are trying to shoot you and/or getting in your way and it may seem impossible at first.

Once through the security door, get into the next hallway and shoot the three guards within. Go through two doors into the next area, head left, and shoot the guard which should cause a guard on the other side of the locked security door to open it. Go through, up the stairs, and follow the path towards Dr. Doak's potential spawn points, killing any guards that get in your way. Check for Dr. Doak in the corner and the two adjacent rooms- if he's not there, you need to start the run over. If he is, get the Door Decoder from him, use it on the door to the bottling room, then approach Trevelyan so he starts his dialogue. Throw remote mines on the five rear tanks and once Trev gets a full floor tile away, detonate, then exit to hopefully finish in less than 2:05!

And just for fun, here's the current World Record (played on N64)- 0:51!

EDIT: I've added a second video and text down below under 'Easier Strat'. It showcases another strategy for clearing the first 2 groups of enemies at the start with mines and people seem to be having a lot more luck with it looking at the recent comments.

Mission - Facility
Difficulty - 00 Agent
Time Required - 2:05

Attached underneath is a video of me completing my run which I'll use for reference.

General Tips
- Don't stop for too long - It is very easy to get surrounded and overwhelmed with the shear amount of guards in this level. You pretty much spend the whole level trying to not let them catch up.
- Exclusively use the KF7 assault rifle once you get to the 3 guards (0:37) and onwards, aiming for the upper body.
- I personally found it much easier to shoot the guards in bursts whilst firing from the hip, took me a few mins to get use to it.
- Cheats will disable achievements.

Breakdown
0:18 - Empty a whole pistol clip to get the guards to leave the room.
0:25 - Make sure you kill the 2 guards outside this room as they have a habit of blowing up the console. Also more come from the stairs so you have to be quick to hit the console also or they'll do the same...
0:35 - Switch to KF7 and exclusively use it from here, burst shots upper body. Kill only the guards I do. Startegically reloading to not leave you stood there having to take shots.
0:51 - Usually this guard opens the door sooner but just keep up against the wall like me if he's delayed.
1:08 - So this is the RNG part. Dr. Doak has the door decoder and can spawn in 7 possible loactions. 4 of which are bad and 3 are good. You want him to spawn either a) by the pillar to the back right, b) in the room to the left or c) in the room to the back left. Failing that it's a restart. Now its important not to take too long here or you'll get swarmed by 8-10 guards coming from behind you. You can filter them all with a door glitch but it'll waste a fair chunk of time. So try to follow my order exact; 2x guards in back right, grab door decoder and then 2x guards on the way to locked door.
1:23 - Open the menu, select "door decoder" and press . You'll hear typing if you did it correctly. Again the guards behind will catch up if you take too long here.
1:40 - Lastly, before detonating the bombs here make sure 006 is 2 square tiles width away from the bomb explosions (not the tanks themselves) so he doesn't get blown up. ALSO make sure that you see "Objective C: Complete" and "Objective D: Complete" before you go through the final door - this will fail if you go through the exit early! I cut it close but you'll see D for a couple of frames at the end of mine after C.

ORIGINAL

EASIER STRAT

Also in the easier strat run you'll see me detonate mines with the mines equipped (Not the watch). To do this you'll have to push both the "Weapon +" and "Action" buttons at the exact same time.

Control Style = Button Combo
1.1 = X+A
1.2 = X+A
1.3 = X+RB
1.4 = X+RB
2.1 = X+A
2.2 = X+A
2.3 = X+A
2.4 = X+A
3.1 = RB+A
4.1 = Buttons up to you as custom. (My preferred style)

Fun Fact - There is a stat for "Attempts at Facility on 00 Agent" for this game. It took me 39 attempts apparently. Mostly just bad Dr. Doak spawns. With some luck you'll get it sooner :)

Hope this helps, feel free to ask me anything you're unsure of!

To unlock this achievement you have to beat Facility in 2:05 or less. This is recognized as one of the hardest cheats in the game, but after knowing a few details, it's actually quite easy.

I highly recommend switching your movement to the D-Pad, you cannot strafe properly with the left stick!

Dr. Doak has 7 possible spawns, 5 of them are viable for the cheat, while the last 2 would require extreme speedrun tactics to get - but no worries - he'll hardly ever spawn on those last 2 locations. There's plenty of time to take care of the guards at the starting area if they're giving you trouble.

Follow what I do on this video to get the cheat easily. Notice how I look at the sides on the 30 second mark to check the Doak spawns while the explosion from the mine clears. To detonate mines without switching to the watch, press A+Y or A+RB.


If you're having trouble even after the video, check out this short where I give a better explanation on what to do:

Good luck!

Below is the video of my run through for this achievement.
Dr. Doak spawns randomly, so you will have to rely on some RNG and hope that he spawns in the correct area.

Make sure you don't make the following mistakes (these are 2 things I did which made me fail my earlier runs)

• Not letting 006 finish the conversation and blowing up the tanks before exiting the stage will not get you the achievement.

• Place your mines correctly (if you are using less than 5 mines) and make sure all the tanks are destroyed.

With a little luck and patience you should be able to get this achievement. Good luck!

Invincibility Mode Cheat
Mission: Facility
Difficulty: 00 Agent
Target Time: 2:05

This is one of the more difficult cheat modes to unlock with a really low target time. To make matters worse theres an element of luck involved. As Double Agent "Dr Doak" can spawn in any of the 5 lab locations. But only the upstairs lab spawn is a viable to beat the target time. Meaning you'll have to run this multiple times until you get lucky! For details on the best route, check my video guide below. I unlocked the cheat with a time of 1:50.

a. Gain Entry to Laboratory Area (Agent)
b. Contact the Double Agent (Secret Agent)
c. Rendezvous with 006 (Agent)
d. Destroy the Tanks in the Bottling Room (Agent)
e. Minimize Scientist Casualties (Agent)

00:00 - Agent
02:53 - Secret Agent
06:13 - 00 Agent & I AM INVINCIBLE! Achievement
