Walkthrough

All of the below was written up based on a playthrough with Crysis set on Normal difficulty. So expect more trouble with those pesky North Koreans and weird-looking alien gizmos if you bump things up to Hard or Delta, although the basics should be similar across all four of the game's difficulty settings. The game design is also pretty fluid when it comes to enemy positioning, so don't expect either the KPA or the aliens to always be in the locations described below.

Also, the tips below generally cover just one way to kill the bad guys and reach all of the main and secondary objectives. There are lots more, of course. Your nifty battle suit provides many options when it comes to slaughtering everything that walks, runs, or slithers ominously through the air, and levels have been designed to accommodate different approaches to reaching goals. Experiment and see what works best for your particular playing style.

General Strategy Tips

  • KPA soldiers are smart. Charging them head-on is suicide, so stick to the weeds and keep cloaked as often as possible.
  • Be patient! Sit back and observe KPA positions when cloaked, or kill one and then hide while all of the enemy comes out to see what's going on. Many KPA are dressed in full camouflage, making them almost impossible to see in the jungle. Patience also applies when fighting aliens, but for different reasons. All aliens in the game, from the ghostly creatures on the alien ship to the flying robots, are very fast, so you have to make each shot count. Firing wildly will just get you killed, usually while you're reloading from a senseless bit of blasting away.
  • Rely on your cloak. While it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of battle and forget about this essential power, be sure to monitor your suit's recharge levels and turn cloak on as often as possible when fighting.
  • Attacking enemy bases requires some strategizing. Always try to whittle down KPA numbers from long distances using the FY71 and its scope. After you notch a few victims, consider moving in under cloak and mopping up the survivors with one-shot kills from the shotgun.
  • Don't try to kill every enemy that you encounter. Some KPA patrols are so loaded for bear that it's better to cloak and sneak past them. The same goes for aliens. Trying to kill all of the organic aliens during the ship level, for instance, is dumb because most ignore your presence unless you open fire on them. And trying to kill all of the flying octopi during the VTOL escape is flat-out impossible. The better part of valor is a good idea in many levels. Don't bother playing Rambo.
