MR. BLONDE'S REVENGE

Your guide to Mr. Blonde's Revenge in Perfect Dark. Learn how to infiltrate dataDyne, kidnap Cassandra De Vries, and earn the Invisibility Factor Crown.

Alright, let's dive into 'Mr. Blonde's Revenge,' the first of the Special Assignments in Perfect Dark. You unlock this one after beating all the main missions on Agent difficulty. It's a bit of a prequel, showing how Cassandra De Vries ended up captured by the Skedar, which ties into later missions like 'Attack Ship: Covert Assault' and 'Carrington Institute: Defense.' This mission puts you in the shoes of Mr. Blonde, and your goal is to sneak into dataDyne headquarters, grab Cassandra De Vries, and get her to a Skedar ship on the roof. Be warned, though: the enemies in this mission are super aggressive and easily alerted, especially on the first floor. Alarms are your worst enemy here. ### Invisibility Factor Crown This crown is a real challenge: complete the mission on Special Agent difficulty without using the Cloaking Device. It's tough because Cassandra's Bodyguards can swarm you. Here's a strategy to help: 1. Start Smart: As soon as the mission begins, duck behind the reception desk. This gives you a moment to plan. 2. Distract with BombSpy: Pilot your BombSpy towards the elevator. The Bodyguards will get curious and follow it. Keep them distracted, but don't let the BombSpy sit still for too long, or they'll spot it and destroy it. 3. Clear the Way: Once a good number of them are gathered in the elevator room, detonate the BombSpy. This should clear a path to the elevator. 4. Plant the Skedar Bomb: Quickly get to the elevator and plant the Skedar Bomb. You'll need to be fast because any remaining Bodyguards will try to lock it down. 5. Grab Ammo and Go: While you're there, grab any CMP-150 ammo from fallen Bodyguards. Then, head up the lobby stairs to the elevator on the right to reach the upper floors. Important: You *must* plant the bomb before the elevator is locked down, or you'll fail the mission. After planting it, you'll have a time limit to finish. Watch out on the upper floors! While it's generally safer, you'll encounter DataDyne Shock Troopers armed with N-Bombs. If Cassandra gets caught in an N-Bomb's blast radius, it's mission failure, so keep her protected. If you manage to complete the mission without ever using the Cloaking Device, you'll earn the Invisibility Factor Crown. It takes practice, so don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries! Cheese: You can find Cheese in the same locations as in 'DataDyne Central: Defection' and 'DataDyne Central: Extraction.'
