Medal of Honor (100%) Walkthrough (M5-L1: The Roaring Penstocks)

The Continuation of a 100% Walkthrough Series for Medal of Honor (1999), played on the secret "Captain Dye" difficulty. ABOUT 100% COMPLETION: To achieve 100% completion in Medal of Honor, two requirements must be met in each Level: 1 - Finish the Level with 95% or more of Enemies eliminated. 2 - Finish the Level with 75% or more of Patterson's Health intact. Sounds easy enough, but a lot of levels have broken enemy spawns, which can sometimes cause the kill count to increase beyond its intended value. If this happens, it can often become impossible to reach 95% kills for that level without a restart. At the end of each Level, the game will show the Performance Evaluation screen. The "Overall Rating" statistic near the top of the page is what tracks your completion percentage throughout the game. If you managed to meet both requirements listed above, you will be granted an "Excellent" rating, along with three (3) Gold Stars. Once an "Excellent" rating has been earned for all the Levels in a Mission, you will be awarded a Medal and a Secret Code. Continue to earn Medals and Secret Codes across all Mission, and you're on your way to 100% completion! There are also a number of minor unlockables that are earned silently in the background as you play. At the end of this series, I will create a video showing off all of the unlockables that can be obtained throughout the game, as well as a few other extras that cannot be unlocked by normal means. ABOUT CAPTAIN DYE MODE: The only way to access Captain Dye Mode is to enter the Password "CAPTAINDYE" into the typewriter in the options menu. The Password will only be accepted on brand new profiles with a 0% completion percentage. Captain Dye Mode ultimately changes little about how the game functions, and it's almost a lie to even call it a "difficulty". The only difference between the Standard Game and Captain Dye Mode is how the Health Meter functions between levels. In the Standard Game, Patterson's Health completely regenerates to 100% in-between each level. However, if Captain Dye Mode is active, then Patterson's Health does NOT regenerate in-between levels. Instead, his Health only regenerates at the end of a Mission. ABOUT LEVEL 1 - THE ROARING PENSTOCKS: Mission 5 finally introduces us to the best weapon in the game, the Browning Automatic Rifle. Since we have no grenades or other explosives, the BAR is going to be your crutch throughout the Power Plant. Enemies now react much faster and shoot more accurately, so always be prepared to fire around every corner. There are two ambushes in the Level that you need to watch out for. The first one occurs at (4:05), with two enemies rushing you from behind as you enter a dead-end side room. The second one occurs right near the end of the Level at (8:50), where again, two enemies rush you from behind. Sometimes, the enemies at the second ambush position will not spawn correctly, but backtracking slightly into the hallway will encourage them. One last bug: the ammunition stash at (2:50) will sometimes fail to spawn when you first visit this location. To fix this, continue through the Level for a couple more rooms, then backtrack to this location just as I did at (3:24). The ammo should now be available for pickup. ABOUT MEDAL OF HONOR: Medal of Honor is a First-Person Shooter which originally released in 1999, exclusively for the Sony PlayStation. In it, you play as Lt. James "Jimmy" Patterson, an American soldier who has been recently recruited into the O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services) during the later stages of World War II. Lt. Patterson is subsequently sent on various Missions behind enemy lines to help secure total victory for the Allied forces in Europe. Medal of Honor was an important release for its time and is one of the earlier examples of a successful console-exclusive First-Person Shooter.
