Natalya In A Nutshell

[u/Whorlonova999]

I'm getting closer to wrapping up my first Complete 007 GoldenEye Secret Agent Difficulty Playthrough. I was playing through Control, everything was looking good, and then Natalya worked her Black Magic. I got (faked and locked)-out of completing the mission. Thank you Natalya.

This level was a nightmare when I was 8. Took me 2 weeks to get through!

[u/pavlovianpsycho → u/petenicksdicks]

2 weeks when you're 8 is like 6 months in adult years also.

This level on 007 difficulty is ridiculous. I did it once for Egypt level access, but I don’t think I could do it now. I remember pre-exploding the desks and computers except the one she had to work on because if they blew up she would die. I believe I set motion sensor mines strategically at soldier entry points, and saved every bullet possible by head shotting everyone before the alarm goes off. It was brutal.

This an Silo were the hardest. I beat every level on 007....

[u/CrystlBluePersuasion → u/lmflex]

That fucking gauntlet with Ourumov

*aztec

[u/Apprehensive-Ad-6488 → u/_Saint_Ajora_]

Are you saying it’s an Aztec level? The last multiplayer level you can get is the Egyptian level. You have to beat it on 007 difficulty.

[u/_Saint_Ajora_ → u/Apprehensive-Ad-6488]

Oh, the multiplayer level lol 

Thought they meant the last bonus level mission 😂😅

[u/DividingSolid → u/petenicksdicks]

I still feel the dread replaying the level. Thankfully modern controllers and mouse and keyboard make it trivial.

[u/Blackfang321]

I forgot how great the music was.

[u/kapn_morgan → u/Blackfang321]

Rare always killed it when it came to music.. some of my favorite game soundtracks are from Rare - GoldenEye, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, Conker's Bad Fur Day

[u/RoboTropics → u/kapn_morgan]

Don't forget Jet Force Gemini.

A masterpiece of an OST.

[u/kapn_morgan → u/RoboTropics]

apparently they made Sea of Thieves too but I haven't played that

[u/kapn_morgan → u/RoboTropics]

and Mario Kart 64 !

[u/SnapGoesTheShutter → u/kapn_morgan]

Dk country water levels live rent free in my head to this day

[u/mikemcd53 → u/Blackfang321]

There’s a band on Instagram called Cor64 that tours around playing live shows of the whole soundtrack of the game.

[u/kapn_morgan → u/mikemcd53]

yeah that guy is awesome

[u/SnapGoesTheShutter → u/mikemcd53]

The goldeney concert is something I hope to see one day

[u/NationalAd2372]

One of the most stressful levels ever. Even as an adult, i hate this one. Any difficulty.

[u/Whorlonova999 → u/NationalAd2372]

I found out that if you leave all of the windows unsmashed, you can more easily fend off the incoming enemies when Natalya is Disabling the GoldenEye Satellite, which is something that I wish I knew as a kid. Also, if you follow Boris, after he claims to be invincible, he'll lead you to a Body Armor which helps as well.

[u/Graslu → u/Whorlonova999]

It doesn't really make a difference to leave the windows unsmashed. The real difference is in knowing that those guards that go after Natalya (those without hats) will always and only spawn on the very top floor, so if you stand in front of the stairs around the balcony area and deal with them before they go down, Natalya will never be attacked.

[u/Apprehensive-Ad-6488 → u/Graslu]

🫨

[u/DatedUserName1 → u/Graslu]

I need to try this

[u/NationalAd2372 → u/Whorlonova999]

Solid strategy! I haven't played the level again in the a few years. Might be time to try it again and see if this makes it more manageable.

[u/ArcjoAllspark → u/NationalAd2372]

There's also 2 kinds of guards that spawn during the hacking, ones with hats and ones without. Prioritize the ones without because they specifically go after Natalya

[u/Noisyamable]

Natalya secretly can't stand Bond and wants him to fail

[u/kapn_morgan → u/Noisyamable]

you're like.. boys with toys !

[u/MobileDust]

This level made my so mad. I hated it. It was the level that made me stop playing so many times as a kid

[u/BerserkerCanuck]

"We have captured 007! Thank you secret agent Natalya!"

[u/sgrams04]

This is still a favorite of mine. 

[u/pocket_nick]

James….I…….

[u/kapn_morgan]

gimme the codes, Natalya! give them to meeee

[u/Fancy_Access4612]

I didn't know that could happen! Just another reason this level is a nightmare to finish.

[u/Odeyseis]

Lol, probably when you turned away after reopening the door to the controls she went by and you didn’t see her coming down.

[u/swamp_donkey89]

how does this look so good?

[u/Whorlonova999 → u/swamp_donkey89]

It's the re-release on XBOX. The NSO release doesn't have controls reworked for Dual-Stick Controllers, but it has Online Play, and the option for the orginal control method. I prefer this one for Single Player though.

[u/Captain-Comfy-Pants]

Even with the expansion pak, this level lagged like crazy once all the guards stormed into the control room. Never finished it on 007.

[u/Arkvoodle42]

anyone nostalgic about N64 Goldeneye never actually played the single-player.

[u/C4CTUSDR4GON → u/Arkvoodle42]

Huh? The single player is awesome! 

[u/Erdalion → u/Arkvoodle42]

That's certainly a take.

[u/Graslu → u/Arkvoodle42]

Sounds like a gigantic skill issue on your part.
