Teresa told me you obtained these credentials in Yemen, from a North Korean agent. I dealt with another North Korean agent in Kyrgyzstan... If you read my mission report you'll know that I was sent to Tash, Kumyr, to retrieve the bio-weapon container that we knew Yushchenko had sold. I knew from my sources that a North Korean agent was coming that night to purchase it. I had to stop the deal from going down. The village guards bought into my old peasant woman disguise, but warned me to keep to myself. Saydahmat's men were not to be trusted. If drunk enough, they'd have accost anyone. But if they bothered me? (chuckles) They'd get more than they bargained for!

—Lian Xing, Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain

Tash, Kumyr, Kyrgysztan: Saydahmat's Village is the seventh mission and second bonus mission in Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain. Players play as Lian Xing, attempting to recover the bio-weapons container that Yushchenko sold to the local warlord Askar Saydahmat before the latter can further trade it to the North Koreans in exchange for a handsome sum of money. It is unlocked by completing Belarus 1 and 2 in solo par.

Walkthrough

In this particular bonus mission, you will now play as Lian, who is armed with poisonous throwing stars and wears a flimsy disguise. This is much more complicated than Italy, for the map is larger and the objectives are also more complex. Timing will also be important... You will be fine as long as you keep your distance from enemies. Just like Stone, you also have the neck snap. Some things to remember:

  • As sexy as the provocative outfit might seem, it will cause guards to be alerted, which fails your stealth objective, if worn outside the palace (don't ask me how they know there's an intruder)
  • If you need more than one throwing star to kill ANYBODY, quit this and restart IMMEDIATELY. This is much more particular with the Yemeni man, Zayed.

1) Run ahead and to the left, switching to your shurikens. Following the path leads to a large open area.

2) Ahead of you are a bunch of crates, head to the left corner of this area.

(*) I like to hide underneath the "umbrella".

3) You should see a dark spot to hide in - go there look at the far wall. You'll see a guard patrolling near 2 people talking.

(*) The one in the suit is Sok-ju Yang. (Why the bloody hell is that fool wearing sunglasses AT NIGHT?!)

4) When the 2 people finish talking, your Korean man will walk off to the right. 

5) Count out loud about 3 seconds, then target/kill first the guy at the door who was talking and then the guard who was patrolling. Make sure that Yang has passed the guard and will not be able to see the corpse!

(*) When throwing the stars, you can just use auto-aim, and you'll get 1 hit kills on this stage. Nobody has any armour... 

6) Run up by the guy you killed at the door and turn right, walking behind the crates (where Yang just went).

7) Sneak-walk and follow Yang, staying behind him. He walks to another large, well-lit area and starts trying to make the arms deal.

8) Walk up as far as you can WITHOUT going into the light, then turn to your right.

9) Off in the distance, you should be able to see someone hiding near some barrels. This is Zayed Al Dhahiri.

10) A guard patrols by here, when he goes by, toss a throwing star above Al Zayed's head. You will want to use manual aim, and move the trigger to where the bottom curl of the trigger is on Dhahiri's head, and the stick that points down from the circle is covering his body.

(a) Throwing stars do obey the laws of gravity in this game.

(b) If you don't see him disappear, you didn't aim right. Keep practicing (but you'll have to reset the mission as you need every shuriken) 

11) After the guard walks in front of you, sneak/roll to your left, past the guard (he stops).

12) Head for a dark path on your left, between 2 torches, which leads to a stairway. Take the stairs up.

13) Turn right at the top of the stairs, run around the corner to the right, and sneak/roll behind the patrolling guard you see.

14) When this guard comes to a well lit area, he'll stop for a few seconds, then turn right. Walk to your left a bit, and as this one guard is turning, target/kill a stationary guard directly ahead/to the left (he is standing next to some barrels).

16) Immediately turn right and kill the guy you were following all this time, after he gets a slight ways past the view of the large doorway on your left.

17) By now, someone will start approaching from the doorway up ahead (on your left, after turning right to kill the patrolling guard). Before this guy can spot a body, target/kill him with a throwing star.

(*) You will probably have to get close to the doorway, but he is still turned sideways so you don't need to worry.

18) Run up to this last guy's corpse and grab the papers. The building in here is where we'll be heading to later, but there's a laser system, that fries WHOEVER touches it, guarding the complex!

19) This next part is a bit tricky...There is another guard who walks by where you just were to get here. You have to kill this guy before he spots any of the bodies, but also before he can spot you too.

(a) To make matters worse, Samaev also walks by this area at about the same time, so he can't spot anything suspicious. 

(b) I like to run near the crates where I hid to take out the first 2 guards, then try to shoot him as he gets about halfway up the alley. 

20) Now, head towards this last guard you killed, and turn left to follow Samaev. He'll go through a doorway ahead and down some stairs.

(*) You can follow him down the stairs IF you want, to see this part of the map. However, there are guards below, so I wouldn't take him out down there.

21) Ignore him and stay outside the doorway, on the right near the tree. 

22) After a few minutes (it sure seems like an eternity), he will come back up the stairs and through the doorway - take him out with a throwing star.

23) Grab the bio-container off Samaev's corpse and head back NEAR where you got the papers, and nail the stationary guard.

24) On the left, before the doorway, is a square area. There is a crate up ahead of you - jump up on it, then jump on the roof, using the other crates.

25) Take out the guard near the entrance to this building and go inside. Head for the left corner of this first room, behind the "changing station". Switch into the new outfit.

26) Backtrack towards where Yang is waiting - down the roof, down the crates, forward, right, left, down the stairs and in this open area.

(*) You don't even have to worry about the guards with this outfit. They're too busy obsessed over Lian :)

27) Talk to Sok-ju Yang to give him the bio-container.

(*) Apparently, even the worst of criminals has a weakness for hookers. (as Bugs Bunny would say, "what a maroon!")

28) Afterwards, wait for him to go off on his own, then follow him. He'll walk back near the beginning of the mission.

29) When he gets to the discreet area before the place where he was talking at the beginning of the level, take him out.

(*) The alley here is dark enough, you don't need to worry about hiding his crooked body.

30) Get the bio-container for yourself this time, and head back up the stairs, on the crates, on the roof, and near where you switched clothes.

(*) DO NOT switch back clothes right now, however.

31) What we need to do now is poison the chalice, and the guards in front of the room won't fall for your current outfit. You need something that exposes you more...>_>

32) Go down the hall to the left, then make a right in the huge area by some pillars.

33) Make a right in the dark hallway here, and go down the ramp. Head to the doorway on your left and keep following this path past some guards.

33) Eventually, you'll go into a room with some "laser security" and see the text pointing towards where you can change clothes again. This is the same room that you could see from the courtyard which had a guard holding Yuschenko's documents.

(*) Ahhh, skimpy lingerie, that's more like it. Who could resist that? It's by far the HOTTEST outfit in the game!

34) Make your way back towards the first hallway, and head for the 2 guards blocking the door. Now they let you inside, so walk inside, and then find and poison the chalice. It's straight ahead and on the left.

(*) I'm afraid the guards OUTSIDE won't think much of the bikini...

35) Before going outside, where you first changed clothes, switch back into your original disguise (the peasant outfit)

36) Leave the building. Run/sneak your way back towards where the mission began.

(*) Sneak only when necessary - that is, near the guards in the area where Sok-ju Yang met with you. 

Trivia

  • The guards outside will blow stealth if the skimpy outfit is worn in the exterior of Saydahmat's compound.
  • There is a shortcut at the plaza, where Samaev and Yang meet, which leads to the armoury. When you're inside the plaza, head opposite of where Samaev goes to and you will see a right turn. Follow it until it turns right and you will come to a junction. Go to the left and jump onto the crate. Leap onto this wall and then drop down. The armoury is on your left. From this area, you can also access the staircase which goes to the courtyard with a guard who carries Yushchenko's papers.
  • This wall can be accessed from the starting point if you turn left, follow the junction towards the right then kill the first guard who's going left. Follow his path and kill the second guard on your left. From there, go straight and turn left. Take out the next enemy to your right, and then the fourth guard coming down the stairs on your left. Facing the guard, the shortcut is the wall to your right.

Goofs

  • While the player can kill Yang in any fashion, Lian is technically scripted to use a throwing star on him. This is proved by her dialogue which plays upon his death.
