”Any advice on stopping a T-64?
Not unless you have a helicopter gunship with laser targeting mortars. Wait. Intel shows an abandoned Afghan rebel headquarters. They might have stockpiled armor-strength munitions. Good luck. Xing out.
Right.
The Beast is the twelfth mission in Syphon Filter 3. It is Gabriel Logan's flashback during his time in Kabul, Afghanistan, picking up where the last mission left off. In this mission, Gabriel Logan must find C-4 explosives and C-4 transponder and use them to destroy the Soviet T-64 tank before it reaches his convoy.
Plot
Mission Briefing
Kabul, Afghanistan:
Square in Eastern Part of City
Logan's Testimony from the Congressional Record:
"Lian's diversion worked perfectly. I don't know what she did, but suddenly an entire garrison of troops who had been defending the southern city walls, simply vanished and I was able to escort the truck into Kabul."
"When we got close to the rendezvous point, however, we ran into even more trouble. A Soviet T-64 was guarding the town square, and he had help: Soviet troops were pouring in. I had no idea how a single infantryman was going to take out several tons of Russian armor."
Walkthrough
From where you start, hide behind the little wall on the right and peek out to kill the soldiers up ahead, (if you try to rush them, they will pretty much kill you). After taking them out, get the Flak Jacket beside the truck if you need it and on the left side of the road is an M-16 box. When you get to the archway, peek out of it and shoot the two snipers on each side. Equip the M-16 and when you enter this area, a soldier on foot will attack you and another sniper will appear, shoot both. Head forward some more and Lian will call you with your new objective to find the rebel garrison. Head into the town square and kill all the soldiers that appear, the explosives are straight ahead and to the right of where you entered, there is also a Flak Jacket to the right of the C-4 box. When you take them, head out of the square and turn right to face the tank you must take out. Dodge the explosive shells it fires and follow it down the path by walking on the side of it. When it stops, attach the C-4 to the side, run away and use the transponder to blow up the tank.
