1. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------

It's been a month since I last checked and noone has made a walkthrough for Die
Hard Vendetta yet so I decided that enough is enough and that I will make one.
This isn't one of the better games in my collection, I feel that it is let down
by a poor frame-rate but it does have some unique redeeming features, I
especially enjoy speaking to all the characters in the game. This is my first
proper walkthrough which I have submitted to gamefaqs so if you find my written
communication is not so good in certain areas feel free to e-mail me and let me
know so I can Improve it.
The level guides may contain spoilers so it may be best not to read too far
ahead.

2. Controls

In my opinion Version C is the best controller setup, as I like using the
C-stick to strafe, so any reference to buttons will refer to the version C
setup, which is as follows:

Action-            A Button
Grab-              A Button
Fire-              R Button
Reload-            Z Button
Jump-              X Button
Crouch-            Y Button
Stealth-           B Button
Hero Mode-         L Button & Y Button
Move Forward/Back- Control Stick
Strafe Left/Right- C Stick
Turn Left/Right-   Control Stick
Look Up/Down-      C Stick

3. Weapons
--------------------------------------------------

Fists-
Luckily for you, you will always have your fists to rely on (if you are
captured they may take all your other weapons but they never chop your arms
off). Fists are only useful for certain situations, they are good in one on one
fights but are very bad if you are in a room full of enemies. Perhaps the
biggest advantage is that you can arrest people when fists are equipped, just
use stealth mode and sneak up behind the enemy and when 'grab' appears on the
screen press A, to snap their neck press R1 and to arrest them press A again.
When someone is arrested they will drop their weapon and drop on to their
knees, they will remain on their knees and not bother you again, just make sure
that you pick up the weapons they drop.

Revolver-
The revolver is the most basic gun in the game. It has 6 bullets and so it is
not very good in crowded rooms with lots of enemies. The reload time is around
4 seconds so having to constantly reload is a bitch. It is possible to grab
enemies from behind with this, if you grab them and do not wish to arrest them
you can just shoot them in the head.

9mm Pistol-
The 9mm is a lot better than the revolver, it has a much faster firing rate
(almost double), it holds 17 bullets and the reload time is slightly faster
(the reload animation is also much cooler). It is still possible to grab
enemies from behind with this.

2 x 9mm Pistol-
Each gun fire alternately, the rate of fire is much faster than a single 9mm,
the reload time is the same. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to
arrest people as your hands are full, to arrest someone you need to switch back
to a single gun.

The Townsend Museum-
In the Introduction McClane sees a shootout at the Townsend Museum where his
daughter Lucy is on the first day of her job so he goes down to make sure that
she is alright. When the level begins you will be in stealth mode and will be
walking slowly, press B and go into action mode and then run to the police car
at the front of the museum on the right. Al is looking over a map with another
officer, speak to them until the officer says "Sir, we're in," the man cutting
through the doors will then standup and move aside allowing you to enter the
museum.
Enter and head to the left, it will feel like there has been an explosion, an
enemy will burst out of the door, shoot him with the revolver and press Z to
reload. Pick up his revolver, you can now use double revolver. Move into the
main room, there should be one enemy behind the lobby desk and one on the lower
part of the staircase, stand in the doorway and kill them both, you may also be
able to kill an enemy who is on the upper part of the level to the right
infront of a painting. Head up the stairs and wait in the middle bit where the
staircase splits, turn right, you will see an enemy run out of the open
doorway, shoot him, and go up the stairs. Once you are on the upper level turn
right and kill the enemy mentioned earlier if you have not already done so.
There are two more doorways on the upper part of the level, henchmen will run
out of both of them, shoot the one on the left first, then the one on the
right, he will die in slow motion. Go forward and then left, go through the
yellow stained glass door. Walk through the corridor until you reach a small
room, you will see an enemy walk past the doorframe which is the entrance to
the next room, don't shoot him there is another enemy who has a hostage, wait
for him to walk past then go onto stealth mode. Walk into the room they are in
and position yourself behind the guard closest to where you entered the room,
make sure you can see both enemies before opening fire, kill them both but be
careful not to kill the hostage. Pick up both the guns you now have double 9mm
pistols which are a lot better.
Go through the double doors, as you turn left there will be an area with 4
enemies, kill them all, you will find yourself in the upper area, if you look
down there is a horse statue, head right, go to the very end then turn left and
carry on down and turn left again there are some stairs. Before you go down
them you may want to find the medkit which is in the upper area.
In the lower are you will find a sniper rifle pick it up, there are two enemies
wearing trenchcoats, kill them. Dick Thornburg, the reporter, will burst
through the doors, on't kill him, I know it's tempting. Run away through the
doors he came through, he's really annoying to listen to, as you turn right
there are two guys kill them both and go through the double doors. The room you
enter is empty but the next one has one guard, you should be able to shoot him
from where you are standing, once you kill him move into the next room. you
will see four men holding the man with the worst fashion sense ever hostage in
the adjacent room, kill the three who are loose and you will be left with one
man holding a gun to the guys head. Aim and kill the man with the gun making
sure you don't kill the hostage and then have a nice little chat with him.
As you go outside there is a man on the upper balcony with you, switch to the
single 9mm pistol and go onto stealth mode if you go behind him it will say
grab, press A to grab him and press it again to make your first arrest, you
will get the submachinegun, it is useless so switch back to double 9mm pistols.
get to the bottom of the stairs, kill the three people who are on the grassy
bit, stay in the same are, on the slightly elvevated area to the right there
are two enemies, make sure you kill them. Go right, there is a helicopter
taking off in this area, press L and Y together to activate hero mode, everyone
else is now in slow motion, kill the two people on the grass, there is also a
man behind some boxes and a man behind a tree, heromode should allow you to
kill them all very easily. As you go forwards you will se a man with a hostage
to the left, the hostage is your daughter, Lucy, take aim and kill the man, you
wouldn't want to kill your own daughter now would you? Your final bullet should
go into bullet time, run forward and talk to Lucy, Dick will run towards you,
don't kill him and the level will end.
The first mission is the shortest and should only have taken around 5 minutes
to complete.

Hollywood Boulevard-
Once again you start off with a revolver in stealth mode, switch to action and
run down the street. You get a new objective to investigate a shooting at Fat
Larry's, don't kill the guy in pink with a gun, that's Larry, this objective is
not compulsary so just keep running down the street and you will get another
objective which this time is compulsary, assist police.
Carry on down to the end of the street, kill three bank robbers, there is a
fourth standing in the doorway holding a hostage, there are two ways of killing
him, you can either try to get a direct shot at his head or you can shoot the
cash machine to his left, this will cause him to release the hostage giving you
a clear shot. You get more bullet time, which is nice, you also get a 9mm.
As you enter the bank you will see a blood trail leading upstairs, follow it.
Switch to stealth, at the top, kill the man threatening the hostage before he
has the chance to shoot him, then clear out the main room and the office behind
you to your left there are a lot of enemies and you have to do a lot of
shooting. Go through the door that the hostage came through, if he didn't run
into the big gunfight there may be an enemy to the right, kill him, turn
around, behind the desk in the room you haven't been in there is an enemny who
is hiding, kill him. Once you have killed him jump up on to the lockers, shoot
the window and jump out, you have now reached the first checkpoint, if you die
or fail an objective you will now restart the level from here.
You can hear a man pleading for his life, turn right and head forward, to the
left is an alley with three men mugging another man, to minimise the risk of
killing the civillian switch onto stealth mode walk behind the man in the
middle and grab him. Pic up the guns his friends drop before letting him go,
have a fun conversation with the man you save. As you go out of the alley head
left towards the big dumpster, jump onto it and climb onto the roof, run
forward using auto-jump to get onto the ledge, walk alon the ledge and then
useauto-jump again to get to the building that the assailant climbed up using
the ladder.
Enter the building, at the bottom of the stairs a badguy will pop out, shoot
him, continue around the corner, at the endo of the mini-corridor another enemy
will jump out, shoot him. Leave the building, as you get onto the main street
walk off to the right, you will hear some gang members in the shop speaking,
switch to stealth mode, and crawl, open the door and hide behind the first
clothes rack. Make sure you are armed with a single 9mm pistol and move behind
the second rack, sneak up behind the man looking at the third clothes rack and
grab him. Pick up the guns everyone drops and then interrogate the gang
members. Pick up the disguise on the counter and put it on, move into the back
of the shop where the changing area is, if you want a little fun look in the
second room along, in the third room is an enemy, shoot him. Exit the building
through the back, here four badguys are loading a truck, take care of them and
then enter the back door of the shop next door.
Kill the man holding the record shop guy hostage, and you will get a new
objective, infiltrate gang meeting. You have a disguise and a members card,
make sure you are wearing the disguise. Hop over the counter an go back to
where you got onto the street and turned right to interrogate the gangmembers,
there is an area with a parking lot, enter the door. Go up the stairs, go upto
the window with a bloke behind it, press left on the control pad and select
pool club card and then speak to him. You will tell him that you are delivering
something for Sergio. Walk around in stealthmode, somepeople will burst in,
just shoot everyone there is and pickup the keys to the chinese cinema. Head
back to the record shop but don't go in. Three enemies will be waiting for you
outside the pool hall and then there will be another two on the way to Vinyl
fantasy, run up to the little yellow vehicle and pull the lever, it will dump
beams into the pit killing the two enemiesin thepit, kill anyone on the
otherside of the pit before jumping into it and using the beams to climb out.
Overall there are six enemies outside the chinese cinema, run upto the doors
and enter to finish the level, if you did not pick up the keys in the pool hall
you can't finish the level, either go back and look for them or restart from
the checkpoint.
