A gun and a single round of ammo rest on a table in front of
you. Pick up the weapon and the ammo quickly so that you're
armed, and press A to switch over. If you're super quick, you
can fire on the two Russian thugs before they even get a shot
off. Pick up the guards's guns and a door key. Switch to the
newfound DD44. Now, a thousand and one soldiers, thugs,
KGB and other personnel, and anyone else you can imagine
will flood to your doorway. This isn't easy past the easy level.
Shoot the first two or three guys who show up at the door, and
then run straight out. This takes some practice, and after
several tries you should get it. You'll take a little damage, too.
Whatever you do, don't stand around. The longer you stay in
there, the less chance you have to escape. After about three or
four guys appear, charge the door, head straight to the very
next door, about four feet away. Open it and plug whomever is
in your way. Run and keep going.
You're now in a warehouse room full of crates and ammo. In
the center is body armor. Run straight, grab it, and go the far
side of the room, and then exit. Now stand at the bottom of the
stairs our of harm's way. The guys who were chasing you will
eventually come. You should have added to your arsenal a
Klobb and a KF7 Soviet. We like the Soviet since it's quieter
in short bursts, and a little more accurate. When they arrive,
dust them and then wait. They come in waves. A few guys
might come down the stairs as well. Keep an eye on the
staircase, too. You can do this whole operation from the top of
the stairs as well, but it doesn't work as well.
Now (assuming you haven't already done so), ascend the
stairs, open a door. There are three ways to go. To your right
is one to two soldiers. Take an immediate left down another
hallway, kill one soldier and duck behind come crates. Stand
up, kill the second guy in front of you and then run in to the
main chamber (or you can turn around and kill the guys behind
you). But again, the trick is to be fast, not to wait until winter
comes. After passing through the door at the hallway's end,
you'll see you're in the main library. Turn left and enter a door
(there is a staircase to your left but don't take it). More guards
will arrive. Instead of taking those stairs (which lead to the
attic), hug the wall to your right, and run to the middle of that
room where a set of double doors is. To the right is a smaller
single door. Open it. Natalya will be in there with two to three
armed KGB members. Two to your right, one with Natalya on
the left. Don't shoot her or the guy near her. If there are three
guards, one has a grenade and he may set it off. Shoot the
KGBs as fast as possible to the right but stay away from them.
Natalya may try to escape. If she does, she may get caught,
and she'll end up in a room near the beginning of the level as a
hostage again. If not, she'll hide in the attic. The way to calm
her is to instantly kill the guards in that room. Quickly shoot the
guy who held Natalya and then quickly move into the corner of
the room where the two guys were and reload. There you'll
fend off as many as 12 soldiers. The battle will eventually end.
Escape through the door you came through, careful to eliminate
anyone else around, and quietly. Before you get Natalya (or is
she's with you), make a B line across the big room and to the
left. A set of double doors opens directly to the stairs that
descend to the main room floor. Descend the stairs, and walk
across the length of the floor to a doorway (to the left). Open
it, take an immediate left again and open the second door.
There may be guards to your right. If so, shoot them, quiet like.
You'll be in the corner of another library type room. To your
immediate right is another door; open it. You'll appear in a
hallway with shining light. Run to its end, take a right, and enter
the door. There's a guy in black who looks like a bad guy, but
isn't. Don't shoot him! You'll meet Mishkin, who will have a
discussion with you and then hand over the safe key. The safe
is right behind him. Open it with the key and remove the black
box inside. If Natalya isn't with you, retrace your steps to the
attic. If she's not there, she was captured again, and you need
to find her.
Go to the observation deck above the main floor by ascending
the steps you originally took. On the wall opposing you are two
doors. Take this left door into a hallway. At the far end is
where she is being held captive. Empty rooms should appear
on your left (and occasionally one or two of them have soldiers
in them). If you see a soldier, kill him quietly with one shot.
When you get to the room, there are three men in thick dark
coats and Natalya. Kill them all to escape that room. (That
room also has a secret door. Directly opposite the door is a
wall. Press B to open it. Cool!)
Once you've found her, head back to the library observation
deck. Once you've made it into that big area on the second
floor, shoot out any one of the windows and jump through.
That's it.
