GoldenEye 007/Cradle

Mission Objectives for all 3 difficulties

 * Destroy Control Console
 * Settle the Score With Trevelyan

General strategies

 * At the very beginning of the level, there's some body armor behind the lift. You'll thank yourself for getting it as soon as possible.
 * You are only given a certain amount of time to blow up the control console. Failure to destroy it within the time limit results in a mission failure.
 * In addition to the body armor in the beginning, there are 2 more armors on the other edge of the levels. Be careful in higher difficulties, however, as it is difficult to shoot enemies from a far away, wasting a body armor and health if not dealt with properly.
 * Of all the levels in the game, you will not be able to get a sniping weapon (i.e. Assault Rifle) nor a D5K Deutsche throughout almost the entire level. Trevelyan is the only one with the Assault Rifle.
 * Enemies will continue to respawn. There's little time to waste.

Destroy Control Console
Once you've gotten onto the main part of the cradle, go along until you find a bridge to the lower part of it. Go across, and go down the stairs at the bottom. Turn left, open the door, and whatever you do, don't go through! Look carefully and you'll find one of those happy little mounted miniguns there. Take it out with a DK5, quickly. Check for enemies following you from on top of the staircase, and eliminate all that you see. Go in the room a little and blow up the other minigun. Check for enemies again. Go behind the big metal gear-thing, and blow up the console.

Settle the Score With Trevelyan
Next up is defeating Alec Trevelyan. Upon the room with the console, going to the next door is Alec Trevelyan. Trevelyan's programming allows him to only take damage once. Once he is running, he is invulnerable, no matter what you do. There are 2 ways to approach this:
 * Objectives Required: Destroy main antennae console.

If you are lucky to get a grenade, you can use it to end the fight immediately. Throw a grenade at Trevelyan and the explosion will instantly kill him. Approach the bottom of the cradle, but don't fall off and complete the mission.

If you are unlucky to not get a grenade, you will have to face this the normal and harder way. Strafe and try to shoot 006 in the head to do more damage. He'll run away, be invulnerable, and drop a grenade. Trying to run to him is very risky as the grenade explosion could kill you instantly. Go to the opposite side of the cradle and in the similar spot Trevelyan is at. He may go upstairs in other designated shooting spots. Eventually, when you do enough damage to him, he will run to the bottom of the cradle. There is no point into backtracking for armor as there are enough enemies shooting at you. Just follow him down there, and through the hole he jumps down. This is the final duel. Now kill him as quickly as you can (just spray bullets), and keep in mind that unlike most ledges in the game, you can fall easily off of the small platform you've followed him onto. There is a dirty trick to winning this by aiming and strafing, allowing you to be at one position without enemy bullet recoil. When he's taken about ten more hits or he falls off of the platform - whichever comes first - he's dead. Enjoy the credits.
