Bully/Chapter 4: A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body, and Other Lies

With the Greasers and Preppies on his side, Jimmy's well on his way to running Bullworth. It's time to take on the last clique: the Jocks.

Stronghold Assault
If you're going to get the Jocks, you'll need to have backup from their arch-enemies, the Nerds. They're none too keen to help you though, so Petey suggests you'll have to take on their leader, Earnest, to get the rest of them to fall in.
 * Starts: Library

Outside the library, you'll find a group of Nerds - land a couple of blows on whichever one's marked by the arrow, and you'll be told he's in the Observatory. On the south side of the Library you'll find a narrow alleyway, with Bucky blocking your way. A couple of punches and he'll tell you the access code for the gate leading to the nerds' HQ.

As you follow the path, Nerds will attack you with firecrackers, bottle rockets and stinkbombs. However, if you use your slingshot, it's pretty easy to take them all out from a distance which makes the ordeal easier.

As you reach the end of the path you'll come to a crude corrugated iron doorway; pass through and Earnest will make his appearance, manning the Spud Cannon on top of the observatory's entrance arch. To get through, you're going to have to take out the transformer beside Earnest that controls the gate locks.

Stay where you are for now; you're covered by the cliff face which prevents Earnest from hitting you with his cannon. There are two nerds across from you - use your slingshot to take them out without needing to leave cover.

Get into first person mode with your slingshot by pressing psx: Up Dpad twice, and turn towards the observatory. Use psx: Neutral Lstick to move out slowly until you can see the transformer but not Earnest.

Take out the transformer and Earnest abandons his post, running into the observatory to hide.

You can now leave cover - there's two Nerds guarding the gates, but they're not too difficult to deal with. Open the gate with psx: T, and run up to the Spud Cannon.

You've got to shoot the observatory doors until they buckle and break open - there's a health bar that shows you how close you are. At the same time, Nerds will appear at the windows and along the roof of the observatory to throw firecrackers and shoot rockets at you - use the Spud Cannon to take them out as they appear.

When the doors break, Jimmy runs inside to face Earnest.

Earnest falls to the floor, where Jimmy helps him up. He's initially distrustful, but Jimmy explains that he wants to take on the Jocks, with the Nerds' help - an idea that Earnest can really get behind.

As a reward, you'll get the Spud Gun weapon.
