Here we are, the chapter of the game. This is where it all ends. As seen
with
the previous graphic novel scene, Vlad is not holding back. The game will
start
with a cutscene. Woden will tell Vlad to stop, then trys to force him. Vlad
kills woden. Max then starts to strangle Vlad, only to find the vlad
detonates
the bomb and makes the floor collapse. When Max and Vlad get up, Vlad
cannot
find his gun and runs off. Max stands up and takes the gun from under his
stomech and decides to finish Vlad once and for all.

Go in the door ahed of you and kill the agent. Go left quickly and then
kill
the agents you see. A panic room(large silver trailer will crash in the
room
behind you.ar a huge explosion. All the barrels that were scattered around
the
area have exploded. Go back out of the panic room and go down the ruined
hallway. There will be two huge holes in the wall, go in the one on the
left
and jump down. Kill the agent here and go quickly into the door in the
right
corner. Go up the stairs and across the balcony. Jump over the gap and
continue down the balcony. Go in the door ahead of you.

Go down the hallway and kill the agent. Go left and through the door to
continue the chapter. Go up the stairs and kill the agents you find. At the
top of the stairs is an entrance to another hallway, but its blocked by a
huge
plastic barrier. Vlad is behind it talking to you. After a while he will
run
away like a little ****ie and leave his agents to guard. Once the barrier
breaks go into the door ahead of you and kill the agents. Stock up on all
the
guns and ammo in here before you go inside the elevator.

When you get to the top run out of the elevator and kill the agents. Facing
out of the elevator run towards the door in the far right corner. The next
part of this chapter is kinda hard, so prepare yourself. Press the elevator
button and wait for it to come down. Kill and commandos at the top of the
elevator. Vlad will run out occasionally, just lay down some fire and he
should leave you alone. Once the left gets down jump in and press up. Lay
down
cover for anyone in your way. When you get to the top head in the door
ahead of
you for the final showdown.

Keep moving around the square platform to avoid Vlads molitovs. Shoot the
small orange supports holding up the platform to make it fall. Vlad will
not
die however, you will need to shoot yet another set of small orange
supports
on the pointy thing right above the glass down Vlad is on. When it falls,
Vlad
will dodge it. Vlad will not start shooting at you. Whenever he appears,
pump
lead in him till he dies. The game will show a cutscene in which Vlads
platform falls and he flies off to a painfull death. Congratulations, you
have
beaten Max Payne 2. Sit back and watch the credits roll.
