007: Tomorrow Never Dies - Ski Ridge, Hokkaido - 7th Mission

The seventh video in a walkthrough requested by COUCHNUMBER. This is somewhat hard, a lot more difficult than the last Missions, only for the final part, the rest is of medium difficulty! It gets easier once you get used to it, but it took me a LOT of practice. First of all, the ski section is harder than the last (which was in the 1st Mission), you can't avoid some of the enemies following you, but it's relatively easy compared to the Boss. He's just nearly invincible and he throws nerve gas at you, draining your energy real fast. The only way to kill him easily I found is to get full ammo on your Assault Rifle and as many Med Kits as you can, then shoot like crazy while trying to avoid the gas (I didn't lose a single life doing so). Having some spare lives will also help if you don't have all these requirements I mentioned. He might also be easier at Agent difficulty, I don't know, I've only played on the hardest difficulty so far.
