Run 3: Very Easy, the Plant Tags

Play the Plant again on Very Easy for its 43 dog tags, then take the two Stealth trophies at the clear and save the clear data.

The second half of run 3: the Plant chapter on Very Easy, straight on from this run's Tanker. The job is Very Easy's 43 Plant tags; the story and the route are the same as in run 1, so each checkpoint only points the way and names the gear to pick up on the way. Pickups, boxes, Codec gags and the one-off secrets are not listed again. At the end of the credits, the tags of all three tag runs together hand over both Stealth items, each with a trophy. Left for later: the Extreme run and the menu modes.

What Very Easy changes for the tags

A gun from the first room: an M9 lies under the shelves in the Deep Sea Dock (the Thermal Goggles from the bottom of the pool show it), so every tag can be taken as you meet its holder. Two holders in the dock carry tags on this difficulty: take them before you ride the lift up. The SOCOM Suppressor lies up the stairs in the Strut B Transformer Room, not in Strut F: fitted to the SOCOM, it lets you wound a guard who won't give in, once in an arm or a leg, before you aim at his head again. Holders differ from run 1: where one stands at the same post, his row says so. Infinite ammo: the Infinity Wig from run 2's clear should be in your items; equipped, it keeps the guns from running dry. Checking: the Thermal Goggles show a tag on the chest of a guard who still carries one, and from a second playthrough on, the Dog Tag Viewer on the Special menu shows every holder's spot when you load a save. The timed legs (Sensor B, the dash to the Shell 1 Core lift) run as in run 1: a few minutes each.

Run 3: Start the Plant at the Deep Sea DockQuest stepNG+2
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Deep Sea Dock – After the Tanker's closing scenes you surface in the dock's pool. Dive to the pool floor for the Thermal Goggles, low on the right-hand wall, and climb out. Put them on and look along the bottom of the shelves for a glowing block: crawl to it for the M9. Once the hatch scene brings Rose onto the line, save on 140.96 whenever you like.

Summary
The Plant opens in the Strut A Deep Sea Dock, as in run 1. On Very Easy a gun and two tag holders are waiting there.

Both dock tags before the lift

The lift up from the dock storage room ends your time in the dock rooms, and the two Very Easy holders down here are not met again. Take Dog Tag: Strut A, Deep Sea Dock, guard 1 (Very Easy) and Dog Tag: Strut A, Deep Sea Dock, guard 2 (Very Easy) before you call the lift.

Dog Tag: Strut A, Deep Sea Dock, guard 1 (Very Easy)CollectibleMissablePoint of no returnNG+2
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Deep Sea Dock – Through the hatch, the storage room's guards lie knocked out; log in at the Node there and they start to come round. Two guards in the dock rooms carry tags on Very Easy and no post is recorded: sweep the storage room and the corridor as they stand. Come up behind him with a gun out, step round to his front and aim at his head until the tag drops. The Thermal Goggles show which guards still have a tag.
Why you can lose it
The Shell 1-2 bridge is the deadline: once it falls, Shell 1 is out of reach for the rest of this run except for a short timed dash through Strut E much later. Take it on this pass.
Point of no return
Shooting out every Semtex control unit on the Shell 1-2 bridge: walking on starts the fight that wrecks it, and Shell 1 can't be walked back into this run.

Run 3: Struts A to F, first passHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepNG+2Minor spoiler
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A to the F-A Connecting Bridge – From the dock lift, sweep the Strut A Roof for its Chaff Grenades, crawl through the gap in the fence and go down into the Pump Room. Cross the A-B bridge into Strut B for the long scene and the SOCOM; climb the stairs there for the SOCOM Suppressor. Over the B-C bridge, the Strut C briefing hands you the Coolant Spray, Sensor A and the Lv.1 Card; freeze the charge in the women's restroom. Then go round the ring the way run 1 did: the C-D bridge and Strut D, the D-E bridge and the Strut E Parcel Room (the Mine Detector lies down the stairs on its left-hand side), the Heliport, the E-F bridge and Strut F, then the F-A bridge. Follow Sensor A's cloud in every strut and freeze each charge.

Summary
The first lap of the ring: up through Strut A, over to Strut B and the bomb-disposal briefing in Strut C, then round Struts D, E and F, freezing each charge Sensor A finds.

Back over the E-F bridge, through the Parcel Room and over the D-E bridge to the Sediment Pool's door at the top centre of the map. On the Shell 1-2 bridge, stay by the door and shoot every Semtex control unit with the PSG1: on Very Easy look at the foot of the stairs ahead, on the big tank, on the left of the far door, along the bridge's left side and on the Cypher hovering toward Shell 2 (hit the unit, never the drone). Walk on, pick up the Stinger thrown down to you, bring the Harrier down, then cross the wreck by the ledge round Strut G and drop to the bridge below.

About this guide

Four runs of the Tanker-Plant game on one save chain, each started from the last run's clear save. Run 1 on Normal sweeps every pickup, secret and dog tag. Runs 2 and 3 on Easy and Very Easy collect that difficulty's dog tags, because tags add up across difficulties and the Stealth rewards need more than one difficulty holds. Run 4 on Extreme is the Big Boss run: under three hours, no kills, no alerts beyond the scripted ones, no special items, few saves. The VR and Alternative missions, Snake Tales, Boss Survival and Casting Theater sit outside the runs, in the menu.
