Clear all 18 main campaign stages on Secret Agent to unlock Aztec. Egyptian requires every preceding stage, including Aztec, completed on 00 Agent. Check the level-selection completion marks when a bonus stage remains locked; a missing earlier clear is more useful information than repeating the finale blindly. Learn Aztec's security and shuttle tasks separately before attempting a clean full run. Its elite guards and automated guns make ammunition and cover planning especially valuable.

Treat timed cheats as route challenges

Timed rewards require successful mission completion on the stated difficulty under the target time. Useful milestones include Runway on Agent under 5:00 for DK Mode, Dam on Secret Agent under 2:40 for Paintball Mode, and Facility on 00 Agent under 2:05 for Invincibility. First learn a route that completes every objective, then reduce pauses and unnecessary detours. A faster run with a failed objective is still a failed run. Facility also demands flexibility because Dr. Doak can appear in different locations.

Separate earned progress from cheat play

Unlocked cheats are enjoyable for replaying missions, but active cheats prevent ordinary progress through unbeaten mission and difficulty combinations. Disable them before trying to earn a new clear or timed reward. Record which objective or movement cost the most time after a near miss, then practise that part instead of restarting without a change. Egyptian's All Guns reward uses a 6:00 target on 00 Agent. Its Golden Gun room requires a specific floor-tile route, so consult a diagram before risking an otherwise successful attempt.

Finish the hardest collection of clears

Completing all 20 stages, including both bonus stages, on 00 Agent unlocks 007 mode. This mode lets you adjust enemy health, damage, accuracy and reaction speed for custom single-player experiments. It is a reward beyond reaching the story ending, so use the mission marks to track it as a separate goal. Keep a successful standard-difficulty route available when experimenting, and change one setting at a time so you can understand how it affects an encounter.

FIELD NOTE

For Egyptian, the required 00 Agent clears include Aztec as well as the 18 main stages.
