Your friendly guide to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's 'The Death of Father Frost' mission. Learn how to destroy reactors, statues, Tesla coils, and the Soviet Navy.
Alright, let's dive into 'The Death of Father Frost' mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. This one's set in Vorkuta and is considered pretty easy, but it's a blast! You'll be playing as Shinzo Yagama, your co-commander, and your main opponent is Oleg (Red). This is your first Imperial Campaign mission, and a key thing to remember is that you don't have any bases to build up. So, try your best not to lose too many units!
Objectives:
- Destroy the Reactors.
- Destroy the Statues around the Square.
- Bring Down the Tesla Coils.
- Destroy the Soviet Navy at Harbor.
Secondary Objectives:
- Destroy all of the Barrackses.
- Capture the Hospital.
New Units Introduced: Imperial Warriors, Tankbusters, Engineers, Shinobi, Sudden Transports, and Yari Mini-Subs.
- 1So, the Soviets are kicking back for New Year's Eve, but we've got other plans – invading! Before you go charging in, here's a pro tip: disguise your Sudden Transports as Bullfrogs on the river. Make sure the disguise is active first! Then, send it in and unload your Imperial Warriors to the west.
- 2Ambush the guards waiting there and then escort your Tankbusters to the Reactor located on the hill to the west. If you have any Final Squadron abilities ready, use them to take out the other Reactor.
- 3Another transport is on its way, this time carrying more Tankbusters (or Imperial Warriors for Shinzo's forces). Your next job is to blow up those Tesla Coils and any Bullfrogs you see – just for fun! After that, take some time to explore the village.
- 4When you run into a Tesla Trooper, your best bet is to garrison a building for cover. Keep an eye out for and destroy all the Barrackses. You'll also find some Engineers arriving soon.
- 5Your next big move is to capture the Hospital right in the middle of the village. While you're at it, make sure to destroy all the Statues scattered around this area.
- 6The Shinobi are hiding out in a building near the western bridge. However, there's a quicker way to hit your next objective: just use Final Squadron on the Reactors to the north! You'll have plenty of these abilities to spare, so feel free to use them on other Soviet Structures too. You might notice a Super Reactor in the southeast, but don't worry about it too much – it's not actively doing anything important.
- 7Once the Tesla Coils are down, the Mini-Subs will show up. Use these Yari Mini-Subs to take out the Soviet Navy waiting at the harbor. Finally, send in all your remaining forces to mop up any enemy ground Soviets left behind.
Putting Heads Together:
- Your Green squad starts with Tankbusters and will get Imperial Warriors after you destroy the Reactors. Use these units to take out the first Reactor, plus the Coils and Bullfrogs.
- Don't forget you can capture some of the Soviet Structures. Doing so can give you extra cash and troops, which is always a nice bonus.
- Keep an eye out for the Shinobi – they're a valuable unit!
- Remember, you don't have a base, so unit preservation is key.
- Use the terrain and buildings for cover when facing Tesla Troopers.
