Detailed walkthrough for the Upper Route of the mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Includes tips for handling Soviet troops, capturing bases, and destroying key targets.
Walkthrough
- 1Start with Tanya and an artillery unit. Eliminate the initial Soviet soldiers.
- 2Move Tanya south to pick off a Soviet soldier near barrels, but do not shoot the barrels to avoid killing the Allied medic.
- 3Guide Tanya west through civilian buildings, dealing with Soviet troops hidden in trees.
- 4Continue west until reaching water. Eliminate Soviet troops dropped by a transport before they can move.
- 5Approach the Soviet base from the south. Use Tanya to eliminate soldiers on the west side.
- 6Use artillery to destroy the flame tower near the barracks. Park artillery west of the tower, above the tree, to avoid it driving too close. Do not shoot barrels near the base to avoid killing the engineer and medic.
- 7After destroying the flame tower, use Tanya to eliminate remaining Soviet troops.
- 8Optionally, use the engineer to capture the Construction Yard. Optionally, destroy the Tech Center to get a crate with 2000 credits.
- 9Proceed east, underneath the base, with Tanya and artillery.
- 10Deal with Soviet soldiers north of the fenced area.
- 11Head north to a water crossing. Shoot barrels near the water to kill an attacking dog.
- 12Cross the water, staying to the far left to avoid a V2 rocket.
- 13Eliminate paratroopers attacking from the left.
- 14Continue north along the left edge of the water.
- 15Blast barrels encountered further north.
- 16Head right until forced to move down. Order Tanya south past trees; a V2 rocket should fire and miss.
- 17Shoot the barrels next to the V2 Rocket after it misses to destroy it.
- 18Cross the first bridge without destroying it.
- 19Eliminate soldiers in the trees.
- 20Destroy barrels between the two northern-most bridges to destroy the upper bridge.
- 21Use Tanya to detonate the lower of the two northern-most bridges.
- 22Turn south and shoot barrels to the right of the bridge to destroy it.
- 23Have Tanya detonate the first bridge crossed to end the mission.
Tips
- Avoid shooting barrels near Allied personnel (medics, engineers) to prevent their accidental death.
- Position artillery carefully to avoid it driving into danger or getting stuck.
- Stay to the far left when crossing water to avoid V2 rocket attacks.
- Use environmental hazards (barrels) to your advantage to destroy enemy units and structures efficiently.
- Capturing the Construction Yard and destroying the Tech Center are optional objectives that provide bonuses but are not required to complete the mission.
