Complete walkthrough for Command & Conquer: Red Alert's Upper Route mission 8. Learn how to deploy your MCV, build defenses, and destroy Allied bases to win.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Deploy your MCV, then build a power plant and an ore refinery above it. Defend against initial unit attacks with tanks and V2 rockets.
  2. 2
    Build an advanced power plant and a war factory as quickly as possible. Place a Tesla Coil on the southern edge of your base, near the cliff.
  3. 3
    Focus on building power plants and Tesla Coils for defense: one near the ore refinery, at least two by the southern cliff, and two or three on the west side.
  4. 4
    Begin building Mammoth tanks and a few V2 rockets.
  5. 5
    Use your scout plane to explore the map, primarily diagonally down and left from your base.
  6. 6
    Once you have about ten Mammoth tanks, advance down the main path towards the Allied base. Be cautious of mines; stop to let damaged tanks regenerate if necessary.
  7. 7
    Use V2 rockets to destroy Allied boats in the water to protect your Mammoth tanks.
  8. 8
    Position your Mammoth tanks on the outer edge of the Allied base and advance slowly, allowing V2 rockets to target approaching threats.
  9. 9
    Once V2 rockets cease firing, move your tanks in to destroy the Allied base.
  10. 10
    Locate the Chronosphere in the bottom-left corner. Do not approach it before destroying all radar domes, as it will detonate and cause mission failure. Be ready to use V2 rockets to defend it if Allied units attack it.
  11. 11
    Destroy a radar dome located in a small building area south of the main Allied base. Use V2 rockets for defenses, then land paratroopers to clear the area.
  12. 12
    Destroy another radar dome in a group of buildings north of the Chronosphere. Use V2 rockets to clear defenses from the east cliff, then land paratroopers to eliminate remaining structures.
  13. 13
    Advance north and destroy the next group of Allied buildings with tanks.
  14. 14
    Conquer the final Allied building cluster in the north-west corner, near the western bridge. Use V2 rockets to sink nearby boats, then destroy base defenses.
  15. 15
    Use a rifleman rush for the remaining base structures. Send riflemen south over the bridge; be aware that Allied fire can destroy the bridge. Use infantry to clear areas not destroyed by V2 rockets.
  16. 16
    Drop paratroopers in the bottom-left of the map. Destroy the barracks above them.
  17. 17
    Move east and destroy the tech center north of the Chronosphere. This is the final Allied objective.
Tips
  • Surviving the initial attacks is the hardest part of the mission. Build ample power plants and Tesla Coils.
  • If all radar domes are destroyed, the Chronosphere's destruction will not cause mission failure.
  • Be mindful of mines when advancing with Mammoth tanks; allow damaged units to regenerate health.
  • Use V2 rockets effectively against both naval units and base defenses.
  • Paratroopers are useful for clearing out buildings after initial defenses are weakened.
  • A rifleman rush can be effective for finishing off remaining structures.
  • Always stay clear of the Chronosphere until all radar domes are destroyed.
