My Favorite Stealth Sequence in Beyond Good and Evil

…well, it’s certainly one of my two or three favorites in the game. And it’s probably the hardest non-optional stealth room in the game. Because I couldn’t screenshot from within the game, I took this shot with a digital camera. You’ve got to climb down that ladder, hide behind the crates at the base of the ladder until the guard’s back is turned, then pull a U-turn around the center pipe to come up behind the two guards at the right. Now comes the hard part. The guard at the door stands still and pivots around every so often. The other paces in a circular pattern. You’ve got to wait until the pacing guard is moving towards the door, then follow behind him, making sure that the guard at the door doesn’t see you. You can then duck behind the whitish vent until both guard’s backs are turned, but then you’ve got to move within inches of the guard at the door to actually get through the door. Even on my fifth playthrough, I can’t get it the first time. I remember trying forever on my first run through the game. It just seemed like the right thing to post about for this site’s 100th post.

Anyone else remember this part?
