The Great Escape (original) walkthrough: The Cooler King

This covers Mission 6: The Cooler King from the PS2 version of The Great Escape.

Here's the original walkthrough I wrote for this mission:

Mission 6: The Cooler King

Character: Hilts
Inventory: Nothing
Objective(s): Get the Lock pick Get the Official German Stamp Get the Ink and Paper

Get the Lock pick

Walk straight ahead and press the "action" button to talk to the Officer. After he's done make a right and head to hut 7. look through the keyhole to make sure a Guard isn't coming then run into hut 7 and grab the Lock pick.

Get the Official German Stamp

Run to the right side door of hut 7 and look through the keyhole. Wait for the Guard and spotlight to move away from the open gate then run out the door and around the right hand corner of the cooler. Run around the back side of the building to the left side, there should be two trash cans here.

Save your Game.

Equip the Lock pick and peek around the corner to see when the Guard walks away from you. Run into the cooler and to the back cell. Press "action" at the door until the energy bar at the bottom of the screen disappears. Walk into the cell and press "action" to talk to the prisoner. He gives you the German Army Stamp.

Get the Ink and Paper

Quickly run out of the cooler (a Yellow Cone might appear on the Compass but don't panic) and back around the way you came. Once again wait for any Guards to go by and for the spotlight to move away, then run back into the hut 7. From here make a right and run up the corridor to the door. Look through the keyhole and wait for the Guard to the right (the one patrolling the cooler) and the Guard to the left to walk away from you, then run out the door here. Wait for the guard (the one patrolling the cooler) and the spotlight to move away from you then run out the door and straight ahead to hut 4. In here run into the first room on the left and get the Ink and Paper off the table.

New Objective: Visit the Forger

run back to the front door and wait for the Guard and spotlight to move away from you then run straight into the next hut. Make a right, then another right and talk to the Forger.

New Objective: Obtain the Map

Run back to hut 4 and into the first room on the right.

Save your Game.

Press "action" twice to start the distraction, he walks out of the barracks and starts acting like a drunk. A 30 second timer starts, wait for the Soldier and the spotlight to move away from the door, then run through the gate and into the building. Get the Map off the desk then run back into hut 4.

New Objective: Get the Forged Pass

You shouldn't have to worry about the Guard or the spotlight; you should still have 15 seconds left so all you really need to watch for is the guard. Run back to the Forger. Talk to him and he'll give you the German Army Permit.

New Objective: Exit the Camp by using the Tunnel

Run out the right hand side of the hut and through the next two into hut 1. In hut 1 make a right and talk to the Tunneler. press "action" to move the bunk bed then walk over to the hole. A cinematic shows the Tunneler getting trapped.

New Objective: Free trapped POW

Quickly move the bunk bed back over the hole. A Guard comes to investigate the noise, go into First person until he's done doing the search. When he leaves run up to the corridor and look through the keyhole. Make sure no Guards are coming to you then run into hut 5. Run down the corridor and talk to Goldman. He gives you the Trowel. Head back to hut 1 and move the bunk bed away from the hole then climb down the ladder. Crawl over to the trapped POW and press "action". Watch the cinematic.

At Blockbuster once, then again under the Christmas tree. :P

You can find it at Gamestop, I've seen it there before.

[educortazarc]

i laughed when i got to the distractio part... it was avery entretaining game

[Foofighter18]

Yeah it's a pretty sweet game. :)

[dcarr17]

ic, you kno i think you do these camp missions the hard way you dont open the door and have the guard say what are you doing then when he turns around you choke his ass but hell whatever works u kno

[Foofighter18]

That choke was improvised. I was planning to do that in the over all scheme of things when I begun the mission.

lol narratior: "where he made a GENIUS escape plan of his own" *Hilts gets caught*

[jimmyhopkinns]

is this the wally floody game

[katnoriya]

what is the unlimited ammo cheat?

[Foofighter18]

For some reason I fell in love with this game because it was a blend of WWII & stealth. Because of this I use to play like every other day. So I guess about 20 or 30 times before I knew them by heart. To be honest the bit where you have to get inside the cooler and take that stamp is a bitch even for me. You can save the game (mid level) 4 times. So any spot that's troubling just save before that point. Also be patient too, don't try to speed run it. The guards are dumb but they can be a pain.
