There are several ways to sneak into the Yellow armor. Since the YA is one
of the most important objects on this level, you need to come up with many
tricky ways to steal it away from an opponent who has control of it.
Similarly, you also need to know all the tricks to stop him from sneaking in.
Here are all the ways you can sneak in to the YA room, and vice versa for your
opponent.
Run The Gauntlet
The most obvious, blatant, and noisy way to get to the YA is to run through
the spike traps in the backside. This is probably the worst
way you can get to the YA. When walking through the spikes, you let your
opponent know exactly where you are. The spikes are loud and can be heard
anywhere on the level. The only time you want to do this is if you know your
opponent is on the opposite side of the level and you can beat him to the YA.
Or, if you respawn in the spikes and are pretty sure you can get to the YA
before your opponent comes back, make a run for it.
Sneaking In and Rocket Jumping
This is probably the best way of sneaking into the YA room. The water under
the spikes area is very shallow -- you don't need to breathe when you are
walking through. You can be totally silent the entire way through. You can
wait around underneath the YA till you're sure your opponent has left the area,
then rocket jump up to the platform. If you pick shirt/pant colors similar to
the color of water, you may be able to camouflage yourself in the water.
You can get to the YA armor in the water from anywhere in the level. Almost
all of the water in the level is connected in some way or another.
Straight from the Grenade Room
This is another alternative to sneaking into the YA room. Though the chances
are if you've made it that far into the GL room, you can probably just walk to
the YA without having to sneak in. However, in the instance that you do need
to sneak in, drop down onto the super nail-gun ledge from the tiny bridge. If
you want to be really sneaky, don't drop onto the super nail-gun. That way,
it only sounds like a drop rather than a drop and then a weapon pick-up.
After you drop down onto the ledge, drop into the water (if you think the YA
area is clear.) Proceed to rocket jump up and get the YA.
