When the doors break, Jimmy runs inside to face Earnest. At the same time, Nerds will appear at the windows and along the roof of the observatory to throw firecrackers and shoot rockets at you - use the Spud Cannon to take them out as they appear. You've got to shoot the observatory doors until they buckle and break open - there's a health bar that shows you how close you are. Open the gate with, and run up to the Spud Cannon. You can now leave cover - there's two Nerds guarding the gates, but they're not too difficult to deal with. Take out the transformer and Earnest abandons his post, running into the observatory to hide. You could also duck down the line of pillars to get a shot from closer, but if you can do it from a distance then that would be the safest tactic. Use to move out slowly until you can see the transformer but not Earnest. Get into first person mode with your slingshot by pressing twice, and turn towards the observatory. There are two nerds across from you - use your slingshot to take them out without needing to leave cover. Stay where you are for now you're covered by the cliff face which prevents Earnest from hitting you with his cannon. To get through, you're going to have to take out the transformer beside Earnest that controls the gate locks. Once through the doorway, Earnest will make his appearance, manning the Spud Cannon on top of the observatory's entrance arch. This isn't a checkpoint, though: fail whilst attacking the spud cannon or observatory doors, then you'll find Jimmy outside the Infirmary and you'll have to start the task again. As you reach the end of the path you'll come to a crude corrugated iron doorway pass through and it will close behind you, so you can't go back to retrieve any cola or weapons from the nerds you've already felled. Assuming you're fully armed and in full health, then they have nothing that you need from them. You can also ignore them and run the gauntlet: keep your speed up and they won't land too many hits. However, if you use your slingshot, it's pretty easy to take them all out from a distance which makes the ordeal easier. As you follow the path, Nerds will attack you with firecrackers, bottle rockets and stink bombs. On the south side of the Library you'll find a narrow alleyway, with Bucky blocking your way.Ī couple of punches and he'll tell you the access code for the gate leading to the nerds' HQ. Outside the library, you'll find a group of Nerds - land a couple of blows on whichever one's marked by the arrow, and you'll be told he's in the Observatory. They're none too keen to help you though, so Petey suggests you'll have to take on their leader, Earnest, to get the rest of them to fall in. Starts: Bullworth Academy Library If you're going to get the Jocks, you'll need to have backup from their arch-enemies, the Nerds.
