* Fight the with Anton Girdeux certainly counts. Girdeux wearing body armor that makes your guns ineffective and armed with a [[OneHitKill One Hit Kill]] flamethrower the moment the flames touches Gabe. Gabe improvises and hits his weak spot where the fuel for the flamethrower are.
** When Gabe defeats him, he does an [[UnflinchingWalk unflinching]] [[PowerWalk walk]] away from Girdeux as he bursts into flames and burns to death, while calming radioing in the CBDC to go ahead to defuse the bomb.
* Gabe doing the cinematic jump in the Pharcom expo center. He drops down what looks to be [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat several stories]] into the main floor, as enemies come down on him.
* Completing the Rhoemer's Base mission in stealth. Gabe silently dispatch all the guards and the commander in charge without raising a single alarm.
** Then Gabe trips the silent alarm coming into the next level.
* The helicopter battle in Rhoemer's Base Tower, dodging and destroying the helicopter as it flies in to attack and drop mooks down. Complete with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjCu-ATjuOI one of the best tracks]] in the first game.
** Comes with another cutscene where Gabe jumps several stories as the helicopter and tower explodes and he survives with seemly no injuries. He does this a lot.
* In the Pharcom warehouses, Gabe is caught between in an intense firefight between Rhoemer's men and Phagan's guards. One of the most memorable missions as the combat and action just doesn't stop.

[[folder:Syphon Filter 2]]

Syphon Filter 2 is filled with awesome moments with Gabe and Lian defying all odds.



* At the end of the first mission, Gabe does what he does best, dodging missiles by jumping off a mountain cliff and LIVES.
** The premise of being outnumbered, outgunned and your allies dying left and right during this mission as enemy paratroopers come in by the dozens in the attempt to eliminate Gabe. He overcomes them all and manages to save a few CBDC allies.
* Lian while sick and unarmed manages to escape from an Airbase while not harming any of the neutral G.I.s that have nothing to do with the Agency[[labelnote:*]]Hand Taser only knocks them out [[/labelnote]]. Manages to sabotage the fighters attempting to bomb Gabe and his men, kill one of the Agency's named villains and has enough strength to fly a helicopter to rescue Gabe.
* At the Colorado Bridge mission, Gabe takes out an entire convoy of enemies and stops them from blowing up the state highway by silently killing the commander and defusing all the bombs.
** When Archer shows up to take care of blowing up the bridge himself, Gabe does his [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat jump]] into a '''MOVING''' train below.
* The [[LocomotiveLevel train]] missions are this. Gabe killing mooks left and right, jumping down from a helicopter all while jumping between train segments as he attempts to stop the train from crashing into a destroyed bridge.
** Goes with one of the best tracks that resonates with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF61E_JgdHk high adrenaline]] this mission gives off.
* Gabe landing at the crash site to recover the data discs. He goes up alone against Archer's [[EliteMooks elite men]] and [[DiscOneFinalBoss Archer]] himself in the inferno of the crash site in one of the most tense missions in the first disc. He then snipes Archer with a headshot while he is several hundred meters above in a moving helicopter. It is also the first time the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI10urg3_bk boss theme]] plays, which is very fittingly named.
** You can tell Archer's men are [[OhCrap spooked]] once they see Gabe parachuting down, they immediately ask for reinforcements.
** Bonus points if the player completes this mission on HARD mode. All enemies will do an instant death headshot if not eliminated quickly.
** Another point if player manages to [[ImprobableAimingSkills snipe]] Archer with a ''SINGLE'' shot in hard mode[[labelnote:*]]Manual aim isn't centered in hard mode. [[/labelnote]], which unlocks a collectible.
* In the start of the second disk, Gabe dons his very cool {{Ninja}} suit as his stealth outfit as he returns to the [[NostalgiaLevel Pharcom expo center]] to stop [[ClimaxBoss Morgan]] from getting the backup data discs Phagan had made copies of. He even starts with a crossbow!
* The fight with Jason Chance at the end of 2, ending with Jason getting shot with an USAS-12 into the tail rotors of a parked Apache helicopter, which counts as an awesome CruelAndUnusualDeath for him "killing" Teresa.
