Chapter 38: Command Deck

After the initial scene, drop down to the Command Deck. A blue power core is in front of you; its strength is shown by a blue status bar. If it's destroyed, you fail.

Prepare for a difficult onslaught. Enemies will be deployed regularly by gunships and zeppelins. You can call Songbird to attack enemy vehicles; he instantly kills targeted vehicles but requires about 30 seconds to recharge.

Tears are available around the area:

• Crate of medical kits in the cabin behind the core.

Piece of cover on the upper deck to the right of the core.

Piece of cover on the upper deck to the left of the core.

Crate of medical kits left of the core on the lower deck.

Crate of medical kits at the far end of the raised walkway on the left.

Sniper rifle and ammo on the sniper platform at the top of the area.

The attack plays out in waves:

• Wave 1: First gunship drops enemies at the front. Use Songbird to destroy the ship and eliminate remaining enemies.

Wave 2: Two gunships drop 3-4 Vox soldiers each on the upper walkways (left and right). Kill them all.

Wave 3: One gunship drops 2-3 Vox soldiers and two rocketeers near the front. A barge with a rapid-fire rocket turret hovers at the front. Use Songbird on one enemy, deal with the other yourself.

Wave 4: A zeppelin approaches from the back right, launching two pods with motorized patriots at the far end of the deck. Use Songbird to destroy the zeppelin. Simultaneously, a gunship drops Vox soldiers on an upper platform, and another barge with a rocket turret hovers at the front. Destroy the rocket turret ASAP, then deal with other enemies.

Wave 5: A zeppelin approaches from the back left, launching two pods with motorized patriots at the far end of the deck. . Simultaneously, two gunships drop a Vox rocketeer each on the upper platforms. Prioritize taking out the rocketeers before the patriots.

Wave 6: A zeppelin approaches from the back right, launching two pods with motorized patriots at the far end of the deck. . Simultaneously, a gunship drops 5-6 Vox soldiers at the far end of the deck.

If you are in trouble, use Songbird to attack the deck area to eliminate enemies.

Place traps around the core's base and stairs. Shock Jockey is effective for crowd control. Grab a patriot's crank gun for easier combat against infantry and patriots, especially when using Vigors or targeting weak spots.

Continue defending until all enemy waves are defeated.

Once the fight is over, join Elizabeth near the railing at the far end of the deck and interact with her to trigger a scene.
