Part 5

After blacking out, you regain consciousness in a warehouse on New York’s Battery Park Pier. Prophet is dead, and you, Alcatraz, have inherited the Nanosuit.

Retrieve the first “Dog Tag” from the bloody table near Prophet’s corpse. You start with an empty M 12 Nova pistol.

Press the “Look” button to find your exit. Break the padlock with a melee blow and proceed through the chamber with corpse-filled mesh containers.

Crouch as prompted and exit the area.

Use the glowing laptop on the central table to learn about the Manhattan contagion and Commander Lockhart’s martial law.

Go up the stairs. Dr. Gould will attempt to contact Prophet.

Leap across the gap.

Push through the doors amidst gunfire; Dr. Gould will instruct you to find the Marines.

Continue through the next door, grab the ledge as prompted, and boost into the hallway overhead.

Open the door and emerge into sunlight. The narrator will announce your Nanosuit is online and the HUD (Heads-Up Display) is operational, providing tactical options.

During a brief cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), two Cell soldiers below will not spot you. They will kill a civilian and move away. The camera will show the “Resupply” option (an ammo crate).

Use the visor to “tag” the two hostiles for easier tracking on your HUD and minimap (radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)).

Select “Resupply” on the HUD to acquire ammo for your M 12 Nova handgun from the ammo box. Raid it again to top off your spare ammo. Always load your gun with inventory ammo first if you have any spare.

Stay behind munitions crates for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Hit “Select” to see weapon options; the M 12 Nova has no stealth capability yet.

You have a choice: select “Take” to get a Scarab assault rifle early, or avoid confrontation and get a Scarab at the waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) ahead.

To reach the waypoint without incident: drop off the barrier wall southeast of “Resupply,” jump to the narrow walkway along the shoreline, take to the water when it ends, and climb back onto the walkway farther along.

If you select “Take,” you will likely confront the Cell troopers. Note their positions via the triangular icon on your HUD and minimap. When they move off, head towards the tactical waypoint, crouching behind the low stonewall. Ascend the short stairwell to acquire the Scarab near the statue.

Your main objective is the blue waypoint on your map. Take cover along the block wall south of the statue, crouching to either elude or ambush patrolling Cell operatives as you pass wrecked tanks.

Unless you linger, battling the two Cell operatives is optional. You can easily elude them or hunt them.

As you enter “Castle Clinton,” the Nanosuit will override and reboot, enabling the “Cloak” ability as you move inside. The narrator will explain the enemy awareness meter and the cloak.
