Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the current room and proceed right, then left, to find yourself outside another room leading to scaffolding. You can choose to enter this room or bypass it.
  2. 2
    Upon reaching the scaffolding, look to your right to spot a black-suit enemy on a bridge at the far end. You can snipe him.
  3. 3
    Turn around and take cover near the right side of the doorway. Two more thugs will approach from where you came. Use Bullet Time and your preferred weapon to eliminate them.
  4. 4
    Exit the room and head left towards the door at the far end. A black-suit enemy will emerge as you approach. Defeat him and enter the room.
  5. 5
    Inside, kill the black-suit enemy who is climbing up. If you did not kill the thug on the bridge earlier, there will be another thug camping on the platform below. Eliminate him and descend.
  6. 6
    Take the only doorway available.
  7. 7
    Head left until you reach a bridge. If you did not approach the scaffolding earlier, two thugs will be on the other side. Otherwise, proceed directly to the other side.
  8. 8
    As you enter the bridge, a thug will appear on the opposite side. Use Shootdodge backwards or forwards to kill him.
  9. 9
    Cross the bridge and peek around the corner to your left to find several thugs. Reveal yourself, and they will retreat up a staircase. Two more enemies will then pursue you. Use cover or Bullet Time with a rapid-fire weapon to defeat them.
  10. 10
    Collect the five painkillers. Head left and peek around the top of the staircase to find two more thugs. Eliminate them, then proceed to the right side of the room.
  11. 11
    Go down the stairs and ramps. You will encounter two black-suits while descending. Kill them and enter the large hall one floor below.
  12. 12
    In the hall, there are three thugs. You can use the box on the right for cover to eliminate them, or charge them using Bullet Time, shooting them and the surrounding cylinders.
  13. 13
    After clearing the hall, descend the stairs on the other side.
  14. 14
    Two thugs are positioned on the right, and two are at the top of the stairs on the left. Use the M4 Carbine and Bullet Time, prioritizing the thugs on the right. After dispatching them, shoot the cylinder atop the left staircase platform, causing the two thugs on the ramp to run down. Kill them.
  15. 15
    Head down the staircase, eliminating the two thugs you encounter. At the bottom level, take cover behind the left side of the doorway and wait for two more thugs to approach. Kill them as they near the doorway.
  16. 16
    Exit and run towards the large crate ahead.
  17. 17
    Look up at the scaffolding to find two more thugs. Snipe them.
  18. 18
    Walk forward and proceed to the large yellow crane on the left. Turn left, move forward, and ascend the ramp.
  19. 19
    Head towards the single cabin on the left. Go to its left side, collect the painkillers, and hide behind the large crate/box.
  20. 20
    Two thugs will arrive after finishing their conversation. Kill them.
  21. 21
    Head to the left side corner and enter the lift. Use it to trigger a cut-scene.
Tips
  • Consider sniping the black-suit on the bridge early for a cinematic kill.
  • Utilize Bullet Time extensively, especially in close-quarters combat and against multiple enemies.
  • The M4 Carbine is effective against groups of enemies when combined with Bullet Time.
  • Shooting the cylinders can be an effective way to deal with groups of enemies in the large hall.
  • Conserve painkillers if possible, but use them when necessary to survive tough encounters.
