Detailed walkthrough for Mission 4: Area 51 - Escape in The Long Dark. Includes objectives, tips, and strategies to locate alien tech, rendezvous with a spy, and escape.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rendezvous with CI spy: Immediately grab the alien with B, then run forward and out the door. Continue down the hall and through the door at the end. Go right, kill the two guards, and proceed through the large brown door. While still carrying the alien, go right and through the steel door. Leave the alien, turn around, and return to where you killed the two guards. Use the door on the right, kill the guard inside, navigate to the back of the room, and go down the hallway at the end. Use the door here. Kill all guards, collect their ammo and Superdragons. Go left through the steel door. Turn left and follow the brown catwalk to another steel door. Kill any guards, enter the room, face right, and find the CI spy.
  2. 2
    Locate alien tech medpack: Before leaving the spy's location, push a nearby barrel to the right side of the room near the glass. Shoot the barrel to make it explode. Walk through the broken glass and activate the control panel. Turn around, run past the red area, and kill the guard. Enter the first door on the right to find the Alien tech medpack. Return to the CI Spy.
  3. 3
    Locate secret hangar: Head back to the brown catwalk, ensuring the CI spy follows. Open the door at the end and use the Superdragon's grenade launcher to eliminate the guards. The CI spy will then set explosives on a wall to create an entrance to the hangar. Protect the spy. Once the wall is blown up, go through the hole to complete this objective.
  4. 4
    Revive Maian bodyguard: Kill the guard ahead, turn left, and go down the ramp. Locate the Hover Bike and go through the brown door under the ramp. Use the Alien Medpack on the Maian, and wait for the revival.
  5. 5
    Escape from Area 51: After the cutscene, exit the room and run past the ramp, protecting Elvis. Proceed to the spaceship. After the conversation, you have two options:
    • Option 1: Follow Jonathan and stay behind him until he stops. Then, move in front of him to cover him as he opens the hangars, completing the final objective.
  6. 6
    Option 2: Follow Jonathan and run ahead of him before he stops. You will need to open the hangar. Go up the catwalk, follow the two paths, and activate both control panels. Return down the ramp and get on the Hover Bike. Ride through the door beneath the ramp, go right, down the hall, right again, and follow the long hallway until it ends. Go right down the ramp to the end. Kill the guard, go through the door, veer left, and go through the upper-left door. Follow the hallway until it turns right, then go right. In the next room, turn left and go through the left door. Finally, go through the left door again and ride outside to escape Area 51 and end Mission 4.
