Mission 17: Before dawn
Freeing the prisoners
Have a look at this map. Run with your spy to the
inner yard with the prison (he is green encircled). When the blue encircled
guard marches away from you, inject the red encircled guard. The blue one will
see him and come to investigate; inject him too (on the same spot).
Now run and stand behind the orange encircled guard. When the yellow and white
encircled guards are marching away from you, inject the orange encircled
guard, followed by the white encircled guard. The yellow encircled guard will
see the body of the orange one, and come to investigate. The pink encircled
guard will see him run (in most of the cases) and join the investigation.
Inject them too. (If the pink encircled guard doesn't join the investigation,
lure him to a nice spot by putting a body on a strategic place).
Now run and stand behind the red ensquared guard and select the scan view of
the pink ensquared guard. When pink isn't looking, inject the red one. The
pink will come to investigate; inject him too (on the same spot). Distract the
blue ensquared guard, so he will see the bodies and go for an investigate;
inject him too (on the same spot).
Now run Mr. Gilbert to the north-east corner of the prison, along the white
arrow. The problem is, that you open the prison, and the green ensquared
patrol spots the prisoners, they will start to shoot. Now open the gate (use
the yellow ensquared lever) and distract the green ensquared guard, so you can
hide Mr. Gilbert (and his comrades) safely in the building west of the
prisoner (the entrance is white ensquared).
Preparations for the river cross
Have a look at this map. Run with your spy to the
mobile bridge and activate it. Then distract the red encircled guard so he is
facing eastwards (your spy is green encircled). Move your marine and beret to
where they are now (they are yellow encircled); watch out for the pink
encircled guards' scan view. Now wait until the yellow ensquared patrol
marches away from you (to the other side of the river) and the pink encircled
guard starts marching northwards. Knife the blue and red encircled guards with
your beret and run back to your marine. The pink encircled guard will see the
bodies and start wondering what on earth is happening here (in other words, he
won't come to investigate). The white encircled guard will come to
investigate. Now inject the pink encircled guard (when the white encircled
guard is running to the bodies), move his body to the point where he is
walking now and inject (or shoot) the white encircled guard. Join the rest of
your time with your spy. The yellow and green ensquared patrols will see the
pink encircled guards body and come to investigate. As soon as they are in
the area, start shooting from your position, so they will come to you. Shoot
them down.
Crossing the river
Crossing the river with your spy is not a challenge, but for the rest of your
team, leave out Mr Gilbert and his men, it is a bit more difficult. For the
final trick, your beret is needed on the other side of the river and on the
east side of the map. Have a look at this map. Run
with your spy to where he is now (he is green encircled) and move your marine
and beret to where they are now (they are yellow encircled; while they move,
watch out for the red encircled guards' scan view). When the blue encircled
guard stands where he is now, inject him (I think the red encircled guard has
an eye on him, which means he should not see the moment of injection).
Then inject the white encircled guard and hide his body at the white cross;
while doing this, mind the pink ensquared patrol. Once he is down, distract the
red encircled guard, so he is facing westwards. Now it is save to put your
boat into the water, and row your beret to the other side of the river (along
the yellow arrow).
Clearing the bridge
Have a look at this map. Move your marine to where he
is now (he is yellow encircled); he can dive almost the whole route, except
for the bridge. Run with your spy (green encircled) to the pink ensquared
patrol and distract them so they are facing northwards. When you stand up with
your marine, all remaining guards on this side of the river will eventually
take you under shot. Now select the scan range of the bunker on the other side
and use it to knife the blue encircled machine gunner with your beret (the
bunker should not the moment of knifing). Apply the same tactic for any guards
that are standing in its long range view. Knifing the rest of the guards is
too easy. Now it is time for Mr. Gilbert and his men to come out of their
hiding place. Move them to the
white cross on the bridge; when the bunkers scan view moves away, run to the
escape vehicle. The bunker will start shooting at you, but he will miss. Run
to escape vehicle with your marine and beret and finally,
send your spy there.
