In the mission "Old Boy," Jesse Faden ventures into the heart of the Research Sector to track down Marshall and uncover more about the Hiss invasion. This objective tasks you with navigating the labyrinthine Research labs, solving a terminal puzzle based on Dr. Darling’s intricate notes, and surviving intense combat encounters against Hiss-corrupted rangers. The primary reward for overcoming these challenges is the acquisition of the Shield ability, a vital defensive power obtained from the Home Safe Object of Power that allows Jesse to block incoming projectiles using a barrier of telekinetic debris. This mission serves as a pivotal narrative bridge, introducing Dr. Darling's critical research videos that decode the hidden nature of the Oldest House.
