Part 16

Head south and west towards the church, using the graveyard or walkway, and recharge in a small recess by stone columns.

Descend to street level using stairs, turn right, go around a trailer, and melee the mesh entry gate.

Obtain the icon to open the inner doorway. You can engage Cell enemies in the sheltered entryway if necessary, but it is not required.

Proceed into the catacombs and observe a cloaked alien; you can shoot at it, but it will move away. The chapter ends as you follow it.

In Chapter 7: Dead Man Walking, your mission is to infiltrate the C.E.L.L. facility to find Nathan Gould and the “Deep Scan Cradle” to learn about the Nanosuit.

Dr. Gould will explain his research with Prophet on Nanosuit biofeedback and the need to continue with Alcatraz.

Tactical Options:

• Snipe: Eliminate the rooftop sniper and visible Cell mates.

Infiltrate: Access the sky bridge to reach the HGR/Finance Building rooftop.

Resupply: The rooftop café offers ammo, weapons, JAW Launchers, C4, and a garrison of about a dozen troops.

Enter: Use the ground-level entrance to regain the skybridge.

Activate cloak to survey the roofs below. There are four Cell sentries on the left rooftop and one on the right.

Back off to recharge at the “Snipe” position.

Eliminate the visible targets on the roofs below with the silenced DSG-1, starting with the lone hostile on the right.

Use Nanovision (a vision mode that highlights enemies) to locate targets if needed.

Shoot through the cloak and retreat to recharge or use the roofline for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).

Once the five sentries are eliminated, activate armor and fall to the roof below.

Take out any remaining Cell sentry on the rooftop.

Cloak, go onto the fragile glass roof to shorten the jump, and leap to the adjacent rooftop, activating armor mid-flight to cushion your landing.

Take cover behind ductwork to recharge and grab ammo from the sniper’s resting place near an ammo crate.

Across the way, you will see three HMG mounts on the opposite rooftop, which is your entry point but heavily defended.

Select “Infiltrate.” A DSG-1 is available near the ammo crate if you do not have one; a Marshall weapon is also recommended.

Expect JAW rockets directed at you from hidden hostiles on the opposite roof.

Continue east toward the skywalk, jumping the narrow alley to the adjacent building.

Cross the skywalk to infiltrate the enemy strongpoint atop the HGR/Finance Building’s rooftop café.

Engage the two Cell guards in the skywalk. The second may sound the alarm.

Cell troops will man HMGs on the far roof. Pick them off with headshots, ducking into cover to recharge.

Remove the silencer from the DSG-1 as they are aware of your presence.

Use Nanovision to help locate enemies more easily.

Clear the rooftop café without advancing onto the skywalk. Use windows in the hall on your right for better angles.

If you delay, Cell troops may advance onto the skywalk, especially on higher difficulties.

Always stay near cover, shoot through the cloak, and return to cover after each shot.

Wipe out all enemies before proceeding to the skywalk’s far end, which will trigger the arrival of a Cell gunship.

Advance, and the gunship will enter the action. Use the JAW Rocket Launcher to take it down.

If you lack a JAW Rocket Launcher from prior missions, several are available in the lower area, along with C4 at the “Resupply” option. Some Cell troops may also drop them randomly.

It is advisable to top off your JAW rockets and C4 whenever possible. Ensure you have a Marshall weapon, as it will be useful later.

Note on Collectible: To find the “Car Key” collectible, make your way to street level. With the rooftop café secured, use the height to snipe any visible Cell operatives below, including the APC gunner. Activate armor and fall off the roof’s edge near the HMG closest to the skybridge. You will land on ramped staging that leads to ground level. Start west, follow the building’s stone terrace, veer south, and recharge as needed. Go down the short stairwell to find the “Car Key.”
