Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by picking up a collectible paper on the desk behind you.
  2. 2
    Head into the hallway and follow the lady to a room on the left. Hug the left wall to find another collectible on a dinner tray near the cots.
  3. 3
    Return to the hall and enter the next door on the right.
  4. 4
    In the following room, a collectible is on the table in front of Jack.
  5. 5
    Go back into the hallway, proceed, and go up the stairs. Take a couple of rights and talk to Anya.
  6. 6
    Follow the objective marker to witness Nash being attacked. Clear the polyps.
  7. 7
    Turn right and go up the stairs.
  8. 8
    At the top, you'll encounter the Drudge. Shoot its glowing belly.
  9. 9
    Head left, shoot the Drudge by the edge, and go up the stairs to your right to activate the dock lift. Watch the cutscene with Prescott.
  10. 10
    Proceed through the gardens to find a vantage point to watch a movie.
  11. 11
    Cross the deck, taking cover and aiming for glowing parts to deal with the Lambent.
  12. 12
    After clearing the Lambent with a Raven's help, go to the back left corner of the deck. Shoot the hanging Gear body to obtain his tags.
  13. 13
    Head for the stairs on the right to reach the catwalk. Go through the door at the end, triggering a cutscene.
  14. 14
    Turn around and backtrack. Before descending the stairs, use your height advantage to clear the Lambent below.
  15. 15
    Return to the deck and head back towards the lifts, clearing enemies as you go.
  16. 16
    Once the area is clear, a COG will raise the lift. Use it to cross to the other side of the deck.
  17. 17
    Cross over and return to the area where you first met the Drudge. Go down the stairs to where Nash died.
  18. 18
    Pick up the extinguisher and put out the fire, aiming slightly higher than you think necessary.
  19. 19
    Proceed through the hall, taking out any Lambent encountered.
  20. 20
    At the end of the hall, turn right to save Prescott.
Tips
  • The Drudge can mutate, so be prepared for changes in its behavior.
  • Lambent enemies can be challenging; utilize cover and aim for their weak points.
  • The extinguisher can be finicky; adjust your aim if it doesn't work initially.
