  8. 8
    Take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) next to the large statue in the middle of the area.

Tips
  • On Insane difficulty, do not let a Locust approach you at point-blank range, as their melee attacks can instantly kill Marcus.
  • When plugging Emergence Holes, be careful if running up to them to throw a grenade; take cover immediately afterward.
  • Flanking is crucial for taking out Troikas and large groups of enemies.
  • Grenades regenerate, so pick them up if needed.
  • On Insane, after sealing the first two holes in the courtyard battle, hide behind the wall between the two long roads for easier enemy engagement.
