Parting of the Ways

Proceed forward to a neon light, then turn left. Walk until you find a large glowing blue light and approach it to gain the Cinder Blast power.

Use the R2 button to shoot down nearby drones and absorb the shards. If you run out of smoke, absorb smoke from a car by pressing the touchpad.

Shoot down the remaining three bots and absorb all shards.

Follow the path to a blue bus. Attempting to shoot the concrete shards in front of it will fail.

Press the Options button and upgrade Cinder Blast to enable a charged shot (hold R2). This functions like a shotgun, requiring close range for maximum damage.

Destroy the small barricades with the charged shot, then proceed to destroy the larger one ahead.

Enter the tunnel and follow the street. You will encounter looters for your first real fight. Use dashing, chain attacks, or shooting to defeat them. Destroy cars in the tunnel to refill smoke if needed.

After defeating the last looter, you will have the option to kill or subdue him.

Exit the tunnel and drop to the lower street. Continue straight ahead to find another glowing power-up.

Collect the energy from this power-up to learn how to gain extra air using cars. Jump onto a nearby car and then jump from it to gain height. While in the air, use the dash button for more distance to reach the next ledge.

Car Boost: This ability allows you to use a car as a springboard for significant height. The car can be moving or stationary. While crouching before launching, moving in your desired direction provides extra forward momentum.

Cross the section and drop down again. Continue straight along the street until you reach another power juncture.

Absorb the energy at this juncture to learn how to glide.

Gliding: Gliding allows you to cross longer distances in the air without falling as fast. It slows your descent but you will still fall at a proportionate rate. To maximize height, jump, then dash, then glide.

Jump towards the small section of water ahead and press and hold the jump button in mid-air to glide across the gap.

Move along the asphalt islands in the water until you reach an elevated section of bridge.

Spring off a car and press jump again to glide to the next landing. Jump over the cars on the bending bridge and head to the other end.

Use the car hanging near the edge to spring off. In the air, press the O button to dash, then press X to glide the rest of the way across the large gap.

Land on another section of bridge and then jump and glide down to the islands below. You can reach the second island with your first jump.

Continue along the islands. The bus will fall, but you will see Reggie in the distance.

Keep moving forward. When you get close enough to Reggie, Delsin will automatically dash over to help him.
