Follow our expert guide to ace the 'Trash the Stash' mission in Hyper Light Breaker. Learn enemy tactics, Neon management, and safe routes to victory.
Alright, so you've got the 'Trash the Stash' mission, huh? This is the 'Good' version, so if you want the 'Evil' path, you'll need to pick 'Fight Intolerants Instead' later on. First things first, make sure you've liberated the area from the DUP Mobile Command post. Once that's done, Fetch will ping you about some drug dealers causing trouble down on the pier. Let's go sort them out!
- 1The Pier Showdown: You'll start by facing a bunch of drug dealers on the pier. They're not individually tough, but there are a lot of them, so staying mobile is key. Keep an eye out for cover, and more importantly, watch your Neon supply! There are some Neon Signs on top of the smaller shacks, so grab them when you can.
- 2Locate the Drugs: Your next job is to search the docks to find the specific houses where the drugs are stashed. Just move around and investigate until stars pop up, marking the locations.
- 3Tag the Houses: Head to each star. When you arrive, you'll need to clear out any enemies first to make it safe to tag the boat, which is usually on the upper level of the building. Keep an eye out for innocent civilians trapped inside some of these houses; you'll need to find a way to let them out.
- 4Reinforcements and Neon: After you tag each building, more enemies will show up. This can get tricky because the boats themselves don't offer much cover. Your best bet is to keep moving and only stop to shoot from behind railings. If you're running low on Neon, remember the tackle shop on land has several signs attached to it – a good place to refuel.
- 5The Rooftop Rendezvous: Eventually, enemies will start coming at you from land, including a bunch on top of the tackle shop. You don't need to wipe everyone out, but keep fighting until you get the message to meet Fetch across the street. Once you see that, you can ditch the fight and head for the rooftop where she's waiting. This marks the end of the first part.
- 6The Truck Chase: Now, Fetch wants you to follow a truck. This part is less about speed and more about precision. Falling anywhere near the truck means mission over, so double-check your jumps and use both your Dash and Hover abilities.
- 7Final Confrontation and Rescue: When the truck reaches its destination, you'll face another wave of drug dealers. Keep your distance and use your shooting skills to take them down. Don't be afraid to retreat if you take too much damage. After you've dealt with the dealers, you'll need to free the women held in the back of the truck.
- Always keep moving on the pier to avoid getting overwhelmed by the drug dealers.
- Conserve your Neon; look for signs on shacks and the tackle shop when you need a refill.
- Use railings and other environmental cover when tagging the houses.
- The truck chase requires careful platforming – don't rush your jumps!
- If you get into trouble during the final fight, don't hesitate to fall back and heal.
