Complete Mission 8: Covert Assault in The Long Dark. Learn how to disable the shield system, access navigational systems, and gain control of the bridge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Disable shield system: Switch your Combat Knife to the Poison Tip function. Exit the starting area and kill the first monster with your knife. Take the Mauler from the defeated monster. Proceed down the hallway and kill the next monster with the Mauler. Enter the next room and shoot the three shield generators to destroy them.
  2. 2
    Access navigational system: Return to the elevator and take it down. Exit the elevator and meet Elvis, who will give you an AR43 Assault Rifle. Continue down the hall, killing any monsters with your Mauler. Follow Elvis to the lifts and take one up. Follow Elvis through the odd-shaped door and kill the two monsters. In the four-way fork, go through the door on the left, then the odd-shaped door on the right. Kill the monster inside. Proceed through the door at the end of the hallway, then take a right about halfway down and enter the next room. Kill any monsters, then wait for Elvis to access the navigational systems.
  3. 3
    Gain control of bridge: After Elvis speaks, exit through the same door you entered. Go right and through the door at the end. Kill the monster in the hallway and follow the twisting hallways to a ramp on your right. Go up the ramp and kill the monster at the top. Go through the next two doors on your left, killing the two monsters within. Go up the catwalk and through the door at the top. Take the elevator up. After exiting, kill the three monsters quickly. Elvis will arrive and climb a ramp; protect him while he takes over the bridge by shooting any enemies that appear. Continue protecting him until he succeeds.
Tips
  • Ensure your Combat Knife is set to the Poison Tip function before leaving the starting area.
  • Use the Mauler effectively against the monsters encountered after acquiring it.
  • Be prepared to quickly eliminate monsters upon exiting elevators.
  • Stay near the doors where you entered the bridge area to effectively protect Elvis.
