Follow our detailed walkthrough for Watch Dogs' 'Bottom of the Eighth' mission. Learn stealth and aggressive tactics to take down Maurice and escape the tunnels and stadium.
Alright, so you've reached the 'Bottom of the Eighth' mission in Watch Dogs. This one's all about dealing with Maurice and then making your escape. It's got a mix of stealth and action, so let's break it down.
Walkthrough
- 1First up, you need to take down Maurice. After that, before you head straight for his phone, take a good look around the small room you're in. You'll find highlighted objects that are great for Crafting. Keep an eye out for these as you play – they're super useful! You can also hack the soda machine for a little boost and check your phone for info on Maurice. Once you're ready, target his phone and hold down the Hack button to get what you need.
- 2After that, you'll exit the room and head down a hall for a cutscene. You'll then meet up with Jordi Chin, and your next big challenge is to make your way through some tunnels without the cops spotting you. You've got two main paths here.
- 3Option 1: The Stealth Route - If you want to avoid confrontation, head back into the hall and take the eastern route (the one *without* the soda machines). You'll find a pallet. Just wait for the guards to clear out, then make your way up the ramp. This way, you can avoid the guards entirely.
- 4Option 2: The Aggressive Route - This route is all about using the environment to distract and take down guards. From the office where you found supplies, you'll see a pitching machine. When an officer is near it, hack the machine (hold the Hack button) to make it pitch. This will lure the guard over, letting you sneak up and take him down quietly.
- 5Next, you'll need to deal with the second guard near the van. Approach the van from the right side, so you're behind it facing the guard. You'll see a phone on some metal grates behind him. Hack this phone – it'll make a distraction (sounds like a messed-up dog bark, weirdly!) allowing you to sneak up and take him out.
- 6No matter which route you chose, you'll hit a dead end. You'll need to go up and over a dumpster and railing. The double doors here are locked, but don't worry. Hack the nearby camera, then switch between cameras until you find one overlooking the two guards and the control switch you need. Hack the switch to unlock the doors, then cancel out to return to Aiden.
- 7You'll end up in the lower court. You'll automatically take cover behind a counter, with a guard standing nearby. Grab the Electronic Parts from the table. Open your Weapon Wheel, use the right stick to select 'Lure', and craft one. Throw the Lure on the wall to the right to distract the guard.
- 8If you want to sneak past, go around the concession stand and perform a takedown. If you'd rather not engage, stick to the left wall, go all the way back to the left of the escalator, and climb the scaffolding to reach the upper level and enter the Lounge.
- 9The Lounge is busy with patrons and guards. Before you do anything else, use the cameras to get a lay of the land and tag all five officers. Look for patrons in the bar with a blue diamond and blue text when you use your Profiler – hacking them can give you sensitive info, like bank account details. Once you're ready, head behind the bar and exit through the doors on the other side.
- 10As you leave the Lounge, check the ATM to collect any cash you've earned from hacks. Then, you'll get a call. You need to find a security guard with access to the server room. Hack the camera in the trophy room, then hack another to spot the guard.
- 11Hack the guard to get the server room code. Then, hack the security router on the left side of the room to access the server room. Perform one final hack to return to Aiden. Now, open your Weapon Wheel and select 'Blackout' to plunge the stadium into darkness and make your escape.
- 12You'll need to get out of the stadium. If you want some extra ammo, you can take out the cops, but be warned: if you're caught, you'll fail the mission. So, it's your call. If you want to avoid the cops, just enter the trophy room, hang a left, and follow the wall to an escalator that leads down and out.
Tips
