Need help with the 'Ghosts of the Past' mission in Watch Dogs? Follow our step-by-step guide to escape the police and reach Pawnee.

Alright, so you've just triggered the 'Ghosts of the Past' mission. The main goal here is to get to Yolanda's house in Parker Square and then make a swift exit because Damien's been messing around. Don't worry, I'll walk you through the easiest way to ditch the cops.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to head north from Yolanda's place to get away from the heat. The quickest route to the marina involves a few turns: take a left, then a right, and keep heading straight north.
  2. 2
    You'll need to break through a railing and head right over the pier. From there, hop across the water to a parking lot.
  3. 3
    Angle yourself to the right a bit, aiming for a metal fence. Go under the highway, and you'll find yourself on a dirt road.
  4. 4
    Head straight off the road onto the marina dock to your left. Then, go through the fence on the other side of the docks to your right.
  5. 5
    Once you're back on the dirt road, you should be able to lose the cops. Carefully make your way north until you hit the main roads again.
  6. 6
    From there, just follow the waypoints to Pawnee. Once you arrive at the destination marker, the mission will wrap up.
Tips
  • The marina route is generally the cleanest way to escape. Stick to the docks and the dirt roads to keep the police off your tail.
  • Don't get too fancy with your driving; just focus on heading north and using the terrain to break line of sight.
