CRYSIS 3

MISSION 1: POST-HUMAN

Your squad will split up, so follow your leader to the right and up the stairs.

There will be no enemies in this initial area. Inside the building, he will

instruct you to equip a silencer. Hold select to bring up the weapon

customization wheel and then press Y to move to the silencer. Press A next to

equip the silencer.

Turn on cloaking by pressing RB and go into the next room. There will be an

enemy at the computer to the left. Sneak up behind him by crouching (press B),

and then click in RS to initiate a stealth kill. With him dead, deactivate

your cloaking to let it recharge, and then reactivate it and move into the

hangar room.

The situation in here is that there will be one guard standing watch, and

another messing with a computer terminal. Hide and wait for your cloaking to

be fully recharged. Then reactivate your cloaking and kill the guard standing

under the vehicle with another stealth kill. Quickly kill the next guard with

similar means, then hide in the darkness and let your cloaking recharge some

more.

There will be another enemy in here if you want to kill him. He'll be walking

around and will notice the dead bodies, which will raise your threat level and

keep the guards on alert. It's better to ignore him and follow the catwalk and

keep an eye on the floor where you'll find a vent. Hold X to enter the vent

and move through the vent system. When you reach the next grate, activate your

cloak and then open it up. Step into the next room where you'll find a guard

moving from console to console. Take him out silently and resume moving toward

the objective marker.

You'll find a panel. Interact with it to let your partner through and follow

him through the next doors. Then follow Psycho into the outside area, where

it will be raining heavily and there will be multiple guards patroling. He'll

give you the bow, and explain that you stay cloaked when using the bow.

Make sure you have full energy and then activate the cloak. Step outside and

take out the first guard you see with the bow, hide, deactivate the cloak, and

repeat the process as you snake through the area. Doing regular stealth kills

won't be any good because enemies will spot you that are walking on the

catwalks above during the brief moment when you are de-cloaked during the kill.

Psycho will lead you to an area with a locked door. He'll kill the person

through the window, then instruct you to hack the door from your current

position. Press Up on the d-pad twice to activate the hacking capabilities of

Nanosuit Vision. Aim the cursor at the controls through the window, and then

hold X to begin the hack, and a minigame will ensue. You have to wait for the

circle to bounce into the wavelength cursor, then confirm before it bounces

away. Do this twice and the door will open.

Psycho will find a video of his suit being disconnected from his body. While

he's raging about that, check the red crates in here to resupply your ammo.

Then follow Psycho into the next room. You'll reach another outside area, with

the option to stay at the bottom or go up the stairs and take the upper

catwalk. Go up the stairs.

There are two guards up here. Kill them both with the bow. Remember you can

regain your arrows by walking over dead bodies. Go down the next stairs and

then kill the guards down here as well. If you're spotted, they'll call a

helicopter after you. If this happens, activate your armor by pressing LB and

then find cover.

When the coast is clear, activate your cloak (there will be other enemies

roaming around here, but they shouldn't be a threat), and hack the keypad.

Enter the next building. Keep an eye out for a crate of weapons. Follow the

objective markers through the building. There will be a decontamination tunnel

in which you'll have to wait a couple of seconds for the door to open, but it's

no big deal.

Have your bow equipped as you move into the next large room. THis room can be

fairly uneventful if you take it slow. Kill enemies one by one with your bow,

but be sure that you will be able to regain your arrows from them when you

take the shots. Use your cloaking abilities as much as possible as you move

from end of the room to the next. Stealth kill enemies sparingly and only when

there's no one around to witness it, and ignore any enemies that you can. At

the end of the room, you'll find a door to go through, and then Prophet will

check on Psycho.

The next room is another large room with plenty of stealth kill opportunities.

Unequip your bow for now, as this room is much easier dealt with using the

up close and personal approach. Activate your cloak and take note of the area.

There is a square catwalk leading all around the room. Once again, your goal

will be directly across from you.

There will be two enemies on either side, and two enemies walking around in the

middle area that connects the two sides as well. On the bottom floor is a lone

guard, but he poses no threat. Activate the cloak and take out the two enemies

nearest to you. Hide behind a wall and then let the cloak recharge. Then move

to the next guards and take them out quietly one by one. When your energy is

almost depleted, retreat and let it recharge before resuming the festivities.

Move into the darkened laboratory corridors as soon as you can. Unless you are

grinding for achievements, don't waste time killing all the enemies in the

room. As you move through these halls, make sure you are fully cloaked as you

round the corners. You'll reach a hall with an enemy at the end, and another

that comes through the doors, revealing a turret.

Before they spot you, activate a fully-charged cloak. Then step into the hall

and bring up your hacking visor. Aim it at the turret and hack the turret. It

will have much more steps than previous hacking did, and will be tougher to

complete the mini-game. Once the turret has been hacked, it will kill the two

guards for you.

Hack your way through the next door, then hang tight until Psycho kill the

enemies in the subsequent room. Follow him and he'll have something neat (or

terrifying, depending on how you look at it) to show you:  New York 2.0.
