Walkthrough - Taipei - Assault Triad Headquarters in Slums | Taipei Alpha Protocol Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

INTRODUCTION:

You can buy additional Intel for this mission (use the computer in the hideout and choose Clearinghouse). The available options are:

- Additional Intel on the Triads.

- Help in completing the mission from one of the bribed lieutenants. It's worth to buy it, as it's quite cheap.

- A map of the area. You can buy it considering the lower price, however you will disable all the security cameras in the first phase of the mission.

MAP:

ELIMINATE RED-EYE JIN:

You begin the mission in a weakly-lit alley (M15, 1); enter the nearby building (M15, 2). Ignore the enemies at the ground level room for now (M15, 3) and head towards the nearby stairs (M15, 4). Look out, as the area is patrolled by a single enemy, who you should probably eliminate silently. Open the right door, while looking out for the security camera above you. Eliminate another guard from this spot (screen).

Carefully walk by the security camera and head to the door leading to the room with Jin (M15, 5). Open them by solving a mini-game or using an EMP. If you've been silent until now, you will be able to surprise Jin (screen) without having to fight him. On the other hand if you've started an alarm, just position yourself by the door and use a heavy weapon to eliminate him. Luckily he's far less resistant than normal bosses.

SIDE MISSION - FIND THE FIRST INTEL COLLECTION:

This mission consists of three parts. You don't have to complete all of them, however it's of course advisable considering the additional Intel and experience. Begin with checking out the room in which you fought Jin. You will find a computer terminal (M15, 6), hacking which will disable all the security cameras in the slums.

Now return to the room on the ground floor (M15, 3) and eliminate two enemies here. If the enemies patrolling the nearby square (M15, 7) will get alarmed, you'll have to deal with them as well. Afterwards look for a desk with a turned on computer on it (M15, 8). Hacking it will provide you with the information needed.

GETTING TO TONY TSENG:

Head onto the mentioned square (M15, 7), using the door located in the same room or the nearby gate (M15, 9). You will find some enemies in the area and silently eliminating them can be quite hard. If you don't mind open fights, don't forget about keeping a safe distance. One of the guards is patrolling the nearby bridge (M15, 10) and if he doesn't run to you, you'll have to deal with him on the way (screen). Ultimately you have to get to the small room located nearby Tseng (M15, 11).

ELIMINATING TONY TSENG:

You can eliminate Tseng (who acts like a boss) in two ways. Staying in the shadows is definitely the better option. Head south-east, while avoiding getting on the main square. You need to reach a small ladder (M15, 12). Go up as the guard looks back and take care of him silently. Now head north and you will find a sniper rifle (M15, 13). Aim at the building in front of you and kill Tseng as he appears by one of the windows.

If you don't want to or can't stay hidden, you should firstly secure the nearby square (M15, 14). Keep an eye on the machine gun post, which can be taken by someone in the meantime. After killing all the enemies, head into the northern building (M15, 15) and go upstairs, where you will have to defeat Tseng in a direct fight (use covers and grenades).

SIDE MISSION - FIND THE SECOND INTEL COLLECTION:

In order to get to the second computer terminal, you have to enter the building in which Tseng was (M15, 15). Go upstairs to the room you fought him in. Find the bridge (screen) (M15, 16), thanks to which you will get to the neighbouring building. Hacking into the nearby computer (M15, 17) will give you the precious Intel.

GETTING TO ERIC CHUNG:

Head towards the passage to the next location (M15, 18), to which you can get by riding down the line or going through the metal gate. Enter the building using the door right next to the camera (M15, 19), go up the ladder and deal with a single enemy. Walk across the bridge into the neighbouring building (M15, 20). It's worth going down here, as you can find new Intel on the Triads (M15, 1).

Jump down to the lower level at the marked spot and head toward the building exit (M15, 21). If you were silent, there will be just a single enemy here. Otherwise there's going to be lots more of enemy soldiers, including one who will be using the southern machine gun (screen). Note that the enemies came out of the western room (M15, 22). Check it out, as it holds an Extended Assault Rifle Clip (assault rifle upgrade) (M15, 1).

After securing the area, enter the new building (M15, 23). Go down the ladder and head towards the exit (M15, 24). The area is patrolled by a single enemy and it would be good to wait for him in the weakly-lit niche (screen) (M15, 25) and then move on. Soon you will meet two enemies (M15, 26) and unfortunately will have to attack them, as they won't split even after finishing the talk. Approach the nearby gate and hack the security system.

Go down the ladder and carefully approach the new location (M15, 27). The area is patrolled by a couple enemies. If you intend to get rid of them silently, wait until they split up. In the other case, just use the covers (screen). After ending the fight, go through the only accessible passage to the next area (M15, 28). It would be good to eliminate the two guards here in a silent manner. Afterwards head towards the southern room (M15, 29).

SIDE MISSION - FINDING THE THIRD INTEL COLLECTION:

Get rid of the guard here silently, thanks to which you will be able to safely take a look around the area. Above all collect the Adrenaline Regulator (M15, 1). The Intel you're searching for can be found inside the safe on the eastern wall (M15, 30), which you of course have to hack.

ELIMINATING ERIC CHUNG:

You can eliminate Eric in two ways. Personally I wouldn't recommend getting involved in fights, as it's very risky. If you however want to follow that option, you can begin shooting at the enemies in the next zone (M15, 31) or use the terminal located in the lower right corner (M15, 32), which will unlock the nearby stairs, allowing you to get closer to the enemy troops (screen).

The better option is to hack into the computer in the upper left corner of the room (M15, 33), which will reprogram the two nearby turrets. Now you can wait for them to finish off Eric and his bodyguards or help them by eliminating the closest targets.

SURVIVING THE TRIADS ATTACKS:

Right after eliminating Chung, you should head to the small platform (M15, 34) located nearby the destroyed or "friendly" turrets. The enemies will income from two ways - from the south (M15, 35) and from the mentioned tunnel (M15, 36). Use the stationary machine gun to your advantage. Generally you won't get too tired here, especially if you have the turrets on your side. After eliminating the enemies, head to the southern passage (M15, 36) to end this part of the mission.

ANOTHER MEETING WITH HONG SHI:

The meeting will begin automatically after returning from the slums. You can behave in two ways:

1) Get the needed Intel from Hong. Choose the professional style for this option.

2) Try to blackmail him. If you don't want to lose his trust, choose (Friendship) in return. The two other options will end your acquaintance and worsen the relations with the Triads. You can ask him for a ransom (10000 dollars) or for additional Intel (on his and the CSP.

Regardless of the chosen option, you will learn about the existence of Omen Deng.
