Act 1 - Chapter 2 - Ascension City Downtown V | Act 1 - Chapter 2 Bionic Commando Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hidden bonuses: 6

Level walkthrough: Proceed forward and listen to a short radio transmission along the way. Stay away from the left building, because otherwise you would have to deal with large doses of radiation. Instead get to the metal structure. Use the beam to get closer to a new building and make a jump towards it. Use your bionic arm to get to the roof.

Notice that a pod has landed on the roof of the building and you should use your hook here. Doing this will allow you to get your hands on a HIKER which basically works like a powerful shotgun. Test this new weapon on a nearby group of enemy soldiers. You can reach them by landing near their position.

Your next objective will be to get to a new building located in the distance. I would recommend using other buildings located to your left by attaching yourself to them with a bionic arm. Once you've reached the entrance get rid of a small group of enemy soldiers. Head inside and get ready to kill other enemy units along the way.

Inspect the first staircase you encounter during your exploration of the building. Go to the upper floor and you'll find the first bonus item. Head back down and proceed to a second staircase. Eventually you'll exit this building. Take your time to watch a new tutorial movie. Instead of testing this new move right away make a jump towards the right building wall.

Notice that you can't go up because of high radiation levels. As a result you'll have to begin moving left until you've reached a new section of the roof. Explore your surroundings to find the second bonus item. You may finally test how Death from Above move works. Keep pressing the Y button when you're in the air and you'll land on a large pipe made out of concrete.

Enter the tunnel and start moving towards the first relay station. Once you've reached the exit use the hook to get to an upper level. Ignore the station for the time being and instead proceed to your left. You should be moving next to the abyss. It shouldn't take you too long to find the third bonus item.

You may finally use your bionic arm to get to the relay station. I guess you won't be surprised to encounter enemy troops in this area. Use a HIKER or a standard pistol to get rid of them and hack into the station once they're gone. Head down and don't forget to collect a new HIKER from a nearby pod.

You'll have to go through the tunnel again. Be careful, because at least two guards are going to be standing inside the tunnel. Kill them from a large distance before going back outside. Proceed to the upper level and finish off a new group (don't forget to complete some of the HIKER challenges).

You'll now have to reach a new tunnel located in front of you and this can only be done using the previously disabled mines. Take it slow and each time you make a new jump focus on grabbing a new mine. Notice the fourth bonus item floating in the air. Perform a jump from the nearest mine and make sure that you'll be able to grab the ledge afterwards, because otherwise you'll die and you'll have to start over again.

Enter the tunnel after you safely land on the other side. You'll encounter a large group of enemy soldiers just around the corner and I would recommend using grenades to kill them. Exit the tunnel. Ignore the new cut-scene and instead turn around. Leap up to find the fifth bonus item.

You may now begin fighting the Biomechs. Start off by attacking the mech found on the upper platform. The first step is to keep running while remaining near the machine. Wait for the mech to begin setting up a stationery gun. Approach the machine from the back (quickly!) and attack it using the zip kick. Repeat this action a few more times and you'll succeed.

Before you begin firing at the second mech you should take some time trying to acquire the last sixth bonus item. Approach the entrance to the museum and use your bionic arm to get to the top. Avoid radiation and land inside a small alcove to find this object.

Once the object you were looking for is in your inventory head down and start attacking the second mech. The tactics here stay the same, however you may consider fulfilling a couple of side challenges. Head into the tunnel when you're victorious.
