Cryogenic - lobby (after hunters' arrival) | Chapter 5 DARK Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The primary objective of this part of the chapter will be to reach a computer terminal in order to unlock access to the elevator, HOWEVER you won't be allowed to interact with it until you've killed all the vampire hunters in the lobby. Furthermore, living beings won't be your only concern, because you'll also have to watch out for UV generators, motion sensors, security cameras and interactive information posts (they have motion detectors as well).

Start off by taking interest in a small office area located to the right of where you've started (if you activate Vampire Vision you'll notice a new collectible here). This area is being guarded by three enemies and you'll have to time your actions perfectly so that you won't be caught while trying to eliminate them. Begin by using teleportation to avoid a hunter standing close to the security camera and take cover near an obstacle seen on the screen above.

Wait for the guards to make their way to their posts and start by neutralizing the person standing to the left. Obviously you should surprise this hunter from behind and you must also hide his body behind a goo cover.

Now you should attack the hunter who is patrolling the central area of the office space you're currently visiting. Just as before don't forget to hide his corpse after a successful kill.

There's one more opponent left here and he spends all of his time close to a security camera. You may attempt to encourage this person to move away from the camera using running next to cover or by activating an information post. If you still have problems killing him (or one of the other hunters from this group) you can also consider activating a long-range attack (fully upgraded Shadow Grip would be my pick, because the body vanishes after performing an execution).

Don't leave the office area too soon, because there's a PDA (200 experience points) on one of the desks near the camera (screen).

You may now proceed to the stairs located to the left of where you've started. Use the stairs to reach the upper level of the lobby and start by eliminating an opponent who often stops close to the right balustrade. Don't forget to quickly grab the corpse so that it won't fly over the railing and land on the lower level (with a high probability of alarming other guards).

I recommend leaving the corpse of the first guard near the stairs. Move forward and it won't take long until you've encountered another hunter. Killing this person is an easy thing, however make sure not to activate any of the nearby information posts.

Your next target is an armored soldier stationed a little further ahead. A good moment to attack this guard is when he's standing close to the stairs leading back to the first floor, but only if a guard from the lower level isn't looking directly at him.

Continue exploring the upper balconies, using teleportation when necessary and avoiding an UV generator found along the way (thankfully even if the generator becomes active its sound shouldn't attract any hunters). You'll also have to avoid a security camera and it's best to sneak under it.

A new armored soldier will be your next kill. Take cover behind a wall or another good obstacle and wait for a good moment to proceed with the attack. The suggested area for eliminating this person can be seen on the screen above.

There's only one more guard patrolling the second floor of the lobby. You don't need to get too creative here, because you only have to wait for this person to start moving towards a blocked exit from the skyscraper.

Return to the stairs where the last guard was stopping from time to time and use Vampire Vision to find out more about the current situation and if it's safe to go down. Head to the lower floor and notice that the area to the right is being patrolled by another hunter (screen above). Attack this person when a good moment presents itself and drag the body either to the upper level or behind the crates located nearby.

You should now use the upper balconies again to go back to where you've started exploring the second floor. Enemies are still present on the ground floor and eliminating all of them will be your next priority. Start off by moving closer to an area monitored by a security camera (screen above).

Wait for an armored hunter stationed here to start moving away from the main character and quickly follow him, avoiding the camera along the way by staying close to the left wall. It's important that you attack the soldier at a correct moment - you must wait for the other guard to go right. Once the armored opponent is dead hide his corpse behind the corner.

The standard guard mentioned above should become your next target and it's best to attack him after he starts moving right, however you must achieve this before he gets too close to a new UV generator and as a result becomes hostile when the device sounds an alarm.

The next guard is moving between the main corridor and the stairs located to your right. I recommend killing this enemy when he's close to the stairs, especially since you've already secured the upper level of the lobby.

Move a little bit further ahead and take cover behind the crates seen on the screen above. Wait for a new guard to appear in this corner. Attack this hunter before he manages to get closer to a new security camera.

Approach the corridor and carefully move under the camera, taking cover behind the nearest obstacle. There are two armored hunters left in your vicinity. Attack one of the enemies from behind and immediately after he's gone proceed towards the second opponent. This is also a good moment to rely on your long-distance powers, because they can help in lowering the chances of an unwanted alarm.

There's only one more hunter in the lobby and it's the person wearing a heavy armor and using a minigun. The enemy mentioned above is patrolling the area close to the reception. Take cover behind the reception desk seen on the screen and make sure that you weren't discovered so you won't complicate things.

Wait for the hunter in a heavy armor to move in a different direction, quickly approach him from behind and remove the first cylinder.

As you probably remember from the last chapter you must find cover very quickly, because an UV explosion will occur in this area and your opponent will become hostile as a result of your recent attack. Use teleportation or Obfuscation ability to find yourself again behind the elite hunter and just as the last time press the interaction key/button. Doing this will result in removing the second cylinder from the armor and you'll defeat the elite hunter.

You may finally approach the terminal located in the reception, because it's not guarded by anyone. Interact with the computer and you'll unlock access to the elevator. Head over there again. Collect 1000 experience points as a reward, witness a new cut-scene involving "an angel" and wait to be transported to a new floor of the Cryogenic tower.
