M17 Base - canteen | Chapter 6 DARK Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You will encounter a guard on your way to the canteen. You can avoid this person easily, however a much better idea is to feed off of this opponent, especially if you've been using vampiric powers often and don't have a full supply of Vitae.
Enter the main area of the canteen and you'll watch a short cut-scene here informing you about an arrival of yet another group of vampire hunters. You should also know that aside from the living opponents you'll also have to watch out for security cameras in this location.
Go left the second you regain control over Eric, using nearby objects for cover and avoiding a security camera. Approach the stairs seen on the screen above and wait for an armored hunter from the floor above you to start moving in an opposite direction.
Try and catch up with the armored opponent mentioned above so that you'll have a chance to perform an execution on him before he moves too close to other enemies. If you don't want to kill this person then take cover behind one of the objects encountered along the way and wait for the guard to go past you after he starts moving towards the stairs again.
Approach the main part of the upper balconies and wait for a standard guard to start moving to your right. It would be a good idea to perform a silent execution on this person, however it won't bring you any closer to completing your current mission.
You can leave the canteen right now if you wish to, but I would recommend that you stay here to continue securing this location. There are only two enemies left on the second floor - start off by attacking an armored hunter and then focus on a standard guard standing close to the railing (as always do your best to prevent the corpse from landing on the lower level).
Return to the first floor and notice that there are four vampire hunters here in total. It would be best to begin securing this location by proceeding to the right side of the canteen. Start attacking the guards and don't forget about hiding their corpses. You can also attempt to eliminate at least one of the hunters by performing a long-distance kill from the balconies you've secured not long ago.
Proceed to the left side of the canteen and focus on eliminating the two remaining hunters. Just as before it's best to wait for the guards to go their separate ways so that you'll have plenty of time to hide the first corpse before the second enemy notices your presence.
The last thing to do in the canteen is to pick up a secret object - the PDA (200 experience points) you're looking for is hidden under the stairs used before to get to the upper balconies (screen above). This means that you can obtain this item even if you don't want to kill the hunters.
Like I've already said the only available exit from the canteen is located on the second floor. Start moving towards the final location of the game, using an elevator along the way and receiving two rewards - 1000 experience points is a reward for leaving the command center and the canteen and another 1000 experience points can be received if you didn't raise any alarms.
