M17 Base - command center | Chapter 6 DARK Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Keep following the narrow corridors and you'll soon enter a new area where you'll receive two rewards: 1000 experience points for finding the command center and another 1000 experience points for leaving the prison area without triggering any alarms. Choose the main staircase and approach a large command table. The game will play a longer cut-scene here during which you'll have a chance to exchange a few words with Samantha. The woman will soon order her vampire hunters to go after you so get ready, because as soon as you'll regain full control over Eric you will have to start hiding again.
If you don't want to kill any enemy units then immediately teleport Eric towards the crates located to the left. Use Obfuscation (or wait for Shadow Leap ability to regenerate itself) and proceed to the left corridor seen on the screen above.
If you don't have anything against eliminating all of the nearby vampire hunters then use teleportation to transport Eric to the crates located to the right and then quickly enter a side room seen on the screen above (using vampiric powers here to avoid detection shouldn't be necessary). This is a much better idea in my opinion, because you won't encounter any major problems murdering enemy units and you'll also have a chance to find a new secret object.
I assume that you've followed my recommendation and decided to make your way to a storage area located to the right of where you've started. Explore this room and you'll find a PDA (200 experience points) seen on the screen above.
Stay in this room and wait for one of the guards to make a stop in front of the storage area where you're hiding. This person will turn in another direction so organizing a surprise attack will be very easy.
Carefully move closer to an upper platform located to the right (this is the area where you've talked to Samantha when you arrived here for the first time). Get ready for the most difficult step, because you will have to use either Shadow Kill or Shadow Grip to get rid of an opponent standing next to the staircase (you can't approach him on foot, because he's facing the stairs).
Remain on the upper platform mentioned earlier and surprise the second armored hunter from the back. In this case you don't have to expect any additional complications.
Return to the lower level and approach two enemies stationed close to each other. Start running next to a cover seen on screen 1 so that one of the hunters will become suspicious. Quickly change cover, wait for this person to show up and perform a successful surprise attack from behind (screen 2).
There are only two hunters left here and they're both wearing armors. Thankfully both enemies should be facing the left storage area and as a result you won't have any problems performing surprise attacks.
It doesn't matter if you've decided to avoid enemies or kill them all, because sooner or later you will have to get to the opposite end of this command center. Approach the right door seen on the screen above and make sure to avoid being noticed by a new security camera.
Use Vampire Vision ability to check the current position of a guard who's patrolling a corridor behind the door. I guess I don't have to add that you shouldn't move for the kill if you see him heading your way.
Make your way to a new room and enter it carefully. You will have to avoid a new security camera here, as well as an armored hunter who will be moving between computer terminals found at the back. You can leave the guard alone or you can perform a sprint near one of the larger obstacles so that you'll encourage this person to move closer to the center of the room. Don't attack the hunter without doing these preparations, because by default he is being observed by another camera.
Don't leave this area just yet, because there's a PDA (200 experience points) on a desk seen on the screen above and you should pick it up.
You may now proceed to a much smaller room located to the left, avoiding yet another security camera along the way. Approach a computer terminal and interact with it in order to upload a virus.
Head back to the command center using the same corridors as before. DON'T enter the command center right away, because two enemies have arrived in the area. Wait for the vampire hunters to end their quarrel, because one of them will murder his colleague. The killer will stay close to the door and this will make avoiding him a little tricky. If you didn't unlock silent running you can try and lure him to the corridor where you're standing (sprinting next to a wall) and then surprise him after he starts to move back to his original post.
If you have silent running unlocked and/or don't want to kill the last hunter then you must move closer to him and then use teleportation to transport Eric behind large crates found to the left. You can attempt here again to make the guard suspicious or you can focus on leaving the command center as soon as possible.
The exit from the command center is seen on the screen above and if you didn't kill the last armored hunter then you will have to use teleportation again to reach it. Descend the stairs to get to a new area, listening to a conversation with Rose along the way.
