The Hole - first backyard | Chapter 4 DARK Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Proceed towards the first backyard. The game will show a short cut-scene in this location during which you'll find out that you'll be dealing with vampire hunters. That's not the only problem, because you'll be informed that some of the hunters are wearing heavy armors and Eric won't be allowed to drain them of their blood. Thankfully you can still kill them, either by surprising them from behind or by using long-distance powers (Shadow Kill and Shadow Grip).
Quickly approach the main part of the backyard and follow an opponent found to your right. Don't attack the hunter until he makes his way to a side alley, because the kill won't be noticed there and you also won't have to worry about hiding a corpse afterwards.
Make sure that the body can't be seen from the backyard and use this opportunity to pick up the first PDA (200 experience points).
Carefully move closer to the main part of this location and start paying attention to a new vampire hunter seen on the screen above. You must wait for this person to turn around and move away or help yourself by using Shadow Leap. Either way your current objective should be to return to the starting area.
You should now focus on an armored soldier standing close to the left alley. This person won't move, but before you approach the hunter make sure that the guard stationed to your right isn't looking in this direction. Attack the "elite" hunter from behind and quickly hide his body behind one of the nearby obstacles so that it won't be discovered by anyone else.
Get ready for the most difficult part of your journey, because all of the remaining enemies are observing each other and attacking either one of them without any real preparations will end in a disaster. You can of course try to leave this area using teleportation or Obfuscation ability to make it harder for the hunters to recognize Eric, however if you don't mind killing your enemies I suggest that you follow the instructions published below.
Approach the two hunters stationed close to the exit from the first backyard, taking cover behind a small shack seen on screen 1. Wait for the single guard who is patrolling the center of this location to move away, stand up and perform a short sprint next to the cover. If you've done everything according to the plan then Eric will make enough noise to attract the attention of a nearby armored hunter (screen 2). Get ready, because this person will soon start moving here to check the source of the disturbance.
Use the fact that the soldier in an armor has stopped observing his colleague patrolling the central area of the backyard and attack this standard guard (screen above). I guess I don't have to remind you to hide his body, especially since that the armored opponent will soon return to his original post.
You must now repeat one of your previous actions by running close to the shack in order to distract the armored soldier. Wait for this person to go left for the second time and once this has happened quickly approach the right guard seen on screen 1. Murder this person and immediately proceed towards the armored hunter so that you'll kill him before he turns around and finds out what's going on (screen 2).
You may finally proceed towards the second backyard. Listen to a conversation with Rose along the way and make sure to check a small alley to your left, because you'll find a PDA (200 experience points) there (screen).
