The Hole - second backyard | Chapter 4 DARK Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Notice there's a single hunter at the end of the path you're currently exploring, however killing this person is entirely optional. Sooner or later you will have to choose a passageway located between the buildings to your right. Approach the second backyard and familiarize yourself with a new warning message which will be about nearby motion sensors. You must avoid standing in front of the sensors (red beams), because otherwise the device will start making noise and it will be noticed by all nearby enemy units.
Avoiding two motion sensors found in the second backyard will be very easy (more on that subject later in the text), however the same can't be said about new vampire hunters. Start off by taking cover next to a large crate seen on the screen above. Notice a single guard to your right. Wait for this opponent to turn around and to start moving towards the central area of the backyard. Use this opportunity to quickly approach the hunter from behind. Kill the guard and drag his corpse towards the crate where you were hiding recently.
An armored opponent can also be found nearby and he's patrolling the area between the main backyard and a side alley. Attacking this person from behind is out of the question, because the soldier is observed by his colleagues. If you still want to kill him then you should choose Shadow Kill or Shadow Grip power and wait for him to stop in a side alley, far away from the line of sight of other enemies.
Sooner or later you will have to start moving closer to the exit from the second backyard (MUCH sooner if you didn't attack anyone) and it's located to the left of where you've started. I strongly recommend choosing the path displayed on the screen above so you should be staying very close to the left wall, avoiding the first motion sensor without triggering it.
Make a stop once you've reached a small brick wall (screen above) and take some time to familiarize yourself with the current situation. The area to the left is being patrolled by two "standard" hunters. Your objective is to reach an entrance to an old cinema which is a building to the right. The entrance is being defended by a second motion sensor (it's attached to the right container), by a security camera and by two armored opponents.
If you don't want to kill anyone in this location then you may perform an extremely risky attempt of using teleportation (Shadow Leap ability) to transport Eric directly to the inside of the old cinema (screen above). I don't recommend this method, especially since choosing it means skipping on an opportunity of obtaining two collectibles.
A much better idea is to continue securing the second backyard. Make sure that you're hidden behind the brick wall and get ready to use teleportation. Activate Shadow Leap when a guard seen on the screen above will move to the right (you'll end up behind him).
Quickly move further ahead, because the person you've avoided a moment ago will soon start moving towards the main character. Take cover behind one of the nearby obstacles and wait for the second standard hunter to go left. Surprise this enemy from behind and hide his corpse.
Stay here for a little while longer, because you'll uncover a PDA (200 experience points) (screen) nearby and it would be a good idea to pick it up right away.
You can finally take interest in the first standard guard (the same person you were avoiding so far). Don't attack this hunter when he stops far away from your current location, because doing that would surely result in an alarm. Instead use the same trick as before and start running close to the container seen on the screen above to get his attention.
Quickly move back and hide behind one of the nearby objects. Wait for the suspicious guard to show up near the container. You can attack this person right away (long-distance powers) or surprise the hunter after he turns around (in this case you must catch him in time before he returns to the main area of the backyard).
The next step is to carefully approach the old cinema building. Take cover in a location seen on the screen above, under an active security camera.
As you've probably noticed an armored hunter is preventing you from entering this building. The easiest way of killing this person is to use a fully upgraded Shadow Grip ability (screen 1), because not only you won't have to approach him, but you'll also get rid of his body and you won't have drag it away to safety. If you don't have the power mentioned above you can stun the guard (Domination ability would be a good pick) or start running near the building's wall to get his attention (screen 2).
Stay close to the security camera mentioned earlier, because there's a second PDA (200 experience points) here (screen above). Now is a good moment to collect it, because it's no longer in the field of vision of the armored opponent.
There's only one more armored hunter left in the area and obviously killing him is optional. If you do intend to eliminate him then you should use Shadow Grip on him so you won't have to risk too much. Once you're done exploring this location proceed to the entrance to the old cinema.
