Mission 12 - Home Army Victorious | Singleplayer campaign mode Enemy Front Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The next mission, as always, starts with a short cutscene, during which Hawkins yet again calls forth to the citizen of Warsaw for support to the uprising, and solemnly informs about the recent events. After the audition ends, you can hear a short conversation with Kozera. It seems that the action of your next mission takes place mainly in the interior of a local hospital.
After regaining control over your character, you should find yourself inside the mentioned hospital. According to the guidelines of the mission, go with Kozera to meet a certain, high-ranking officer. However, before you put a single step forward, turn to the right side - inside of the room, in which you currently are, there's a secret (1 of a total of 4), lying in between two boxes.
During your march along the corridor, you will run past a hospital bed, with a wounded soldier lying on top of it. The soldier will grab your hand and will beg for water, but you shouldn't get distracted, as shortly afterwards one of the nurses will take care of him.
Afterwards, listen to the conversation between Kozera, and his old friend - Wladek. It doesn't bring anything crucial to the gameplay, but it's always worthwhile to listen to those kind of stories.
Further along your path, you will stumble upon a dying patient, with a profusely bleeding knee. By holding down the interaction button (two times in a row), you can save his live, but it's not recommended for anything, nor does it award you with any points for doing so.
In the very same corridor, in which you save (or not) the wounded vigilante, you will find an open door, leading to the hospital's mortuary. It's worthwhile to get inside for a short while, as in the left top corner, on the edge of one of the beds (looking from the bird's perspective), you will find a secret (2 out of a total of 4) available for you in this chapter.
After dealing with all the hospital matters, head towards the stairway, which is, in fact, the exit from the underground medical facility. Climb them up and soon you should arrive at a destroyed housing. Fresh air, what a relief...
After taking a few steps forward, you will stumble upon a pair of AK soldiers, to which your commanding officer should speak in a second. Kozera, from a brief conversation, will learn about the planned attack of the German troops. In that case, all there's left for you to do is to simply run towards the barricade, where the officer you're supposed to find will be waiting.
Take the shortest route by going towards the marker on the map - don't forget to sprint. You should be able to hear the sounds of battle in the distance - prepare for the worst.
During your run along the road, it's recommended to stray from the designated path and reach a barricade consisting of boxes with ammo and weaponry. You should load yourself out before departing further into the mission, because a tough fight awaits you very soon.
Nearby, you will find a building with a visible entrance. You should get inside through the open doors, as there you can collect a secret (3 out of a total of 4), lying on one of the tables.
Continuing your march towards the marker on the map, you will arrive at the line of defense, organized by the Warsaw resistance. On the horizon you should be able to see the German troops. Run to the hole in the wall as soon as possible (you can get there through the rubble), and afterwards enter the building.
Inside, go along the corridor, and get down the sloping footbridge, to the lower room, through which you can on a broad street, just in front of the barricade. It's time to flank the enemy from the side, and shoot them all up, as they will be sitting ducks.
First things first, you must take care of the German officer, who, along with his forces at his command, storms your barricades. Get rid of him, as well as the German privates, who, with vast numbers, should be arriving from the direction of the main street.
Afterwards, a group of two armored vehicles will arrive near the line of defense - both of them can be a major threat to you, as well as to your allies. Destroy them as soon as possible, by using Molotov cocktails, to prevent them from shooting at your position.
Unfortunately, your intervention will be met with an instantaneous counterattack from the enemy. This time, however, a powerful tank will enter the battlefield - it will stop near the building, from where you were firing at the German officer a short while ago. Go back to the room, in which you've found the 4th secret, and plant an explosive on the marked place on the wall (the explosives can be found near the ammo boxes).
After dealing with all the heavy artillery, all you have to do now is to get rid of several "normal" opponents, which can be shot by using the sniper rifle. After killing most of the enemies hidden between barricades and terrain obstacles, the Germans will order a retreat. It means that you've won. However, you shouldn't be celebrating just yet, as another attack on the second barricade should commence shortly. Go in the direction of the marker on the map, to take a position on the second line of defense.
After reaching the place, there's no time to analyze - grab Molotov cocktails as soon as possible, to destroy the armored vehicles of the enemy, which should be closing on your position. Explosions, which you will cause with the Molotov, are certain to kill at least a few of the nearby enemies, as well as an officer (who is a target of a secondary quest). If the enemy commander survive, finish him off with a more conventional means (by using your machinegun or a sniper rifle).
After a tank appears on the horizon, pick up the bazooka, lying in a nearby ammo box - afterwards, shoot at the tank to destroy it before it's able to shoot back.
At the very end, mount the powerful heavy machinegun and take care of any German survivors, who should be shooting on your position, hidden behind terrain obstacles and the wreckages of the vehicles. The last goal of this mission, is to destroy a heavy machinegun emplacement, installed on the floor of the building, located on the left side of the street. To do so, shoot at the barrel, located at the very entrance to the building. Doing so, the whole construction will blow up, and the Germans will retreat.
During the cutscene, you will hear some bitter grievances from the main characters, which announce an inevitable fall of the Warsaw Uprising. Regardless of a successful mission, which ended a just a while ago, defeat hangs in the air. This encounter surely wasn't the last one, in which you will take part.
