Mission 4 - Siege of St Cross | Singleplayer campaign mode Enemy Front Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You start the fourth mission of the single player campaign with the introductory cutscene, where you learn that the church that you have just taken over, has just been attacked. After you cut back to the protagonist, follow your allies to start the defense of the building.
Once you reach the HMG, its operator dies in a not-too-pleasant way so, you will have to take the position behind this piece of art. For several moments, you will have to massacre the Germans that keep coming from all sides, which should not be too problematic to you. Still, you need to watch out for the bazookas that the enemies are armed with, because one, well-aimed, shot can take you out in the blink of an eye. What is important, in the corner of this room, there is collectible 1 of 4 collectibles in this mission.
Once the enemies start retreating, Kozera calls for you to follow him - now it is time to defend the next section of the church. Follow in his stead, accompanied by the rest of the partisans, until you reach the next position.
The officer-in-chief tells you to follow one of the allies, to the tower, to eliminate the enemies effectively, with the sniper rifle,. Follow the man, who will take you to your positions. However, before you climb up, it is a good idea to take a look onto one of the balconies, where there are the church organs, because that is where collectible 2 of 4, next to one of the barriers, is.
After you get to the very top, pick up the sniper rifle and start killing out all of the enemy soldiers across the street - both the regular privateers and snipers. At the same time, you need to watch out because, if you get hit by one of them, in the majority of cases you will die a quick death.
At some point, you will notice a truck, full of soldiers, arrive. Fortunately for you, it will park near the barrels that explode, after you take a shot at them. You need to act fast and blow up the armored vehicle quickly, if you do not want to have to fight an sizeable wave of privates. After you have killed all of the shooters in the buildings (to do that you will have to walk over to the other tower, to be able to aim at a different angle), leave your positions to avoid being brought under fire from the enemy tanks.
Descend back into the main hall in the church and go towards the front exit from the building. It is being defended by your allies, including Kozera, who tells you to grab the bazooka in the streets and use it against the nearby tank. Do that and shoot at the Germans covering near the tank, while avoiding being killed by the tank itself. The entire action takes place on the right side of the defense lines and, after you walk over to its right side, towards the end of it, you will notice collectible 3 of 4 on the stairs.
The final round assumes killing out the rest of the attackers in the main hall of the church. A great majority of them have gathered right next to the altar so, it is a good idea to throw Molotovs there. After you have eliminated all of the survivors, it is time to take on the final battle. However, before you clear the church completely (with the mass attack following), it is a good idea to walk over to the small room on the left, right next to the lectern, because there is collectible 4 of 4 in one of the cupboards.
During the cutscene,, which only seemingly ends this chapter, there is an unexpected explosion, which crumbles a sizeable portion of the ceiling. After that, you will have to grab your weapon and lead the defense. Now you will have to fight a dozen-or-so enemy soldiers.
It may prove a bit difficult to counter-attack the enemy soldiers, especially if you are short of ammo. A very good move here is to walk around the enemy soldiers, near one of the side walls of the church, and attack them from behind. The oblivious enemies may not have even a moment to react to that, if you play your cards well. And that is what you are expecting to do.
Ending the siege of the church is rewarded with a follow up to the story of the protagonist, about the fights for the French resistance. So, listen to what happens next. Mission 4 is over.
