Find the entrance to The Marrow in the North Safe House for a route to City Hall
Start the chapter and head to a Safe House located in the north part of the map. If you didn't get there in the previous mission then you must shoot a Shock Bolt at a fuse box - this is the only way to open its entrance. Go inside, collect everything that you find there, use a workbench if you need to and then interact with a computer, the one with the red Mobius logo on the screen.
You reach a dark room but there is nothing to do here - you must wait until the loading (the progress is visible in the upper right corner) is complete. When this happens, another computer will appear - interact with it and move to the correct location. Pick up a Metal Pipe, you can find it on a shelf, ammo and Weapon Parts from a chest and leave this room.
When you are in the hallway, you should go right (ignore the half-closed door in the front of you), go through the door and run to the destroyed desk. There, you can find one computer that is still functioning - interact with it and get another Files [Email: Union Growth]. After that you must interact with a map that is on a wall behind the desk.
Pick up items from shelves and then go to another part of the location that looks like a server room. Collect Gunpowder from Mobius soldier's corpse and then go through a vent shaft. Take items that you can find in the new room (Weapon Parts from a bench and another Weapon Parts and Shotgun Ammo from a chest) and leave through the open door - you can also shoot a Shock Bolt at a fuse box to unlock a shortcut that will be useful later.
Right after you go through the door, you should turn left and shoot a "corpse" in the head, the one that sits near a wall - the enemy is alive and can attack you when you pass him by (one headshot is enough to finish him off). Ignore the enemy in the room and run down the ramp where you can find another "dead" enemy - shoot him in the head.
Approach the illuminated door. In the center of it you can find a mechanism. Solve a puzzle to open the door. You must place the green soundwave in a such way that it would overlap the red one - you can do that by adjusting its amplitude and frequency. In the beginning, these puzzles may require a little bit of practice but, after some time, they will become a piece of cake. Adjust the soundwave, press the right button to activate the mechanism and prepare yourself for an upcoming fight.
A few enemies will run from the previously closed rooms. You must kill them all - you can't hide anywhere because the enemies know exactly where you are. Use terrain to your advantage - shoot them when the enemies get closer to you and if you aren't able to kill them, you can run around the columns a few times to get some distance. The most difficult enemy will appear at the end of the fight - this foe resembles the Witch from Left 4 Dead series and she can withstand a lot of bullets before she drops dead.
You shouldn't go through the passage just yet. Instead, examine the rooms that were inaccessible before. The room in the north contains Shotgun Ammo, Gunpowder and a Metal Pipe. Pick them up, go back to the place of the recent battle, climb up a ladder and enter another room. There, you can find a Crossbow Ammo Pouch (increases number of bolts that you can carry by 1) and a few items in a bag and on a shelf. You should also kill the enemy that lies on the ground. Go back down and run through the door that were opened by solving the soundwave puzzle.
Keep moving forward until you reach a room that resembles a sewer. Pull a lever down, the one that is on the wall, to pump water out from the room. Then, use a ladder to go down. Reach the end of the sewer but don't go up the ladder - go up the stairs located on the left of the ladder and collect ammo. After that you can climb up. Enter another room. The hero puts a Gas Mask on his head which changes the perspective (to first person mode).
Behind the next door you can find sewers that are filled with flammable gas - because of that you can't use your weapons besides a knife (or an Axe, if you have one). An enemy is right behind the door so hide behind a box and turn off your flash light. Wait for the enemy to turn, sneak up on the foe and perform a stealth kill. Pick up a Bottle that lies near the boxes and continue walking (you won't find any enemies here) until you reach the lower level.
This level has doors that aren't currently powered - you must bring power back by using a fuse box. But there is a problem - the sewers are roamed by an enemy that can kill you with one hit if it catches you and it can't be finished off with one stealth attack (the same goes for the regular attacks - including an Axe). This means that you must wait for the enemy to reach the end of the sewers, get closer to it, perform a stealth attack and then run to the opposite end of the sewers and hide behind the boxes. Wait a few seconds there until the enemy stops searching for you and repeat the whole process. Depending on your difficulty level, the enemy must be attacked 2-3 times.
Eliminate the enemy, pick up a lot of Green Gel and relax - you won't find any enemies here. Enter the room that was guarded by the foe, pick up a Fuse and interact with a fuse box. In order to bring power back, you must flip switches 1, 2 and 4 - the lamps on the bottom are glowing green and the door are now open. Reach them and climb up. This ends the stealth section.
Search for Exit B2 in The Marrow to reach City Hall
The corpse contains Gunpowder and a Medical Syringe - take them and then interact with a computer to get another Files [Email: Expansion and Data Goals]. Leave the room and go up the stairs. You reach a fork. Go right. There, you can find another room with items - Weapon Parts, Shotgun Ammo and a Harpoon. Take them, go back to the lower floor and continue walking forward until you reach another room.
You come across a Residual Memory - approach the box that stands near the destroyed wall, take out your Communicator and follow the on-screen instructions to activate this memory. Go back to the door through which you entered here - there is a vent shaft that you can use to leave this place. Pick up Handgun Ammo and a Herb. Then, you can interact with the computer. Wait for the game to load and interact with the computer again.
You are in a new Safe House. Drink coffee to regenerate health, save your game and you can use a mirror that is inside the small room to reach Sebastian's office - there, you can use your Green Gel to upgrade your character and refill ammo. On the table with the mirror you can also find a jar with Red Gel (use it to upgrade your character - more details in the chapter dedicated to the game's mechanics) and a Medical Syringe. Climb up the ladder and walk through the door to go outside again. Run a little while down the road and watch a cut-scene that ends the chapter 4.
