The Price

Main tasks:

Free the hostages

During the first mission in the Historic District you will have to activate a destroyed bridge and free the people being held hostage by Kessler. Firstly, approach the control panel and charge it up. After a while a new enemy will appear: the First Son Giant Conduit. He isn't very hard, despite his looks. Just target his chest and look if the enemy's outline if flashing red, which means that your hits are doing damage. After a couple of shots the hologram will disappear and a much more physical enemy will appear. Quickly finish him off and the fight will be over.

Kessler, on the other hand, isn't giving up and he takes hostages in some parts of the city and threatens to kill them. If you want to save them, you have to work quickly and resolutely. First of all, don't try to be stealthy and don't approach using the roofs. Run to the destination through the streets, getting rid of the enemies on your way. Once you approach the energetic field forming a fence, quickly kill the guards protecting it, approach it and suck out the electricity using the [L2] button. Repeat it each time you face one.

Karma moment: After freeing the hostages, Kessler will contact you again and inform that it's up to you if you want to save six doctors or a girl who is Trish herself, according to what Kessler is saying. The hostages are in two different buildings and you don't have enough time to save everyone. You have to choose. If you decide to save the doctors you will receive good Karma points, and bad points in the other case.

Reward: 500 Experience points.

Vengeance

Main tasks:

Defend the substation

Jump across the pipes and connect the circuit to earn a new, powerful ability - the Lightning Storm. Once you get out of the sewers, it will turn out you have to defend three substations from incoming enemies. With the newly gained power, this mission is quite easy.

Jump on the substation's roof and you will have unlimited energy. You need to defend the station until it is fully charged. Once the enemies appear, treat them with the Lightning Storm, which should do tremendous damage. Do the same with the other two stations and the mission will soon end.

Against the World

Main tasks:

Destroy the balloons spreading the poison

Balloons spreading a poison have appeared above Empire City. Before you take care of them, you have to destroy the planes, circling around them. This shouldn't be too hard, as it only takes one shot to take them down. Afterwards, note the balloon's route. Climb the tallest building near its route and once the balloon is near, use the Lightning Storm ability to turn out the energy field for a minute. Quickly jump on the platform beneath the balloon, using the glide ability. Once on it, unlock three couplings connecting the platform to the balloon. Your problem will fly away to the clouds and you will be able to take care of the next balloon.

People on the streets have gone mad because of the poison and will be aggressive towards you. That's why it's best to use the roofs. The second and third balloon will be harder because they will be equipped with machine guns which you can't destroy. Use the chimneys as cover and jump once you're ready.

Reward: 500 Experience points.

Hunt for the Ray Sphere

Main tasks:

Destroy the jamming devices

In order to find the Ray Sphere once again, you have to firstly destroy the jammers. John will pilot the chopper and you will defend him from an attached platform. Frequently use Precision during the flight and try to kill the rocket launcher equipped enemies as soon as you spot them.

John will stop nearby a skyscraper's roof. Get out of the platform when he tells you to. Your mission is to find the camouflaged jamming devices. Generally, they're invisible until you stand next to them. Their location is marked by a blue dot on the minimap. However, you will have to kill dozens of enemies before you get to the device. The flying machines that can cloak themselves and the Conduit with a similar ability and a big gun are especially dangerous enemies. Try to kill them from afar and not get involved in close quarter combat. Once you clear the area, jump to the ground and find the barely visible jamming device. It's practically invisible and you can notice it only thanks to the fact that the cloaking refracting the light.

Use the Lightning Storm ability and the jammer will explode. Afterwards get back to John who will take you near the next device.

Once again use Precision to target enemies with rocket launchers. You will have to get rid of another First Son Conduit, but you already know how to fight with him.

Reward: 500 Experience points.
