Magnum Opus | Story missions Mad Max Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You will start the mission by going to Chumbucket's Hideout marked on the map (you can do it immediately after completing the previous mission). While inside, you should fill the canteen with the water from the dispenser found on the left side of the stairs. Walk towards the mechanic and, after a short cutscene, the mission will start.
Start driving towards the marked place. At some point, you will run out of fuel and two places where you can look for it will become marked on the map.
In the small camp on the left side of the road you will find two packs of Scrap lying inside and next to the tent. The canister will be empty here, so go to the other pointed place. There you will have to defeat three opponents in a brawl - remember about parrying their attacks at the right time (the icon above the head of the enemy that prepares to attack) and counterattacking. By doing so, you will avoid taking damage, and your attacks will quickly knock the opponent down. After taking care of the enemies, search the place (you will find 2x Scrap) and then refuel the vehicle and collect some supplies of the fuel.
After refueling the gas, drive forward. Once you reach the destination, take the canister from the vehicle, walk close to the gate and set the container on fire - a short cutscene will start (if not, then throw the burning canister at the gate).
When driving through the camp, you must watch out for hanging bombs. Some of them will be motionless and will explode only if you drive into them - obviously, don't do that. Be careful at turns, because some of the bombs will swing. These ones explode after a while, it is best to stop, let them explode and drive after that. Once you reach the end of the road, enter the cave.
After walking few meters, you will find some Scrap and a rope which you must use to ride down. Pick up the flashlight few steps ahead, you can use it from now. Before using the second rope you can replenish water. Then, ride down the platform with car wrecks.
On the platform you will find two chests with Scrap. Walk towards the switch and select the "skeleton" you want (it serves only esthetical purposes). After lowering the selected model you will be attacked by an enemy with knife. Watch out for attacks marked with red icon, you can't block them - only moving away or dodging will save you from damage. You can block only the lighter attacks, after that perform a quick counter. After the battle, pick up the dropped blade and prepare for few more enemies.
A large group will surround you. It is important to perform successive blocks and quick counters. Try to eliminate a specific opponent as fast as possible instead of focusing on all of them at once - a successful block and few attacks should be enough for that. Finally, while avoiding bullets, lower the bridge and the ladder, enter the car at the bottom and escape the graveyard.
During the escape, you will be attacked by few enemy vehicles. Use ramming or (what's easier) shotgun to shoot weak points (tires, gas tanks), this will eliminate your enemies' vehicles. Avoid bullets, destroy the cars and don't stop, you should easily reach the end of the road, where the mission will end.
