Smoke Rises | Story missions Mad Max Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
After getting close to Pink Eye's Silo, a cutscene will trigger. You will be tasked with destroying four vehicles that belong to Stank Gum's Legion. The fastest way to do it is by using the Thunderpoon.
After taking care of them, you will have to deal with three catapults. Each will be protected by enemies who will jump on your vehicle. It is a good idea to first drive them over, this will let you calmly take care of the catapults. You must open the door at the back of each of them - use harpoon for that. Opening the door will uncover exploding barrels. Shoot them with shotgun and the whole vehicle will be set on fire. Act similarly with two remaining catapults: drive over the enemies, open the door with a harpoon and shoot the barrels with shotgun.
After eliminating the threat, go towards the marker. You will have to kill one enemy there. Walk down, then find two valves that you must turn off in order to deactivate the flame. You will unlock the passage by doing so. Behind it four enemies will attack you. Watch out, as they use fast attacks and can avoid Max's weaker hits. In order to avoid losing health, you should use mostly counterattacks against them.
Return to the surface and go forward, through the ruins. Use the ladder, equip the Thunderstick in the place shown on the picture and throw the handle to the other side. This will unlock the bridge. Before entering it, you should use a throwing weapon again, this time against the opponents running towards you. Then you will be attacked by another wave of fast opponents. Similarly to before, use block, dodges and counterattacks to effectively eliminate them.
After defeating all enemies, use the ladder to walk above. Replenish the canteen and enter the stronghold. When you regain control of Max, prepare yourself for the last battle and for quickly blocking the first hit. The tactic that you should use isn't different than before. If you still have some shotgun ammunition or knives, use them as much as you want. Eliminating this group of opponents will end the mission and unlock Pink Eye's silo.
